Back in 1983 the authors of UNIX were already complaining about the proliferation of incompatibilities. As far as "true unix" is concerned nothing this paper refers to is considered "true unix". It seems that UNIX

Grabcocque is not advocating for anything, but attacking the article and go enthusiasts. There is no criticism to Go as a language presented, only criticism of those that claim to be productive in it. In fact in its original form the commen

In Go, floating-point constants may have very high precision, so that arithmetic involving them is more accurate. The constants defined in the math package are given with many more digits than are available in a float64. Having so many digi

Any time you see a decimal floating-point constant with a nonzero fractional part that doesn't end in '5', you're looking at a bug. depends on the language. for example here it is in go: Pi = 3.14159265358979323

the two PDFs used the same (colliding) prefix and included both files you supplied. once you've reached a hash collision, any number of identical blocks after that would hash the same. if you want a proof, submit a different image: the

thank you. it wasn't intended to be negative (or, to put it in a positive spin, it was a positive negative :), mostly "i'm not sure, but i don't think so".
