Same here -- I played it in 1974 on an HP 2000F minicomputer via a teletype located in a converted janitor's closet at my high school. The author mentions the lack of ability to renumber the lines in a BASIC program, but I'm quite

I see a funny thing when I test it against yahoo.com: $ ./Heartbleed yahoo.com:443 (bunch of returned bytes) 2014/04/08 12:59:46 yahoo.com:443 - VULNERABLE Near the front of the returned bytes is the sequence &quot

No it's a good point actually, and it pays to know your context. Frankly, looking at the 118 lines in assert.h, it does considerably more than I really need. Instead of this: assert(buf->pos < buf->str->len); I coul

Right now, in my code, assert(0==1) produces this output to stderr: run: run.c:422: main: Assertion `0==1' failed. Aborted That is what I want. You are correct. If I build with -DNDEBUG=1, then the assert is completely ignore

Assertion failure messages are sent to stderr. Production code can capture that as it wishes.

I love C but I use it in a disciplined way. Here's the email I sent to the author: James: I liked your article on range checking. I'm very keen on assertions, for example here: https://github.com/chkoreff/Fex

I've been doing the 135-degree thing for many years, much like the picture there, but without the foot rest. I make sure to squirm around on occasion, and I get up and stretch and walk with the dog regularly. So far so good.

I couldn't take the new Cosmos. It's heavy on special effects and light on content, which is delivered in a breathless style that makes me feel like I'm on a third grade field trip. The old Cosmos, with Carl Sagan, was fasci

When I visited Sweden I spoke with a friend there who had been born and raised way up in the north of Sweden. He said the people there would bury and ferment all sorts of things, including seal meat, whale blubber, and birds sewn into seal

Good question. I go with -O3 because it does even more optimizations, but to be quite candid I really don't know what impact -fpredictive-commoning, -ftree-vectorize, and others have on my resulting machine code, if any. I did a quick

Agreed, see my post above about -std=c99.

by fexl 13y ago
I tend to go with: gcc -c -Wall -Werror -std=c99 -pedantic -O3 I use -std=c99 because I use these two features of C: 1. Mixed declarations and code, e.g. double x = 4.8 * 5.3; printf("x = %.15g\n", x); double y = 8.

Yeah, though I refactored their code to avoid the "goto", as an exercise. It would indeed facilitate making separate functions for common swaths of code, notably the duplicate code blocks beginning with ReadyHash and ending with

Looks like yet another dependency that I'll have to build from source code, and test, fix, and refactor myself.

Good point. Particularly interesting because you are suggesting an inverse correlation between work hours and wealth. Can you point me to some evidence for that? I might expect some sort of parabola, e.g. people who work very few hours te

Yeah, should be "leery", as in "The clear ends of FRNs for either transacting in illegal goods and services or speculative gambling make me leery of its use."

I bet if he had redirected the output to /dev/null it wouldn't be slower with 'B'.

I've taken to defining "@" as the Y combinator, so it looks kind of like a "goto" label for looping, e.g.: (@\fact\n \n==n <= n 0 1 (* n (fact (- n 1)))) (The \n==n forces an eager evaluation, to avoid bui

I did see that comment. However, I was addressing Mr. Watt's conclusion from the story: "What this means then is that money is nothing but bookkeeping." I disagree. What that story means is that the people were left holdin
