Yes, having to always explicitly specify all the fine grained capabilities a process might need is a pain, too.

The real broken concept here is root. Why do I have to give a process the ability to do anything it wants with the system if I want it just to write to a file in /etc, or to bind to port 80? On the other hand, having to always explicit

Yes, just open you favorite paint program, create a new image, select black color, select the fill tool, and click into the image. We don't spend oodles of money to build sensitive instruments to observe things you could see with the u

No, it was cancelled in anticipation of a new COVID wave that would make a strict hygiene concept necessary, and bacause most of the volunteers wouldn't want to attend such an event. That these measures might also become mandatory was

You are the one trying to force your partisan view on the volunteers who didn't want to risk their health for an event that probably wouldn't be fun anyway due to likely COVID restrictions.

Yes it does, C is defined in term of implementation defined, but finite sized pointers and integers, so the computational model of C is a finite state machine. But the size of the state space is so friggin' HUGE that that argument is c

My all time favorite machine translation was from a very early online service (I think it may have been by AltaVista) that translated "Würzburg" as "peppering castle".

And, oh, yes, "ß" sorts right before "ss" and after "sr".

You're wrong about german, that sorting order is only common for phone books, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32316743

by fhars 4y ago
It is not just locale dependent, but may also depend on the type of list you are sorting. So while German dictionaries ignore the umlauts as claimed, German phone books sort names with umlauts according their non-umlaut transcription (ä = a

What makes these kind of particles interesting and "exotic" is that they are not the kind of particles the Standard Model was originally developed to describe. Those particles, mesons and baryons, consist of two and three quarks,

But then monads are a way to think about computations sequentially. If I write highly sequential code in a C-like language, in many cases most of the code is just boilerplate made necessary by the absence of native support for monads:

To me it looks like neither you nor the designer have ever used an iron on their clothes. Every iron I have ever seen had one, two and three dot markings at the appropriate positions on the temperature dial. Or does that just happen on Euro

The problem here is that the most favoured hypothesis currently is "there is nothing there that can be discovered with any accelerator that can be built using less than 80% of the world's GDP over the next 50 years." And all

So, after all I've got it to compile and more or less work with GCC 9.4.0. It uses some GCC-isms (goto the address of a label), so it is probably not very portable: https://github.com/fhars/stoical

Maybe the compiler is telling you all the time what is wrong, see this warning: kernel.h:181:19: warning: operation on ‘sst’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point] 181 | #define fpop(s) ((--s)->v.f)

The OP is wondering why this does not work with a current gcc.

by fhars 5y ago
No, the original code supports Alpha, so it should be 64bit clean. It's got loads of other issues, though. Not respecting sequence points seems to be the most obvious.
