If you have to "port" your code from one C++ compiler to a new C++ compiler, then they are not both true C++ compilers per standards, or your code is not pure standard C++.

Can anyone express plainly what is the point of the std::byte circle jerk when we already have uint8_t?

With regard to the PRUs, I don't think the BB Blue has anything the BB, BB Black, and BB Green don't. They all have the PRUs. It's a function of the AM335x Cortex-A8 SoC. At this point, you need a time machine to get a BB Blu

All tax is organized theft, backed by irresistible force. You are welcome not to face that fact, but it doesn't change the truth. The only real opportunity for disagreement is whether that theft is justified. And, I suppose, we can pla

Yeah. That's the idea , all right. The reality , not so much. Anyway, if you disclose the idea, all anyone has to do is come to an agreement with you to use it. And if you keep it a secret ... it's exactly the same! All anyone h

RAID-Z3, or a mirror of two RAID-Z2s for me, I have one of each. You can also do mirrors with more than just two elements.

Except the datasheet [0] does not list anywhere "Cortex-M3", nor reference any ARM cores other than the Cortex-A8. So if it is there, they are keeping it a deep secret. [0] http://octavosystems.com/octavosystems.co

The main CPU is a Cortex-A8. In additions, there is a PRU-ICSS (Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communication Subsystem), which has two 32-bit RISC cores. The latter can handle hard real-time intricacies without any latency from the

The other way of looking at it is that 2.7 is EOL in 2020, and there will be no further 2.x. 2.x is very much a dead end. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

There simply is no good reason. I have had this discussion, and there is a group of people who consider it "unclean" to rule out any characters. There is an excellent discussion of the topic[0]. I find it utterly definitive in

When the design was made, no one was considering pathology. We were all too invested in the wonder of making it all work to worry about people screwing around in crazy ways, let alone purposeful attacks. As long as everyone recognized that

"Utilities" should not have to gracefully handle troublesome filenames, each one re-inventing the wheel. If the system as designed accepts almost literally any characters in pathnames, it doesn't make a lot of sense to co

Nonsense. Xeon e3 all have ECC AFAIK; the whole line. My old low end Xeon e3-1225 has it, and the latest e3-1225 v5 has it too. It's a $200 chip and is eminently suited for ZFS NAS (that's what mine is doing) - as well as desktop.

Nice generalization. I've never had AC and almost nobody I know has AC. It's not unusual to reach 90F (32C) in the kitchen and other rooms in summer.

That would be pretty surprising if true, but it's not: #include <unistd.h> int main() { execlp("ls", "ls", nullptr); } g++ -std=c++11 -o x x.cpp "cpp cpp.cpp cpp.cpp~ cryptkeeper q q.c q.c~ q.cpp

I looked into this. #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "sizeof(NULL) = " << sizeof(NULL) << '\n'; } Compiling with both g++ 6.2.1 and clang++ 3.9.1 with -std=c++11 in both cases gives

Incorrect. execlp requires a NULL to terminate the argument list. How else would the called function know when to stop processing arguments? To quote the linux man page, "The list of arguments must be terminated by a NULL pointer..

Any hydrocarbon fuel burning in atmospheric air produces some NOx,and some particulate matter. I should also have mentioned SOx, at least considering that your methane fuel is not going to be chemically pure CH4. Natural gas, in addition
