you are only required to accept legal tender for the purpose of settling a debt - if you’re buying something, you’re actually making an offer for trade. indeed, many places in the UK are cashless only establishments.

note that the interception of most correspondence, e.g. mail, is still a federal offence. additionally, the record of that correspondence can easily be erased. no warrant exists to recover the contents of a burnt letter, i.e., compel someon

bear in mind that whilst the scope of those ammendments may have been, for want of a better term, “extended” (SC sets precedent for interpretation, as far as i’m aware, i.e. the amendments do not actually change), you must also bear in mind

could you prepend all messages with a timestamp (inc stdout), then reorder in your post-processing?

oh please no. please don’t just simply set all stderr to red - it doesn’t help at all, and makes reading multi-line things near impossible (there is a reason why most image/video codecs use 1/2 as many bits to encode red colour da

so, to confirm, you believe that destitution, embarrassment, shame, depression, and eventual arrest - not to mention having to come to terms with being forced into a place you have never lived before - are reasonable consequences of being s

by foxhill 8y ago
the comparison at the start is nonsense - there is no specification for the ordering or location of stack variables. by taking the address of these variables, you could see that they actually are the same value, and so intuitively you’d thi

i do not understand what incentive there is for anyone to use this - after apple's deprecation of a standard they themselves conceived only 9 years ago [1]. Berkley sockets might not be the conceptually best approach, but their support

for even a small voltage differential, with a resistance of near-zero, the current could be very large. basically until one of the regulators gives way, which is likely way passed the point at which damage can occur.

of course, specialised hardware will always outperform general purpose hardware. all that is indicative of is the question you’re trying to ask in malformed. suppose, for instance, you could parameterise a merkle-damgard construction, such
