Note that the article refers to Soviet antisemitism: Jews were denied academic jobs, and they couldn't move abroad to work in their field, either. Not really related to mathematics as such (and definitely not about the mathematical com

Typically, you have a parser handle and can use that to query it about various aspects of its state. Here it would include line number, character offset, and byte offset. The type of error can be encoded in the error return value.

Web sites displaying non-copyrighted works could still be protected under the UK implementation of the EU database directive. There might also be non-copyright reasons why you are not allowed to reuse the displayed works without permission.

I don't think you can have automated retry because if the application logic lives outside the database and is not subject to its transaction processing (which is the common programming pattern today, I think), the database has to arran

If you start using locking, you'll encounter many more serialization failures. Similarly for higher isolation levels. This means that you need to retry transactions, and doing that can be quite hard. Many years ago, I wrote some helper

I understand that. The build environment I used had type-checking for CDI annotations, obviously outside of the Java language, if I recall correctly. If the types did not line up, the build would fail. This was part of some JEE training I t

Isn't Clojure dynamically typed by default? That would seem like a major difference to Java. Or is enterprise Java effectively dynamically typed as well, so that the language-level difference matters less? I had only very limited expos

I agree with the sentiment. Consider a hypothetical variant of Python that requires using eval() (with the same behavior as in Python, so full Python expression support) for converting from strings to integers or floats. Or that implicitly

Does it matter? Hasbro probably has growth targets. They may have concluded that price hikes for legacy content matching their growth targets were unlikely to be feasible.

The demands of the retailers are supposed to shape what the grid offers (both in the market sense and the infrastructure sense). I suspect the answer is far more mundane: the consumers purchased something like 98% availability, and this is

This misses an explanation why the suit was brought against the wholesale providers, and not the retail electric companies. I would expect that in general if there a dispute over services rendered, you need to work things out with your supp

But it's not actually written in C89. It uses POSIX threads, flexible array members, anonymous unions, bitfield members that are not int, declarations intermixed with statements. And that's just what “gcc -std=c89 -pedantic-errors

As far as I understand it, with JNA, all calls into C code go through libffi: https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/master/www/Fu... This means that every call sets up some libffi data stru

If you want to use JNI to interface with an existing C library, you need to write a thin C or C++ wrapper that is called via JNI and interfaces with that C library. This new Java API allows you to call C functions directly and manipulate da

Not sure about that. One of the screenshots mentions AMZNMKTPLACE AMAZON CO UK. If it was indeed an Amazon Marketplace vendor, then it's not entirely unheard of that it was a scam from the start.

Admittedly I had missed that. The kernel has self-patching mechanisms for doing effectively the same thing (although I don't know if it has ever been applied to memcpy before).

It's possible that they looked at RISC-V and concluded that it was unlikely they could achieve their performance goals with that architecture. As far as I understand it, the new Loongson CPU and the Asus mainboard are available commerc

The exact nature of the fix is unclear at present. During dynamic linking, glibc picks a memcpy implementation which seems most appropriate for the current machine. We have about 13 different implementations just for x86-64. We could add an

If you use it for producing the Box in the return value, you have to move out of it, and then it's gone. If you don't move it, you have a use-after-free bug after the first such panic has been caught and the box has been dropped a

The Box type, as used in the return type, transfers ownership to the calling function, so a check in the deallocator path would be needed to recognize this special object and avoid deallocating it. GCC has an emergency pool for its exceptio

I don't think panics are comparable to Java's VM errors. A lot of libraries (not just the standard library) seem to target panic-safety, avoiding unsafe behavior and resource leaks in case of panics. This means that the panic itse

by fweimer 3y ago
Rust currently cannot reliably panic on allocation failures because the error object is inside a Box, which itself requires allocation. This means that if memory is tight, panicking itself might fail. For reference, this is the type that is
