Different issue, that's shifting so far it would never fit. Here's an example with clang ubsan: https://godbolt.org/z/6Wvhn5rP9 Note that with foo = 0 there's no UB.

For the second idea, updating references when the code moves is more directly used in a newer Chrome patch format: Zucchini [1]. Courgette does a complex process of disassembling, aligning labels, and sending a patch of the disassembly, so

There are several different results. Language aptitude was the best predictor for learning rate. Fluid intelligence was the best predictor for programming accuracy (the numbers you quote), and for declarative knowledge. But yeah the actual

I used to code in pencil during the day at school, so I could test when I got home (and avoid boredom). These days I'll still sometimes use paper if I'm trying to optimize some inner loop assembly, easier to draw the code and the

I rarely write in a book besides my name in pencil in the front. But when I see an error that I can't ignore, I'll make a copyediting mark or note in the margin so I can move on. Very occasionally I'll get a book that I need

Yep, "magic corners" are considered infinite size in terms of Fitts's law, though with larger and larger screens it still takes time to get there.

Lively Kernel all runs in the client, though, while repl.it runs the code server-side. Not that this was new, either, but it seems confusing to compare to Lively. (It's been years since I've checked out either of these projects so

The point (as I think jerf explained helpfully) is that it restricts a general graph structure so that it can be more easily navigated, so no one-way teleports or multiple exits to the same place. I think the analogy to an adventure game sp

xz doesn't have BCJ2 (though it does have an earlier BCJ filter), which allows for somewhat better compression of exes. BCJ2 produces separate streams which independently compress better. See for instance https://bugzilla.mo

You can even send the code lengths with at worst one bit per symbol, by sending the number of internal nodes at each level of a complete binary tree structure, this can be a concatenation of unary numbers and there's n-1 internal nodes

They replace it with some illegal instruction, so the process crashes. With a lot of logic running in per-origin processes, this may only bring down one tab instead of the whole browser. Edit: Or maybe the error handling can avoid killing a
