The comparison I would make is Santa Claus. He is not all powerful, but he has a lot of supernatural powers. He makes demands of your behavior (but you don't have to align your whole life around him) that comes with a tangible reward (

I think it's quite logical. A simple filesystem with few features is obviously easier to implement.

I wonder.. Back in polytheistic times did people really believe all those stories about their pantheon? It seems to me that the lines between true history, pious belief, and entertainment were all kinds of blurred. Maybe people simply didn&

After thinking about this a bit, my conclusion is that it's a deficiency in the calling convention. It should specify the floating point flags as either caller saved or callee saved.

Well it depends on context I would say. Like first you have to consider sample size. The more you break something down the lower the sample size becomes, and the more breakdowns you try, the more likely you will find some kind of spurious p

Why does the asset value model not take the rebates into account though? They are gaming the system and tenants suffer.

I've been thinking for a while that there are so many possible sources of poisons it's very hard to monitor them all. But there is only one of me. So logically I should check if I have elevated levels of poisons. Then, and only th

Commercially available solar has gotten a lot better and batteries have too, so clearly some breakthroughs are ending up on shelves eventually.

Numpy is incredibly widespread and basically a standard so I would propose: It should have exactly the same layout in memory as a numpy array. It's fine if it has a very limited set of operations out-of-the-box. Maybe something like ge

People are generally more willing to do slightly unethical things over really unethical things. That's why in this case, I think it's much more likely that they will simply move to discussions to unlogged avenues like phone calls

In regards to the first part of your post, being opportunistic and goal-driven are not necessarily opposites. A person who is both has a plan that they follow by default, but the flexibility to turn on a dime if a better choice opens up. Th

I think you misunderstand my point. Consider the following program: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int a[10]; a[20] = 100; printf("%d\n", a[20]); } because accessing a[20] is u

Memory corruption is undefined behavior and means the compiler is free to do anything it wants. Anything it wants... and that includes doing something entirely safe and reasonable. If you write out of bounds, the compiler is allowed to shut

Okay, so a "block" is a sequence of instructions that can be executed from top to bottom, i.e. only the last instruction may be a jump. A 2-ahead branch predictor is a branch predictor that predicts not which block to run next aft

You never know where the next breakthrough will come from, but clearly some places are more likely and some less. In this case I guess something that could happen is that theories predict the element will last for say 1 femtosecond but expe

The reason they say "In cityname" is probably because they aren't 100% certain of your city. The preface lets you catch the mistake if it makes it.
