If you have a pointer-only array you could just make it based on void*. Primitives and by-value arrays make it a lot harder.

Why does array_push_back need three parameters? Couldn't the macro just use size_of on the second param?

I wonder if the solution could just be removing the answer box for questions with very conflicting answers. The system is harder to game if the user is stuck doing a bit of research.

The arguments feel disingenuous. A start-up is much less likely able to fight a subpoena for user data. A start-up is much more likely to disappear. The only real case I see is an argument against ads, though I don't see any disclaimer

The problem with most conspiracy theories is the number of Confederates it requires to keep a secret. Subtly tilting the scale with paper ballots across the nation requires many more Confederates than hacking across a network. This makes ha

I wonder if this new freedom to do security research can help us discover vulnerabilities in our IoT devices before they're used in another massive DDoS.

Is this a bad thing? You can just increase the number of front-end servers and have high throughput in a service with reliable tail latency.

This is a perfect example of dogma over logic. I'm not sure if the author just prefers we all use the Mac app store. Three rules for any installation process: 1. Make sure you trust the vendor 2. Make sure you trust the delivery (TLS)

I also think there was a clearer bias towards mushroom shaped objects than O'Keef work. It made me wonder if nude men are considered more pornographic than men.

I've had withdrawal effects. They can be severe and tend to be physiological. They're usually fairly easy to point to and help me catch if a change in routine made me forget to take pills (eg after travel). I found this so interes

As a quick survey, do the people who believe that SSRIs have only a placebo effect also disbelieve any biological source of depression? Since the plural of anecdote is data, I'll share my story. I struggle with depression. I've ke

Good feedback. I have one comment and one question: 1. I personally prefer to present a terse message to stderr and stack traces to a debug file. This helps a user give support more information when they're hitting transient issues. 2.

I think that's overly harsh. It's closer to wanting to learn how to make cocktails, taking advice from a friend on how to stock a basic bar, but not really feeling comfortable enough with the domain to experiment beyond fixed reci

My favorite time-related false beliefs are about time zones: 1. 1AM happens 24 times a day 2. Ok, so 1A is screwed up because of DST. Noon happens 24 times a day. 3. The maximum distance between time zones is 24 hrs 4. Time zones are in 1hr

Forgive my ignorance of ML but the last bit: "you'll need your own porn to train on" confused me. Does this mean that they're just exposing the rough topology of their neutral net (eg depth) and not the actual weights be

The rules for the Firebase Database allow read & write access as well as validation. It may not handle every possible case of business logic, but it's a very powerful tool.

Not necessarily. When the first iPhone came out with retina display I eventually realized that the contacts app had incredibly tiny letters on the tabs. It was only visible if you looked very closely but was an amazing touch of polish.

FTA: the price is intended to be low enough that one wouldn't try to use this to be a taxi driver. It reminds me of the days when someone offered to chip in for gas in exchange for carpooling. Disclaimer: I'm a Google employee but

In C, a function with no parameters is variadic. You need to add "void" to preclude parameters. This is one of the few breaking changes in C++ where no parameters means no parameters.
