Depending on how rigorously the research on this is done, this is a test I might actually take, especially since, as he says in the article, a lot of it is stuff you can improve if you find yourself lacking. On the other hand, I don't

But FORTRAN had bounds checking, didn't it? Or is that just a modern thing?

The issue is less that git treats every paragraph as a single line, and more that git treats every line as a single line and they've put the paragraphs onto one line. It turns out that LaTeX actually looks for a double line break betwe

Okay, I appreciate that Ritchie was a genius and that C was revolutionary and is foundational to modern computing. But seriously, C arrays not having bounds checks has probably caused more security disasters than anything else in the histor

In which case it would probably die upon entering the human body, as it would find us miserably hypotonic.

I've seen this bleeding over happen fairly regularly, actually, not just in the LUG. It seems to be fairly common in groups where people interact heavily online and less heavily in person. (Also, hi spiffy!)

Ctrl+C interrupts the currently running program in a UNIX terminal, usually resulting in the program dying. That's probably what the commenter was referring to.

The embedded name of the note seems to be the only thing this has going for it, and only in high-quality prints. I feel like the stems help me to distinguish where notes start and end, and the sharps and flats seem a little... small. Also,

There's been a bit of a roundabout fad in the Triangle area, actually. They installed a couple in Wake Forest (a nearby town), and there's actually three near the spot you mentioned now. As a British expat, I am personally fine with them, b

I'd like to know this too. One of the main reasons I'm looking at a Kindle is to read journal articles on it.

I'm assuming that "spam" is largely either @spam or follow-spam. Also, I suspect that blocking @mention after @mention gets a little old after a while.

Does RoomKey actually sell individual rooms, or just hotel bookings? I've never used it, but looking at the site, it seems like it's just selling "a room at a hotel", rather than "a particular room at a hotel".

Actually, you can be @-messaged or direct messaged even by people you don't follow, so spammers still have an in.

Sony MDR-7506 are also good - a more updated (in the mid-90s) version of the V6.

I've had issues with gprof and gcov. In particular, gcov doesn't seem to pick up functions called via function pointer on OSX, a task which it does fine on Linux. As someone doing somewhat Serious C Development, I'm beginning to come to the

So far? Sitting through an 8:30am Stat class. Afterwards? Catching up on sleep, then working on my research (by which I mean programming a bunch).

Is there a particular reason you'd go for the PNG version over the PDF version? It's a more suitable format for these "cheat sheet" type pages, since it'll use the platform text rendering, and also keep the vector information (meaning it'll

In the case presented, the code is, in fact, already written: it's in Cocoa. So all the person needs to learn is how to call that code, which will be generally be different for each application. The reusable bit is already written; they're

It displays correctly in the Firefox content and UI (17.0a2, yes I am behind), but incorrectly in the OSX title bar.

Interestingly, things like "Hat", "Shoe", and "Human" end up in a Psychology/Emotion loop, rather than the Philosophy loop.

Worth noting that this particular "little robot", unlike the previous set, is about the size of a car. That's why they could fit more equipment on it. :D

These are guidelines for code which controls multi-million-dollar spacecraft. "No recursion" and "always predictable loop bounds" are also incredibly harsh, but they are helpful for verifying correctness.

Indeed, we are in agreement -- because FLV is a simple container format, it indicates that VLC is not using Flash Player, and is in fact notably more efficient in decoding.

Actually, he simplifies it down to four for explanation purposes. In reality, the TF2 economy has many, many different tradeable items.

Well, a big problem is that you're got a pretty huge sampling bias there. The people that it works for aren't going to comment to say "it works!" because that's the state that they expect it to be in. It works fine for me -- Firefox 13.0.1,

It does not. FLV is just a container format for MPEG-4 video (and possibly other codecs).

If people are finding them too small, making a new bitmap font which is big enough to use on a Retina display is not an issue in the slightest.
