?: Is like if, but it’s an expression rather than a statement so it can go lots of places. I can’t see where l is declared. I’d guess it is a union. The tests figure out what kind of structure is passed in. either a plain old c string, a cs

Ha! I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are a few where the evil journalist or priest is held in contempt hindering finding the bad guy.

Hey Sophistry! There's a big difference between convincing the person you're arguing with and convincing an audience. I may persuade you, or you may persuade me and I think in that situation we both get closer to the truth. But if

My expertise goes as far as drama TV - but uh since this is a corporation, wouldn't the fine be more like average daily revenue /2 ? A night in the pokey seems pretty common, and that's kinda as close as you can get for the c

oh gawd. I signed up for twitter back in the day, and foolishly allowed access to my gmail contact list - of course they emailed everyone. And a few friends reached out to shame me (as they should). they still send a lot of email to that ad

Good farmland also kinda turns into cities. I don't think anybody is really into bulldozing Orange County, but I think the humidity is enough that orange trees don't need a whole lot of extra water. Manhattan was also (apparently)

Politically, it's a popularity contest. If you're friendly and responsive, even if not particularly effective, you'll win. Maybe raincast is less noisy, but if they're jerks and expensive?

somewhat cynical, but I think effective. Look into wireless internet service provider gear and mesh networks. It won't be faster than Comcast. 50Mbit maybe. Make flyers and talk to your neighbors. Call around and ask about pricing for

castlvania. I could consistently get to Frankenstein, but always struggled with Igor. 25ish years later, I still feel the same frustration. But, uh, yeah. I can't really think of a "fun" example.

could you give an example of (1)? Only because i have run into weirdness with printf calling malloc, back in the day. Even hello world makes me a little nervous about those claims. But I'd love to see a sample with explicit assertions

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Your point about nightmareishly confusing hellscape is what I just what was trying to get across.

Thanks for the clarification! my dim memories of high school civics failed me, and you helped me out. But I think the main point - water rights are a nightmare - still stands. Endless bickering over what rules apply.

if only they could put a little red led in the core. I realize the wafer has no bus, but I have an irrational desire for an all plastic 4 bit connection machine. I can handle failed nodes on the front machine. I want to allocate a zector of

I'm by no means an expert or a lawyer or someone you should listen to. But this may hint at the complexity. A lot of water rights come from Spanish land grants ~330 years ago. And those were guaranteed by treaty after the Mexican Ameri

Is it? Lights, transponders, and equipment to keep the runway free from snow. let's assume $5.00/sq ft to lay down gravel - 5280 ft/mi * 60mi * 10ft wide road is about 3 million. That's pretty generous given the remote l

I was unclear. Make the airport in king cove all weather. 4 miles out of town.

Well, sure. but they're looking to put in a gravel road. king cove, population 757. I think you'd want a road grader to start, I don't see a quarry on the map, but maybe there's one near by. You could also move a rock cr

Looking at google maps, there's a ferry about 30 mile ride on the water. I don't know the route they're proposing, but maybe 60 miles over mountains. Ugh. The ambulance isn't going to be going 60 over washboard roads. Th

I don't know your situation. I personally feel I've been given a lot of advantages that other people didn't get. And yet, I'm not a billionaire. It's easy for me to set unreachable standards for myself, and feel ash

I lived around Geary and 7th. Similar experience. So many grocery stores. They're all tiny, and heavily focused on different ethnicities of food. The halal butcher was great. Meraki permanently closed, but it was great for fancy food.

I'm not sure - if you're willing to tolerate more gunk on the edge of the pages. say the book is cut +/- 2.5 mm - each page has .5 of print on the edges, and each page image shifted by .01 mm (or whatever is appropriate). cut

there's another fun aspect that I think is neat. water is free to move around a little more than ice (especially ice on land). The earth is spinning, so the inertia of the water will sort of fatten the equator and thin the poles. Sea l

in highly charged political environments it's a status game. if you say nothing, you're implicitly on the wrong side for each listener (Backfires, like tfa discusses). If you hold up the virtues and tear down the corruption of eac
