Any book that gives a full pdf preview, I’m at least considering purchasing. I don’t want to take money out of the author’s pocket, but this, > Printing has been disabled from within this pdf file, so although you can view the entire bo

I dunno. The specific mechanism of a reporter uncovering some bad actions and spreading the word on TV, may not hold up so well. Corporation creates advertisements with, uh, bad side effects, and their own employee calls them out on it. Tha

This reminds me of this reddit question https://www.reddit.com/r/askmath/comments/1eakt5c/if_you_pic... "If you pick a real number from 0 to 1, what is the probability that it is rational?" and

True. How would you modify it to get the point across? Or am I crazy, and there is no point to being careful with alloca?

just don't do this. int a(){ void* mem = allocal(some_number); b(); } int b(){ a(); } if a() is a leaf (or can be trivially inlined) it's fine! on the other hand, if a() calls something else, that's

by jfoutz 2y ago
yeah. Leaf is a good rule of thumb, but if you need a little helper to do something it's generally fine. you really do need confidence the little helper can be fully inlined. if the helper is out of your control, and someone greatly ex

So the massive stack grab isn't permanent. Conceptually, if the compiler could just inline all of the child calls, it's fine. But if this call won't return for a long time, or may be called again (even worse). You're set

Isn't this just insurance? Medicare takes care of the very very expensive end of life care. but like, we all chip in, Some of us get very sick or hurt and there's no way to know up front who it might be. So, we all pay a little an

I don't remember the specific version (s) I played. I remember being kinda depressed and burned out. Although I didn't discover them, water ladders and cart boosters were so much fun. That feeling of almost cheating, using the bug

I'd think the inflation adjustment is regulation. but perhaps the law exists somewhere.

I'm not in any sense a lawyer. I don't have the time or inclination to read all of title 47. I wonder how well the FCC will stand up after Chevron. The AM bits I glanced at look really solid, this is a band, this is a channel this

I think they're way off with billions. I do think there are a mountain of AD servers out there though. Not sure I care to quantify exactly how many makes a mountain. but I'd think 2 commas for sure. more than a million? less than

Interesting. At the moment it's very very slow. I was able to eventually load and click through to see broad details about a crash. Pretty impressive collection of data.

This quote might help - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%27s_elephant#Histo... yes, a fun problem, but also a criticism of using to many parameters.

I've not used it in anger, so take it with a grain of salt. it sorta gives you a kernel space VM. you can inspect the state of things, make decisions about that state, and react to those things. for example, you could look at uri reque

I read about these in the foundation novels. No idea Asimov had stolen the idea! Borrowed I guess. That’s amazing, thanks for the link.

For various reasons Armageddon is one of my favorite movies. Action/comedy, not exactly _good_ but I find it enjoyable. I bring it up because of the Fictional mission commander talking to the president, > Begging your pardon sir, bu

I think you might be missing a little part of, market vs free market. There are many opinions, of course. Subsidise what you want and tax what you don’t is pretty popular, based on what people actually do.

Did you try math? You can shallowly cover miles and miles of math. And extend it every day or month or whatever works for you, forever.

I think humanity in general are only dimly aware of this space. The Research section is probably your best bet about what's different. I think your questions are what academics call "open".

Fast. Fast always wins. Trying something, regardless of outcome teaches something about the world. The more trials, the more you roll the dice, the more you learn. I really hate being wrong, but it is much better to be wrong a lot, and quic

Stratasys? I’m not sure about pricing, and the website won’t say. However, a bunch of places rent out time on those machines. Draw up your rocket, and get a quote. Price is generally cc^2 volume Metal is not cheap. Make a few out of plastic
