yeah, projects under LGPL (e.g. Qt) include a special modification allowing use of header files so that people can actually use them as pre-built libraries due to the famously confusing 'static linking' statements in the licenses.

i don't buy the rhetoric at face value and i don't think it helps promote open source at all. at best its promoting one flavour of open source methodologies in an authoritarian way. not open source software in general... it does l

its not all go specific, despite the comment about 'C style' heap allocation and pointer usage, you will find your C code will get better if you do not do this as well. the heap is a last resort, not the first.

as a low level developer all of this confuses me. polyfills as a thing at all, multiple solutions and a service that can provide them (but doesn't actually work!) this is why web development makes me feel bad... all this time an effort

does the patent say it actually has to work? XD just saying... i'm always in two minds about this but i lean very heavily towards culling people who think this sort of thing should be patentable. i think it would benefit everyone for t

yeah, it falls out of how the brain functions i think... there are a bunch of classifiers in there, and its not always easy to map what they do to reasoning. there are loads of fuzzy concepts like this with day-to-day utility which are very

is identity even real? such thinking can be construed as a 'reductio ad absurdum' argument that it is not... how can we even tell if it is a concrete concept? its very poorly defined to begin with too...

i would guess that you are actually not allowed to do such work, that is kind of the point... at least here (UK), to be legal i'm pretty sure you need to get a DVSA (used to be VOSA) inspection and approval rather than just a regular M

yes, the fact that it applies to people makes it very interesting. am i the same person as when i was born? i would like to think that i am... but 'knowing' this makes me question a lot of the seemingly obvious things about self,

"#undef FLT_MIN #define FLT_MIN (-FLT_MAX)" i've seen FLT_MIN used as if it is -FLT_MAX enough times that i'm skeptical this would cause bugs rather than fix them. XD

they don't, but they also don't collide with air and interact with it... thats the key difference.

i think you misread. it just said they were interested in not having to go around the earth when you can go through it i think... this is expected and nothing to do with opera, and i'm sure plenty of people outside of HFT have thought

am i missing a joke? the use of the word particule everywhere instead of particle? its quite jarring... otherwise the article is quite interesting.

erm. why are you even using a pointer if its not late-binding? this is what static, stack, scopes and global variables are for with references as needed...
618.
by jheriko 11y ago
this is an interesting trick, but it only really has benefit if used this way when things are dynamically late binding. the cost of the check if an pointer is tagged can even exceed the cost of any simple operation /in total/ on a

i believe it is very much the consensus. the FLRW model of cosmology, which has made numerous confirmed predictions teaches us that the big bang is a geometric property of space-time i.e. a consequence gravity, and particularly Einstein&#x2

its a symbiotic relationship. stars exist generally at an equilibrium point where gravity is trying to make it collapse, but the pressure produced from the constituents pushing outwards balances it out. this is because if something is colla

this looks like an artificial neural network problem if ever there was one...

that is fantastically interesting. i'd be curious if the effect was on the men or women or both, as well as if there were any other experiments in similar areas. it solidifies my belief that most gender inequality today is perceived ra

by jheriko 11y ago
why is this though? i get your point about 'chaps', its a term only ever used to describe a group of men. with 'man hours' its more difficult because the intent is never to talk about gender, just how much time something
