No, it certainly isn't.

I'm not mistaken. Panic handlers are not any kind of exception.

No, it certainly doesn't.

That's irrelevant. It's like saying that you can count to infinity if you never stop counting ... but no, every number in the count is finite.

No, it isn't ... an infinite expansion isn't possible.

Use an analog computer how, to do what? An analog computer can do analog operations on analog signals, but you can't get an irrational number out of it ... this can be viewed as a sort of monad.

That's just saying that you can pick and use rational numbers (which are a subset of the reals.)

by jibal 10mo ago
At no point will your number be transcendental (or even irrational).

An I/O error on a mmapped file causes a SIGBUS, which the program can catch and report. And I/O bound programs are I/O bound whereas programs that aren't, aren't, so it really isn't meaningful to talk about whe

This doesn't address the question and adds to it a misrepresentation of the facts.

Certainly some people know better than some other people, and I see nothing in the guidelines that say otherwise, or say that one cannot say so ... expertise is a thing. OTOH, I think there are several aspects of your comment that go agains

I think he's conveying that he doesn't know what he's talking about. buf[i] generates the same code regardless of whether mmap is being used. The first access to a page will cause a trap that loads the page into memory, but t

Random ad hominem criticisms from strangers are insulting. Stick to substance and stop insulting people and then pretending you didn't. Over and out.

You missed the point. I could say more, but not to some random person who chooses to insult me.

Right. the statement "Here’s a photo of a Christmas tree, as my camera’s sensor sees it" is incoherent.

Fine, it's some other sort of stupid ignorant intellectually dishonest bigotry. (Most of the people who get attacked as boomers are actually in the generation before them.) > Whether those complaints are right or wrong on a statisti

That does not in the least address my concern. Again, "it certainly isn't true in the way that genes express traits".

Your question is disingenuous, as the word "boomer" didn't appear isolated with no context. The statement was "the baby acts like a boomer", which clearly has a pejorative connotation--you yourself recognized this w

I and others generally don't quote things that aren't relevant to the point we're making and I'm not keen on the crypt-accusation. I didn't say that there aren't downstream molecular effects--clearly there are.
