   You could split A into multiple components (1st to 4th byte, 5th to 8th byte), and multiply/divide those components separately. That would still fit into 64bit. Partial example is here: https://codereview.stackexchange.com&#

   I had a few friends like that. Their friends were their phone replacement: Could I make a quick call? Do you know where X is? Would you mind to tell him... It is like to be proud not to have a car, but to constantly ask others to drive you

   > This leaves a sample of 552 economists ... between 1975 and 2014 Soon there will be studies about a few dozens people and latter about individuals. I just wish other issues would receive similar attention and dedication.

   It was pretty common in soviet Czechoslovakia. Another "high tech" communist trick is to put flush reservoir to ceiling, higher pressure requires about 30% less water.

   Hm, how about reversing "toilet-to-tap" into "tap-to-toilet"? I guess its too complicated to flush toilet with water from shower or dishes.

   Most of my code is thrown away. But I like to finish stuff, so there is a chance I spend next weekend finishing/polishing the interview questions. It is great for career, but has to be managed. Also my job is to design database structu

   I write lot of code, but I refuse to do coding at interview. For me its sign of dysfunctional company. But I do not mind to do pair coding, and fix an actual bug. There are more reasons, in short it takes me couple of hours/days to war

    This is excellent, I will add my project soon. Just a small idea: add section with projects which offer rewards for contributors. That should cover: * users who will pay for bugfixing * some sort of small rewards such as bug contests * sch

    Then they should change title from "female" to "parent". Anyway it is typical rant disconnected from reality. Why nobody hires me with my doctorate from "communications"?

    I find this article a bit sexist, it assumes that women are only one who raises children. Plus 60 years old plumber with alimony has it pretty hard as well, and nobody will hire him as part time teacher.

    In large corporations it is less sinister than that. Managers do not value fixing bugs, improve user experience etc. Priority is to add more stuff and features... Right now there is an article about bloated web pages, good illustration of t

    Original article states that 3/4 of Apollo budget went into 'non-recoverable hardware'. It is very misleading.

    by jkot 11y ago

    That is just lie. Source says that entire "Spacecraft Development" for entire Apollo was just $52,000,000. I bet development and testing cost was merged into hardware cost. Plus many expensive parts were reusable (launch pads, tes

    Most extreme trick was destruction code, which would only be executed while debugging, due to timing. Back than it was possible to destroy CRT display (set refresh frequency too high), motherboard (overwrite BIOS) or harddrive.

    There is a treaty from 1989, that all land disputes are closed and borders are final. They claim there is a glitch after that, so it is is a gift.
