Ah, I didn't consider that. A decent optimizing compiler should be able to remove all the tail calls (G++ did this with your code and -O2), so this shouldn't be a problem in practice, except maybe for debugging.

I don't see the problem. The nodes of the list are freed from beginning to end, and then "Done" is printed. What's supposed to be wrong here?

The demonstration of how to derive the circle area formula was the clincher, especially because of how similar that derivation is to other famous classical physics formulae. That was the only example I could previously conceive for why pi w

The Wikipedia article on duodecimal should give enough reasoning.

What's the difference between taking a picture in a public place (a.k.a. measuring the photons of the wavelength of visible light) and sniffing Wi-Fi signals (a.k.a. measuring the photons of the wavelength of radio)? Public photons are publ

If he's fixed the bugs and gotten it to be portable (at least to POSIX), then why shouldn't it get adopted? Just look at those benchmark results! 259ms per loop instead of the next best of 1.25s. If a real app gets improvements from this, i

Sure, 4chan can be like the Great Link of the Changelings in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Humans will develop a hive mind via 4chan and basically exist as a single unit, but just made up of many individual parts. Hopefully we'll use this n

My computer science teacher has a saying, "Mathematicians are always right." Why is zero even? Well, because it's defined to be even. If you try to bring personal intuition into mathematics, you'll just repeatedly shoot yourself in the fo

1. "checkout" is a destructive command Yeah, so? "checkout <branch>" changes the working dir's files to match those of <branch>, and "checkout <file>" reverts <file>'s contents to its original. It's documente

If you're referring to moot's supposed identity "Christopher Poole," you're wrong. There's no verification that that is his real name, and I think it's just a joke. Just look at the initials: CP. For those of you who are uninitiated, "CP" i

Maybe it just uses a CAPTCHA solver to get a list of likely characters?

That will largely become a non-issue as more people migrate from XP onto Vista or 7; all installations of Vista come with .NET 3.0, and 7 will probably come with 3.5 or maybe even 4.0 if it's out in time. Perhaps they could make two downloa

Wikipedia states that Ununbium (element 112) was first created in 1996, but that team's research was disregarded. Apparently, we've synthesized elements up to 118, except 117.

I agree. Once I learned how truly powerful Javascript really is, once you get past the horrible DOM, I knew it could one day become a general-purpose scripting language and not just a web one. As soon as someone makes a good command-line Ja

Can anyone explain why this takes so long to compile? It doesn't look that complicated. Edit: I compiled with "gcc -O3 -s", which took 8 minutes, but the executable is only 4784 bytes.

It scares me to think that many programmers are not comfortable with the command-line. Sure, GUI integration is nice, but I actually prefer using Git from the command line for most things, except for viewing history (Gitk/Giggle) or differe
