If I recall correctly, they did a machine-assisted conversion of the Go compiler from C to Go using a similar technique. They wrote a compiler for C to Go, only bothering to handle the particulars of that one codebase, and changing the C if

Can someone recommend something close to this but with a countdown timer? I use that a hell of a lot more than a stopwatch.

Parent could be talking about the scanning and tabulation. In theory, there shouldn’t be anything problematic with “you vote on paper, and then slide it through a scanner, from whence it goes into a sealed bin”. Then you can still hand-reco

Sort of off topic, but I recall a DOS game my dad played that was kind of like a Roguelike but with rudimentary top-down graphics, where you explored a castle. Anyone know what it is?

If you know that a method isn't virtual, calling that method is just a function call with an extra argument for 'this'. If it's virtual, you have to look it up in a vtable, probably dereferencing two pointers in the proc

The Northern Ireland approach would work if China had any sense of shame. The UK rules of engagement were tied to the idea that some atrocities would be embarrassing if they were in the morning paper the next day. It helps if the area to be

SQLite is the place that (to my knowledge) was the first to do these "railroad diagrams". Here are all of theirs (though they're also available inside the documentation): https://sqlite.org/syntaxdiagrams.html

Incidentally, the use of radios is unsporting in Kansas, and therefore forbidden (unless you’re hunting coyotes—they’re considered a pest, so you can pretty much do whatever you want).

People like us are tempted to take intro classes on pure ego. It doesn’t get you as far as you think. Rule of thumb: study for two hours per credit-hour in class.

Apples to apples--I'm comparing Hong Kong in 1995 to the rest of the mostly-self-governing British territories in 1995 . I'm not comparing them to India in the 1940s (as the most obvious example of the Brits' abuse of othe

I can see this easily. Unemployment is insurance—it’s not designed for more than a small number of people actually using it at once. Once that money is gone, and the federal unemployment backup fund is gone, and the food bank has to turn pe
