C is part of the Algol family. Fortran was/is syntactically and semantically quite different. Algol was almost contemporaneous with Fortran and, although did learn from Fortran, was, at least partly, a reaction to its perceived flaws.

In the UK that's (more or less) the minimum plus or minus caps. It's not uncommon to get offered higher, month per year for example, in return for signing a waver. Edit. I'm not suggesting that you'll get paid for 10 mon

This is not good advice. Although it is true that you don't need to sign these docs, many countries have very low legal requirements for statutory redundancy pay. UK definitely, US too I believe. If the company is offering more compens

As your being made redundant, there's nothing untoward about their reason. 1 month for each year served is fairly normal so again, nothing untoward. Signing a release is also fairly standard. Under these circumstances I would always re

Because synchronous IO will block the OS thread. If you're multiplexing a bunch of green threads on that OS thread, they'll all stall. That's why Go, for example, does use async IO. But it makes the use of it look like sync

Could you expand on the "all signs" bit please? I was under the impression that there was little to no evidence of anything much outside the observable universe.

by lucozade 10y ago
That's correct. Current estimates are that spacetime at the edge of the observable universe is expanding at about 6c.

As this was sent to experimental nuclear physicists in the 30's, it may well have been a reasonably accurate description.

C, the 1980's Porsche 911 of programming languages. Drive it well and it's scary fast. Make a mistake and you're upside down in a ditch. And it takes 30s for a dedicated amateur to break in and steal it.

Indeed. But one can't have it both ways. You either use your definition and call out ignorance/mistaken explicitly or you define lying as covering all unthruths. Fulton Sheen cheats by pretending to use your definition but subsumi

Who said they died because of their belief in the Resurrection? I think it is highly likely that His followers believed strongly that He was the Messiah and His message had divine provenance. It's much less clear which parts of, what b

The value of Bayes' work is somewhat orthogonal to his use of it to prove the truth of the Resurrection. It was valuable to show that Hume's approach was flawed but limited value to prove the truth per se. To apply probabilities t

I haven't read the legislation but I would fully expect that it would need a warrant to know the details. This sounds like they are formalising the collection of metadata rather than blanket access.
