grub doesn't control anything, it transfers control to the OS and is never contacted or heard from again. More concretely, in the case of Linux, the init task (first task and parent of every other task) function has a "tail" call to cpu_idl

You can use a stock rdbms and still keep track of changes. Just keep a seperate "Updates" table which consists of the tuple {class, object, change-description, changed-when, changed-by} You don't need both class and object, but I prefer to

Bob Harper is a pillar of PL research, I think the credentials of his detractor deserve just a tiny bit more scrutiny. It's one thing to refute his assertions, and it's something else entirely to dismiss them as "troll" or "butthurt".

How much are you betting? "multithreaded real-time clock + infix calculator hybrid application" sounds useless and stupid in any language. No one who can code would be stupid enough to write such a thing, specially in C, and specially as a

So I implemented this stricter definition of C pointers and it's neither interesting, nor representative of Real World uses that I know of. Need to investigate a bit more.

That Oleg link has me nerd-snipped. What I can't wrap my head around is how one would implement pointer-arithmetic with these closures? C pointers are not just references to cells, but those cells are guaranteed to be contiguous (up to a ce

this appears like a hand-crafted linkbait to help their SEO. What does "Attendly" have to do with this anyway?

Ahhh yes, tablizer. He is still around I see.

Farmlog is a web-based CRUD app. Monsanto is a billion dollar, multinational behemoth. All daeken said was not to be afraid to sell out to big-agro if you have a chance, take the money and run, be a martyr on your own damn time and dime. Yo

Straw-man much? You are mischaracterizing both the letter and the spirit of what daeken said, framing a convenient caricature of it to say "hey look everybody, I disagree with this mean badie". Poor form.

If you want to raise kids to make them into successful people so you can invest in them, why not also have some fun? Make babies! Get laid, get pregos, raise them then you will be a major stock-holder in their success.

This has "confused" written all over it. There are too many axes to this: there is the education part, the charity part and the business part. Pick one and think it through. Also, I think your take on education is misguided, at best. The su

Also, the 'T' in "AST" stands for tree. Not all intermediate-represenatations are trees: some are linear, like stack and register operations, others are graphs, etc. But you were right, that description is .. PHPish.
