I could swear I ran into that corruption (or a similar one?) almost a decade ago. They still haven't fixed it?! It was quite reproducible too, it just happened when I transferred a large file...

Yeah I agree. It's just meant to distinguish from legacy C++, basically the era before unique pointers (and thus move semantics etc.).

The issue here isn't "did delivery apps sometimes impersonate restaurants" (which is why you think this law is redundant), but rather "does this law ban things other than impersonation" (yes, and hence why others

I'm not even sure it's buying on anyone's "behalf" either. But rather just buying and then reselling goods.

Flexible regex engines. Pattern matching is a much more general problem than string matching, and you don't necessarily always have the entire input available initially. (In fact, especially for performance reasons, you might the patte

They're public? I don't necessarily feel a desire to make a public announcement about every comment I think might be interesting or worth referring back to.

Is the answer still no for conventional airlines? Because if have guessed the distinguishing factor isn't the amount of traveling, but the mode (budget airlines).

What is the compensation for each? Is it 250 EUR for both?

by mehrdadn 6y ago
I meant immaterial to the passenger , not immaterial in absoluteness. If the airline changed the flight number but still flew the same passengers to the same destination at the same time, you wouldn't say the flight has gotten cancele

I wasn't saying he shouldn't be compensated. I'm saying the compensation should account for the replacement flight he was provided. (See my edit.) And I'm not "dancing around the semantics of cancellation"— he&

I edited to clarify. I'm not saying the airline shouldn't compensate this. Rather, that the compensation shouldn't be as if the replacement flight never happened —it should be as if the replacement flight did happen. i.e.

I think I disagree on the flight having been canceled. I'd have assumed the distinguishing factor between a flight cancellation vs. rescheduling isn't the flight number (a flight number seems like an immaterial bookkeeping abstrac

Can't you just go to the nearest gate agent for another flight of the same carrier? I feel like they could point you to the right direction.

I'm saying that on the current path the US is on, it's not "if" to me, but "when". Or to be more precise, "at what rate". And I see that rate as monotonically getting worse. And either way, then doesn

The real rule turns out to be simple (although non-obvious): "Declaration matches usage." So, for example, if you want a pointer to a function returning a pointer to an array of 3 integers, you'd want (*(*f)())[3 - 1]

Yes but I'm saying this is kind of moot when you're writing a struct that needs to store the iterators, because it can't get away with just storing the 'begin' -- you can't guarantee the second iterator you&#x2
