Well, whichever ET it's targeting, I hope they enjoyed it; I'm pretty sure no human did.

Of course (well, there's some arguments to be made here with regard to prescribed drugs, but let's leave them aside for the minute). The only gripe I was addressing here was the idea that denial = guilt.

You definitely did a good job. I'm an avid sci-fi reader, write it as a hobby, spend a not-insignificant amount of my free time reading up on space news, and even have a degree in mathematical physics; this is the first time in a long

> 800 thousand times around the entire equator of earth This probably wasn't your intention, but putting it in terms like this, for me anyway, actually drives home just how short a distance the Voyager probes have travelled.

I agree (I'm from Ireland, and we're generally fairly pro-EU). Being an island though, the reality it doesn't make a huge difference to us day-to-day. The way I'd imagine the UK retaining it's opt-out here, is that

I’m fairly sure RHEL has had in place upgrades for a few release now (at least going back to the 6 -> 7 transition, nearly a decade ago).

Sure, but that doesn’t necessarily require a single currency. For what it’s worth, I’m in favour of the euro (and further EU integration).

To play devil’s advocate, a lot of that is now ameliorated by the decline of cash and the rise of certain neobanks. I’m in Denmark at the moment, and thanks to my banks (N26, Revolut), I can cheaply convert my savings (EUR) and spend in the

I suspect they could maintain an opt out for the Schengen, purely because a land border exists with Ireland, which isn’t part of the Schengen area either. (That being said I’d like it if Ireland joined Schengen, as it makes it just a tad mo

Arithmetic is very much a part of mathematics, it seems bizarre to me to argue otherwise. It may very well be a trivial and uninteresting part of mathematics compared to the rest, but it’s still mathematics nonetheless.

I recognize the "hello world" and "int 21h" but, can I ask why that instruction listing seems to start with "xchg (e)ax, (e)bp"?

The second one is effectively a nop though. The fact that it’s xor rax, rax rather than xor eax, eax is also interesting as it’s one byte longer for exactly the same effect (modifying the bottom 32 bits of a register clears the upper 32 bit

Good catch. Yeah, as long as the functions address is never taken the compiler has a lot of leeway with static functions; it can even avoid emitting code for them entirely if it can prove they're never called or if it's able to co

C allows for any function to be called via a function pointer, and functions can be in different translation units, so the compiler can't simply assume that a function will never be called indirectly and has to pessimistically insert e
