Quite so. I'm not sure China cares there's an environmental cost associated with coal. With no other buyers, won't that make dirty coal the cheapest?

Surely China will pony-up for more coal?

I've been struggling with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy for 13 months. Progressive loading, heavy/slow resistance work and your pick of eccentric, isometric or isotonic exercises are apparenlty the way forward. The big

I think this depends to some extent on the type of job you're going for, which might seem trite but a graphics role is going to be different from a systems programming role. I've been writing Java for a long time and tired after a

I read a blog of someone preparing for a 24-hour swim around one of the Swiss lakes and he was explaining about how it's important to get the reach and catch right. I understood this to mean getting your body rotation, shoulder and sli

Full disclosure: I am definitely not famous, but might be considered a programmer. I found that when hacking for a several months on a solo prototype project, my hours drifted later and later so that I ended up going to bed around 4 a.m., a

I have a laugh every time I see their "Recently Added Movies on Prime" section and find films from 2007. Or their "Popular|Trending Movies on on Prime" and see films with a <5 score on IMDB. There is no reason I would

Does this mean anything for the protection the planet receives from cosmic rays or solar wind?

Thanks. I'm mostly paranoid about whether the ROL instruction has precedence over the OR ... ;)

If b is uint8_t you get zero if you <<8, but the expected value if you * by (int)256; or is it late and I should keep quiet?

Is this the same as lűtfisk? I was once administered this at my then girlfriend's parents' place at Christmas. They'd bought me some ham as a backup for when they'd stopped laughing at my expression! I love Sweden and th

Ah, good point - I misread the comment. I would reassert, though: a HC diet can leave you prone to very snotty episodes, compared to the alternative ;) It's been one of the two most obvious beneficial changes of my LCHF foray, the othe

Code bloat could easily be sorted out by forcing people to read the generated assembly of their creations.

As the earlier reply speculated, I'm in the UK. I should add that sometimes I use my phone's mobile WiFi hotspot, which is equally good until we hit the standard middle-of-nowhere blackspot.

Agreed: they are deploying tremendous skill, but not necessarily with the same level of academic achievement and formal traineeship. I say this as someone who has qualified and worked as a lawyer and subsequently cross-trained into and now

Yes, of course that's possible. I was trying to point out their usefulness to the programmer as well as potentially to the runtime/JIT. Next time I'll list the obvious exceptions!

In Java static methods are a particularly simple way making clear to the compiler and runtime that a given functions does not have side effects (to instances of the owning class). I can imagine that, as a pattern, they would assist escape a
