I agree, I do not see a natural object relationship between the types of numbers. 'Natural' (unsigned int) numbers might be a building block of signed integers, fractional pairs, and composed floating point types; but they seem li

The headline is misleadingly focusing on a soundbite out of the full quote. "It's a shame, but what can we do? There really isn't anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer do

ISO8061 or RFC3339 are the only correct date formats; though if for some forsaken reason your ledger starts accounts on the right hand page and treats the left as part of a prior record, then placing the least frequently changing part of th

Traditional redaction implies a retention of length unless an entire block is considered protected / classified / secret in some way. To destroy even length, or possibly stenographic content a transcription and maybe rephrasing mi

Full destruction of information is critical. If you need a fool-proof process flatten everything to a 'monochrome' (black and white) image and draw over the redacted areas with a total fill. This looses text search, but any proces

Tabs vs Spaces Tabs are always correct, IF spaces are never used instead. One tab, for one level of indent. Adjust to preference. Alas, I don't think there's a standard way of specifying... // kate: space-indent off; i

It's a LOT easier to regulate something that has a fixed place and can be seen. If I had kids I'd only break out tablets / mobiles in Offline mode with content I approved of for trips. Everything else needs to be on a PC or b

It'd probably be amazing how many poorly coded games would work better if something like... TCP_60FPSBUFFER Would wait for ~16mS after the first packet is queued and batch the data stream up.

Invariably, I end up using _at least_ 3.2 gallons as it takes multiple flushes to finish the job.

I'd argue Afghanistan was an unclear and unfunded set of moving goal posts. There was an objective the US did succeed in; the death of the figurehead for the terrorist group that perpetrated September 11th 2001 attacks. Forcing a regi

The problem is; it used to take lots of real effort and therefore expense to investigate those facts. The results are now worth far more, and the cost is now far less. That is a change in the structure, the unwritten expectations of societ

It's likely worse than that. Any social graph is likely corrosive for anonymity. Who knows whom, who talks to whom. What platforms they connect on and how often. As a society we'd be better off trying to make living in glass ho

ID REALLY should be paid for by taxes and 'free' for everyone obtaining their proof of identity. Now, a 'drivers' license might have an extra fee on top of that. Maybe the free IDs could be issued by police departments?

While trying to consider why they might have selected 60 I started to wonder where the prime factors went, or rather might have come from; since it's already clear why they were useful for divisions. Dividing a circle into quadrants co

In shell :>filepath often works... However sometimes filesystems can't do that. For those cases, hopefully the filesystem supports: resize-grow, resize-shrink, and either additional temporary storage or is on top of an underlying s

Again, since there's confusion. They want _every zstd decompressor_ to __already have__ the dictionary in question so that it can be specified as part of the standard. E.G. 'instead of empty / an initial in file dictionary,

They want it as a standard option (pre-shipped with all decompressors). Not something they could incorporate into a customized fork / client that uses zstd with their own extensions.

Last I checked, DESKTOP AMD CPUs have working (not disabled, but not 'supported') ECC with DDR5 UDIMMs (5v source, not 12v server ram). Desktop BOARDS, depends on the HW + BIOS; initial firmware revisions didn't do ECC but f
