1 day for (1cm)^2 is 15 minutes for (1mm)^2. That might be okay for a start -- I suppose they do not want to go for the largest chips right from the beginning.

I think the mathematical approach to this paradox would be to line up the reasoning for time-reversal side-by-side with the predictions for Norton's Dome, and find a flaw in either of them. Are we even sure that the reasoning behind ti

Let me rephrase that: "A toxic cloud was leaked, for all we know caused by subpar safety standards on the other side of the globe, which involved the same chemical that was used to produce my PVC flooring." Based on this reasoning

I think IDEA actually splits a CamelCase identifier and expects your input to be a concatenation of prefixes of these parts, in the correct order, but parts may be omitted. Though the latest version goes further and also detects flipped cha

I'd also happily accept '-' to mean 'minus' when separated by spaces and be part of an identifier if not. You'd probably not want to space-separate a unary minus, so identifiers could not start with a hyphen, b

The funny thing is that GPS satellites operate in the context of special relativity, where events can occur in reverse order depending on the observer's velocity, so the whole notion of an "overall outcome" is pointless...

The stack contains states, not symbols. A shifted state encodes the shifted terminal PLUS the information what nonterminals that terminal can be part of (in LR(1), each of those nonterminals is augmented with its accepted follow-set). Reall

I was referring specifically to an LR(1) bottom-up parser, but I was confused how the stack looks like (all this was some time ago). The parser might indeed encounter an identifier without knowing whether it is part of an expression. Howeve

by moring 4y ago
I can't speak about common experience, only my own, but that tells me that an LR(1) can tell which high-level construct it is trying to parse -- this is encoded in the states deeper down in the parse stack, and therefore depends on inf

Just to point out: You can still do this (with any processor that has a zero-register, otherwise you'd still have to "burn" a register and you could just use a real global pointer). This technique isn't made impossible b

My guess would be: using CSS to place the malicious site's input files exactly where the framed site's input fields are, but "on top" (on the z axis), so the user actually inputs data into the malicious site.

> Those tools are supposed to act locale specific. Another response mentioned decimal points. In a locale that uses a decimal comma, how does (for example) grep whether an ASCII 46 symbol is a decimal point or full-stop?

The fact that this trick exists reveals a deeper problem with the specification of how tools like sort or grep should behave: If they are supposed to act locale-specific, then this "trick" simply leads to wrong results and should
