Last line says: p.s. You will get paid. I just needed to filter out people who only do this for money.

I'm not sure that's the right thing, due to how time_t is (not) defined. First, it can be an integer or a floating number (although the latter is unlikely). Second, the size of time_t is not defined, so it could be 32-bit or 64-bit or somet

3. It doesn't obey the "remove at least one vowel from name" rule. Rename to Tiggr and you're all set (almost).

Was that a quote from the article? It now says "Researchers estimate the new model could shave almost 1,000 pounds off a car's weight currently taken up by conventional engine systems.". Still no additional explanation though.

I'll have to run some more tests, but I can't see how -delete would help in that case .

by nuxi 15y ago
That was already fixed with -print0 | xargs -0, but then this solution is dismissed with "The problem is that this is not a portable construct;...". The -delete isn't either, so this is a straw man argument, although it probably is the most

For worse, I concur. I still fire up my SGI boxes once in a while to remind myself things didn't use to/don't have to be as binary as they mostly are today (Linux vs BSD, iOS vs Android, Intel vs AMD etc.). That, and to run electropaint, of

That's basically two flavours of UNIX (Linux and BSD), but that's OK - others are unfortunately either dead or dying. The UNIX family tree ( http://www.levenez.com/unix ) has been shrinking so rapidly in the last few years, that the current

The -delete option is not available on all UNIX systems, as it's not part of the POSIX spec ( http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/utilities/fin... ). (Also, rant rant, I really don't understand why find was extended with -delete

For 6) itertools.groupby() helps a bit: import itertools passed, failed = (list(v) for k,v in itertools.groupby([49, 58, 76, 82, 88, 90], lambda x: x > 60))

I'm not a native English speaker (nor French), but other English dictionaries have "existing now or current" as one of the definitions for "actual": http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/actual?show=0&... http://oxforddictionarie

It's not just meat, it's food in general. Try for example growing your own tomatoes and compare the taste to the supermarket ones - light years of difference.

Upvoted - I agree on the first part. As for his incompetence, the worst thing that a company can do is "promote" someone to a position where one "can't do much damage". It's damaging for morale of employees who are competent and hard workin

CEO presumably spent five weeks doing something that was NOT his job, and was paid for it. I'm guessing the cost was substantial.

I've glanced at the 0mq sources a bit, and I'm curious about the error handling. For example, zmq::tcp_socket_t::read() handles following errnos from recv(): EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK, EINTR, ECONNRESET and EPIPE. If recv() fails for any other re
