Ironically, this blog wasn't benchmarked either: 504 Gateway Time-out nginx/0.6.35 The main page works though.

If you're using bash as your shell, <TAB><TAB> should do the trick.

Hmm, Joyce's Finnegans Wake? You did say "probably back".

But you don't overwrite OSX's python, the new version is installed side-by-side. The installation also creates links to the new version into /usr/local/bin, so that it doesn't mess up the system's python. Never had any trouble with this.

I'm not seeing any C++ there, both lessons focus on C. Am I missing something?

> Yes, compared to today's scripting, languages, C++ is hard (but not impossible) to use. There are no soft, rounded edges to protect rash programmers who make incorrect assumptions. Basically, C++ makes us stop and really think about w

HP is working on memristors - http://www.hpl.hp.com/news/2008/apr-jun/engineering_memristo... . According to wikipedia they already created such a prototype - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor#Potential_application... .

Have you tried SGI screen? It's a bitmap font (ASCII-only), great for small sizes (if that's your cup of tea). http://imgur.com/9xJlN.png

Right, but what's the point of Unicode then? What it's supposed to be: "Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language." What it is: The above, plus

Is this supposed to be a modern version of "I'm sorry but if your name doesn't fit into 7-bit ASCII, you need a new name"?

Assuming one is using a Linux client (or possibly one of the BSD flavours), then yes. For other systems reverse tunnels may be the only viable solution - apart from the logout+scp. I haven't tried it, but this may work with rsync as well.

There's application virtualization like Sandboxie ( http://www.sandboxie.com/ ) or even Microsoft App-V ( http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/appv/default.mspx ).

Here's the historical list of machines using nonzero null pointers, from comp.lang.c FAQ: http://linuxdude.com/Steve_Sumit/C-faq/q5.17.html

But none of the things you mention were part of the requirement. Furthermore, I'd be interested to know how one checks for "bad pointers" and what exactly _you_ mean by that - just NULL, pointers to read-only memory/string literals, or some

I'm not convinced that NUL vs. C's "null character" is just a silly semantic argument. NUL is an ASCII abbreviation and the implementors probably wanted to avoid being tied to a particular character encoding - there is no mention of NUL in

They didn't, it's there from at least ANSI C89 (ISO C90): "A byte with all bits set to 0, called the null character, shall exist in the basic execution character set; it is used to terminate a character string literal."

That's the very definition of a C string - if it isn't \0 terminated, it's not a string. See section 4.1.1. of http://flash-gordon.me.uk/ansi.c.txt .

The area covers my whole country and then some. Although small compared to whole Earth, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't enjoy having the spill as a next-door neighbour.

'Whole' milk isn't only 3.25-3.5% fat, that's the processed one sold in stores. Milk directly from a cow can contain > 5% of fat (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk ), and the taste is quite different from the processed one.
