OTOH, when I was using Munich's public transport daily, I always caught a cold once or twice per year. This never happened since I stopped using it regularly. And I know a few people who made the same experience.

Comparing {mark} to XML, it doesn't seem to support namespaces which makes the claim to be extensible somewhat dubious. How am I supposed to add custom objects without risking name clashes? Namespaces also make XML kind of fully typed

The problem is that the mainstream media are, for the most part, rationalizing an economic order that keeps poor countries poor. It's hard to deny that policies imposed by the IMF on third world countries play a role in ruining their a

Fully agree, Schneider Weisse is excellent. Other great Bavarian Weißbier breweries are Hopf and Unertl, but they're probably even harder to get outside of Bavaria.

Weihenstephaner is mostly known for their Weißbier which is OK. Their Helles tastes like shit, though, at least compared to other Bavarian breweries.

Interestingly, this hack has caused problems with gcc4 on s390: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/tree/include/libxml/has... . The comment claims it violates C's aliasing rules.

No, it uses the fixed-width LATIN1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding for compact strings. It wouldn't make much sense to use another variable-width encoding like UTF-8.

That's because ELF allows symbol interposition and PE (Portable Executable) doesn't have a comparable feature. Symbol interposition doesn't come without a price, though, and is often criticized: https://www.macieir

One thing to keep in mind is that the AfD has considerably moved to the right since the 2013 election. While the "old" AfD under Bernd Lucke clearly stayed within constitutional boundaries, the rise of unconstitutional opinions wi

First mistakes I found are on page 4. "the compiler "promotes" the smaller type to be the same size as the larger type before combining the values." Values smaller than int are always promoted to int. "Promotions do

A couple of years ago, I made the same exercise and, when benchmarking several real-world languages, I got similar results. On a slowish Intel CPU (from my memory): DFA-based decoder: ~400 MB/s Naive decoder with ASCII: ~1.2 GB&#

This affects many codebases. For example, looking up functions with `dlsym` triggers this warning which is probably one of the main reasons for the POSIX requirement. It's unfortunate that GCC doesn't allow to disable only this pa

Could you at least make it possible for websites to opt out of the AMP cache? Last time I checked, publishing an AMP page grants Google (and everyone else) an implicit license to incorporate your content on their own web properties. The AMP
