But one‘s personal time is worth much more than ten dollars. It a more efficient use of this time to solve a problem once instead of solving it on each platform separately.

Yes. This was posted after I wrote mine. I am a bit surprised that the median is so high. I would have expected a bigger difference, i.e. a few high value outliers pulling the median up further up.

Inserting NOPs is a waste of code space and execution resources though. If resources are not too tight, this is fine. We used gcc on a MIPS M4K in a communication chip. We had a lot of existing C code and were short on ROM and on CPU cycles

I don't think that video the game price is going to change for me. I have a large backlog of yet-to-be-played games from bundles, sales, etc. I usually buy games below $20, many below $10. If it takes the AAA title a few years to get t

Last time I checked Zathura did not support annotations. This is too bad. It would be a nice program otherwise for reading. I need annotations though.

How is it the WHO's business to set rules? They overestimate their power and importance. They have no democratic legitimization. Rules for ending lockdown will be set by local governments. The WHO might be heard as advisor but not more

Compared to 15 years ago I think Explorer is much better now, it could be even called usable. Nevertheless there are alternatives. One liked by many are Norton Commander alike file managers like Total Commander or even Far. I am not too muc

Indeed -20F to -40F is very cold. I think this would be the more impressive headline. Over here we do not go much below 0F, maybe -10F, so -40F is difficult to imagine. About the south: I used to stay for a while in Austin, TX. During winte

Mea culpa. I just read the heading and remembered the old times when they told us that Lycos finds everything. The author only briefly mentions Usenet. That was great fun at the time though.

Lycos and Yahoo are still around. The book really does not have them?
