The only reason they can’t make a “regular” law is because they made a law spelling out the process. Their power is restricted because they passed a law in the past saying it was restricted. As the only body capable of updating the text of

Have you ever seen a muscle car in the snow? A big engine in a car is practical for nothing except having fun. That’s why my car has 300hp and my next will as well. But I don’t pretend I’m saving the environment or that it’s practical.

The OS implements brk under the hood with "swiss cheese virtual memory" so you don't get any real optimizations here. On AMD64 paging is mandatory. It does have a cost but the MMU hardware accelerates this to make it mostly

While you can build it that way it is not at all a good way to do it. You lose all the benefits of paging when handling fragmentation - you basically will never be able to shrink the data segment on most practical programs - and therefor

> Congress can't make a law overriding the Supreme Court Indeed they can, the Supreme court merely interprets the law. If congress decides to change the law then the Supreme Court's interpretation is moot. These days changing

brk does grow linearly (a holdover from the days of segmentation). But malloc may well allocate chunks of virtual memory for large allocations. Windows doesn't have a brk equivalent and the underlying heap is fully implemented via Vi

Could you educate me on how this would be achieved?

This may not apply to your case but a lot of these conference immigration issues come from getting paid to speak. Depending on how you phrase it the inspector may treat it as “work” which is a big no-no.

It’s not possible to prove a negative. Do you want a quote from Tim Cook?

Not many people I know drive - simply to avoid the aggravation. GO service is amazing if you are on the Lakeshore line, and pretty good on others as well. But property prices are much higher close to stations.

Vancouver is just a smaller city. Your instincts didn't work well for you when picking your current housing. Reasonable commute times are a huge factor in picking housing out here.

I was in a line at immigration in an airport when the fire alarm went off. Everyone pretended it wasn't happening. I remember thinking everyone in here is dead if its real - Imagine the stampede that would form.

I disagree with Hunter S. Thompson's portrayal. You'll have to forgive me for paraphrasing, "a political monster straight out of Grendel and a very dangerous enemy". Which I find extreme. But Thompson was great at gran

I recommend watching Frost/Nixon, or the contemporary interviews. Nixon was a human and not devil incarnate. Its important we understand that potential for Nixon's evils lies within all of us. In the grand scheme of tyrants he

Towns obliterated by fires just don't happen often enough that we need to make forests "no-go" areas. Even if one town per year were completely destroyed it wouldn't be sufficient justification because there are many su

Lack of soft skills can be managed around, albeit not as easily in this age of open plan offices. Andy Warhol was a self proclaimed asshole, but I still would have hired him for an art installation.

The lack of a concrete conclusion was unsatisfying but it does play to their larger point. Overall it was an interesting summary of reading during a period of history and I respect they attempt to make no conclusions of their own except &q

I think it mattered originally, when they were one of many. But once you are on the website the reliability of shipping, and simply the fact they already have my credit card is a major factor in repeat business. It was probably much more i

I've seen your posts frequently here and I think you make HN a better place. You provide a different perspective than many of us are used to hearing.

You probably don't have showdead enabled. Unlike other places bans come with an explanation - so I see them fairly often following flagged posts.

Well I think we're past being constructive, but don't you find it at all arrogant to demand people invest time researching your comments? There are thousands of comments made here every day. We're not peer reviewing article

If your only examples are 25+ years old then the question becomes why are there no contemporary examples for this supposedly common phenomena. Its not a good rhetorical tactic. Nor is insulting other participants in the conversation.

It’s incumbent on you to make your point with contemporary examples or heavily explain why old ones are needed (and even then it severely weakens the point). I too was extremely confused with your examples. Sure there should be charity in r

I find people need someone to blame for things. It makes the world seem more manageable. It’s not really a rational reaction to the situation.

I've seen it done. Sometimes justified sometimes not, but in no case was either party relentlessly hounded after the immediate incident.

In your case I think the solution is pretty clear. Try hanging out more with your colleagues. If you don’t enjoy it then consider it “work” and part of the job. You don’t have to stay the whole time or even talk too much. Just make an effor

Given the scale the only sane way to unwind it is to grandfather all sales before a certain date. Otherwise you’ll have masses of people forced out of their properties and chaos.

I expect they’re also getting higher demand for older models. I wanted to get an Xs but when I held the smallest model in my hand it was just too monstrously big. I want a phone not a portable TV. It’s the first time I didn’t buy the latest
