Expected in October along with a new iPad Pro and iMac. It's been some time since they launched any new Macs at an iPhone event.

Good customer service lesson here: Apple should've offered either a refund or to mail him the Blu-rays of the movies. I imagine this is a rare enough scenario they can easily afford for that to be their default response to such a suppo

Yeah, the burden is on the buyer not to purchase stolen goods. The manufacturer is certainly under no obligation to support them. In many states even unknowing possession of stolen goods is a crime, so many of the "users" here are

"As before, values stored on the stack are scanned conservatively" Why would values on the stack be garbage-collected at all? Do they mean scanning the stack for live references?

That requires including the header. It's probably included in one of the other headers you included, but that's not required by the standard.

Allegedly, the quality of STL <regex> implementations leaves much to be desired.

The NTSB report says that it was the former, they were available but the captain had not configured the software settings to receive the hourly reports. (Obviously, and hindsight is 20-20, hourly should've been the default).

It's virtually impossible to win a libel case against a news media organization in the US. If you're a "public figure" (and if more than one media org ran a story about some event involving you, the court will likely fin

Does it compile the Linux kernel? ;)

by smitherfield 9y ago
No it doesn't, which is one of the major advantages it has over the C version; you have to do an explicit cast when the args are different types (almost always a potential source of subtle bugs). Or what edflsafoiewq said: https:&#x2F

That one-liner I posted works with both constant and non-constant expressions (and in fact is more likely to be evaluated at compile-time than the macro), is type-safe, and has no side effects assuming both arguments are arithmetic types or

The owner was just arrested as well,[1] and I'd bet that more will follow. My guess is the director of operations will get a plea deal in exchange for testifying against the others. [1] http://www.kansascity.com/news&#x

With notable exceptions (e.g. Therac-25, or self-driving cars) most of us have the luxury of working in spaces where mistakes may be annoying or costly, but not deadly.

>However, OEM computer manufacturers are a whole different story altogether. This is where AMD might get hurt by GPP. You see, GPP doesn't only apply to AIB manufacturers, it also applies to OEMs such as Dell, Apple, Lenovo or HP.

And before someone says "hyperinflation," you could also store world GDP in nano-Zimbabwean dollars (with 1 USD = 6.69e11 ZWL).

Rational arithmetic is not a good choice for money, since applications that deal with money probably involve user input and so can be trivially DOS-ed. Money should use decimal arithmetic, like COBOL. If it's good enough for banks, it&
