What is, exactly, a "smile hand gesture"?

It's not about copyright in that nobody in the case mentioned the copyright doctrine.

I very seldom write prose or long texts. 90% of my time is spent juggling emails, Excel tables or presentations. My right hand is on the mouse, the left one close to Shift, Ctrl, etc.

Does it parse this, though? "Verne, Jules", "20,000 leagues under the sea"

Ehm... Sun keyboards with dedicated cut, copy and paste keys?

I think ctrl-x, ctrl-c, and ctrl-v should have never existed. So difficult to press, for such common operations! While we still have prominent keys for rarely used functions, such as capslock, insert, etc. I have fond memories of those Sun

It's not all black or white. While most mappings are dictated by meaning, some are instead were chosen for their position, eg. hjkl, or relative position, eg. ? is the reverse of / just because in the US layout they are on the

That's possible if you have one source for each executable. For slightly more complex projects don't you need at least an additional line? Something like App: main.o whatever.o ...

I know many will disagree, but I feel that all the worst syntax mistakes from C/C++ are there. It's uneasy to spot declarations: Point p {1,2} // declaration Point {1,2} // expression Semicolons are so

I don't think the right solution for feeling hostage of a proprietary OS is to switch to another proprietary OS.

I'd rather put the final nul at d+l-1 than at d+l, so that l can be the size of d, not "one more than the size of d": strncpyz(buf,src,sizeof buf);

Is it safe to tear off a paper tape with WARRANTY VOID IF BROKEN written on it?

Interesting. Does anybody have any example where a promotion to bishop would be preferable to Queen?

I like the idea, although many choices are arguable. For example, having to introduce mandatory/prohibited white space around binary/postfix operators (like "&") completely spoils the goal of having a more rational s

> Isn't the obvious solution to script your language's default build system in precisely the language you're trying to build from? Please no. I don't want to handle filename and other string manipulation in C.

Limitless? The GPL 3 is quite specific about what you can and can't do. This opens up a new question: so this encoding will never be allowed in proprietary software?

It depends what the goal is. If i's to display moves to humans, then this approach seems correct (not sure if optimal). It doesn't require implementing a full chess engine just to code/decode a move, as others have suggested.

But the goal of the study is expressly to highlight precision issues. Using such techniques wouldn't help to make them surface.

I think sudo done well could be exactly what you're advocating for: configure all possible commands that a user should be allowed to execute as superuser for ordinary and extra-ordinary maintenance and prohibit everything else (especia

I remember the first time I read about this technique used by the Linux kernel to find the \0 at the end of the string. If course XORing with another char will detect that char instead. But before you run to implement it as a drop-in replac

The bottom line is: of you want performance in Java, code if it was C!

Thanks for your comment. You seem to assume that they capture CO2 from atmosphere and somehow inject it into the fuel (gas) that they sell. It's not what TFA talks about, though. It's exactly the opposite: > Carbon dioxide is s

Sorry, I don't get the point about Equinor. It (a) extracts gas and (b) captures CO2. The reasoning goes like, since using the gas obtained by (a) releases much more CO2 than how much is saved by (b), then it's not worth doing (b)

During my first year into Engineering Management I would have subscribed nearly 100% of what you said. Then I began getting good at this job. I learned to delegate and was rewarded with empowered direct reports. I earned the trust of my bos

Are the maths correct? 15% × 1000 × 10k is not 150k.

Quite interesting. One point that's not made, though, is that many people choose not to check their baggage simply because the likelihood of having it lost is unacceptably high (2% on average for international flights). Maybe we should

I vehemently disagree. The major source of noise in my area is people. Not saying my experience extends to every city, but even blaming traffic is a naive generalization.

by teo_zero 3y ago
I think it does. The loudest American city, Boston, has just 12% of the population exposed to noise levels >65 dB, while Europe's top ten is in the range from 29% to 59%. You can of course disagree that this is the right metric to m

This is a clear example of "catch 22" situation: a) we won't implement this change because it's incompatible with the design; b) the design was set 10 years ago and never changed since then, so there's no reason to
