I have a 40-character master password to backup all my other passwords. I've never felt the need to write it down.

> I find "cat full | ..." keeps the left-to-right flow of a command nicely Sorry, I don't buy it. You don't read files like this: cat file | less And you don't compile C programs like this: cat hello.c

Paying a third party to remember passkeys for you should not be the solution, though.

The first command of the first example is a cat|grep... How can I assume the author is an experienced script writer? In any case, ZX replaces some of the shell's usual quirks with its own different quirks: you have to manually expand *

So, accepting the spurious comma at the end of the list and not requiring commas when there's a newline can coexist. I would say they are tho orthogonal properties. You can support the latter without opposing the former.

The glorious 6502 had a flag to perform all arithmetic operations in BCD.

In Workbench 2.0+ it was slanted 45° with the two sides at 30° and 60°, it was red with a hint of 3D (light at the top-right, dark bottom-left) and was beautiful! It stood out on whatever background.

If you "just" want bounds checking, then you don't need a pointer to array. GCC is able to detect the out-of-bound even in this case: int get(int n, char buf[n]) { return buf[10]; } It's if you want to use

You don't need new runtime operators to retrieve the length. Once you remove the decay issue, you can use sizeof: sizeof(a) sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0])

Interesting, but how do you define a function that returns an array? Maybe: T f(args)[..] { body } This would be hard to parse. Then what about: T[..] f(args) { body } But if adding [] after T is allowed in function declaratio

Yes, my fault. In fact random numbers between 0 and 255 don't have the property that number-of-set-bits have uniform distribution.

by teo_zero 3y ago
Imagine you have to guess a random number between 0 and 255, i.e. you have to guess 8 bits. You already know that it's less than 128 so the most significant bit is 0. Can you derive any knowledge about whether the second bit is 0 or 1?

I think the GP was making a point about the dimension of the business. Even if it's theft, stealing a mere watt should be negligible.

Of course you're right, I had misread the third question.

The LED should be on when the function is on. The function is whatever the icon depicts. If the icon is a loudspeaker, then the LED should be on when the audio is on; but if the icon is a microphone with a bar across it, the LED should

I strongly disagree. In a conferencing app, for example, "mute" could mean switch audio off, or just the mic, or both. And consider that a word, even "mute", might not have an equivalent in every languages.

The icon should depict a muted speaker and shouldn't change. Then add a LED-like dot to show when the function is active.

Actually it's 192 bits, not 196. To beat it you must encode each piece with a different number of bits. E.g. Q c00 N c01 P c10 B c110 R c1110 K c1111 where c is 0 for white or 1 for black. Since there are 2xK, 2xQ, 4xB

All C lexers are greedy, i.e. they extend the current token as far as they can. So "0..9" is split as a token "0." (numeric literal) followed by token "." (operator) followed by token "9" (numeric lit
