I'm going to plug my dispswitch program ( https://github.com/tom-seddon/dispswitch - Windows only. You run it from a hotkey manager such as AutoHotKey). It does a better job of preserving monitor-relative size and

With Visual Studio 2015 update 3, and /W4, I get "warning C4706: assignment within conditional expression" for stuff like "if(a=5)", both in C and C++. (C4706: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/l

A NULL literal in c is always zero. The compiler generates code to produce the right address (which may not have all bits reset).

Tearing is a property of the output from the GPU. The data takes time to send, and the GPU can be directed to send different data halfway through the process (or the memory it's in the process of sending can be modified, etc.). The dis

There's an Electron/VIC20/2600/Oric emulator that does this too: https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK - looks authentically horrid and it's got that somewhat elusive 50Hz feel. (Not many 50Hz Electr

Yes, this seemed unlikely to me as well. If the pixel clock is fixed, there's no other signal to display other than the one you'd see on a CRT... maybe people use some hardware that has some kind of framerate conversion step that

After some experimentation, it turns out my problem was that I expected - ridiculous, I know - that it would copy image data in some form that's comprehensible to Gimp, Firefox and Thunderbird. So I now rather suspect that Photos is us

You can't copy and paste an image out of Photos, either. It's really quite ridiculous.

Indeed, and the clarification is valuable; an explosion while using your laptop in bed might actually be a serious matter.

No, in principle is exactly when it's a lot less trustworthy than the statically-typed one. Because in principle you could execute some code (untested; data-driven; "is_testing?function(x){return true;}:1.5"; etc.) that pas

No, they're not inherently repeated blocks of code. You can repeat bits of code if you like, but for many common cases you have options. 1. both cases have identical code: just fall through from one to the next case A: case B

That's for soft boiling, surely? Hard-boiled eggs are usually left in for longer. What I do for mine: put in cold water, place on medium heat until water begins to boil (~9 mins), deactivate hob and leave for 12 mins, rinse with cold w

I'm short-sighted, and I've long noticed this when standing somewhat far away from a mirror. If I'm close enough that I can easily see my reflection, but not so close that I can see that it's definitely me, I get the ill

I live in the UK too... it's not that unusual to buy unrefigerated eggs with a use-by date of a month hence. You can leave them out, then hard boil them on that date, and they'll keep in the fridge for at least another week. I&#x2

If fixed properly, it would open the door to non-string types - like, you could have a type that's entirely opaque to tcl, just a void * or whatever, accessed only through functions. This might even actually end up being a step up comp

Cheese is best after the expiration date, if it's 2+ of blue, unpasteurised and soft. I only buy cheese from the reduced shelves, when it's less than half price because its use by date is today - this gets me tasty cheese, and hel

Assuming you managed to accumulate enough items to fill a 64-bit counter, if you got 1 core of your super-fast PC to increment a 64-bit value for each one, it would take over 100 years to count them all. (Assuming you don't just decide

If the code for program #2 isn't enough to describe the desired behaviour, perhaps it isn't expressible in terms of standard C. Here's what "x86-64 clang 3.9.1" gives for foo with -O3: ( https://godbolt.or
