By way of example, you can't create a Mach task that isn't a BSD process as well: https://github.com/opensource-apple/xnu/blob/10.10/osfmk/ker...

I've always find having to type commands in very distracting - makes it harder for me to think through things. When there's some kind of command grammar, and few prompts, and you have to remember to press Return, it's like tr

Why is a caller pool required? You don't care who calls your contract, as I see it, nor how reliable they are in general - provided they call your contract at the right time, you're happy! Since the caller gets rewarded for maki

The comment here suggests why: http://osxr.org/glibc/source/ctype/ctype.h I'd considered a table-driven approach - I mean, perhaps it's a bit daft for isblank, but OK for some of the more random cat

Here's a CppCon 2015 presentation that I enjoyed, for whatever that's worth, giving an introductory overview of this sort of technology, with some examples. AFL is mentioned: Kostya Serebryany - Beyond Sanitizers - https:/&#

Bogus results is one thing; segmentation faults are another matter entirely! This is especially true for a ctype-type function. "isblank"? I can't even imagine what it would be doing internally for it to be possible to make i

Yes. The worst part of it is that compilers have the option to do something sensible when handling undefined behaviour. The standard even suggests doing that, describing one possible option as behaving "in a documented manner character

Don't forget that an RPC call can take longer to complete than a function call. Loose coupling doesn't imply that your program expects operations to routinely take 1ms to return results.

I took the "rich white people" term to refer to people instinctively unaware of their privileged position, to the extent that they don't see that things might be different for others. (For full rhetorical effect, to my mind,

Well, I hope you're not using Windows 8.1, because you don't get the option any more. Luckily, the default - 8pt Segoe UI on mine, I think? - looks decent even with ClearType off and antialiasing disabled.

I always quite liked the Windows 3.1 fonts. They were nicely put together - very crisp, and easy to read. Good use of the grid. None of the screen grabs show them at their best, though, because they've been scaled unevenly. Zoom in on

Suggest adding a reminder that when saying "urbit" as "herb it", you need to not say the "h". Unless you are actually supposed to say the h, of course. Perhaps it's the opposite of a silent letter.

My mother's 2015 BMW 320d has needed to go back to the garage at 6 months old to have its sunroof replaced. A BMW 320d isn't especially high end, it's true - but I imagine that (aside from the engine...) it consists of mostly

We have enough POSIX to go round, I think. No need for any more ;)

When doing this in your own libraries, be sure to document how to generate the struct tag name from the typedef name. (MS don't do this - but they're not consistent about it anyway.) Then when people see a typedef'd struct us

Tagless structs can't be forward-declared. (Obviously, this looks like a local struct, so there's possibly no need for forward declaration. But you might have a snippet to generate this sort of thing for you. Or maybe it's ju

It's not universal that cars ignore the pedals. On my car (14 years old...) cruise control is deactivated when you press the clutch or brake, and the car responds to the accelerator as normal, slowing down once you stop accelerating.

I've never done it with JS. It's not really a problem in C, though. If there's a lot of data, you're no better off with text; if there's not much, reading binary data isn't too bad. You've usually got othe

Though emoji is a young language, it already has great literature: http://www.emojidick.com/ EDIT: I tried to add something appropriate in emoji, but HN stripped most of it out.

I don't think it's fair to blame something like this on Javascript per se, but that doesn't mean it isn't fundamentally badly designed ;) However, people actually appear to have started to notice this, and the latest res

Plugs in hotel rooms probably aren't in the best shape anyway. This was in Las Vegas and the cheap- and flimsy-looking plug sockets just struck me as a funny counterpoint to the unhinged level of excess that was on display everywhere e

Here in the UK we don't dare use a German-style socket for anything heavier-duty than an electric toothbrush.

I don't feel safe plugging things in anywhere else. Those funny little plugs that don't say in the sockets - I hate them. Last time I went to America, the illusion of boundless wealth was rapidly shattered when I went to plug some

I wonder what the response would have been had it turned out Facebook were going to pay their employees less, because they'd be making more profit that way ;)

To be fair, great gas mileage is true for every manufacturer. It's inherent in the technology, and applies across the full range of engine sizes and configurations. I've driven my BMW 330d 35,000 miles and to my knowledge it'
