I had a bottle of red wine a few months ago that smelt very distinctively like 1980s Star Wars toys! (Perhaps there were other toys of the era that smelled the same, but after some initial difficulty in placing this slightly unwelcome, some

Attract mode is where a game cycles between front end, intro video, rolling gameplay demo, and so on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_video_game_terms#A (I expect what they had in mind was using it in shops,

Right, yes, sure, whatever. Since you've evidently got the experience that I apparently lack, you'll know that this point is irrelevant, since the topic at hand is Standard C, and not whatever some random implementation happens to

I worked on an Xbox title many years ago, when I was still a bit inexperienced, and one of the requirements was that it had to run the attract mode for a week without fucking up. The other guy working on it was even worse than me, so no p

The function called at program startup is named main, which this translation unit defines. No other may therefore define it. Binaries that don't run main are out of the scope of the standard, and so irrelevant to the discussion. Anyway

Mate, you share 50% of your genes with a fucking banana . I double dare you to tell me with a straight face that you never believed the official story that bananas aren't even sentient.

Droll. But wasn't context unawareness part of the problem too?

But typically you specifically "dish the dirt". "Dish" on its own is not a valid verb, at least not in the version of English I speak. I don't know why. (Interestingly, OS X's Dictionary app says that a British

You can get started, sort of, from the white paper: https://urbit.org/posts/ (TL;DR: "Urbit also invents a lot of alien technical jargon. We admit that this is annoying. Abstractly, it’s part of the clean-slate pr

No, it doesn't do anything like that - it just does word wrap. Comment Reflower: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=codebeas... (page says it works up to VS2015, but I've got it in VS2017 too - so

I gave up on proportional fonts after a while. That was about 15 years ago, though... I think using clang-format and Comment Reflower/Emacs M-q/etc. would solve most of the problems I had with creating code that looked sensible wh

These are reliably at least fairly good in the UK, too, along with cherry tomatoes (about the same size, but round). Plum tomatoes are a bit firmer and cherry tomatoes are a bit sweeter.

If it's the same, it's the same, so there's no reason to do one rather than the other. Why not just create a thread?

pthread_sigmask always operates on the current thread.

by to3m 9y ago
Interesting point about the stack size! As for the signal mask, I'm pretty sure you can just set that using pthreads, and it will apply to the current thread. This is certainly true for the pthreads thread name, which is as deeply as I

by to3m 9y ago
This is good advice and should never have attracted a downvote! I'm not actually sure that the C++ library does anything that pthreads doesn't - maybe std::lock, perhaps? - but it's more convenient to use (and it's not l

I do indent my code, but I very rarely insert syntactically irrelevant spaces. I don't mind if clang-format (etc.) puts them in for me, but I don't add them by pressing keys myself and I don't have a problem reading code that

Yes, if you were concerned about battery life, you'd typically not update until input or app state changes. As for building up to your own retained mode system: not really, at least not in my view. Whether you update at a constant rate
