I've heard of it. I don't think having over-authoritarian discuplinarianism is ideal. It's probably a backlash to schools not having enough funding or resources to deal with the assaults and the fighting, so they do the exact

I only said it 3 times. I don't mean to say that everything should be authoritarian. But to maintain a good school for the students who go to a non-authoritarian school, there still needs to be some degree of punishment, or expulsions.

I think you're giving them a little too much credit. Plenty of disruptive kids have a perfectly fine home life, have an iPhone, get expensive toys or technology bought for them. A lot of them are just jerks who were never punished by t

Do you have a picture of what that looked like? I'm curious. When I search for it, I can only find pictures of normal Windows XP and older versions of Windows. I can only imagine it looking like Windows 95 again.

There's this great series of lectures I watched during my intro to statistics and probability course: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQfiOKXnQpw_l0rbiV_QW8lwl... It goes over Bayes' Theorem early on, which I a

I guess that makes sense. RISC-V assembly doesn't actually seem that difficult to hand write, especially given that pseudo-instructions exist. I don't see why you wouldn't just write in C, though, aside from a few functions w

Why is that different from "abusing a preprocessor"? Because it's built into the assembler?

In languages without this feature (most of them), you sometimes see long blocks get labeled at the end anyway. On the other hand, you could argue that if your block is long enough it doesn't fit on the screen, then it should be its own

That corroborates what I've read. The DEC PDP-11 assembler used the @ symbol for dereferences of registers ("@Rn" or "(Rn)" dereferenced a register, for example). However, in Unix, the terminal convention was to use

I wasn't around for it, but didn't C grow fast during the 70s and 80s? And didn't Java and JavaScript also spread pretty fast? Of course, Java was explicitly promoted and advertised by Sun, and JavaScript played off of Java&#

Though LLVM seems like it best maps the semantics of a language like C++, there's a fairly diverse lot of languages with LLVM backends, including Common Lisp, Haskell, Scala, and Swift.

It seems like the main problem, for implementers of languages significantly different to C and C-like languages, is that LLVM doesn't offer direct access to hardware registers or the stack, and it has built-in calling conventions. (Alt

Often when I can't think of a solution, and my attempts have failed, I inadvertently stop paying attention and just start messing around with words on the screen in the IDE. Pen and paper helps me focus on the problem. Also, when think

Yeah, old C compilers would only look at the first 6 characters of a name, and the rest were insignificant. That's how you get nanrs like "strcpy" and "malloc" instead of something like "string_copy" or &q

A friend of mine was taught True Basic for a middle school programming class, and he really disliked that class (middle school is grades 6-8, for students about 11-14 years old). The next year they switched to teaching Python, and that frus

We need to keep having biological children, or else there will be as many retired elderly as there are workers (though no country has gotten that bad yet). That's bad for the economy. South Korea is going to be the first to go through

What about ligatures that make ASCII characters display differently when in proximity, but still use the same number of columns? For example, when == is written, connect them to be a 2 column wide = instead. Or when === is written, display

The fact that they haven't rewritten glibc's string parsing wouldn't make their criticism wrong. If all of glibc had been written in assembly for every single target triplet, one wouldn't be wrong to point out that there

But, to be fair, beer seems more filling than Coke. My mom has told me how, when she was in college, sometimes she'd just drink a beer instead of having a meal, because it's filling enough and has enough calories to substitute a m

No. They want iOS to be open source, because they want to be able to modify a few bits of source code and use their modified OS for their personal use, and then keep pulling updates from upstream forever after that. Like a small fork.

It's more like if you'd written "if you're going to be that brazen about killing someone, at least go to the effort of hiding the body, but ideally don't kill someone at all." It would be a bit questionable to

According to the GPL FAQ, there aren't different license requirements for static linking vs dynamic linking. (The reason you can link glibc, stdc++, etc., which are licensed under the GPL, is because they carve out a "GCC runtime
