While it does include many sizes, I don't think 80-bit is included. The sizes mentioned in IEEE754-2008 are 16, 32, 64 and then multiples of 32 that are greater or equal to 128 (96 is not included).

I remember getting units in one screen, moving the mouse pointer onto a target location in the map, and then doing a series of Tab-M-Clicks: Tab selects the next unit, M selects the Move command, and Click on the target.

My pressure sometimes would drop just after the donation while still in the seat, until I figured out it was due to dehydration; the one thing that solves the issue completely for me is drinking plenty of water the day before.

I don't think the police are there to intervene in petty squabbles like lunch theft, annoying as lunch theft may be. Getting the lunch owner fired, on the other hand, is a serious matter, and firing the thief and HR because of them doi

In that case it's closer to 50 bytes I think. (Average wrong line length is 105k, as first line is 210k and last line is 0k, so number of lines is 450M / 105k (about 4300), so lines would be 210 / 4.3 = about 50 bytes.)

How is the std string version taking over 450 MB for two copies (original and split into lines) of a 210 kB file?

What this chart shows to me is that GDP is not a good measure of people's wealth. For example Luxembourg is shown as an outlier because it has a very high GDP but not a similarly high satisfaction score. And I think that is because the

If you want to write a linked list like you do in C, just use pointers instead of references, mark your code as unsafe, and basically you have it. I'm not suggesting this is a good idea, but I'm tired of the linked list argument w

My mental model of Rust's current overflow behaviour is that "integer overflow is wrapping overflow, but during development it also panics to push me to use explicit wrapping in the code." I'm failing to see how that can

Or if this type is used a lot, you can wrap the 16-bit integer inside its own type and overload addition and/or other operators. struct Angle(i16); impl Add for Angle { type Output = Angle; fn add(self, rhs: A

To increase the frequency, you also have to increase the voltage so that the transistors charge faster, otherwise they won't be able to switch in the shorter time.

The DUP as king makers in the UK has nothing to do with STV; in fact it is an example of king makers with no STV. There are no STV or multi rep constituencies in British general elections. (In Northern Ireland, STV is used for local elect

I've never seen Python or Lua community do that so far. Back then, wasn't it readable Python versus unreadable Perl?

IIRC women have to start before men for their records to hold, as otherwise women could gain from the faster men's slip stream. Of course, there are still pace makers so even men can take advantage of that, and men can run behind each

Of course you're right. I just pointed out that the Tories and Labour did worse on the issue and suffered less for it. But then, the Lib Dems did the pledge and weren't able to stand up for it, so they did deserve some punishment.

And it is a bit ironic that New Labour introduced tuition fees, the Tories were the coalition partner that wanted to increase them, but it is the Lib Dems who caught all the flak.

delta produces \Delta instead of \delta, so there is no way to get \delta. Is there a way to produce <= and >=? lt and gt become < and >, which is not so necessary seeing that < and > work fine, but lte and gte do not beco

If police officers are liable to pay the victims, would anyone want to be a police officer, given their relatively low wages? In order to make them liable for such things, you would have to increase their wages a lot . I think one of the p

Looking it another way: giving a quote like that which needs to be examined in full to make sure he does not support Trump, and which can so easily be interpreted to support Trump, is quite naive. When you're giving quotes you have to

A surcharge for obese people because they are obese would be punishing people for their life style. A surcharge based on weight no matter what or why is not nearly as intrusive, and is only making you pay for the resources you use.

This is exactly why I was careful enough to include the phrase "in the usual case", because it would not be too hard to doctor a situation where the compiler will not optimize the Option away, either because the compiler is not pe
