What I keep hoping for is the adoption of C++ const-correctness rules for pointers-to-pointers(and further). They really are safe, and allow for more safely handling multidimensional arrays in a correct and C idiomatic way.

The misusing the API did not cause anything. What it did is surface some unexpected behavior: "But calling Format on a time object, for some format strings (such as time.RFC3339), needs to load this information, so will do so implicit

No, the argument is that it won't work because it doesn't have a _body_.

You're not. The FFT is just a particular way of implementing the DFT.

I read this, and go "yes, yes, yes", and then "NO!". Shifts and ors really is the sanest and simplest way to express "assembling an integer from bytes". Masking is _a_ way to deal with the current C spec which

In theory, this should be okay under "Nominative Fair Use": You're only using the name to refer to the actual thing. People are more justifiably sued when their name for their product can be confused as being possibly asso

Once done with whatever task requires it, do you then immediately revoke access by that key? Having two keys with the same access means you still have a key on that questionable system that can do the same things, and exactly the same secur

And got results completely consistent with a fair RNG (even though it uses a not-so-good rand()). Yawn.

The form of this argument is "you can ignore the argument they make because they're biased, and you can tell they're biased by the argument they make." That's clearly not a valid inference.

As another comment notes this is more due to EDID and multisync monitors: hardware and protocol improvements in consumer electronics. X was actually okay in 1996 on the proprietary Unixes with their proprietary graphics card and proprietary

X was 1984. X11 was 1987. Twelve years later in 1999, it worked just fine.

It's convoluted. Ninth Circuit courts held APIs weren't copyrightable. The Federal Circuit (which only had jurisdiction because of the thrown out patent claims) held that they were copyrightable. The majority of SCOTUS here expli

Eh. "Death of the Author" is a reaction to the text not being dispositive as to what the author meant. It's deciding you don't care what the author meant, no longer considering it a problem that the text doesn't r

Git has always supported large files! What it does not do is treat them specially, with different semantics, which is what git-lfs, git-annex, etc, do.

It's not part of any standard, so they'd need to pick what to implement. They docs say they're modeling it on postgres's, which is a perfectly reasonable extension. https://www.sqlite.org/lang_returning.

Why would it? It does if and only if that's what you reduce extremism down to. There's enough there to assert a quadratic relationship (in a given regime) with _their particular phenomenological measurement_ of extremism. In the p
