My least favourite “feature” of iOS now is shake-to-undo. I’ve never triggered it intentionally. It’s too weird of a thing to remember when I actually want to do it. It would also feel ridiculous even if I remembered it. The only times I tr

It’s a legal requirement, where I am. I just know of several cases where that wasn’t done. And in the case of that Flickr account I do wonder whether the author stopped the cyclists to ask, where I’d guess he would often maybe not be able t

Yes, but that still leaves the problem, which shouldn’t exist in the first place (edit: and on Windows doesn’t).

That’s the first time I see “selfie” used in that sense. Even descriptively, I don’t think the word means that.

Whether it's worth to look around, instead of looking at an iPhone, may depend on the city. In my experience, Gdańsk, London, Tallinn and Edinburgh are examples of places where it's nice to walk and look around. Warsaw on the othe

Do photographers posting such photos ask people in the photos for permission? I sometimes take such photos, but I don't post them, unless there are many people in them (as opposed to just 1-3), but that means I don't post a lot of

I can see how it may be unlikely for a person posing for Instagram photos to be a person enjoying spending time in the woods. However I don't see why it would be unlikely for a person enjoying spending time in the woods to pose for pho

Example program: #include <stdlib.h> int main() { for (size_t i = 0; i < 4096*4096; i++) { void* p = malloc(i * 4096); free(p); } } Running strace on it gives me a whole spam of logs like: mmap(NULL, 1

That depends on the specific implementation. glibc does unmap memory[1]. Not in every free() call, but still. There are also implementations which unmap in every free(), which are used to quickly detect bugs. Honestly, I wouldn't want

In my case, I used to want to be in a relationship, but with age the prospect lost all appeal, and people ceased being interesting to me in that way at all. I never get the thoughts "oh, this person is really nice, I wonder whether I s

Does iOS use different libc dynamic libraries for applications compiled with different SDKs? I'm not an iOS developer, so I don't know, but I would assume there is only one libsystem_c.dylib [1] on iOS. [1]: Or even 0, as in Big

That's true for memory which has been unmapped from the process (as long as something else isn't mapped to the same virtual address range). But different implementations of C malloc()+calloc()+free() don't necessarily unmap m

I suspect by "liberal arts" you meant humanities and social sciences. Curiously, the term "liberal arts" encompasses natural sciences and mathematics as well. I wouldn't go quite as far as to say they're bullsh

Or we can acknowledge that and aim at restraint, stopping ourselves whenever we catch ourselves doing it, recognising that it's a bug in our software. I've spent most of my life reading philosophy. I've been clean for several

Do you mean "C++ in Constrained Environments"? Honestly, to me it feels very abstract and hand-wavy, lacking demonstration of a real-world problem being solved. It also looks like the same talk Stroustrup's been giving for th

That's a broader theme. Watching TV is considered more childish than reading a book, even though TV content requires a lot more kinds of creative work in order to exist. The reason is that usually when the medium is richer, it demands

I have a favourite restaurant I go to regularly, alone. The waiters and cooks there know me, as I've been going there for years now. I also have a fairly stable taste, so for some time I've been seeing and overhearing them making

I’ve had very limited contact with Perl, but for scripting purposes it does seem like the best option, so I intend to sit down to it and learn it better. It looks like a great next step after sed and awk (perl -pe). I love the ability to wr

I'm not a LoTR fan[1], but I would agree about the writing. Some of the dialogues are complete joke. The entire beginning with Galadriel, her brother and her bullies sounds as if it was written by a 6yo, wrt logic and poor attempts at

Ok, it seems I'm just triggering a performance issue, which eventually causes a timeout: "operation killed by thread-priority-watchdog after 19 seconds". (I'm only seeing the straight lines I made.)
