For those wondering, “symbols” refers to auxiliary debugging information for binaries: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/de... …

Yes, it mostly is a different problem. My point is that with regard to energy wastage we have hugely more important issues than unnecessary light output. And the switch from incandescent light bulbs t…

Only people with a morning chronotype. I'm more productive in the late afternoon and evening.

...in people aged 60 and over.

It’s dwarfed by waste heat though, which is an estimated ~70% of all energy produced.

Thanks, somehow I managed to miss that for Kiwix.

The generic way to remove a cyclic dependency is by Dependency Inversion (not to be confused with Dependency Injection), so that a mutual dependency A <–> B is transformed into the noncircul…

Is there something like Dash/Kiwix for Windows?

Here is the PDF version linked on the Wikipedia page: http://neglectedbooks.com/Straight_and_Crooked_Thinking.pdf …

There’s also quantity and complexity: For every fact, you can come up with a multitude of BS counter-claims (so it’s more likely that at least one of them is already out in the wild), and truths are u…

Well, nothing keeps you from still starting with ###, so you have two spare levels to go down to if needed (## and #). Alternatively, that’s where the “negative” levels would come in (i.e. the .# leve…

I always felt that the number of #s should increase with higher-level rather than with lower-level headings, for multiple reasons: - More #s mean a larger visual footprint, which would be more appropr…

It’s not always easy though to get a good idea of where people currently are on a potentially decades-long multidimensional learning curve. You need a back-and-forth dialog to home in on the right lev…

I swear by the Uni-Ball Jetstream (SXN pen, SXR refill) for its smoothness and great contrast (black color).

I think the bias is fundamentally human, it’s been a thing since ancient times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiognomy …

I misinterpreted the "2019, October 11, 00:16" to indicate when the following text was written.

To be precise, it's implementation-defined whether it's undefined behavior, prior to C11. You are right that in C11, if uintptr_t is used to store the xored value, behavior is defined.

You’re right of course, I had overlooked the header and misinterpreted the title to refer to the present rather than to the past.

That’s undefined behavior in C though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3928788

EDIT: never mind Should probably be (2019), as the bug has been fixed since (as noted at the bottom of TFA).

I didn’t downvote, but you demonstrated a very poor understanding of the big bang, and put forward equally ill-informed conclusions/suspicions based on that. It is not useful.

It should go RPN when holding the phone upside down. ;)

It would be great if there would be a way to interactively “expand” error messages on the command line, in the sense of progressive disclosure in GUIs. Meaning that you could for example have Help…

I largely agree with the general point, but in the SSH example the “Continue?” is too terse, because it’s not entirely evident what “continuing” will do in that situation. “Connect anyway?” would be m…

It makes a difference as soon as you want to specify a subrange by index.

That usage gets awkward though when you want to talk about the offset from one array index to another (and the array is 0-based). In actual (common) usage, the distinction between index and offset is …

Because with software you can’t generally predict the consequences, even more so as software tends to not be static, but evolves and starts to interact with more and more other software. Validate your…

Thanks. I checked, and it costs $15/year per additional 100 GB. Hence it reaches Dropbox’s $120 at 720 GB. Of course, you also get a managed NextBox instance for that price.

How much storage do you get for $27/year, and where? (just curious)
