"The real WTF (that you, me, and the OP probably agree on) is the California initiative process, which forces/allows citizens to act as legislators." I definitely agree with this (-: You're right, in that a reasonably…
While your points may be entirely true, in my opinion they are no excuse for failing to make clear the retroactivity of the proposition.
Just a correction: the code is actually perfectly portable. The integer constant 0 is the canonical definition of the null pointer by definition in the standard (See Section 6.2.2.3 "Pointers" in C89). The null pointer…
Just a note - all radiation levels reported from around the plant are measured in milli(m)/micro(u)-sieverts(Sv) per hour. For comparison, the worldwide average background radiation level is approx. 0.274 uSv/h, and the…
Of course this isn't a feature of the language -- but most implementations (e.g. gcc) technically allow this, if you really, really know what you're doing. For example:…
