As much as I hate writing "getter" functions for referencing global variables, I would when I knew I didn't have the right address yet. Write them first to error out loudly, then when you have the actual addresses…
I wonder how much of that email was letters from the University asking for money?
In the United States, does <area code> 555-1212 not work anymore? It certainly seems to: https://www.businessinsider.com/555-phone-number-tv-movies-t... https://www.nationalnanpa.com/number_resource_info/555_numbe...
His plane has landed in Munich, ~10:20PM PST.
Some languages, like Ada, Java, and C# have some parts of their standards available. Notably missing are any for C++ (14882) or C (9899).
LLVM has quite a number of people who have "review after commit" privilege. These are people who are trusted to know the difference between changes needing review and those that don't. As a result, people can fix typos,…
Two points: The notion that compilers that encounter undefined behavior are allowed to generate any code they want is a new interpretation, for some value of "new". I can't remember the first time I encountered such an…
I'm not sure what Thomas was referring to. What does "create their own declaring code" mean? Did they do some kind of white room implementation where they typed in the contents of a javadoc web site? Did they modify the…
From my understanding, a Blue Box doesn't evade wiretaps, but allows one to make long distance calls for free.
What do you mean by saying that democrats took over the post office? I assume you mean the USPS? The postmaster general was appointed by Trump. The senate until just last week had a Republican majority. Exactly how did…
And what makes it worse is that particular part of SV is a public transit black hole. When I worked at Apple, they did a great job of providing their own commute-time transit options. However, if you needed to travel to…

If they can't keep track, they shouldn't be granting articles of incorporation to non-citizens.
Calculating transfer rates based on time-stamps is ridiculous. At any point from source to destination, the individual files making up the emails could have been aggregated, transferred, and then disaggregated,…
Many years ago, I was in a group at Apple that interviewed Massalin. It was decided not to hire, as, while brilliant, there would be a net drop in productivity, as we would all spend too much time discussing the latest…
I'm a mediocre woodworker, but it seems to me cutting the dominoes on a table saw would be faster than laser cutting. Setup a sled with a stop of the proper width to create strips. The strips could be run through using…
Don't forget the clipboard.
This brings to mind an expression I wanted to have put on a T-shirt around 1997: On the front: The more I use Java On the back: The more I love Smalltalk This was while I was in the middle of writing a compiler…
Another problem is that it makes the assumption that an int is 32 bits. The C89 standard certainly doesn't promise that.
Am I the only one who wanted to try all of the different access methods to see what would happen? I didn't even know there was such a thing as a gopher portal.
Do not use string, index cards, and multiple CS PhD students holding the cards to illustrate how garbage collectors work, particularly if most (all?) of the people in the groups haven't written a garbage collector.…
Anyone remember when we liked to proclaim how we had freedom in this country by using the example that we didn't require "travel papers" for internal travel?
A coworker and I had a discussion with another coworker when this scandal broke. We couldn't convince him that he was wrong when he said there is no way car software could "cheat" like that. Even after we came up with…
That "integrity" commission was largely tasked with voter fraud, not overall integrity. See which states are doing the most egregious voter-list purging (i.e. using first name, last name comparison to determine if two…
Both IBM and Oracle make their own hardware. How does that factor in given the typical margins for "server-class" hardware?
