Exactly, the 0 is a placeholder for the address of the format string (first argument for printf).
Currently they trust everything in fact. Why should I trust Digicert for example? When did I make that decission? What does 'trust' mean if the decission is made by others?
patents should require you to release a full reference implementation with full documentation under a free (BSD, MIT) license as soon as the patent runs out Why not as soon as the patent is granted?
What you say about the second person is true, but all the forms are understandable by all Spanish speakers and all of them are «correct». It is mostly a matter of style.
Thanks for posting Dijkstra answer. I had read it a lot of time ago and was going to post it myself. Even keeping in mind that it was written with tongue in cheek, Mr Dijkstra does sound like a bit of a jerk in this…
The problem with that one is that all the artists are technically apes too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape).
If it happens as you describe, then it is definitely kidnapping.
I am not from the UK and in fact I am not even a native English speaker and yet I had always assumed that the tone of El Reg was a parody. I think it is quite obvious.
That's a poor excuse for not using the correct terminology or the correct units.
The printing routine. Internally, none of them can store 0.3 in a floating point variable because it is impossible to do so in exponential notation with base 2 (which is what IEE 754 uses). Some languages may optionally…
Users do not want unobstrusive ads. They may be willing to put up with them, but that is not the same than wanting them. Nobody in his sane mind wants ads, unobstrusive or not.
As scott_s says, you could start looking at the papers presented in PACT in the last years (not all are about coherence, but there are a few almost every year). You should also look at ISCA and HPCA. In fact, you could…
Well, the title is not very factual nor honest. It is completely hyperbolic. The idea looks interesting (I have not yet read the actual paper), but calling it «The first new coherence mechanism in 30 years» is…
What is crazy is that “sharing an MP3 can cost thousands of dollars”, not any protocol.
"like the US trying to impose its poisonous, backwards copyright and intellectual rights laws on the rest of the Western English speaking countries" I wish it were only on the English speaking countries. The US is…
We should abandon base 10 and use base 16.
This is the most insightful comment that I have ever read in HackerNews.
I wonder how can he be violating any law with respect to distribution of copyrighted content when he is not distributing anything. He is just pointing to other sources doing the actual distribution (which may be legal).…
The version of the tools that I have installed (5.1.2alpha in Fedora) do support a -T option for parallel compression which I use regularly. However, it is true that that same option does not seem to work everywhere. At…
In my experience as a researcher, this competitiveness and haste to publish leads very frequently to lower quality in the research. For a researcher's career is often more profitable to quickly publish a half-baked…
> …but I'm sure that's mainly due to terrorism and security related reasons. It's mainly due to terrorism and security excuses, not real reasons.
I think the point that it was a she and not he is particularly important Why? I don't see why it should be relevant at all!
