The distinction is not physical vs (entirely) digital. If you buy games at GOG, you get entirely non-physical products, but you own and control those bits. You can download the game and keep playing it as long as you…
> https://www.build.aau.dk/report-from-aau-warns-danish-homes-... The Danish Building code has requirements for retaining heat in the house, which is great in the cold winters, but devastating in the heart of modern…
It's not that I don't agree, but lawyers will then ask you to define "buy" in such a way that it is distinguishable from a perpetual lease with a cancellation clause _to buyers_, without also disallowing a lot of…
Just because it's my windmill to tilt at: `[\s\S]` can be written shorter and more precisely as `[^]`.
Assigning to multiple variables in a single expression is fine and useful. Take ``` target[i++] = source1[j++] + source2[k++]; ``` That's idiomatic, it shows the intent to read and consume the value in a single…
The value of the variable is not hoisted by the Java compiler. (It's not that JVM, that only executes the byte code, what y doesn't have that kind of ambiguities.) The semantics of Java is not undefined on multiple…
... thus falling into the Pitt of failure, where every way out is just a little too far away.
Semantic major/minor version 0.15 means it's still in development. It's not supposed to be stable. Going from 0.14 to 0.15 allows breaking changes. Try making a similar change between version 5.0 and 6.0, with hundreds…
So "cooperative multitasking is not preemptive multitasking". The typical use of the word "asynchronous" means that the _language is single-threaded_ with cooperative multitasking (yield points) and event based, and…
Aks. "Every beef anyone has ever had with Nvidia in one outrage friendly article." If you want to hate on Nvidia, there'll be something for you in there. An entire section on 12vhpwr connectors, with no mention of…
JSON is a text format. A parser must recognize the text `2` as a valid production of the JSON number grammar. Converting that text to _any_ kind of numerical value is outside the scope of the specification. (At least…
Your irony detector may need calibration. Or mine does.
The JSON spec only defines the JSON text format. It doesn't say what the text means. There are obvious interpretations, but every program that reads or writes JSON can decide what it does with it. On the other hand, the…
So you're saying that "an ask" is "an order" or "a demand", rather than "a request". Why not use those words? I don't understand what "an ask" means. I don't know what the speaker intended with it, and I wouldn't know…
I'm personally convinced that the reason the conditional operator of called "the ternary operator" it's that the ANSI C Programming Language book contains the phrase "the ternary operator, ?:", and a lot of readers…
Agree, other than that I wouldn't use "2-arity". Maybe "2-ary", but that's just "binary" written confusingly. It works for "n-ary". I'd rather say that a binary operator _has_ an arity of 2 or talk about the arity _of_…
"Success" is to achieve the intended goal, without causing new problems that outweigh the benefit of reaching that goal. Reaching the goal is not a moral measurement, it is all about efficiency. If you don't reach the…
Many quick-sort implementations are deterministic, so will consistently have their worst case behavior on the same inputs again and again. The good ones try to do a little better than choosing the center element as…
That's not how it works. Maybe if I'm given two colors inside that range, I can say which is bluer and which is greener. Given just one color, I simply cannot say that it's green or blue, or even if it's more green than…
The word "development" can mean several things. I don't think "software development" sounds bad when grouped with a phrase like "urban development". It describes growing and tuning software for, well, working better,…
And I got it. When the algorithm sees a word that is already in the list, it discards the word in the list first. Then it adds the word again with the same probability as any other word. This ensures that only the last…
The way I'd describe it is: - You have a buffer. You initially try to fit every unique word on there. - If the buffer gets full, you know that you can't fit all the unique words in there. So you decide to keep only a…
NAND gates are enough to computer any boolean function. Being Turing complete requires some notion of state and state transition. However, a RAM machine where the program counter is memory mapped, can be Turing complete…
Pretty much. _Language_ is how we propagate meaning. Words are units of language, that can be used to build larger composite language constructs. (And words, _when written_, are themselves built from smaller syntactic…
When you read the post, it does sound slightly deranged, but if you check the links, they're not actually as bad as they sound. If everybody agrees, you won't get the kind of conflict about company choices that this is…
