The OP, or the Abseil docs?

The delayed-choice quantum eraser wasn’t carried out experimentally until 1999, so I think it’s a bit misleading to say this is what makes the double-slit experiment (first carried…

> the usual garbage undergrad textbooks Out of interest, please could you give some examples of textbooks you consider garbage, and some you consider not to be (undergrad or otherw…

Fair enough: I was reading the original comment as referring to (thermal) noise intrinsic to the amplifier design itself (as opposed to noise due to imperfections in DC supply or d…

I see, so you want to band-limit the noise, and are willing to accept potentially raising the noise floor in the band-limited range, the idea being that if the original noise is su…

Off-topic, but can an RC circuit really reduce noise? I can see how it would reduce distortion (which is not the same as noise), but adding passives is surely going to increase the…

The paper that introduced the implicit lifetime mechanism suggests that std::launder is not required: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p05... .

If the type is an implicit-lifetime type, then you can legally create an unsigned char array, and then reinterpret_cast a pointer to that to a pointer to the type. See https://eel.…

> Yes -- in set theory sets can contain themselves Which set theory? ZFC doesn't permit this. Non-well-founded set theories are so non-standard that I think it's wrong, or at least…

Has anyone looked at using greywater for evaporative cooling? I couldn’t find much after a quick Google, aside from small scale domestic usage.

Given the “rightsholders” have no rights over OpenTTD (only the assets are copyrightable, and OpenTTD has had its own set of open-source assets for the past 15 years), I can’t agre…

Please could you elaborate?

It’s not really margin since there’s no leverage: the potential loss associated with the bet has to be deposited, so it’s fully collateralised.

* A set that isn't open isn't (necessarily) closed. * A set that is open can also be closed.

> Good publishing costs money Good faith question: aside from hosting costs, what costs are there, given the reviewers are unpaid?

Right, but if you fill in the shorthand there’s no reason to think it’s circular; it’s just a normal definition at that point, albeit one without much motivation.

Do you mean specifically as consumer products? There are loads of 10GbE switches from Cisco/Juniper/Arista/et al.

In its defence, the headline says "file operation" rather than "syscall", which makes it slightly less egregious: it's referring to `mmap` as a member of `struct file_operations`.
