Recent versions of Debian require a 686. https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.en.html#...

Additionally, he keeps talking about dereferencing the pointer, which I don't think is right. The pointer never gets deferenced in the code shown. I'm not an x86 guru, but I think …

>Let's assume that when a river gets redirected, a scientist goes and investigates it This is a faulty assumption and is what leads to the wrong conclusion. The probability of 0.5%…

I think a better analogy is that it's like having many pairs of dice, and rolling each pair in turn until you get a roll of 12. Then concluding "this particular pair of dice must b…

Where 1 f(x) = (x-1)/9 + 1, maps bijectively from [1,4] to [1,4/3] g(x) = (x-1)/9 + 4/3, maps bijectively from [1,4] to [4/3,5/3] h(x) = (x-1)/9 + 5/3 maps bijectively from [1,4] t…

> The argument "Addition breaks" proves just as well that zero "isn't a number", since it breaks division rather badly. Mathematically, numbers (be it natural, rational, real, or c…

Not only does there exist a bijective mapping between [1,2] and [1,4], there exists infinite different bijective mappings between a subset of [1,2] and [1,4]. i.e.: One could map b…

The problem is a loss of verbosity. The next person looking at the code isn't necessarily going to know how MAX is defined, and saving 1 line of code isn't worth making it less cle…

int a = f(); if (a I believe the latter will generally result in 2 calls to f() (unless it returns less than zero), which could cause undesired behavior or just be inefficient. Of …
