    Yeah, the one that begun with bloodbath of the Civil War, purges, forced collectivization, continued through disastrous wars and GULAGs only to die 80 years later with social degen…

    Comment #13239525

    No, I don't. If foo is a (storage of) pointer to something, to get that something from memory I use dereference operator `* so *foo = 'a'; will write value of 'a' into memory at ad…

    I find that char* foo = NULL; char bar = 0; are preferable. Is there any reason one would want to smash N declarations into one?

    Casey said in one of the J&C shows that he tried to do the site in HTML & CSS but ragequit and wrote it in C.

    Hm...So, what conditions person needs to satisfy to elevate from ToS violator to fighter against colonial rule? Does 'fighter' status gives free pass on such violations? Are people…

    In Haskell I use Maybe's, Either's and their ilk (packing result code in returned data I guess?), in C - your usual boolean return values like this: bool parse_literal (ParsingStat…

    I think exceptions are very bad idea. Not nearly as bad as implicit nullability but comparable. Hacky emulations of exceptions... Well I don't want to be near such code. But that w…

    Is TV no longer a dominant channel for big budget film marketing?

    Well, Resharper is available since VS2003 if not earlier. It has what VS2015 has to offer and more. Including extracting code into methods and classes. I can't even image the pain …

    Whole new level of 'stop liking what I like!'? Also 'hacker' should have released everything and sent links to the media. That would close the site for sure. And would generate qui…

    Yes, they were. Many latter generation writers call them Teachers. Yes with capital T.

    I would like to chime in and say that if there is story, any story (or even no story) at all - there is manga about it. And interesting thing is, according to https://www.mangaupda…

    I'm not using any AV for like a decade. Cheap router is my firewall. Common sense is my "threat prevention".

    Seems I phrased my previous comment too vague, sorry for that. I'm aware of what REST stands for. My question is what advantages utilizing "obscure" HTTP verbs and headers with spr…

    I found using HTTP (a mere transport layer) status codes as part of an API very unnatural and wrong. It feels like bending TCP/UDP packets structure to implement FTP to me. And sho…

    It's worth to note, that they can and actually do block addresses without court order.

    Not all of them, and I was asking is there some progress in this area. I wonder if I'll see a factory-less society and how it will look like.
