Also 0% with asthma, obesity, diabetes, etc.

This is true for an isolated rural business. In other cases, a business benefits from having customers park at neighboring businesses. If parking is provided, it will be taken by c…

Your proposal does not work, at least when making the declarations binary compatible with older code. Note that C is a pass-by-value language, so passing an array means that the ca…

Those types should not be optional. CHAR_BIT needs to be 8. It is clearly possible to implement the types even on a 6502 or Alpha. From the early days of pre-ANSI C, the language s…

A horrifying case was multiplication in an x86 emulator. The opcode handler needed to multiply a pair of unsigned 16-bit values, then return a 64-bit result. The uint16_t got promo…

It could be for function pointer type compatibility. There is an array of pointers, or there is a callback interface, or something like that. The type is set in stone.

C currently replaces my use of an array with a pointer. This sucks, because I'd have taken the address if I wanted that. Your proposal replaces my use of an array with two things, …

C has strayed very far from the original intent because compiler authors prioritized benchmark results at the expense of real-world use cases. This bad trend needs to be reversed. …

This is about gain-of-function research that the USA stopped in 2014 for safety reasons. Gain-of-function is adding features to viruses. A goal of her research was to add functiona…

Any stay-at-home order which stopped religious services would be found in violation of the US Constitution's first amendment. It's possible a judge would throw out the whole stay-a…

Were you required to remove stars already on the resume? If not, then I know just what to do. Where on my resume should I put the two stars? Are those the traditional hand-written …

Perhaps so, but: The new ventilators might not last. They might be banned due to low quality after the emergency passes. Some will be damaged by use. Parts might become unavailable…

The equipment is excellent for the other diseases it can test for. I think the numbers I saw earlier today were 95% sure for negative and well over 99% sure for positive, but I can…

Car manufacturers would be really effective, though far from efficient. Under our current conditions, it makes sense to use car manufacturers. Car manufacturers rework and reuse th…

Lots of reasons: There is a difference between "seems obviously correct" and "proven well enough to avoid a lawsuit". China exerts control over American media companies. Ones that …

By "edits", you seems to be referring to something else. I think you mean something like CRISPR Cas9. That is a straw man. I'm definitely not claiming that any such technology was …

Private healthcare providers in the USA are not like that. The hospitals are normally glad to accept your money in exchange for treatment. You can go elsewhere if you wish. If your…

We know, from published scientific research in well-respected journals, that "guided evolution in a Wuhan lab somewhere" has been happening for many years. We also know that China …

Nah, see my comment above. Those links only tell us that we did not find evidence of the use modern gene-editing technology in the virus. It's misdirection with a straw man. The la…

That article is misdirection. It says that we have not been able to find anything in the genome that proves modern gene editing technology was used. Well, so what? People aren't ge…

That says very little. It says that we have not been able to find anything in the genome that proves modern gene editing technology was used. Well, so what? People aren't generally…

The only thing untrue is that we'd officially call them something else. You don't have "death panels" if you call them "community wellness committees". There is no economy anywhere…

I got through the hazing ritual, so that works great for me personally. There is far less competition for my job. For the benefit of society, or the country, or the world, or somet…
