I feel they have an image to maintain, but i also feel they would sell out for enough money. So… tell me if you make it.

From what i understand, you can pay iso to standardise anything. So it’s only useful for interoperability.

Lets say you use a variable named abcd in your function. And a variable named abcb in a for loop inside the same function. But because reasons you mistakenly use abcd inside that loop and modify the wrong variable, so that your code sometimes doesnt work properly.

It’s to prevent mistakes like that.

A similar thing is to use const when the variable is not modified.

Contrary to popular opinion, i’m gonna guess graphics driver. Specifically the shader compiler.

You can get lower latency with vulkan then with opengl. I remember some emulators (gamecube?) talk about why they implemented vulkan.

PDF can… embed javascript. So, sadly it is possible.

My cat will only eat those pate things. And not just any pate, the cheapest ones. And some salami, but only if i cut up thin stripes.

The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.

Nobody in europe that has an iphone uses imsg as their primary anything. Because Europe is an android dominated market.

Feynman on magnets and these kind of questions.

If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.

I was playing bloons td back when it was flash, in firefox. It was sometimes too slow. So i fired up perf and found out what horrors flash player was doing with memcpy. One byte memcpy, completely unaligned memcpy.

So i wrote an ssse3 memcpy that could do one byte unaligned with xmm registers. It was 30% faster then whatever glibc was doing and made the game playable. Was planing to submit it to glibc, but they came up with something different that was just as fast.

Depends on the definition of respect. It ranges from “not being an asshole to them” to putting them on a pedestal.

Being a teacher (or just being older) does not automatically mean you should be respected. All of my teachers in schools were worthy of respect, except two. One of them was a spiteful hag.

I agree to be polite. Respect has to be earned, though.

Water is actually good for concrete. Well… more like it doesn’t care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b43Iz2OoUNk

Problem is that iron rebar in the concrete rusts and expands cracking the concrete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLF18H9JGHs

PS Sir Martyn Poliakoff, the professor in the first video, studies “green chemistry”. He’s a great man.

Not decay as they would be frozen, obviously.

Sublimation. As long as it gets energy from radiation some atoms or molecules would randomy get enough to f off into space. In my theory, at least. And bones would stay last as they are the hardest.

Sublimation happens all the time. I got that from AlphaPhoenix on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnqQyeqGIBE Really cool science channel

If they were orbiting a star for long enough, maybe. (Long enough = thousand or millions of years) Maybe a skeleton in a small cloud ?

Yea, if even 1% of their fan base were to send them a message ot would be spam for days. Even if they weren’t doing anything else it would be too much.

Still wish him all the best.

Imma go ask Steve if he wants to be my friend.
