"consensual slavery" is a tautology more ridiculous than anything the Soviet Union ever wrote in their propaganda. Nobody would sell themselves into slavery if they had a choice. Which kind of brings up an interesting angle - if e

Still, it held off for 4 years. That's pretty much the usual lifetime of a console generation, so I'd say the system was a success.

It's no worse than checking return codes though. And I really don't want integer overflow check to be turned on for all integers. I'm writing stuff that has to run, even if it occasionally produces a wrong answer . Having

This fact should be drilled into the heads of managers everywhere - Henry Ford, one of America's great entrepreneurs and businessmen, set his workers' shifts to 8 hours not out of some love or sympathy, but because 8 hours is the

Lol, that poem. That poem is meant to be taken literally, the poet wrote it for his friend who wouldn't shut up about nature hikes. You had a much better saying at your disposal "The grass is always greener on the other side"

Jesus Fucking Christ, now we're exploiting undefined behaviour to remove one compare instruction? You don't even need the jump, just use a conditional move. Just.. test rax, rax add rax, $offset cmovz rax, 0 Or k

Malloc never fails, but you might die if you touch the memory. In general, modern OSes don't have a good story about exhausting available memory beyond "let's kill a bunch of processes to free up memory".

It's a way to mitigate sql injection attacks when you don't want to pay for a rewrite of the data layer to not communicate with the database by blindly mashing strings together. And don't get me started if your name can'

Or do what the Japanese do: every bike has a serial number etched into the frame and is registered to you (similar to a car). If your bike is ever stolen, the police can trivially find it by the serial number and return it.

You will never get people to stop discriminating against those who they deem "disgusting" or "deviant" in some way, so the best thing is to keep matters private as much as possible. It's just not in some people&#x27

We moved to Skype because of the end-to-end encryption, the group chats feature, the ability to talk and the network effect from others using it and us not wanting to use two clients at once. Oh, and with Skype file transfers would just wor

Can you be prevented from buying more stock if you say you do intend to acquire? As in, can the company tell you flat-out to stop buying, because of course they can always raise the price or sell to someone else, etc.

Mostly usable unless you use nVidia or AMD with the binary drivers. AMD are going to be supported in the near future via their open-source amdgpu driver (for GPUs from 2015 onward) and nVidia will show up with a new driver that will support

Huh. I would have thought that the woman in question is assertive and putting an asshole in his place, but now that you've told me society at large thinks of her as a bitch, I'll make sure to fall in line.

What about the fact that drugs are incompatible with the lifestyle we want our society to have? Isn't it better instead of legalizing them to find the root cause which is forcing these people to seek escapism from reality in psychoacti

I haven't written Go, but from what I've heard it lets you mix in platform-specific assembly. Can't you use that to put in memory barriers and/or issue the specific load/store instructions you need?
