How would I know that off the top of my head? Do you expect such a local event to always be national news? Edit: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+police+officers+were+charged+...

That was an interesting read. Thank you for the link. Do you happen to know off hand if any investigation was actually pursued to track down the missing coins or money?

A private citizen enjoys the right to self-defense, and in cases where killing the assailant is the only means to end the fight and preserve one's life, that is generally held as justifiable. Law enforcement officers enjoy the same rig

There is precedent for a similar idea that worked well in criminal investigations. A documentary was made about it called Crack House USA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ where law enforcement obtained proper

How much of an effect would linking shared / static libraries have on binary size? Would someone writing assembly tend to avoid using external libraries unlike with HLL?

I remembered incorrectly. Thanks for the link.

It looks like you'd be dereferencing the pointer p, but you'd also need to make sure that what p points to has enough memory.

From what I've seen of comedians, they don't appreciate someone talking throughout their set. It is distracting, and it is also insulting to them. (They are paid to perform, and they want to perform.) With that said, some handle i

When I wrote a very primitive UTF-8 library, I really began to appreciate UTF-8's design. For example; the first byte says how many bytes the character requires. At first it was daunting, but when I put 2 and 2 together, it really open

>If it's not legal, it has to be removed anyway! Isn't that the original intent of section 230? Because these websites couldn't possibly moderate all possible user submissions for illegal content, that when illegal content

Begs the question: who defines "bad content"?

You could say the same thing about airlines, but no one is arguing about whether airlines are a necessary component of the economy. I don't support a bailout for cruise lines, but I also don't support a bailout for airlines or any

The animation compression system really stood out to me as well. It seems back when hardware was the limitation, people had to be literal geniuses to develop games. Now with so much middleware and so many pre-cooked engines available, peopl

At that time, FOX was egregious about copyright claim to anything. They worked to take anything offline that was not official, hence licensed. I remember going to fan sites back then. One day they'd be up; the next, they'd 404. No

There isn't any, but that doesn't mean I appreciate the USA PATRIOT Act or other likewise extra-Constitutional, domestic surveillance BS.

>what's the deal with showing an advertisement for the same result that's number one? They paid for the ad. They probably leave it up as first organic results because some people think clicking ads is malignant.

It's an observation, not a statement of fact. >large-scale issues Oh, so since this is an isolated phenomenon that it is your preference to ignore this as evidence for your cause because it doesn't meet your criteria. That&#x27

I am certain that someone would have noticed this happening before. Maybe it is a symptom of climate change. Instead of ice being dammed up earlier in the river, it moves further down and freezes in the currents.

It is very insulting to expect that the experience of working in a factory or mining environment will translate at all as skills necessary for programming.

This exchange was an enjoyable read. C was designed for portability because they had those PSP computers or whatever they were but the problem is that each had its own unique architecture, switch arrangement for operation and maybe even end

I think in other words what you say is that the C standard defines sizeof(char) = 1; so that 1 is one byte and that char must be one byte however different architectures can have an addressable space of a size different than 8 bits, 1 byte

I have seen this happen with pointers on the x86_64 arch and the comparison operator where they appear to be the same value in the lower 4 bytes but the upper 4 bytes are different. I am not exactly certain, but what I think happens is that

They've been slacking in development, both software and hardware. Look at the MacBook keyboard problem, or all of the security exploits like pressing Enter numerously to escalate to root privileges. You don't get these kinds of pr
