At Christmas they put white lights on all of the trees except for Pete Conrad's which gets red lights. At his funeral his crew mate Alan Beam said "Pete says that while he was here he was always the shortest astronaut, but he does

These are the first groups that came to mind. They may not all seem applicable all of the time but I would argue that making your site accessible to as many of these people as possible would improve the experience of all of your users. - Pa

According to [1] it's W xor X. Interpreting that literally suggests that read only memory is disallowed as well. I'd be surprised if that's actually the case. [1] http://www.openbsd.org/33.html

I think you'd be surprised; this gave my wife some interesting ideas ... for work. For what it's worth she's an academic in computing.

I don't think that's particularly wishful thinking, however, your alternative phrasing could be seen as equally, if not more, leading. When quizzed on the behaviour of a C program I would expect a careful and experienced C program

It's a gotcha for anybody, like me, that expects a branch name to be 'just' a string.

If you're that worried why not cut it short to "We liked your attitude, you seem intelligent, and well-spoken, but we have concerns about your knowledge of <some key area>." There can't be any risk there, surely?

"I did write a compiler manual in 1958, which by chance was actually used as the textbook for one of my classes in 1959(!)" How many people in the world could claim something similar?

Even worse when it's not even a politician from your own country. I'm looking at you Rand Paul.

It's important to remember that the "year of code" initiative is not related to the new curriculum coming into force in September 2014. My wife is writing a book for the new curriculum and, from what she's told me, it

Reading about suicide in the news is incomparable to the kind of direct intervention I'm talking about. As john_fushi commented[1], the best thing you can do is talk about it and his suggestion of calling your local suicide helpline fo

I'll chime in here, if you don't mind - I'm bipolar[1]. My health often deteriorates for short periods of time, perhaps a day or two, sometimes a week or so. In these situations there is often some trigger - high workload, po

I'm enjoying this so far although a couple of things have made me scratch my head in the example code allocating a vector. int create_vector(struct vector *vc, int size) { vc->data = 0; vc->size = 0; if (vc == N
