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 customers of other businesses.

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 called function can modify the content without the modificatio

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 supported types for which the hardware did not have appropria

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 promoted to an int for the multiplication, causing undefined beha

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, a pointer (as before) and a length. This is not too hel

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. Consider signed integer overflow. The intent wasn't tha

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 functionality to coronaviruses that could infect humans. With funding

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-at-home order. To have a stay-at-home order that su

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 style, with the lines crossing to make a pentagon in the mid

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. New companies may enter the ventilator business. We still

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't find that source back anymore. Numbers for this spec

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 things all the time. There are always new models coming out, m

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 don't play ball get banned in China

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 used. The virus modifications in the Wuhan la

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 insurance company denies payment, you can find some other w

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 has previously had several terrifying biocontainme

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 lab was breeding viruses the old-fashioned way long befor

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 generally making that claim. The only thing disproven is

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 in the world that can support

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 something like that... the situation is terrible. We're wast

People hit calculus, which is almost never needed in the job market, and they give up. Lots of math and hard science is in the major. It's not an alternative to the humanities and liberal arts and languages. It's done in addition,

It's easy if we are willing to cut red tape and willing to prioritize people over pets. Veterinarians need almost no training to do the job. Test runs done for emergency preparation have proven that veterinarians do a better job than a

If a place makes plastic parts of similar size, switching just means changing out the dies/molds that form the plastic. Auto part suppliers, often not the actual auto companies, should have no problem with this.

That depends on where you live. In many places, the law doesn't punish victims for self-defense. You certainly can kill a person who is attacking you. In a few places, notably Texas, it is legal to kill a person to stop a theft or to r
