Actually jackass it won't necessarily compile if you delete 2. Delete both brackets from this and see how far you get.
int main() { return 0; }
Aside from that the chances of accidentaly deleting and open and close bracket in the same function and not noticing are vanishingly small. Far less that deleting some whitespace.
They clearly define the block no matter how you format it.
More than once I've seen a python program where someone has accidentaly deleted tabbed whitespace on a end line in a block and moved that line into the outer block and of course python says nothing. But now the program is broken. Try removing a bracket in C/C++/java and see what happens.
Whitespace as a block delimiter is a retarded idea, always has been, always will be.
Not many people tbh. 26% is above the level where spontanious fires can occur. You think forest fires in todays 21% is bad? You REALLY wouldn't want to go for a walk in the woods in summer if it was 26%. Not only that , high O2 levels = hugh insects and arthropods.
"That's why the same approach she criticizes, if applied music, produces students that can play a paticular piece or pieces of "hard" music very well, but cannot meaningfully compose or even read music."
To be fair, while both composers and players may be labelling "musicians", the skills required are quite different. Playing a piece of music well is a rote activity learned over time like riding a bicycle. Composing OTOH is a creative activity that can't really be taught much beyond the "these chords sound nice in sequence" level. You either have the creative gene or you don't.
Similarly, most people can cut and paste together some pre-existing functional modules to create some mickey mouse app. However to come up with an algorithm and logic from scratch to solve a complex problem is an entirely different kettle of fish.
I suppose one argument against is that any white noise from a device not designed to generate pure white noise could be baised in some way and while this wouldn't make it predictable it could narrow its range of truly random values.
However I agree that its still better than the pseudo random stuff we use now. Its not like an analogue white noise generator would be hard to build and include in a CPU which could then be A->D'd by the chip and an instantanious value made available via a register.
Yeah, I was wondering that. Surely if robots are cheaper manufacturing can be brought back home now? Whats the advantge now of making stuff in china with all the associated shipping costs?
So what? Thats the same in most modern CPUs. The point is that CISC instructions execute a lot more microcode and hence use more energy than RISC instructions and with CISC the compiler is more limited in what it can do with opcode order shuffling which is unfortunate since the compiler has a much broader view of the program than the CPU will in its instruction cache.
"Well, then. I was thinking of getting one to help me get and stay close to max-rate for interval training. 14% inaccuracy would be wildly dangerous in that case."
I do hope you're being sarcastic. If not then you might want to consider listening to your body instead of reliying on some stupid device. You know, what athletes people have done for millenia. If you're so disconnected from what your body is telling you perhaps you shouldn't be training at all.
I think you're being a bit unfair to Sun there. Sparc , along with most old style Risc CPUs is more efficient with a smaller die size on a Mips basis than the dogs dinner that is x86 with its massive amounts of microcode and legacy baggage.
Yeah, Itanium was a disaster, however PA-RISC was competetive. They could have kept developing it but I guess some clueless suit decided to save money and get into bed with Intel.
Yeah, just not "printers, laptops, notebooks, desktops and workstations, and a lot more", you know, the things that actually make money...
"We make servers, from smaller rack servers up to huge Enterprise scale servers. We make storage hardware, network hardware, etc. Basically, if it's something you'd find in a corporate data center, we make it AND support it"
You're still a runt of a company hived off from a once great corporation. No one cares about HP big iron any more, that died when HP decided HP-UX was yesterdays news and x86 was the way forward. Its IBM , Oracle or Dell + [linux distro of your choice] now.
"Most of those pathogens aren't bad for you, they just strengthen your immune system."
That may be true, but that bad ones are REALLY bad. Certain animal strains of e-coli can cause severe poisoning and kidney failure and salmonella is pretty common on farms.
This has a rotten smell to it. Seems to me HP is being slowly dismantled for money. A great company slowly being flushed down the toilet by short termist used car salesman types.
If you've been in a muddy area such as a farm that may have any kind of animal poo mixed in with it then you really need a hot wash to make sure most/all pathogens are dead.
There are no other alternatives - modern planes don't just break up mid flight and if it had been another pilot suicide the radar track would have shown it descending whereas it simply vanished indicating catastrophic break up. Given the distance from the coast my money is on a bomb, either in the hold or on a terrorist on board.
The ken thomspon hack is overrated. You can't inject subversive code into a program without code to do the injection and code which is the virus itself and this code has to exist somewhere even if its only in binary form so despite what some people think it, its not magic , its not invisible, it can be detected. Yes yes, all the tools are subverted etc - well good luck writing code that can be injected into every tool and work properly in every situation. That would be the holy grail of virus coding.
And they're usually very experienced coders/hackers you name it - there are very few newbies or script kiddies on IRC mainly because they've never heard of it. I suspect anonymous' lectures will last about 5 minutes before they're laughed off the channel.

Indeed. To me this has all the hallmarks of insurance fraud and/or an attempt to get off negligent driving charges.

If a bracket is missing the program won't compile you dork.

That doesn't mean there'll be anyone working in the factories!

"All modern processors are internally RISCy "
Bollocks. The x86 FPU and GPU instructions are risc like , the rest of it is not.
"Well, then. I was thinking of getting one to help me get and stay close to max-rate for interval training. 14% inaccuracy would be wildly dangerous in that case."

"But "if nothing changed" is an absurd assumption"
Not necessarily. We've been burning fossil fuels on a large scale now since the mid 19th century and we don't appear to be letting up.
Anyway, how would you expect them to model it? What assumptions would you make about the future? Please, fill us in with your insight.
Err, the "if nothing changed" scenario was kind of the point. And people modded this idiot up?

Or that what we were being told a few days ago. How could a VM based language like java have exploits?? VMs are the future, right?
[/sarcasm]
Seriously, they took 6 months to come up with this name? Doesn't bode well for the rest of the show.
