Reading the sections of the ANSI C standard you copied, it seems carefully written so that NULL can be defined to be any value on a given platform......however the idiom of using (void*)0 to represent a null must be preserved. So you could have code like this that evaluates to true:
void *a = 0;
int b = (int)a;
if(b==07777){
printf("true\n");
}
What's publishing a version of the book with analysis designed specifically to discredit it a symbol of?
That's a different question, and I don't know the answer. However, there are plenty of academics in Germany (and France, for that matter) with some of the limitations they've been given on free speech, so perhaps it is a symbolic attempt at freedom, in a very German way (given that Germans have a reputation for following strictly the rules and regulations).
I don't think it's people skills exactly, it's something more like this and this.
Not that extreme usually, but often programmers spend their time nitpicking over things that don't matter (at least, that don't matter from the salespeople's perspective).
However, this isn't going to kill off the events and the potential in these games because honestly, the audience that exist is absolutely rabid for pretty much everything related to the game.
Why? I don't understand why people are so intensely into LoL
Reduce the rate of new features until you've fixed the old ones. When you're in a pit, you need to first stop digging. In this case, its probably better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. I'm not suggesting you lie by any means, but don't treat bugs like they exist in isolation from the rest of the features you were working on. It's a huge mistake to slap out a half-finished feature and then move on without fixing all the little issues that crop up as a result of that feature.
A lot of the programmers don't know how to actually do this. They don't know how to keep bugs out, even with ~infinite time, because every time they change the code, they add bugs.
It's a people problem: you need to start by making your programmers better programmers.
In my own code, I'll occasionally run into "smells"... things which seemed reasonable enough or perhaps simply expedient at the time, but later started bugging me whenever I looked at the code or thought about how its organized. Every so often, between new features, I'll dig deep and clean up one of those "smells", which often has no tangible benefit other than making the code cleaner and safer.
This paragraph tells me that you don't have that problem; you're the kind of programmer I would like to have as a coworker. No one writes perfect code the first time, but good programmers are the ones who think about how to avoid bugs and improve their code.
Why do you think Jeb! isn't polling so well despite being a well-reasoned man who might have some interesting debates with Sanders?
That's true, after I got over the fact that he's a Bush, and started listening to what he says, he came across as thoughtful and competent.
I still won't vote for him, because he's a Bush.
Clean Coder is the latest Uncle Bob book, and IMO his best. It shows how to act in a way that managers don't make weird demands of you, and how to handle them when they do. Essentially it boils down to this: be professional. Zero Bugs teaches how to reduce the bug count when you write it, so you don't get overwhelmed as you go along.
Generally I've found managers/customers understand that features take time, and they are happy as long as you are reasonably close in your estimates. But when your product is buggy, and you miss your delivery dates by months, that's when they start getting upset.
tbh I think Blizzard is trying to reduce the number of tournaments. A lot of people feel like there were just too many, thus they didn't matter. Fewer tournaments would bring in the hype more. Or something.
No one bothered to check with Democratic voters until recently, but Trump has stronger support from Democrats [hotair.com] than he does from Republicans!
That's not surprising, since most of his positions and his registered party were Democratic until recently.

C99? I'm talking old, bro
I think because it's a symbol of censorship. Not just censorship, but of censorship attempting to kill an ideology in a conquered regime.

It's ready for a certain someone to create a derivative work.
oh, it was defined recently. Interesting.

Nevertheless, I wish you well in the future.
Thanks, you too.
Jon Stewart is hilarious as always, but W came across as the frat boy who got Cs even as governor.

Nah, I'm too tired to realize
That's weird, I didn't think NULL even had to be 0. I remember reading about some platform where NULL actually wasn't zero.

If they weren't going to make Starcraft 2 a viable PvP game,
PvP is balanced. They are the same race!
I'm just not sure how committed Blizzard are to SC2
Committed. They just increased the amount of money they are going to spend on pro Starcraft this year.
now that it's clear there will be no new expansions
Another expansion is already being planned, based on the back story of Nova.
One-to-many distribution has become the shrieking of many-to-many.
When you say it like that, it sounds like an improvement.
Too bad that's not in there, your short paragraph is more readable than the actual articl.
These are my two favorite books for dealing with the problem.

That's important, too
ok, so what do you think Blizzard should do to increase viewership?
tbh I think Blizzard is trying to reduce the number of tournaments. A lot of people feel like there were just too many, thus they didn't matter. Fewer tournaments would bring in the hype more. Or something.
It would all be fixed if we didn't have advertising.
