The linked file uses both braces for single line ifs and without braces for single line IF's... that is a really bad sign as a developer in my opinion. That means they aren't enforcing style guidelines and that makes code a fuckton harder to read. I can adapt to either style fairly easy, but when you mix it my mind gets wonky, my mind tends to find it ambiguous too!
Uhm... so you don't know whats broken when you've been given a link to the source in question? But on Android you magically do?
So are you just retarded and only can read source for Android and no other purpose or just too stupid to realize that the source code in question here is VERY open... and fucking linked a few posts above your for fucks sake.
Fucking ignorant fanboy won't even read the fucking web page your on.
There is no unreachable code of goto fail jumps to the right place.
If you look at the actual source and think a moment, its pretty clear and isn't entirely illogical, though I admit, it is broken.
The snippet you are replying too looks stupid standing on its own, in context it doesn't stand out nearly as well, and there is absolutely no way you can tell by that snippet if there is any unreachable code or not, you have no idea from the snippet whats after those gotos or what those gotos do.
So does Clang in current versions of Xcode. No one uses GCC on Apple anymore so its really irrelevant. We've moved on to compilers that don't suck ass. GCC remains for fanboys but thats about it.
The person you're replying to hasn't used Xcode for a very long time apparently.
Clang bitches about any silly coding mistake pretty much, not just unreachable code due to a return or some sort of jmp over code, but also warnings about things such as not catching every case in a switch on an enum.
I'd give up my left testicle if Apple would magically port and start using Visual Studio in OSX though. I can't stand dealing with Windows anymore, but god I long for an IDE that doesn't suck ass.
I've been using this property to tie flies since I was 5-7 years old... 30 years ago. It wasn't new then. Admittedly, I never thought about using it or controlling it, but heat treating monofiliment isn't exactly new. Want a tight fly? Heat treat it, then give it a pinch to hold its shape after its good and warm. Use your fingers, not a tool that will nick the line and make it weak, as the heat treating already weakened its tensile strength considerably.
Mono hasn't been around that long so I suppose fly fishermen hasn't been doing it that long either, but still, this property is well known.
If only we had better search tools to be able to find things like this without rediscovering it. Its not wasted research by any means, but it sure does seem like we could make much more progress if we could benefit from the sum of human knowledge rather than the little bit we have domain specific knowledge of and trying to shoehorn everything else into it.
Theres really no money in Android users, so no reason Microsoft is going to waste its time on them.
Just because some slashdot users buy a few Android apps doesn't mean you represent the medium. If they were going to put forth that much effort to run on shaky ground, they'd go for iOS compatibility first. Actual profit potential in those users.
Since when? Doesn't for me, I'm running FBSD 10, and OSX, neither seem to magically know.
Mind you, I just started using git a few weeks ago to interact with a github hosted project, but I've been using subversion and cvs for 10 years at least. I may just be ignorant of something I have to do to get it to know about the branches?
Could you please explain why this doesn't happen BEFORE hand?
Its not like this is a one time thing, this happens pretty much daily.
Do you guys not have any standards at all? You just keep letting these guys who are clearly not even high school graduates function as 'editors' without ever addressing the issue?
God, you are a text book example of German arrogance. You seem to think that Germany is somehow magically different than the rest of the world, and better than the rest of the world at that.
You do realize what happens when Germany starts thinking like that, right? You get all cocky and then the rest of the world has to beat your ass. How many times do you people have to have that happen before you get over yourselves? People like you will be the cause of WWIII, are you guys going for a triple crown of starting world wars?
The country that freaked out after Fukushima and decided to hastily shut down its nuclear plants... While the rest of the world pointed at you and made fun of your hysteria?
You have got to fucking be kidding me?
Are you Helmet or Kurt cause you sound exactly like what Douglas Adams refers to in Last Chance to See.
Chernobyl is still a net profit, it was actually still running till 5 or 6 years ago, producing power, fully staffed. Try again. Did you know that there really isn't any problem living in the exclusion zone? Animals and plants show no science of radiation issues AT ALL, and that was done at the 25 year mark. But because of stupid people too ignorant to know any better and over-reacting, it will remain an exclusion zone for some time.
The Fukushima plan you mention is retarded and an over reaction to a problem that doesnt' actually exist. The only actual problems that will ever come from there is the poor guy who had a heart attack, probably because he was over reacting just like you.
The reason the US isn't switching to safer plants is because of ignorance which makes people freak out over nuclear power as if it was far more dangerous than it actually is.
Want to make nuclear safe? $250,000 bonus to ANYONE who can find ANY safety violation at a plant. The funds come directly from the plant operators in the form of a fine of 2.5 million dollars per incident, regardless of size, and that includes not putting up a 'where hard hats' sign and anything else. Make it possible for people who are not related to the plant or company to request inspections, so say that some European committee or international group can randomly drop by for an unannounced inspection as well as any of the major nuclear minds in our own country. Let a few of the professors who actually KNOW this shit do the inspections.
You have to make the group of people wanting to do inspections large enough that the company can not buy ALL of them off.
Of course for that to happen, the government could not be corrupt as well, and thats where the real problem lies. The corruption in the government is powered by the companies we're trying to reign in, so the politicians see to it that we can't reign them in.
Perhaps one day, spent nuclear fuel could be repurposed and made harmless, but not today
Uhm, actually it is. Limiting nasty byproducts of nuclear plants is a pretty solvable issue by using the right process to attain a much higher efficiency.
We've known how to do this for years, its not new, it just requires people build the right kind of reactors... which are also several orders of magnitude safer than current production power plant reactors (at least in the US).
"I notice a lot of liberals like solar, so I'll look for every excuse to hate it". I don't tilt at that windmill, it's the way the world has always worked, but it's sad to see in such obvious fashion.
Yes you do, thats why you made a comment regarding people saying things about liberals. If you were on the other side, you'd make some snide remark about conservatives being abused.
Your actions betray you and your words, you're pretty transparent in your FUD as well.
For all practical purposes, Fusion is unlimited energy.
True, it isn't. But it will outlast every other power source we have combined by billions of years, including that big fusion reaction that lights the sky on a daily basis. Given our current consumption, I'm fairly certain (doing this from memory, maybe wrong) that the charts I saw showed that the universe would end before we used up enough of the ocean to notice that we were using it.
Fuel costs ARE a problem with energy production, and if you don't think so go find the paper work your utility uses to control its prices to customers... look at the fuel cost compared to other costs... when fuel isn't the majority of it, let me know. This is a matter of public record already in the US.
Fuel costs are GOING UP, hence why for instance, my electric price went up some time back. This is a known fact and you have to be really fucking ignorant to even suggest that its not.
Current fuels will be exhausted fairly soon, some of them in my lifetime... do you think that it'll be cheap when there isn't any? Its not horrible now... but we're damn near at peak production, it only gets worse from here.
Its possible he's a noob, but you've illustrated that you are in no way an expert and you're entire argument seems to be that because you 'know' all about it that his references are not only wrong, but you don't even need to bother providing any to backup your claim.
This is classic. Its what people who are completely full of shit about the topic of discussion due to try and maintain the high ground when they know they've lost.
Get over yourself, we (the Internet at large) have been tearing bullshitters like you new assholes for over 40 years, hell I've seen 12 year olds do better at talking out their ass and making a convincing case than you have.
... strong position... by strong position you mean they won't be producing energy at all anymore and will simply be buying it form other people...
Well then you and I have completely different definitions of 'strong position'. They way I see it, their plan is just putting them on track to start WWIII when they put themselves into such a pathetic spot that they start getting over charged for power by countries like France, we'll be right back to 1917 again.
The retarded policies they have are ALREADY causing them to get raped, and all they actually did was move the nukes to the other side of their border... but still close enough to be a serious problem if anything happens.
I.E. a bunch of politicians did some stupid things with no effect other than harming Germany and when they were done, they shouted GREEN GREEN!
Offloading your issues to the country next door... when those issues will still affect you BECAUSE YOU MOVED THEM RIGHT NEXT DOOR... is not really putting them in a 'strong position' either.
Great, so they're going to take pollution in the form of greenhouse gases in our combustion engines... and centralize it into coal which is arguable as bad.
Second, they're going to start using a bunch of batteries that are RIDICULOUSLY ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY JUST TO PRODUCE, use them for 3-6 months... and dispose of them... another RIDICULOUSLY ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY PROCESS.
By BUYING a Tesla, before you ever sit in the drivers seat, you have ALREADY contributed MORE pollution to the environment than my ridiculously over powered sports car EVER WILL. Then you still have to power it, use it, and dispose of it.
So good job for missing the point of lowering pollution by being ignorant of the pollution used in part of the manufacturing process.
The supercharger network is also filling out very quickly. By the end of this year most of the country will be covered.
Really? You live in a fantasy land if you think the supercharger network will be 'filled out' considering I won't ever see one on any of the paths I take regularly and I live in freaking RTP, NC where we already have enough Teslas to see them regularly on the road...
Better still, the one place to charge... The running joke is that no one has ever actually been seen driving a car into it, and that includes all the people that live around it.
My entire neighborhood does not have enough power supply for any house in it to charge a Tesla in the winter, it simply won't happen. You can't give away that large of amount of power to HEAT the damn tesla batteries to the point of holding any meaningful charge, let alone actually pump power into them while heating your home, so for most of my city, charging at home in the winter is completely out without upgrading wiring into every home... My house isn't that old, built in the 80s.
You have a great ability to ignore all the actual issues while cherry picking the advantages.
Keyboards are fantastic, at my former job we ended up replacing all keyboards with Mac keyboards after people used the couple of macs a few times for various reasons.
Multi-touch trackpads are FAR superior to mice for most work. I still prefer a mouse for FPS games, but anything else, give me a multi-touch track pad.
Second to that is the Apple mighty mouse. Its 0 buttons! OMFG what would you DO!??!?!
The surface is a multitouch surface so you have a mouse and trackpad in one. If I could get used to it, I'm positive this would be almost ideal for all situations, but alas, I can't get used to it. The might mouse can sense 5 taps at a time, so its effectively a 5 button mouse, not a 1.
Basically, everything about Mac keyboards and mice are far superior to what you're working with, you just are too ignorant to know it and keep spewing some shit you heard 15 years ago that hasn't been true for the past 10.
Yea, buy some home built POS with no warranty or warranties from many different manufactures who can blame each other.
Seriously, anyone who works with more than just their own PC is an idiot for avoiding big name makers like Dell. You'll spend more time building machine than you'll pay for one from Dell. If it takes you 4 hours or more from start to finish to build a PC and get it on a users desk, you're losing money doing it yourself, worse still, you're too inexperienced to even realize how wasteful you are.
Or did you mean someone else who makes PCs like Dell but behaves better... if you did, who might that be?
No, your friends little beige box shop down the street is not better because they didn't spend the ridiculous amount of time Dell spends making sure drivers work properly on a specific installation.
Your post is the sound of some first year intern assembling PCs for some small company some where.
What you quoted says... if it can't handle 100 watts worth of DC, then its not a 100 watt speaker, it should be derated until to whatever steady DC current it can withstand. If it CAN handle 50 watts of DC, then its a 50 watt speaker, not 100 watt speaker.
What you're saying is that if it says its a 100 watt speaker... that a 200watt amp can blow it... well no shit Sherlock. Glad you figured that out all by yourself.
High frequency square waves are far more likely to damage than low frequency.
Once you move well above the rate the speaker can move (i.e trying to send treble through high power woofers) the magnetic flux caused by the speaker trying to move at high frequency but being unable to keep up causes far more damage when coupled with the electrical energy than just the electrical energy itself.
At low frequency it only has to deal with the electrical energy. At high, the dynamics of the magnetism come into play and act as a multiplier
... Except anyone who bothered to figure out what the Cyrillic fonts for X were.
Geeks who actually understand UNIX will all get that reference. Some Linux cluebies that think they're geeks because they installed Ubuntu? Not so much.

Every been to San Francisco?
Notice in the middle of intersections those odd large (about the size of the intersection) circles where there are bricks instead of asphalt?
You know what those are? Emergancy water cisterns for dealing with outages of supply due to earthquakes.
Different purpose but same idea.
