@Glinner You wouldn't be eating there even if you went.

@hshLauraJ Cultural appropriation of the ShoeOnHead people ;-)(@shoe0nhead)

@essaere It's an odd experience when lightning is so close. I had a strike about 3 yards in front of me (I was in a car so no risk), and because it came straight down the thunder sound just sounded like a shotgun going off.

@MichaeldeBy @slimbook If you wanted to get really fancy you could get the mic calibration files and add those to the calibration, then you're correcting purely for the speakers and room. (Audyssey/Dirac style)

@essaere Funny, for me it's "Pyramid Song".

@TiceRichard I think it's becoming progressively obvious that you don't speak for the British.

@SebAaltonen We are getting to the point where we are going to need the IDEs to step up and provide us with context menus to apply these attributes and fill in the text for us. Right click, set range, give values etc.

@Scrybe52 @nicbarkeragain Fair, not what I was meaning. Was wondering if he had a warning before he started working - making you cautious. If he had a "shadows a global" warning he could have refactored it (change name), then when removing the var he would see he needed to remove it from the test too.

@StrigaKilla @pramode_ce Ok. I've been doing C since 1986. You don't need any of those headers. If you've ever written a program that needs to run in 256 bytes of memory you'd know.

@eeuoss Hmmm, my embedded devices with no OS or libc would beg to differ. No TLB either - no MMU, but I do need to know how many wait states there are on certain sections of memory so I can organise it for efficiency.

@lauriewired Presumably someone could design the DRAM with multiple storage bits per real bit, and each storage bit has a different refresh time. On a read you access the one that isn't in a refresh cycle. Might be a complicated access method but basically hedging but down in the silicon.

@ChShersh Coming from the embedded world I always wonder about the comparison in stack usage of these versions.

@morgan_twts The magic words from Excalibur (1981), also used as the special phrase in Ready Player One (2018).

@movieshub26 I'm tired of these posts that don't put the movie name in the post, gonna start blocking them, bye.....

@Mirandalorians Philips 49 Inch Curved Dual QHD Monitor. Only use it for work though, where it is awesome. Widescreen movies have black bars on the sides as it's 32:9. The resolution of 5120x1440 can be a challenge for HDMI on some laptop GPUs. You can have 2 computers displayed at once though.

@ChShersh I could make it worse. Add an "Invalid = 20" as the last item. 👿
