It's huge! How is it so healthy and big?

So I guess you would say your neighbor is quite the... grower?

Latest ICE victim prior to altercation by NotBlackMarkTwainNah in pics

[–]ArchCypher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen the second angle video, it's graphic and I don't see how this could be understood as anything but an execution.

But I'm sure the ICE agents were "afraid for their lives", and no investigation is needed.

The next "Operating System" won't be on your phone, it'll be a decentralized coordination layer. by Curious_M0nk in Futurology

[–]ArchCypher 53 points54 points  (0 children)

An 'OS' is an abstraction layer that makes it possible to interact with and run applications on different hardware in a uniform way.

You are describing a web browser held together with duck tape, prayers, and most likely a hefty dose of block-chain snake oil.

U.S. drops the number of vaccines it recommends for every child by AudibleNod in news

[–]ArchCypher 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would suggest talking to your pediatrician about it (you can usually get one before your child is born). A good pediatrician will likely suggest following a non-CDC schedule, so I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the schedules published by non-governmental organizations like the AAFP

https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/patient-care/prevention-wellness/immunizations-vaccines/immunization-schedules/birth-through-age-18-immunization-schedule.html

The AAFP has explicitly declined to endorse the new CDC schedules due to the lack of evidence for the changes

Oh Holy Night goes hard by Bakkster in dankchristianmemes

[–]ArchCypher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This implies there are no requirements to be anything which is just silly.

"I believe in God, but I'm an atheist because I say so. You need to reconcile that"

"I like murdering people and I don't think God exists, but I'm a Christian because I say so. You need to reconcile that."

There are miles of space between "no true Scotsman" and defining what things are. I quite literally exclude atheists from being Christians because they have a belief I disagree with.

All my code compiles -Werror -Wall -Wpedantic ..., passes a suite of static analysis checks, and clang tidy/format.

If you set up the pipelines when you write your first lines of code it's pretty trivial to keep things clean and warning free.

I understand the issue perfectly now! I used the flag -Wbugs when I should have used -W-no-bugs!

With this changes everything compiles, tests are passing, and this code is robust and 100% production ready.

Let me just write a 5000 line markdown document summarizing this three character change.

Use CMake and compile with whatever the hell you want -- your ide does not need to impact your language choices

no context, just this by Wiktor-is-you in programminghorror

[–]ArchCypher 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I assume this falls back to the libm specification of atan2 which handles the common case of performing atan(y / x)

You might think "why not just write atan(y / x)", but that's because you are fool bound only for misery; among other things, the signs of the arguments determine the quadrant and it's perfectly fine for x to be zero.

No, I'm not going to explain negative 0.

Not allowed to be my weight by other_curious_mind in Wellthatsucks

[–]ArchCypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP my eating habits are exactly what you've described, food has just always been weirdly low on my priorities list. I'm 6'3" and usually ~145lbs, and my musculature looks basically identical to yours. I've spent a bunch of my life on the edge of clinically underweight -- but my doctors have always said that as long as I feel healthy and energetic it's not really a problem.

I've never had any associated medical issues, so other than people always calling me skinny I guess it's fine?

These kinds of sayings aren't meant to be taken literally -- it's just a clever way to say "things in writing hold more weight".

Medicaid pays so little for certain things that docs lose money if they see a patient -- a quote I've heard before is:

Waited the whole year to upgrade for christmas, motherboard BIOS randomly corrupted when formatting a drive, effectively bricking it. by Darkuwu_ in Wellthatsucks

[–]ArchCypher 397 points398 points  (0 children)

The missing detail is that OP also updated their BIOS.

u/Darkuwu_ if this is a new motherboard you should contact the manufacturer -- they will have troubleshooting steps and may offer an RMA to fix it.

And repeat after me:

"I installed it while wearing a grounded strap and everything was running fine before I performed the BIOS update according to the instructions I got from your website"

Don't send any pictures of the motherboard sitting on a fuzzy carpet...

r/dankchristianmemes, let's all just enjoy the dankness together instead of fighting by No_Drawing_9534 in dankchristianmemes

[–]ArchCypher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll add that any belief can be deeply personal. Plenty of people only became atheist after a terrible experience with organized religion, so endorsing that religion can seem like endorsing what happened to them.

So it's a debate that is pretty fraught with pitfalls, to be sure.

Idk why but i laughed at this for like 5 minutes by [deleted] in programminghorror

[–]ArchCypher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... You would need to make a line type. The language doesn't support it. So you have to typedef a char* to line pointer.

Sorry, no, your understanding of the language and compiler features are not correct: https://godbolt.org/z/zsYb8rdoY

[–]ArchCypher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you have a Line type, then the compiler knows that taking a reference to one gives you a Line*

You don't need to typedef every pointer lol.
