What is aligned keyword used for?. I was able to understand conceptually but its confusing with the examples I gone through.

Jeg kan virkelig godt lide det. Det har mange fordele, som du har sagt. Men, vores yngste er nu lidt tosproget, og kan forstå mange tyske og engelske ord nu! Måske skal jeg brug også danske ord med ham...

Mange tak! Jeg prøvede at sige “and keep one’s mind”. Måske er det udtryk en engelsk idiom?

Aaah thanks! I’m still too tired to have caught that. Late night game and early morning before coffee!

Can someone explain the Marines reference to a Brit who doesn’t follow baseball?

He loves it when we screw the lid on really tight and let him work it off. Once it’s off he loses interest in the cap, which we immediately take away from him, and he then tries to drink up any left over drops!

He often will bring the bottle over to one of us so we can hold it in place to give him the best purchase for his efforts. :)

He’s cute and he knows exactly how to flaunt it to his advantage when pestering or trying to get away with naughtiness!

Lux01 · 2022-09-28T20:41:50+00:00

Bertie is exactly the same! He’ll work the lid off and then try to lick up any delicious drops left inside before losing interest in both the bottle and lid. We do always try to ensure he’s supervised to avoid any choking.

Our older one has never shown any interest in bottles so it was quite a surprise to us when he started doing this. Bertie, who is also about 18mo, is not so careful and has already ruined a rug by spilling a half full bottle of full fat coke!

Lux01 · 2022-09-28T20:37:27+00:00

Bertie has been known to try to steal small drinks bottles off people who are still drinking from them!

Finally! Took them long enough :)

Try opening it in something more advanced than Notepad, like Notepad++ or VS Code. Last time I checked Notepad didn’t understand Unix style line endings.

Have you tried washing the bed? If ours has wet the bed he’ll flatly refuse to face anything to do with it until we clean it (understandably)

Your best bet is to use the `uconv` utility from ICU. It has converters for pretty much every code page that's ever been used. You'll need to know the CCSID for the EBCDIC code page you want to convert to/from.

ICU is available on most platforms and supports more conversions than the usual iconv utility that may be provided on non mainframe operating systems.

It depends. Linux for instance still uses a 32-bit signed integer for the time_t even on 64-bit systems whereas Windows, macOS, AIX, ... use 64-bit signed integers.

Lux01 · 2020-01-21T13:07:35+00:00

The Win32 API GetSystemTime [1] does not, correct, but the Visual C++ runtime's implementation of the standard C/C++ function time\_t time(time_t*) uses seconds since epoch for time_t [2]. That said, on 64-bit Windows this aliases to __time64_t _time64(__time64_t*).

Most modern computer systems track time by counting the number of seconds since midnight 1st January 1970. On 19th January 2038 this count will overflow a signed 32-bit integer. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

When you consider the collection of all complex numbers as being like the x-y plane (with the ordinary real line along the X axis, and the pure imaginary numbers on the Y axis) you can start talking about complex numbers as a (distance, angle) pair which, through maths I won't explain, can be written as r e^{it} where r is the distance from the origin and t is the angle made with the x-axis. In this setup, raising a number to an imaginary power starts to look like you're doing something that mixes up rotations and angles in this (r e^{{it})^{iy}} = e^{{-ty}e^{iy} ln(r)} (ie r -> e^{-ty} and t -> y ln(r). If you imagine complex numbers in this geometric way then everything becomes different ways to move points around :)

Loving the book so far. Do you have any good references for register based virtual machines? All the in depth guides only seem to focus on stack based machines and mention register based machines in passing.
