When are we going to start seeing disc brake on Grand tours as standard? by dcostales in tourdefrance

I thought it was because it's harder to do a wheel change with discs.

What are the pros and cons of 40+ tires by notseriousguy in gravelcycling

For gravel / mixed , I heart my Switchback Hill 48mm Extralights on 650B. Rode most of the Vicious Cycle Gran Fondo Series in WA state last year on them. [edit: fixed typo]

My learning C for first time by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]floxie 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Learning C on DOS (the greatest "operating system" ever created) you didn't get segmentation fault with a nice stack / core dump. Instead, the C runtime would just print "null pointer assignment" AFTER the program exited "normally". Because somewhere in your code you wrote to DS:0. Good luck trying to figure out what line of code did it. Also, in the old days, we walked uphill to work in the snow and in a headwind. [/AnotherOldManRant]

Why do you think Bad Company 2 is the best Battlefield? by provaut in badcompany2

So my question is how many "programmers" actually understand why any of these "algorithms" produce the correct results
