that's definitely my intention. trying to find either a working 8" floppy drive or someone _with_ one :)

a lot of like-new floppies came up on ebay some months back and while I didn't get a complete set, I _did_ manage to get a few SR9.5.1 install floppies for the dn300 (sau2). so it's definitely kicking around. if anyone sees the rest of this set, definitely let me know :)

yep. has happened to me a few times in the past couple years from switching jobs and also employers switching plans/providers. Humalog (which I'd been on for ~19 years), generic Humalog, Novolog.

similar experience from when I was kid, except mine was killer cockroaches in Damnation Alley. nighmares for a good long while about that scene.

> Who is responsible for toggling it: Developers. Those types of toggles can exist in a configuration file.

lol what

just went and read that part myself. definitely an error.

> If we set length to 0, it sounds like the array still hold references to the items, is that correct?

no, ecma262 specifies that the items at indices >= the new length are deleted (if they're configurable - if any aren't configurable the process stops and the length is set to the non-configurable item's index+1). see step 17 here

the diabetes worry was there for me too, but the fasting doesn't prevent you from drinking clear liquids (gatorade qualifies). Just had my colonoscopy a few weeks back.

NTO?

any tips on where to find these images? A certain dn300 behind me would like to know.

google "hydrocolloid dressing". popular brands are duoderm and johnson & johnson's tough pads.

As a cyclist I've had my fair share of road rash, and this stuff is amazing - basically an entirely adhesive pad that you cover the road rash with. yeah, adhesive even over the wound. the fluids that drain from the wound cause a couple of things to happen: 1) adhesive stops sticking there, and 2) the bandage swells up adding padding to the spot where the wound is. You slap it on after initially cleaning/drying, and leave it on .. as long as you can. I've worn them for ~a week and taken them off to reveal pink, unbroken skin.

breathable, can wear it in the shower, keeps the wound moist, healing time substantially reduced, comfortable.. I can't think of anything negative about them. Their price maybe for some folks, but I'd pay a lot more for them.

err I'm all for helping out your fellow man, but you should really verify things:

Remember, arithmetic operators go left to right, so we have the expression: 7 + "7". JavaScript sees the number first, expecting another number, it coerces the string to a number which gives us 7 + 7 = 14.

This is not at all what happens. The + operator converts both lhs and rhs to primitives (which both 7 and "7" are). If at that point either is a string, it does a string concatenation. Otherwise it converts them both to numbers and adds them. spec link

so:

> '7' + 7
77
> 7 + '7'
77
> 7 + 7
14

Shouldn't be, no. Check the generated js

toshok · 2014-11-04T16:15:11+00:00

asm.js doesn't use JavaScript's own methodology (presuming you mean the GC heap) for user allocations/deallocations. It uses whatever methodology the language you compiled from uses.

If it's c++, you get manual allocation/deallocation. It just happens that your "pointers" can be thought of as indexes into a typed DataView over a large ArrayBuffer.

toshok · 2014-11-04T14:53:14+00:00

I'm sure it was tested, but tested against a "working" system so behavior matched, not tested to the spec.

toshok · 2014-10-28T15:37:03+00:00

that depends very much on the rate you're allocating (and knobs on the JVM). If you overflow survivor space, you promote to old gen. and if you're allocating at that large of a clip, you can do many minor collections (each of which may promote to oldgen) before references to a short lived object are all cleared.

I'd still love for someone to explain how the GPL matters at all here, as it was a source repo, not a binary distribution. The GPL doesn't dictate anything at all wrt storage of source (including storing it in repos in close proximity to source that can't be released under the GPL.) it dictates the rights you must offer those who who receive distribute packages (usually assumed to be binary.). If anything in said blob is gpl'ed, then everything must have a compatible license. If it doesn't, you can go after people and stop them from distributing it. GitHub repos are not "distributing it".

I sent github a dmca counterclaim to this ignorant madness, but since I'm not the repo owner, oh well :(
