A metric that features a poll about popular languages is already about future use, since most programmers NOW mostly bleat about what next gen language they are testing to use (while they run production with anything considered non-sexy, including VB, VBScript and Cobol).

If you have to create and maintain your remote options yourself?

And per unique set of lines. Makefile and directories with js contains a lot boilerplate the same code.

Gaius Julius (Caesar) had Julius (Jullii) as family name, and as such it was subject to declension and other changes.

Duh!

It seems it's the MPI functions only that are subject to this optimization, not the normal FP ones. My guess is that these aren't even used for soft floating point on FPU limited systems (since adding the exact size of the a FP type allows writing more efficient routines).

So the impact is very low I guess.

Get a hp48 and load the ROM into x48?

Smart, probably preparing for an insanity defense.

He means that a business should hold its own belt up, and not be financed via the government by allocation of taxes.

In short, charge toll and let them pass the charge on to consumers via their products/services pricing.. That's the capitalistic way, not the commie state taking taxes from personal traffic and going light on business driving. (that being said, in Europe it is the same. Consumers pay much more for driving (gas taxes and direct road taxes) than business drivers)

That being said, I would argue that normal erosion factors (like rain/flood/freezing) are a bigger factor than 1%

Highspeed trains are mostly interesting for midlong distances (till 1000 km), and specially from urban center to urban center.

1) trains are faster.
2) but more importantly trains still move reasonably fast in and near urban centers
3) While budget flights (if they happen to go from/to where you want) are cheaper they often require extended checkin times and airport to center commute negating time advantages

Note that the TGV network stretches into neighboring countries like Belgium and Germany (e.g. Aachen) too, and connects to German ICE. The Netherlands have a branch too, but it is not running full speed yet. The Netherlands and Belgium are much smaller than France, but more densely populated.

PAE is mostly for kernels and a few select apps that page out buffers (like SQL Server). It is not a general flat >4GB memory space for applications.

And yes I remember how it was with the 8086. Which is why I try to forget segmentation for general purpose programming :-)

Emacs is a great OS, but IMHO the editor sucks.

While I mostly use Firefox, I have an old mac mini, and there I use the 3rd party "Keep firefox working on PowerPC, because they won't" TenFourFox
