2014/1/14-2/5 [Computer/SW/Languages/C_Cplusplus] UID:54763 Activity:nil | 1/14 Why is NULL defined to be "0" in C++ instead of "((void *) 0)" like in
C? I have some overloaded functtions where one takes an integer
parameter and the other a pointer parameter. When I call it with
"NULL", the compiler matches it with the integer version instead of
the pointer version which is a problem. Other funny effect is that
sizeof(NULL) is different from sizeof(myPtr). Thanks.

2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually
bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
This makes using emacs a real pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
(Other than "use vi")

number of parameters in order to pass the variable parameters to
another function that also has variable number of parameters? Thanks.
\_ The usual way (works on gcc 3.0+, Visual Studio 2005+):
#define foo(fmt, ...) printf(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
The cool new way (works on gcc 4.3+):

on to soda. Does that page still exist? Can someone remind me of the
URL please? Thx.
\_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
\_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
that implemented an ssh v1 client. I think this page went away

2012/9/6-11/7 [Computer/SW] UID:54473 Activity:nil | 9/6 Why is it that many of the PhDs I know write some of the shittiest
and unreadable and unmaintainable code?
\_ "I don't know what your problem is, it works on my machine."
\_ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct,
not tried it." - D. Knuth

2012/7/2-8/19 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54429 Activity:nil | 7/2 If I download a software that has GNU GPL and create a search
engine on top of it and the search engine profits (and I don't
release the source code nor do I modify or redistribute it), is
that an acceptable use of GNU GPL?
\_ Yes. Even the AGPL allows this if you don't modify the program.

good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video

\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.
