hey I just learned about yet another extremely fucked up thing about the state of israel: the concept of a “present absentee”

free idea for a blog/twitter account/youtube channel: “new hardware or just raspberry pi”. it would take apart cool new gadgets and find out whether there's a raspberry pi inside. because oh boy there's a lot of gadgets like that

what… early versions of C had min and max operators. the symbols were \/ and /\ respectively. why did they remove these… we must go back

anyone else feel like Stockholm (1986) is just far too easy for a Hitman level? what were IOI even thinking :/ I mean you can literally shoot the target point-blank while in your suit then run away from the crime scene

The Fortran I compiler would expand each operator with a sequence of parentheses. In a simplified form of the algorithm, it would

• replace + and – with ))+(( and ))-((, respectively;
• replace * and / with )*( and )/(, respectively;
• add (( at the beginning of each expression and after each left parenthesis in the original expression; and
• add )) at the end of the expression and before each right parenthesis in the original expression.

Although not obvious, the algorithm was correct, and, in the words of Knuth, “The resulting formula is properly parenthesized, believe it or not.”[8]

interesting to think about what would have happened if a seriously left-wing government won an election in a western european country during the cold war. the cia had set up stay-behind groups, so…
