This would presumably include any pointer dereferences where the compiler cannot prove that the pointer is always non null.


Rogan was interviewing Michael Osterholm, who seems to be of good reputation.


The Gloranthan take is that the Elves - Aldryami - are more-or-less human-shaped plants, making them rather weirder in a lot of ways than their high-IQ-long-lived-humanoid equivalents.


Nothing is sharable between Common Lisp and Scheme, either, but Scheme is generally considered a Lisp.


That used to be different. There were Scheme programs running in both Scheme and Common Lisp or moving between them. For example the Yale Haskell compiler was originally developed in a Scheme dialect called T and then moved to Lisp (here Common Lisp) by embedding a shallow compatibility layer in Lisp. Another example is Common Music, a music composition system, which ran for a while both in Scheme and CL. Scheme itself was originally a hosted program on top of Maclisp. A few more Scheme implementations were written and/or embedded in Lisp - for example the Scheme variants for Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter Playstation games were written in Common Lisp. The Scheme written by Peter Norvig was used in a content management system, embedded in CL.

Nowadays I don't think of Scheme as a mainline Lisp -> it moved from a close Lisp dialect to its own language with its own standards, books, user groups, libraries, implementations, applications, ...

But then you have to call vertical tab VT, and then you have no name for a virtual teletypewriter.

I don't think shedding ones britches has anything to do with Brexit, honestly, but if it helps you feel free, go right ahead.


Dictate our own immigration quotas, dictate who can fish in our waters, not subsidize Southern Europe, etc.


Imagine the chaos if she did take over and made a decision on Brexit one way or the other, though. Better to let the politicians take the heat.

The US first amendment is against Congress abridging the press as well as freedom of speech.

In addition, Milton's 1644 Areopagitica is meant to be an inspiration for the first amendment, and it is all about the need for freedom of the press.


... and then a movement was started in his name which resulted in big changes in how society worked, or at least changes in how the leaders had to act in public.


... and that movement was integrated into the establishment, first through Rome, then European and American imperialism, but the establishment continues to this day to be just as venal and corrupt as ever.


The temples no longer contain money changers, however.
