Even if you do have an MMU, there's no guarantee that you'll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they're not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

Compare with the yearly release cycle on cars.

Like any other convention, it's not really a big deal either way. Fortran gets along just fine with 1-indexing.

802.11ax, clients just... (essentially) wait for a random amount of time, listen for a break in the signal, and take a leap of faith.

Ethernet originally worked the same way, back when it competed directly against token ring. Ethernet won by being as reliable in real world scenarios while being cheaper to build out. Gigabit Ethernet was the first standard that insisted on full duplex only.

Half duplex mode with the collision avoidance is still actively supported for 10/100, but it is becoming very hard to find an unswitched hub. So you may have to write up your own twisted pair cables.

Really I worked a project once that just had post-its stuck to the wall. It worked as well as Jira does.

You forgot the "... Or I'll break your kneecaps."

What they're saying is this:

  1. That land used to have nothin much on it, so it was cheap land, and the property taxes were low.
  2. 30 million was spent on building the private wall. I don't think this money came from the land owner. (This is the crowd funded Trump Wall, right?)
  3. With the fancy new wall on it, the property is now appraised at around 20 million (or maybe whatever it was plus 20 million). Whether it's 75 times or 100 times what it was before is not super important. The point is it went from not much to quite a bit.
  4. Property taxes went up in accordance with the new valuation.
  5. Property owner is probably not wealthy enough to pay the taxes, so big picture he can't continue to own the property.

Wait. Did you really mean "decreasing" rather than "desecrating"? Because that's hilarious.

Most games I've seen, nobody ever horse trades for color groups.

Complex deals and negotiations, land swaps, leveraged buyouts, and free rent passes, are all supposed to be part of the game. Getting a color group solely by landing on the spaces first and buying them for list price is indeed rare, by design.

This leads to my other pet peeve... You're not supposed to have enough money to go around the board the first time and buy every space you land on at the list price. You're supposed to be forced to make strategic decisions from the beginning of the game about what you go for, and what you bid in the auctions.

Most of the made up "house rules" are really about circulating more money into the game than is supposed to be there.

You should also know that because of jail and various other teleports, the orange group is the most popular group on the board. It's something like 1.8 times the average to land on those spaces, because two of them are 6 and 8 spaces from jail. Jail is a very popular space because Go To Jail also counts as Jail.

Boardwalk has very high rents, but it's also pretty unpopular to land on.

The worst rent-to-popularity values are yellow and green.
