Hi all,
Sorry this is a bit off-topic... but I do write a good amount of C code on
my laptop so there is a link...
Basically, it's a question about laptop batteries. About ten days ago, I
switched off my laptop with the battery fully charged. I haven't touched
it since then. This morning I turned it on, and the battery was
practically empty.
Is this a fault with the battery, or will a rechargable battery naturally
lose its charge over time even if it's not used? If so, how many days does
it take for the charge to seep away?
Thanks.

All batteries will discharge gradually with time. The rate of discharge
you describe sounds pretty fast to me, though - is it a very old
battery? But in any case it wouldn't really surprise me... I don't have
much faith in most laptop suppliers to produce high-quality batteries.

About ten days, apparently.
A new battery should not do this. If it is less than a year old take it
back. If it's older, then you have answered your own question.

Forget your laptop.
The Lexmark Model M, is the best keyboard for writing C code. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard
I'm using a 59G7980, right now.
I've got also got 1390131 and three 1391401's.

It's like "the smell of napalm in the morning".
It all depends on what mental association you make with it.
I don't have to bottom out the keys to type,
so I never come anywhere near approaching jamming my knuckles.
Every time I use a keyboard that isn't a Model M, I wish it was.
What kind of shoes do you like best for wearing while C coding?
I prefer something without laces;
that makes it easy to slip them off and on, unobtrusively.

I don't have strong feelings about shoes - do you think it makes a
difference? Normally I just wear whwatever's comfortable for going
around town, soft leather lace-ups.

The article I read is from
www.hakin9.org/en/attachments/stackoverflow_en.pdf.
And you're right. I don't know it very clearly. And that's why I want
to understand it; for it's useful to help me to solve some basic
problem which I may not perceive before.
I appreciate your help,
sincerely.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
