strcat() & strcpy() works even if enough memory is not allocated
Why does this intentionally incorrect use of strcpy not fail horribly?
I downloaded and installed Ubuntu from the official site. However, I don't know if I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version.  In Windows 7 I could right click My Computer and it listed which version it was.  Is there an easy way to check in Ubuntu? Death in SAO before Kayaba announcement I was wondering if in the novel we knew about some deaths occurring before Kayaba announcement. I remember that in the anime, Kirito plays a bit with Cline before realizing that the log off option has disappeared. Then all the people are summoned to the city and learn about the fact that if they die in the game, they also die in real life.  I don't remember any players dying before the announcement in the anime, except for those who are not waking up and their relative pulling off their NerveGear thus causing death, but maybe in the light novel, some guys died without even knowing it just while being defeated by a mob (which seems awful for me).  Do we know about some players dying before that while thinking they are still in a normal game? independent variables in Random forest model How to load and parse SVG documents Got a new iPhone - where am I supposed to receive the verification code? I am working on refactoring some old code and have found few structs containing zero length arrays (below). Warnings depressed by pragma, of course, but I've failed to create by "new" structures containing such structures (error 2233). Array 'byData' used as pointer, but why not to use pointer instead? or array of length 1? And of course, no comments were added to make me enjoy the process...  Any causes to use such thing? Any advice in refactoring those?  struct someData {    int nData;    BYTE byData[0]; }   NB It's C++, Windows XP, VS 2003 I`m using the Newton-Raphson method for obtaining MLE for parameters for maximizing my objective function. At each iteration, I want to check that is the Hessian matrix negative definite or not and I see the Hessian matrix is not negative definite at some iterations. So, I want to use the Fisher scoring algorithm ( of derivation) In this situation, the Fisher information matrix is indefinite!! Is it possible? What are the reasons for this? Are the second-order derivatives wrong? Or are values of expectations incorrect? How can I balance uniformity of style files against modularity? I'm using Windows/TeXworks/MiKTeX, and I would like to have one style file I can use anywhere in any document in my top-level folder. If I want to add a new command or renew an old one, I'd like that to be available in all documents recursively contained in my top-level folder. I have a very hierarchical structure to my top-level folder. So this would seem to point to having a single file that TeXworks knows about. Could I add a path in Preferences -> Typesetting -> Paths for TeX and related programs? I've tried that, possibly superficially, without any success. Adding the correct folder to the Windows PATH variable doesn't seem to do the trick, either.   On the other hand, suppose I want to send someone a TeX file? It would be nice in such circumstances to be able to have the style file in the same folder as the TeX file. If I do that, how could I ensure that it's always up-to-date? Is there a script available somewhere that could take my master style file and push it down to all pre-existing lower-level locations?   Just to reiterate: I want uniformity of my style files in my very hierarchical folder structure. However, I would also like modularity, in that each folder is self-contained. How can I achieve that?  Also, out of curiosity, since I may acquire a Linux computer soon, how would I do this in, say, *ubuntu with TeXlive? Run Script on Wakeup?

I'm trying to create an item that can break certain blocks, but also has a colored name in 1.13.2   Here's the command I'm using.  /give iAugust minecraft:shears{display:{Name:"[{\"text\":\"Arcane Shears\",\"color\":\"aqua\",\"italic\":false,\"bold\":false}]CanDestroy:[minecraft:iron_bars]"}}   But it only has a colored name, and it can't break specific blocks. I updated MacOS Sierra's Apache and PHP, and now whenever I $ sudo apachectl restart I get this:  AH00557: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for My-MacBook-Pro.local AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1.

Debian 10 systemd, how to disable autostart of graphical environments I installed a graphical environment on a server and I have decided that I no longer want to run that environment at boot.

Uh, how do I get there? In the iOS app, pulling up a question from the feed gives the standard question view, which provides no means of navigating elsewhere on that site, either to browse or search. This should be changed for feed questions.  For example, I tapped on a highlighted Seasoned Advice question today, and found that I wanted to make a comment pointing to a related question on the site. The best way I could think of finding that post was to leave the app and use my browser. Then I came back with the link to copy-paste in.  Similarly, a question in the feed might be so intriguing that I want to look around for more cool stuff on the site. That requires two taps back and then a search via the "All Sites" menu item.  I'd suggest that questions selected from the feed should get a special header bar (or maybe stuck in between the questions and the answers) that provides a "More posts!" link at least to the site's top view; ideally there would also be a search field that could pop out of it.  Another possibility that would work pretty well, although it's a small tap target on a phone, would be to link the site name that appears under the question title to the site's top view. Could someone please tell me what the symbol ringed in red represents?     I know it has ON Switch pointing to it, but the symbol has other lables in different parts of the document. How can I prove these are the adjoint operators?
