"network" not "domain", not what I meant at all.

A lot of wannabe netcops, too.

really?

IBM = Inadequate but marketable.

And those words in the early day of PC's were most likely accurate.

Since you appear to have coding skills in linux, I do have a question.. How are the API's indexed and searched ? In windows you use the name of a function and it returns a painter, you can also use an index to the table to fetch the pointer but that is bad practice and leads to failures when shared libs are updated.

How does the application index the lib at initiation? I sure hope it isn't hard coded in the apps as to where the functions start, that would be a problem with updates.

From the inside "I've been mislead."

Without marketing, nothing else matters.

"...the business enterprise has two -- and only two-- basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. " --Peter Drucker

that's kind of vague at some linking stage name becomes a symbol and the symbol ad address.

Mostly it doesn't that's what "ld.so" does. For plugins there's 'dlopen()' etc.

Indeed. Although there's money to be made in questioning Drucker's basic utilitarianism.

Only against that subset of humanity that codes in Java.

find /usr/include -name "*.h" | xargs grep "myEntryPoint"

Alternately, "man myEntryPoint"

Yeah, there are many books on the subject. ;-)

No. Doubt.

But at the same time. I look at Japan's anemic GDP growth since the '90s and wonder how much of that is Drucker.

Utilitarianism is subject to zero-sum ... problems. This looks like that. Er, a specific *sort* of Utilitarianism, of which we seem to have a lot these days.

Sorry, forgot where I was. What's the best diode for fiddy-nine cents?

Don't bother. Our krw doesn't understand that the two statements mean something different.

A "troll" is somebody who posts stuff that they don't believe in order to elicit outraged reactions. It looks more as if krw posts nonsense that he does believe, and is surprised by any outraged reactions.

He's probably not a troll. There'd be more hope for him if he were.

PS It is probably a divide by zero. You can get that with any size variable,. Normally that should cause an exception, It is possible python translates that exception to a nan. Does it initialize variables to zero?

Difficult to disagree.

The problem with this group is that there are occasional nuggets of useful expertise and information, but there's far much heat accompanying those beams of light.

The SNR is so low that it is barely worthwhile reading the group.

I'll modify that.

There are several participants, krw included, that can be useful. But for each one there appears to be an alter-ego that "is in need of a good ignoring", as you do with sulky children.

No. I meant "domain". I don't much care what you meant. If you don't want to be misunderstood, say what you mean.

No, Japan's problem is exactly the problem we've been having for the past eight years. Obamanomics.

Sure, it's the same problem but I don't see the "utilitarianism" connection. I see asinine "liberal" economics.
