It was not randomly decided. Even before arrays as a language concept existed, you would just store objects in continuous memory.

To access you would do $addr+0, $addr+1 etc. The index had to be zero-based or you would simply waste the first address.

Then in languages like C that just got a little bit of syntactic sugar where the '[]' operator is a shorthand for that offset. An array is still just a memory address (i.e. a pointer).

How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Steam might be able to fix those. But I don't know if that would work with varnish on the wood.

Ich durfte mit 18 auch nicht wählen, sondern erst mit 21 (Bundestagswahl). Hat deshalb jemand einen Artikel für mich geschrieben? Nein.

No idea of biotech but I have seen Thought Emporium and "Gatorade" is accurate.

Weiter oben gibt es einen Kommentar zu "Kinderbuchautor heißt, er kann sich einfach verständlich ausdrücken" (paraphrasiert). Wäre ja bei Trump eine äußerst wichtige Kompetenz.

I'm not from the US, but isn't the smallest coin a 1-cent coin?

Was das Recht auf Reparatur bedeutet in c/dach@feddit.org

[–] Username@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Angemessener Preis müsste ja eigentlich durch den Neupreis gedeckelt sein. Das heißt ich kann alle Ersatzteile für ein Gerät für den gleichen Preis wie ein neues Gerät kaufen. Mit X% Toleranz meinetwegen und Versand kommt natürlich auch drauf, aber grundsätzlich würde damit eine komplett unwirtschaftliche Reparatur verhindert.

TIL there are approximately 13 sextillion transistors in existence in c/til@lemmy.world

The numbers are totally off though.

A current-gen iPhone SoC (or CPU, the sources are not very clear), nhas about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.

IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.

Comparing source code sizes is completely meaningless. Rust projects are usually smaller with far more granular dependencies.

You're not wrong in the long term. But in the short term, people will park anywhere possible close to the shop, blocking everywhere near with cars.
