Floating-point is deterministic. The same floating-point operations, run on the same hardware, always produces the same result. There is no black magic, noise, randomness, fuzzing, or any of the other things that people commonly attribute to floating-point. The tooth fairy does not show up, take the low bits of your result, and leave a quarter … Read more
The Debian Reproducible builds project attempts to standardize Debian packages byte-by-byte, and has received a Linux Foundation grant in 2016. While this may include more than compilation, you should have a look at it. It also pointed me to this article, which adds the following points to what @Employed said: put the source in a … Read more
δ is like a mathematical function called the transition function . Something like. z = f(x, y) A function in mathematical defines mapping of elements in one set to another set. In function set of input arguments are called Domain of a function and output is the rage. [ANSWER] In expression “δ:Q×Σ → Q”, … Read more
How to write regular expression for a DFA In any automata, the purpose of state is like memory element. A state stores some information in automate like ON-OFF fan switch. A Deterministic-Finite-Automata(DFA) called finite automata because finite amount of memory present in the form of states. For any Regular Language(RL) a DFA is always possible. … Read more
Straight from ECMA-334: 17.4.5.1: “If a static constructor (§17.11) exists in the class, execution of the static field initializers occurs immediately prior to executing that static constructor. Otherwise, the static field initializers are executed at an implementation-dependent time prior to the first use of a static field of that class.” And: 17.11: The execution of … Read more
Cantor pairing function is really one of the better ones out there considering its simple, fast and space efficient, but there is something even better published at Wolfram by Matthew Szudzik, here. The limitation of Cantor pairing function (relatively) is that the range of encoded results doesn’t always stay within the limits of a 2N … Read more
