Sights






A rock carving at Tanum



The rock carvings at Tanum have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The heritage area is located around the seat of Tanumshede, covering an area of 18 km2.


Most carvings show men and ships. Several show animals such as oxen and horses.






Allestorp



Tanum Municipality has made its rock carving the subject of its coat of arms.


The Greby grave field, the largest grave field in Bohuslän, lies near the locality of Grebbestad.


Tanum is one of the first municipalities to require urine-separation toilets to help combat the looming global shortage of phosphorus. Urine is the most concentrated source of phosphorus according to Associate Professor Cynthia Mitchell, of the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).

Extract Id from Twitch Clip URL

Extract Id from Twitch Clip URL How can I extract the Id of a Twitch Clip URL. Example: https://clips.twitch.tv/KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll?some=1 I need only the Id part, for example: https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1 https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1 The Id in the top example is KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll . Any query string if comes after should be ignored and not be part of the Id. KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll I tried: MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(url, @"^(https://clips.twitch.tv/)(?:(?!http).)*?"); But I wasn't able to capture the Id in a group.

Why are these constructs (using ++) undefined behavior in C?

Why are these constructs (using ++) undefined behavior in C? #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int i = 0; i = i++ + ++i; printf("%dn", i); // 3 i = 1; i = (i++); printf("%dn", i); // 2 Should be 1, no ? volatile int u = 0; u = u++ + ++u; printf("%dn", u); // 1 u = 1; u = (u++); printf("%dn", u); // 2 Should also be one, no ? register int v = 0; v = v++ + ++v; printf("%dn", v); // 3 (Should be the same as u ?) int w = 0; printf("%d %d %dn", w++, ++w, w); // shouldn't this print 0 2 2 int x[2] = { 5, 8 }, y = 0; x[y] = y ++; printf("%d %dn", x[0], x[1]); // shouldn't this print 0 8? or 5 0? } Homework? Not trying to be a pain, but you should never write code with expressions like these. They are usually given as academic examples, sometimes showing that different compilers yield different output. ...
