ires

Some of them are insightful but ires one side without delighting the other.

It would be able to take itself to get its oil/ires serviced,to be recharged and to park somewhere cheap and out of the way.

I'm definitely onboard with the examples, where influential people's votes influence others, or an influential person votes against an expected outcome and draws ires.

Vulture funds are more likely to repossess houses in mortgage arrears and raise rents on buy to let properties (for example, Ireland's biggest landlord Ires Reit has raised rents substantially).

> Not a mod, but I'll take an educated guess that this is what ires someone: It was a simple question, I had the last 6-7 post immediately downvoted at zero points upon submission.

I think ultimately it stems from fear of a mob of riled people who could completely sully an organisation's reputation, and some organisations will accept the worst-possible intepretation of any statement and require mea-culpas, reparations, whatever, just in case standing their ground ires a mob.

Your example problem, taken from [0]: float frand( int *seed ) { union { float fres; unsigned int ires; }; seed[0] *= 16807; ires = ((((unsigned int)seed[0])>>9 ) | 0x3f800000); return fres - 1.0f; } You basically assemble a float building a random mantissa and assigning the right exponent and sign bits.

While those two definitely have a great lore and many active players, I have always loathed IREs pay to win "credits" style.

What ires me over this one is that they rationalize it by thinking "it´s green energy, so it´s not a problem if we waste it".

Don't get me wrong, I a happy Slichost customer and have made efforts to recycle and use public transport for the environment's sake since I was a child, but this recent rash of "green" buzzwording really ires me as it seems to be used in a most insincere and vapid manner, instead of people actually taking a rational, pragmatic approach to environmental efficiency.
