I take it you haven't seen Humans Need Not Apply? It's a good 15-minute overview of the coming automation boom, and explains why the jobs that are going to be lost won't be coming back, and the people who lose them won't necessarily find something new to do for work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You know what happens when you're offended?

Leprosy. You get Leprosy.

and in some cases, people do kill or commit crimes based on it.

Like ... firebombing a Trump HQ office? The problem is, that certain people claim "violence" is a response to hate speech, but instead of blaming the alt-left, they're likely to blame Trump for the firebombing. They're the same kind of person who blames rape victims because of the clothes she wears.

being intimidated by hateful speech infringes

The only people NOT being intimidated by the Alt-Left are alt-left. IF Intimidation is the requirement, then the real hate speech is that which wants to ban "hate speech". Nobody is really intimidated by WBC or the KLAN, because they are small and ineffectual. They exist, and have a right to exist, if only to show how stupid they are. But they are just as stupid as the Politically Correct Snowflakes who are "offended" by chalk marks on sidewalks. The problem is, there are way more snowflakes than WBC and Klansmen.

I hope you wake up with leprosy.

But they're inciting riots and blocking freeways.

The modern left are fascists. The Podesta emails prove they own the media and the whole show is staged, the undercover videos prove they're using threats and violence to intimidate their political opposition (and in an organized, directed fashion), and now they've got their own Kristallnacht firebombing the opposition's political organizations. This is the part where you're supposed to say "Are we the baddies?"

It's wrong when people get hurt. See here Alex Jones caught on tape planning terror attacks against Clinton rally: video link.

That video link shows the opposite of what you claim.

A new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action shows how Democratic-aligned organizations used a tactic called 'bird-dogging' to incite violence and chaos at Trump rallies for media consumption. A key Clinton operative is captured on camera saying, "It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this motherfucker."

The announcement to resign of Liz Wahl was lived air, without being interrupted. And, RT claimed that she is a "mole", just staged a plan to show RT is a propaganda network.
Another reporter, but less of attention is Abby Martin, because she did not resign and RT did not fire her.

Monty Python's Prejudice

IIRC, a freestanding implementation still has to provide 'new', 'delete' and exceptions, none of which are capable within the avr-gcc + atmega328 that the arduino uses (last I checked, anyway).

With exceptions: yes. I thought I read somewhere that had been done. Apparently not.

With new, that's only sort of true. The compiler provides new and delete as operators, but you'll get a link error since there's no runtime for them. You can of course few trivial functions along the lines of:

void* operator new(size_t s) noexcept { return nullptr; }

which fits the letter of the standard.

I doubt it - the standard specifies the behaviour of new, The type of free store management you want on an AVR is almost certainly domain specific anyway.

The compiler also certainly supports placement new.

Without exceptions you'd be awfully stupid to use constructors/destructors (can't return error values!)

Depends on what you mean by "awfully stupid". It's very rare that throwing from a destructor is a good idea.

It's very common to throw from a constructor. In fact, that's the only way to signal an error in the constructor.

There's also no harm in using constructors which have no error condition. There's not much problem with failing to acquire resources: all resources on such small devices are entirely statically determined.

Memory, certainly. Nothing else, though. In embedded devices memory is statically allocated, but there are multiple *other* resources which can fail. Putting the initialisation in the constructor of a class while not being able to catch exceptions mean that the caller has no way to tell if a device is ready.

For all practical purposes, you would not be able to use classes because creation/destruction would occur without the user knowing about it.

I don't see why that's a problem.

It' a problem because double-initialisation (or double de-initialisation) of attached hardware almost always results in errors. An initialisation that occurs more than once is an error. Any initialisation needs to return error or success. Lacking exceptions, you can't put anything important in a constructor or a destructor.

So, sure, you can use classes, if you restrict yourself to classes with no exceptions, which means not using anything that relies on exceptions to signal errors. So, yeah, C++ works fine in embedded if you don't use constructors, destructors, overloaded operators, object assignment, object-as-parameters in function calls... probably a few other things too.

IOW, as long as you use a *subset* of C++.

Anyway, if you want a well-reasoned example, then there's this talk from the recent C++ conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The guy writes a simple Pong for his Commodore 64 using C++17, and keeps rather close track of the asm code being generated. He uses classes, constructors, destructors, lambdas, templates and compile-time computation.

Very unimpressing indeed. The C64 had a ton of impressive software - a spreadsheet, first-person-view mazes, platformers... and yet using C++ he could only fit a pong clone into it? This example is a case *against* C++, not for it. FWIW, I wrote a pong clone for the C64 when I was 10, and I recall taking a single weekend to do it, using a fraction of the available ram. Why not compare the C++ pong with the existing pong binaries for the C64?

One of the prevailing ideas among the regressive left is the idea that all people are blank slates and that absolutely every disparity between different any distinct group in society is cultural. Some would go as far as to claim that male upper body strength is purely the result of "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchal norms" which drive young boys to train obsessively and that is the only reason they develop much stronger than girls.

SJWs are basically the left's creationists.

This is one of the things I find the most annoying about Trump's detractors. They stick labels on shit that make no fucking sense.

Is Trump bigoted? Yes.
Is Trump xenophobic? Yes.
Is Trump islamophobic? Yes.
Is Trump sexist? Yes.
Is Trump racist? No.
Is Trump homophobic? No.

But yet he gets accused of the later two often anyways. (No, I'm not a Trump supporter.)

What's especially annoying about it is that most of the time when the media (and/or social media) calls "racist", it actually isn't, and you roll your eyes, which makes it so that when actual racist things happen, you tend to just want to ignore it because they're probably either making shit up or grossly misinterpreting somebody's actions. Take this for example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You base that on your own biases, not on evidence. This is because evidence says that Hillary's team has been inciting violence here. I mean, we have videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And if you look up the woman in the video, well, you can see that she's on Hillary's payroll. I mean, unless you're going to say the FEC is lying now? Just look at how they paid her to be at the protests and what she did there:

https://beta.fec.gov/data/disb...

And here's the leak to tie it together: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-...

It's on video. We saw her in the Arizona protests, blocking the road. It was in the media. How, pray tell, are you going to make this one out to be a false flag?

George Soros-funded astroturfed doublespeak organization "Black Lives Matter" told me to call you a racist, whitey. MSNBC told me to let you know that you are a sexist for that comment. They also told me that Illery has already won this election. Let's go ahead and fasttrack the TP legislation so that our fine overlords can wipe our standards of living with their bungholes and keep us purchasing products from China and Thailand. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
 
  WE ARE THE PUPPPPPET PEOPLE

Hate symbols can be used to intimidate people and hurt them. But what's really wrong isn't the symbol itself per se, but the threat communicated by it. You've likely often heard some mishmash about not tolerating intolerance, often as a self-serving justification, but I doubt many people excusing themselves with it have even read anything by Karl Popper, so let's just quote him, shall we? I mean, he is the source of that particular idea, so maybe he knows a thing or two:

But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."

(emphasis added)

Thus we have self-appointed defenders of tolerance pulling this crap https://www.youtube.com/watch?... when the intolerance he was trying to defend us from was the use of violence to shut down ideas, which is a sad mockery of the ideals he promoted.

Here are the right people, people showing their disapproval of a Trump supporter.

Here is how I see UBI, of it is a modern version communism because it will require nationalization of resources and means of production.

If you don't see why that is ask yourself a question: if a productive person surrounded by a bunch of unproductive people is forced to pay gigantic income tax to support these unproductive people, the income tax that would 'put the money into the pockets' of those people he is forced to support, then where is the gain for that productive person?

Why would that productive person trade with people who are 'trading' with him with the money extracted from him?

Again, then why bother 'trading' with people who are not actually trading anything they produced for your goods and services? Instead the productive person would find a way to not trade with Americans and instead would make all of his income elsewhere, outside of American borders.

So then the Americans would not see that money and they would go after that productive person with the government armed to the teeth. Clearly the only way to force that person to 'trade' with the unproductive Americans at that point would be by force. The USA Government would have to force that person to trade with Americans in effect nationalizing the capital/assets/means of production.

We are talking full nationalization, from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.

As a person who wants to be free of collectivism and government oppression in general I cannot support any of this.

I do encourage watching this video, it's worth it.

Cheers.

Anything projected onto the Clintons could only make them appear better. Seriously, they are as low as it gets.

Dramatic Undercover Footage Shows Clinton Operatives Admit To Inciting "Anarchy" At Trump Rallies.

THIS is what the Clinton campaign does. Not too hard to believe these are the same types of agents she has working for her that pulled that terrorist firebombing of the GOP office.

Anyone who knows that this is how things work and STILL supports her, is a monster. Don't like Trump? Fine, don't vote for him. But if you vote for the DNC, you've got no morals. You are supporting evil.

Keep an eye on NBC's Matt Lauer. He apparently "embarrassed" Hillary by asking her an interview question that she wasn't fed the answer to ahead of time and she is furious about it and went on a tirade and screamed about having him fired.

Playing what? The "Call Trump Followers Racists" game? [yawn]

Trump's not a racist. You just have an uber-corrupt failure of a candidate that needs distraction.

Read this: http://spectator.org/64643_whe...

And watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And, of course, watch O'Keefe's releases this week as he proves that the DNC is fabricating all these claims of violence and racism just for bird dogs like you.

I understand that /. readers are not amused by videos much, however there is only a video form of this content, which I think is extremely relevant to the topic here and at least it should be interesting for those, who are capable of discerning details and nuance.

Unions, collectivism, government with its money and market manipulation have destroyed the savings in the USA, pushed the productive people out of the country and now they are calling for milking the remaining productive people so that whoever is still in the union can jump right from their 'ensured' job position to an ensured retirement.

This guys is no fool, he understands where the bread is buttered, he knows that his amazing skills are not what is required in the real productive world. What he does not understand is that the real productive world that still keeps feeding the USA to the tune of over 500,000,000,000 USD a / year (trade deficit) cannot actually be taxed to give him a cushy retirement.

Good luck with that idea though, you'll need all of these fantastic ideas when the dollar and the bond collapse. What would a USD denominated cheque buy you at that time? I am sure *you will get your cheques*, I just don't think you'll be buying much in terms of products for them because you are not producing anything of value and the only thing you have produced with your collectivism is destruction.

Very important to watch : Humans Need Not Apply by CGP Grey : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

While I don't agree with everything, I like that video since it states a fact : human productivity increases and AI is a real game changer, so human needs will likely not follow.

What I also like is that he doesn't try to draw conclusions. The conclusion "hence we need UBI" is missing a lot of details (how do we transition, how do we still keep human productive, will we be able to live without a goal or work ? ...).

But yes, we need to invent a new system. Not for tomorrow, but that will arrive quickly enough.

Trump is correct to be suspicious when there is actual video evidence of organized conspiracy to incite violence his events. So we know at least one side is likely to cause issues on election day.

When the means justifies the ends, there is every reason to be suspicious of election fraud. We've already seen the DNC conspire against Sanders in favor of Clinton, so I can only imagine that nothing is off the table as far as Trump is concerned. It seems highly likely in the wake of emailgate that the FBI or the DOJ would just look the other way.

understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Of course, when he finally does end up surrendered to Sweden, thiswill be my reaction.

Amazing that it didn't happen earlier...

I agree. Sadly, this is the atmosphere in many Western states. When citizen investigators infiltrated an animal processing plant in Idaho and came out with horrific footage of animal abuse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN_YcWOuVqk), the state's response was to pass a law not against animal abuse, but against exposing animal abuse. The law was drafted by the Idaho Dairymen's Association.

Happily, the law was later determined to be unconstitutional, but the point is, in the Western US, we're much more likely to attempt to abridge first amendment rights than to try to deal with the ugly problems that are revealed by reporting, whether it's a dairy worker sexually molesting a cow, or private security contractors settings dogs on protesters.

Stop In the Name of Law

Because a live performance, by a living human being, in front of an audience of living human beings is based on the performer's ability to interact with and perform in front of said audience.
I.e. To stand in front of and be observed by thousands of people.
Which is about as private as standing naked in the middle of a panopticon, and yelling so everyone can also hear you.

The fact that those people paid the toll to do that doesn't make any of it more private or less exposing.
Hell... Jim Jeffries got punched in the head by an audience member.
He later took the video of the event and included in his material - instead of demanding it be erased from the internet, because privacy.
Even though it is unflattering AND though he makes some bigoted statements about Irish in the "punch video".

Then again... he's not the kind of guy who would get a nervous breakdown and run away to Africa because he got paranoid about people wanting to see him in a dress or a kinda guy who'd file DMCA requests on account of being fat in a photo.

What about autopilot for boats? Or a quadcopter autopilot? Sometimes it is the exact same autopilot hardware and software used on some hobby RC cars.

People are scared of random things. I drive a diesel car (in the US) and can't count how many times people have showed grave concerns about my ability to find fuel.

~700 miles (1100 km) per tank I think I should manage to find a station that carries diesel.

I think concerns are driver dependent. I used to know someone who would only fill up $10 cash at every fill up and seem to revel in getting near empty. Basically he was Kramer on Seinfeld's "The Dealership" episode. If he had a diesel car, I'm sure there would be grave concerns about his ability to find fuel...
