Those articles appear to discuss the *user* setting quick removal. I believe the OP is about MS making quick removal the *default* starting with Windows 10 1809.
And especially watch Mr. Meyers's talk "The Last Thing D Needs" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48kP_Ssg2eY). tl;dw version: The last thing D needs is to require someone like Scott Meyers; don't make D so perversely convoluted that one can make a living explaining it to people.
C++ has made the same choice over and over again: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
"And [Stroustrup] said “no” to no one. He put every feature in that language that ever existed. It wasn’t cleanly designed—it was just the union of everything that came along." --Ken Thompson
A teacher whose name I've forgotten but to whom I am very much indebted suggested that I go to a series of lectures and hands-on sessions at the University of Oklahoma in the spring of 1971. I was in tenth grade.
On Saturdays we were guided through BASIC and the fundamentals of numerical analysis by Professor Richard Vernon Andree, and one evening a week we could sit at one of four ASR-33 Teletypes connected to a Data General Supernova running a time-shared BASIC. It changed my life. In my junior year, not having access to a computer, I wrote programs in a notebook, which I wish I still had. As a senior I took vo-tech and learned about unit record machines, the RCA 301, and then RPG on an IBM 370. I never looked back.
No, it's not. e17, despite its long stay in "alpha" stage, has been quite usable for years. The clusterflop that is GNOME 3 finally pushed me from experimenting with e17 to moving to Bodhi Linux and using e17 pretty much full time.
Actually that's not true (about what Ubuntu recommends). From https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit: "Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit to utilise the full capacity of your hardware."
In C, it's pretty simple, though of course if you want a discriminated union you'll probably end up stuffing it into a struct along with a field that tells you how to interpret the union.
I can't let you order that pizza. You're overweight. Do you really want directions to Hooters, Dave? What would your wife think? "Spanish Sky" is a sad song, and you just cancelled a reservation for two. I will play you something happy.
A nanny state is bad enough. I don't want a nanny phone.
I think that we will end up with individual reporters posting to the web, supported by subscription. If you have access to a copy of Marc Stiegler's Earthweb, read it, paying particular attention to the part where the reporter interviews "The Predictor".
For heaven's sake, PLEASE adopt the WebOS UI. It is easy to use and intuitive. Let the Android UI die the death it overwhelmingly deserves.
I recently went to the local Sprint store to ask whether the batteries on my wife's and my HTC Evo 4G need replacement. In passing asked the tech what things I could do to extend battery life, in particular how I could avoid leaving apps running. Here's what I was told: "If you leave an app by hitting the 'home' button, it will keep running. If you leave it with the back arrow button, it will shut down." I've been training myself to do that, and what a proctalgia it is, especially with the web browser and apps that invoke it! (Do I really have to back all the way out of the sequence of pages I've viewed, potentially reloading graphics or Flash animations?) With WebOS, it's easy--if an app has a window, it has a process. Flick the window up and off the screen, and you're telling it to shut down.
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."
Now, you may think the law should demand more. I would disagree with you. I don't resent Apple their ability to avoid taxation, any more than I would resent a friend who managed to escape a thief or mugger with minimal damage or loss.
Mr. Stephenson, you're just part of a much larger bunch. Technophobic literature and movies have been around for a long time. The mad scientist has been a stock character since Frankenstein, and these days he's usually combined with today's other knee-jerk evildoer, the businessman. George Lucas wanting to show technology defeated by cute, fuzzy little commercial tie-ins probably had a lot more effect than your writings--again, with all due respect, and no indication of relative quality implied.
How many films these days are masturbatory fantasies for the greens? Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Day After Tomorrow, The Hunger Games.... or TV series, like the History Channel's Life After Humans.
All that said, you're right to the extent that you're certainly not helping. Once upon a time, Lloyd Biggle Jr. accurately said, as best I can recall, "Given a bunch of people in a sewer, mainstream literature will lovingly describe those who are content to stay there. Science fiction will write about those trying to get out." That's at best less true than it was.
Ada Lovelace, judging by portraits, was no slouch for looks. I vaguely recall reading secondary sources, but I can't cite them. Ditto for Sonja Kovalevsky (for her, there's photographic evidence).
That said, you're right. Beauty doesn't matter in this context.
Those private entities would have the ultimate accountability--parents could take their children elsewhere and tell said entities where to go... as opposed to the current situation.
Funny how, here on Slashdot where there's so much concern about MS's monopoly status and freedom of choice for computing, very few either notice or care about the government's effective monopoly on grade school education.

If you want to see review bombing, just google "captain marvel" "i'll make it very simple and clear".
Already being worked on. Google "Momentum Machines".
My favorite is how you append a value to a vector. push_back?!

The key word: "countless".

Enjoying Bodhi Linux; e17 is very nice. Glad to hear about GNOME 3.8 and "classic mode", but I have no great urge to try it out. Perhaps someday.
No, it's not. e17, despite its long stay in "alpha" stage, has been quite usable for years. The clusterflop that is GNOME 3 finally pushed me from experimenting with e17 to moving to Bodhi Linux and using e17 pretty much full time.
Muerte is the noun, death. You want the second person singular affirmative imperative of morir, which I think would be muere.

Darn! I forgot to add ["Don't Worry, Be Happy" starts to play] to the last one. :(

From TFE (email): "Within the constraints I have, what should I and perhaps other NVIDIA employees be contributing to in the kernel?"
I suspect those constraints essentially preclude what would really be useful, so what's the point?
