Recently moved to Virginia and discovered Wegmans. Experienced a similar food-shopping nirvana two years prior when I'd moved to Brooklyn and discovered Fairway.
Sundays are a cooking day for my significant other and I as well. In maybe 3 hours of cooking, we've got lunches for the week covered. Bulk brown rice, even in Whole Foods, is cheap and healthy. Dress it up with cherry tomatoes, olives, chopped almonds, feta, and chopped cucumber and you've got healthy yuppie salad that keeps for the whole week.
We don't have kids, but when we do, we'll damn well TEACH them how to cook healthy meals as soon as it's safe to do so (knives and hot surfaces + younguns don't mix)
Really, you think pacifists (or whatever your preferred brand of idealist) are the only ones with ideals?
How naive.
Don't understand why you're modded +5 insightful for a snarky, holier-than-thou insult that puts words into the parent's mouth. Mods must be feeling particularly fiendish today.
You must be from one of those NASCAR states. Tell me, does your tricked out ricer represent your entire self-worth or is it just your penis extension?
Try to understand, it's just a machine. It does not represent your freedom. It does not represent your manhood. It does not represent your security. It gets you from point A to point B. Anything else you attribute to it is a perversion.
Sure, it may be silly law, but the of self-righteous knee-jerk reactions from motor-dicks proclaiming "you can have my black, finned, ground-effected WRX when you pry it from my cold dead hands!" just illustrates the dysfunctional relationship America has with its cars.
Nonsense. 'r' has, indeed, been initialized. That you've initialized it with an invalid object makes 'r' no less initialized.
Additional compile-time checking is done on references that are not done on pointers. This is enough to call into question the OP's statement that the differences between pointers and references are 'purely syntactical'. That has been my beleaguered point all along.
Smug programmers who "break" references with cleaver code only demonstrate that they don't understand references and does not devalue the compile-time protection that references provide. The longer the myth that references and pointers are the same is perpetuated, the longer those programmers will wallow in ignorance.
I never said you couldn't have a null-reference. I only refuted the statement that the difference was "nothing that a * or an & won't fix".
So please demonstrate, using all the *'s and &'s you like, an example of an uninitialized C++ reference or a reference that is changed to reference another object.

I would mod this up if I had the points.

Maybe it's because CA is in the middle of a years-long DROUGHT? Hmm?

That's it people, the Earth is fraked. The Vogon demolition fleet must be on its way.

I'm surprised no one beat me to it. I guess all the real geeks are out drinking 3.14 PInts of PIlsner in celebration.
