    You really don't understand this whole thing at all, do you? Or you do and that's why you posted as AC.

    That's not a problem with the language. It's a process problem. When management doesn't understand Fredrick Brooks all bets are off.

    No you don't. You never have enough time for those things, and management never says "oh ... it's dynamically typed? Feel free to spend extra time on code reviews then!"

    It has been well known that static typing reduces bugs for many, many decades. If they really thought they needed a study I wouldn't go putting any feathers in their cap.

    It has nothing to do with politics. I have known that Trump is a worthless loser and moron since reading The Art of The Deal, decades before everyone else found out.

    Ah ... but you are simply trying to divert everyone's attention from the fact that you can't even point to someone about whom we might have such an argument. My request is very reasonable. The claim is that ... everyone is running from Linux in droves! Surely you can point to someone who would at least support that claim on a minimally anecdotal level? I didn't think so.

  10. Lets start with the fact that compilers are highly complex beasts, and are never written "in reasonably portable C++, without undefined behavior or significant unspecified or implementation-defined behavior", and then add to that the fact that there is not a 1 to 1 mapping of source code to assembly. Each compiler will take a different approach to implementing the source as assembly, and indeed different compiler options and targets will change the resultant binary, often in radical ways. The same compiler may not even produce the same binary when compiling the same source every time you run it in fact (see also multi-threading.)

    There is a reason why you often here this old "all you have to do is ..." argument, but can't find an actual example of it ever having been done anywhere on the internet.

  11. I am not a water drinker as a rule at events, but I don't bring my own beverages either. Why? Because I like my beverages cold, and it is a lot more convenient to let the vendor handle that part of the equation. Indeed it is generally cheaper, and depending on how long the time span is between when I leave home and consume the beverage, it might not even be feasible to keep it cold that long.

  13. You may not know the name Fluffernutter, but it isn't uncommon. I'm pretty sure the GP picked his name because he is a fluffer who nuts while he is doing it though.

    It was always plausible. It seems you didn't read it or don't understand what you read.

  18. You don't have any understanding of how compilers work. I PROMISE you that the result will not be anything even close to identical binaries.

  19. Yes, many of us know about David Wheeler and his idea. Like so many ideas it works in theory, but not in practice. Trying to get the same source code to compile under different versions of GCC is hard enough. Getting it to compile in such a reflexive manner is not something that happens in reality I'm afraid.

    In that case I would find knowledge of quick and painless methods of suicide much more valuable, but YMMV. Note that you can't go weeks without potable water, so you would want to focus on that before the squirrel. Also, there are vegetarian solutions that would be much more viable, safe, and that would taste a hell of a lot better.
