For C that's a perfectly reasonable use of goto. For C++ you should use unique_ptr or wrap your resource in your own object that you can stack allocate. RAII is a very nice pattern in C++.
The other downside to make_shared is that I don't think there's an equivalent to std::nothrow, so you must have exceptions enabled to use it and handle out-of-memory conditions.
Most of the stuff in C++11 isn't really new, a lot of it has been in Boost for a very long time. A lot of it is also stuff for safety that doesn't affect the binary - like the override keyword. Avoiding it because it's new is really just saying you're not willing to learn.
There are foreign versions. I can't speak to the telemetry but you'll know you're on a European version if a fresh install does not have Edge pinned to the taskbar by default.
This behavior is only on Android and chromecast. IOS, OSX, windows, even the netflix client on my Sony Blu-ray player and Wii don't do the same thing. I highly doubt netflix is responsible.
Google does the same thing. Both Android devices and chromecast ignore the DNS in the DHCP negotiation and use Google DNS servers at least for netflix. This makes it more difficult to use DNS-based region modifiers like unblock-us, since you have to block 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 at the router.
Not true. There may be things in the kernel that could be in user space, or in a kmod, or done in a driver. Linus is concerned about the code that 100% of Linux users are required to have, not the stuff that can be easily added or removed from an install.
Try searching for 'windows update' that way. On my Win10 box it doesn't show. If I search in the main screen of the control panel it still doesn't show even though it's right there on the fucking screen! Somehow they managed to royally screw up search in this release.
High end 4 wheel drive cars can already detect the difference between various conditions, and adapt the traction control to compensate. This will only get easier as cars have sensors for things like the temperature of the road.
The last 2 places I worked facebook and YouTube have been required for my job. One was working on firmware for a networking appliance, the other was an Internet security application. When a user calls in with a problem I need to be able to reproduce without jumping through some idiotic IT hoops, otherwise I'm wasting my time and the user's. Oh, and 1 of those companies was a company with over 100k employees, I very much doubt IT knew about every product the company created. Are you certain no one in your company, like maybe your social media manager, has a good reason to have open Internet access?
You see this a lot in Canada, where you generally have at least a couple choices of publicly-funded schools in any area. Catholic schools are considered slightly better than secular, and French are better than English (outside of Quebec and New Brunswick, anyway). The reason is just that the default choice is secular English. The more work the parents have to do to get their kid into a school, the more support there will be at home for the kid to succeed.
There are always rare cases where someone is declared legally dead before word reaches their body, sometimes by many years. There will also always be people who voted by mail then die before the election. It's possible the law they were debating was for these sorts of things.
Maybe an American can answer this for me: Why must a third party focus on the Presidency?
It seems like the easiest election to win would be in the house, and the balance between the current 2 parties is so tight that a handful of seats would provide a balance of power position to a third party, allowing them to push through some legislation, which may at least make the news before dying in the Senate. Why does this not happen?
You're kidding, right? About half the people I work with have at least 1 patent. Every large company brags about how many patents they have and every patent has a couple people listed as inventors. While patent numbers and titles should be on your resume, they don't differentiate you from anyone who worked at a company large enough to employ a team of lawyers whose job is to search for patentable work.
This is false. A pilot with a private (non-commercial) license may fly a passenger who reimburses them for the expenses of the flight, including plane rental and fuel. It doesn't become commercial until they make a profit.
Actually a search engine is one of the few things where the cost depends less on use and more on the amount of the Internet you would like to index. It takes a lot of storage and processing power to create an easily-searchable index of the Internet.
I've worked in companies from 80 people worldwide to over 100000 people worldwide, and I have never actually seen this. The process in every company I know is about the same. Your resume hits an HR person or recruiter, who does a very preliminary scan, and if your resume has one of the dozen-or-so skills we want your resume comes directly to the developer or manager who will be interviewing, in a pile with all the resumes who passed this filter. I once made the mistake of asking my HR person for the reject pile, as I couldn't believe how low the quality was in a stack of about 30 resumes. I spent half a day going through resumes that had so many typos they weren't understandable, had no indication the applicant had ever worked with a computer, or were so full of things that are illegal to consider for employment that they just scream 'interview me and get sued if you don't hire!' After that I have no desire to ever go through a reject pile ever again. If you can't get a resume past that filter you don't want to work for me, you will never be able to meet my communication expectations.
This isn't about the 'enlarge your penis' level of spam, this is about the website you gave your email to 5 years ago that still emails you daily with the broken unsubscribe link. This is about forcing companies to not be annoying and incompetent. After all, if they want to operate in Canada they should learn how to be polite.
I was actually thinking I could probably use this to overcome the region restrictions on my blu-ray player. This seems like the type of hack that is used by the owner of the device to do things Sony didn't want the player to do, not so much the make-this-device-a-bot type.

Yes, it takes a deleter function as an optional parameter, so it can be used for pretty much any resource.
For C that's a perfectly reasonable use of goto. For C++ you should use unique_ptr or wrap your resource in your own object that you can stack allocate. RAII is a very nice pattern in C++.

Apparently they're hard-coding some of the IPs, so the hosts file won't fix everything.

Someone used a hammer to drive a nail! We should ban hammers!

I see you've been reading my employment contract...
This is false. A pilot with a private (non-commercial) license may fly a passenger who reimburses them for the expenses of the flight, including plane rental and fuel. It doesn't become commercial until they make a profit.
So it's basically an extra-crappy pre-fab then?

I hear their shipping tends to damage the package contents, unfortunately.
