One thing has remained constant and that is C++. No reshuffling of syntax, but introductions of new syntax when library solutions do not go far enough. No fear of losing backwards compatibility either.
It's not senseless. C++ programs are written for systems intended to last a long time. So no one really wants to have their program suddenly uncompilable. Sure, they have no problem if changes are made that makes other people's projects uncompilable, but not their own. So when you factor in the fact that everyone uses C++ in a way that suits them, that means no breaking changes to the syntax can be made.
I would argue this would be C++'s strength for WebAssembly. Unlike with the Javascript, or even HTML situation, web developers finally have an environment where they don't have to cater for every breaking change. Your issue with Javascript is exacerbated by constant churn of incompatible upgrades. C++ does not have this problem and it's a good thing.
Yeah, because your average person has done time in their local improv theater group and knows how to act in an alarming situation.
Imagine cops burst into your house right now. You're telling me you'll be calm and collected in that situation? Maybe you are. But to demand that of everyone is just ridiculous. They're cops. They're paid and trained to handle these situations and should be held to a higher standard. As they are in saner developed countries.
The guy put his hands up when told to. Apparently he did it too fast, which looks as though "he's got a gun". This attitude of "cops should be treated like kings", which is essentially what you're arguing, is the problem here. Cops aren't soldiers. If the person is not complying, that is not a reason for killing them.
No, the moral of the story is no matter what you do, you're probably going to get killed by the police.
Don't comply immediately? Get killed. Comply too quickly? Get killed. Don't resist arrest? Get killed. Run away? Get killed. Unable to control your body's reaction to getting suffocated? Get killed.
Discerning intent was not impossible. They were, as you say, at a safe distance. There is nothing wrong, if you think the person is about to shoot, to find cover and assess the situation, especially if you were already at a safe distance. There is nothing about policing that demands you shoot first and ask questions later. There's something wrong with Americans thinking they're going to be the hero. There's nothing wrong with hiding. You're supposed to be the police. You're not a fucking soldier.
Yeah, so lets buy into all these conspiracies while voting for someone with actual ties to the Russians! Never let real world events get in the way of imaginary problems.
They're the ones who voted for the situation to continue, despite the rest of us trying to tell them voting for tax cuts for the rich won't help them get rich. Maybe they should start listening and stop betting on winning the lottery and avoiding the tax.
See? Like I said. Don't like all that nasty dirty politics stuff. Just want the simplistic stories of your childhood over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Yes, you would have us reinvent the wheel over and over again.
Environmental regulations? Fuck that. We'll just pollute and then let the market tell us it's bad to have no clean drinking water. And who cares how many people get sick and die along the way. As long as it evens out in the end and we'll magically discover we should clean our water.
Meanwhile, we'll export this stupid idea to new places and let their market figure out that they shouldn't pollute their water.
Why, we should never learn from our mistakes and get some progress. We should always start from scratch with the same mistakes every time and hope it all works out in the end.
They tend to keep bringing up the Plunkett reviews, which has the running theme of "why are you showing me complex politics and not the simple good vs evil story"
Most Star Wars "fans" seem to want to forget all the political stuff. You can see their reasoning when they talk about how the prequels were crap because they were too complicated. They want the simple good vs evil, swords and blasters story that the first one was about because politics hurts their heads. They want things spoon fed to them because working things out on their own way too difficult for "nerds" like them.
How about making sure they don't think about doing shit like that in the first place?
I swear, you libertarian types seem to think that everything will magically even out, and that none of the things that happened to real people in real time ever occurred if it worked out mathematically in the end. And that's only in some magical ideal world where things ever work out mathematically.

"Hey ladies, just make yourselves more open to being abused. Then there won't be any more abuse."
Yeah, nice plan, dickhead.
All the major stuff has been working for me since clang 4. constexpr if, variant, optional, any, filesystem (some APIs are not up to date).
In clang 5, I've used constructor type deduction.
Then add the standardization of WebAssembly, C++17 is going to gain even more momentum in places we don't expect.
Because the guy who wants you to lie down WILL yell it again
You are amazingly stupid to believe that, given recent history with cops.

No it's not. You can fucking take cover.

The cops should be finding them
What good would killing them do? ;)

No. You live in a sick fucking country. Other countries in the developed world are not like this.

In previous Slashdot postings on the subject, many people have given real world examples of the difference Obama's NN rules made.
But sure, keep repeating it in hopes people don't notice that you have already been utterly disproven before you even wrote anything this time around.

It's a Star Wars movie. It was the right level for a Star Wars movie.

Windows 10 is just a way for Microsoft to prepare us for Windows 3.
Ah. The defense of someone with no argument.

Because the actual laws that were proposed clearly don't have that effect. That's why people are against it.

That doesn't explain the fall of the Republic, which is what I took that comment to be talking about.
