    Most kernel developers are male. You REALLY want to argue that you have a chance of coming up against a female kernel developer is equal?

    Funny how you ignore statistics when it suits you, and pretend everything is equal. I bet you also read James Damore's piece and agree with those statistics.

    It's called statistics, idiot. Most programmers, especially kernel programmers, are male. And cunts like you want to keep it that way. So it is no stretch of the imagination to assume such a programmer must be male.

    If a female kernel programmer said such a thing, cunts like you would be on her case faster than Harvey Weinstein.

  6. Fuck them and their apology. It was zero episodes too late. How many impressionable Slashdot nerds use manbearpig to shout down real science? Fuck them, and fuck the Slashdot incel nerds who take their science cues from a cartoon.

  7. It's funny how, when I said the pouring of money into the Great Barrier Reef will do nothing, you replied to me saying that I'm the typical Slashdotter believing I know more than the experts.

    Now you're the one saying you know more than the experts because 16mm doesn't seem big enough to you to cause any trouble.

    Neither birds nor non-human mammals like the taste of caffeine.

    To be fair, human mammals don't normally like the taste of caffeine either. It's an acquired taste, and often only after milk and sugar.

    Suppressing gene expression has no affect on whether genes get inherited and selected for or against. The epigenetic effect does not come from the gene itself - it is not it's phenotype. So another organism with the exact same gene, but without the epigenetic effect can pass along that gene to an organism where its phenotype can be expressed and contribute (or be detrimental) to its survival.

    For an epigenetic effect to suppress gene expression to the point that it kicks the gene out of the gene pool, the epigenetic effect has to occur in every reproductive member of the species with the gene, meaning every reproductive member with that gene also has the same life experience to succumb to that epigenetic effect.

    Also, what "feelings"? You're the only one to bring up feelings. Is that your tactic? Pre-emptively accuse someone of arguing from "feelings" so that you feel better about yourself and hopefully no one will pull you up on your embarassingly bad argument and your obvious ignorance to what Natural Selection actually is?

  15. Re:Lamarck's revenge on How Dad's Stresses Get Passed Along To Offspring (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Lamarck is wrong and epigenetic does not salvage Lamarck in any way. What Darwin's Theory is not about is where sources of variation come from, but how they persist. Epigenetic traits do not last more than a few generations and cannot contribute to speciation. It is still the genes that are selected on.

    The rest of what you write is just dribble. Part obvious - raise children well, who would have thought - and part nonsense, "therefore epi-genetics and evolution".

  16. No one said it made you sociopath or sadist. Even with the questionable study, they said it was "likely" one was associated with the other.

    "Likely" does not mean "cause of", and the study doesn't make that claim.

  17. You mean the paragraph that also says this?

    Despite the improvements to overall objectivity by establishing non - naturalistic means of comparing tastes, our sample population (n=40) was unlikely to yield results with high internal validity given the size of the original study (n=953). In addition to the disadvantage faced with a much smaller participant population, the laboratory portion of the experiment itself also left great room for improvement.

    It's almost as if you don't know that alloca isn't safe. Especially with vector, resizing is very dodgy with alloca. You may as well just use a std::array.

    std::vector uses the heap. VLAs are supposed to be on the stack, or at least without require separate allocation. You can't use the heap to solve all your problems when it comes to a kernel.

  23. GCC already supports many of Clang's sanitizers.

  24. VLAs are part of the C99 standard. It says so right in the summary, and you can look up the standard itself.
