This is the same Jay Z whose Tidal streaming music company is now accused of grossly inflated subscriber counts - using their own numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a proviso for either refunding the majority of the "investment" in one form or another, or for clawback terms. In other words, buy it for $200 million, get rebated $175 million. Even Sprint can't be that stupid... or can they?
Who cares what the JIT and GCC are written in? In the end, the actual code has to run on a runtime - it can't run itself. Hence the need for a JVM. If Java could compile to runable binaries instead of byte code, you'd have a point, but it doesn't.
Since the subject is medical doctors and cancer research, you should know that studies show you'll probably live longer if your doctor is a woman. And that male doctors have been proven to discriminate against female patients in terms of pain management, not taking their complaints as seriously (and pain management is part of cancer treatment, and the biases are there in the research as well, big time. For example, early breast cancer studies excluded women because "women have too many variables to make good test subjects").
It's not excessive work if you just remember what your mother told you - if you take it, put it back when you're finished with it. Memory management isn't that hard once you keep that in mind. Programs should be deterministic. You don't need valgrind if you know what you're doing. Then again, the same people who think that it's okay to write random shit and then test it in the hope of detecting leaks would freak out if they ever had to write in assembler.
Because each person will probably want to use a different subset, so eventually you end up with code that uses a lot more c++ than you ever intended, which means everyone has to be aware of all the peculiarities of all of c++, the stl, etc.
Look at the bright side. It might just be enough for people to take their skills back to the land of C instead, and actually learn how to manage memory instead of depending on all sorts of smart/weak/whatever_ptrs. And bye-bye to the STL and the GoF.
Another slow addition to an already slow language.
Just program in Java. Java already supports "concepts", this is just another way C steals from Java in order to make it relevant, and appear fast.
Java is the language of the future.
We will all be programming java, using java runtimes written in java, running on java runtimes written in java, because recursion [a concept!] makes things faster!
Java runtimes are written in c/c++. Java needs a runtime written in another language because java cannot "self-host".
This took place in Canada. In Quebec, Ontario, and any other province with a provincial police presence, you report federal crimes to either the local or provincial police - not directly to the RCMP (feds), except where the feds have jurisdiction (airports, etc).
Context matters - and in this case, the context is that it's not in the USA.
"Regardless, she was dressed in a short skirt and top" - and should have expected what happened next.
In the USofA, he would've wound up doin' hard time in the big house.
Are you kidding me? Brock Turner raped an unconscious woman, claimed the sex was consensual (how can you consent if you're passed out), his father said he will "pay a high price for 20 minutes of action", and he spent 3 months in the county jail, not a state or federal prison.
The 1% don't live under the same rules as you or I.
You wrote, and I quote: "No, you actually do have an obligation to not be naive and pretend crime can't happen." That dismissive attitude applies to every one of the examples I gave, and it has been used quite often - especially lately here on slashdot, where one poster claims that if you are sexually assaulted you shouldn't be walking around bare assed down dark alleys, and that someone who is repeatedly sexually assaulted has only themselves to blame for allowing it. Blaming the victim is one of the hallmarks of libertarian and/or extreme right-wing thinking, and slashdot is crawling with them.
Sure they did - not very effective, was it? But where were the tens of millions protesting the DNC/Clinton crooked nomination and the way the MSM slanted all their coverage in favour of Clinton? Wanna bet that it was Clinton supporters who are mostly protesting now? The same ones that actively supported a candidate who is known to be dishonest (public and private positions, "I don't remember", refusing to turn over a server that was subpoenaed and then deleting emails that were under subpoena?).
As if the perp would ever be able to go to trial... get real. That's one of the problems of the internet - too many people living in their own little bubbles that have zero correspondence to the real world. You'd have to find a cop who would take the complaint (not going to happen). You left your Facebook account accessible to the original owner that you stole the laptop from? You left THEIR door wide open (it's their laptop) and they walked right in.
Your insurance company will pay in cases of negligence. There's a difference between negligence and gross negligence. They can only hide behind gross negligence, intentional acts, or undeclared risks.
I take my own advice- I self-insure. The savings pay for the dog food and then some:-) Plus, I get along well with my neighbors. Consider that "added insurance."
If all your private stuff is boring, it means you're not doing stupid things that people would be interested in gossiping about. Boring is better than stupid.
Having a dog is a huge deterrent. Ironically, burglars are far more likely to avoid a house with a small dog than a big one — small dogs tend to be nervous and less easy to trick into calming down. They’re less trustful and bark louder and longer.
A lock is there for prevention. It doesn't deter most burglars. A video surveillance system is also there for prevention. It doesn't deter most burglars. A dog is there for whatever reason. It deters burglars better than a lock (which you might have forgotten to lock - many burglars just walk right in) or a surveillance system.
A dog IS a reasonable precaution. Far better than an alarm - even one connected to the internet with cameras. You should have no problem finding videos of people stealing all sorts of stuff from homes with internet security systems. The video is usually of crappy quality, and the alarm doesn't connect to the police station, but to a monitoring station, so you have 3 to 5 minutes after you break in to steal everything you want, even if the police station is on the next block.
No neighborhood is absolutely safe, no alarm system absolutely foolproof. The more precautions taken by the wary homeowner, the more irresistible the challenge.
Only one thing will deter most burglars: a dog.
Such is the picture that emerges from a Sun-Sentinel survey of state prison inmates serving time for Palm Beach County and Broward County burglaries.
So what. Is the going to call the cops over it? That would be like the crackhead going to the cops to complain their dealer shorted them on a rock. Also, she was the one who logged into her account and set the cookie, not him. He didn't "hack" her account - she gave him access.
I take the reverse - I post everything under my real name, same as I posted under my old real name before I changed it. You'd be amazed at just how much less complicated life is if you just assume your deepest dirty secrets are already out there - it also keeps you honest, both with others, and especially with yourself.:-)
Too bad most of the politicians out there are too busy fingerpointing at the messengers who leaked their dirty little deals rather than not doing them in the first place. But worse, in my opinion, is that the public now almost completely buys into this as a valid way of distracting from the dirty deeds themselves. Oh well, I fear for the next few generations.
Got proof? Didn't think so. Insurance companies still pay out in cases of negligence. Pretty much every french fry fire, every car accident, every "I'm being sued because I didn't do $X", they pay out. They just raise your rates or deny you future coverage.
Or do you live in a world where there are no accidents because nobody is ever negligent?

You realize that some of them died due to the conditions they were illegally (unconstitutionally) held under.

Modern app appers use COW custom roms so they can go to the MOO! MOO! MOON!
Actually almost nobody uses custom roms. Anyone with Facebook and Messenger installed doesn't really care, and that's the vast majority.

It is obvious the computer is stolen if you boot it up and the user isn't the person who sold it to you. The original OS was on it. The thief knew.

Everyone, unless they are rabid paranoids, trusts some people. Without that, you can't get anything done.

It wasn't always like that, and it still isn't like that in many places. Depends on how you're brought up I guess. Maybe you should move.
