My grandmother used to be a "Programmer". When I asked her about what she did, she had basically no idea, and not because she is senile, just because they were not taught what they were doing, just how to transfer something from paper to a punch card...
If 'boxen' is an acceptable plural of 'box', which it isn't unless you're a *nix script kiddie that likes making shit up, then why is everyone getting their knickers in a knot about SMS-style abbreviations ruining the English language?
Ps. show me 'boxen' in a dictionary that you actually paid money for, not some online/free pos.
Most British writing style guides advise against the Oxford comma. "Thus" and "so" both work in his sentence as they are both being used as synonyms for "therefore" and meaning "as a result".

New York City Police Department policy prohibits the use of chokeholds, and did so before the indecent. So I would say that the change is quite significant.
My first job was iterative waterfall, the 10 or so since then have all been agile. My first job was the only one where development went that smoothly: dependencies were accounted for, schedules could be re-arranged to account for vacations, you know how long you'd have to wait for a certain feature, etc. It was GREAT compared to agile.
Why does the placebo have to be some illogical, irrational mumbo jumbo that forces the patient to suspend their critical thinking skills, rather than a placebo pill under the guise of it being a real medicine, which rationally makes sense if you don't know it's a placebo, and doesn't fuck with your ability to think clearly in the future.
"Oh! That ear candle healed me, even with out any rational or logical link between it and me getting better... So maybe when I walk around mecca 5000 times, I will transcend to the heavens or some other stupid shit... Who knows, this 'science' stuff seems to be coming from Crazy Eddie!"
When I can't sleep, I go and make myself a small sugar cap (few grains of sugar in a gel capsule). After taking that I fall asleep in 20 minutes. My original theory was that I could give myself a placebo sleeping pill, and it seems to work every time for me.
Since this article is about C vs C++, can you give us C examples for the functionality you've sown? Aside from that, yours are not apples-to-apples comparisons, which is why they are different...
Java: s.endsWith(t) => returns bool
Python: s.endswith(t) => returns bool
C++: s.rfind(t) == s.size()-t.size() => returns index
Java: c.contains(e) => returns bool
Python: e in c => returns bool
C++: c.find(e) != c.end() => returns iterator/object
So the C++ examples you have shown give you double the functionality, its not unexpected that they look more complex to use, but you also have to learn less library functions... Its a much of a muchness, and more of a library issue than a language issue.
Compiling repeatability - Are you sure? I have not checked recently, but last time I did, this was no the case
Code-to-binary and structural coverage analysis - If you don't like STL and Boost, don't use them (I don't) and instead, roll your own. BUT, what standard libraries does C provide if you don't want to roll your own? None? Really? Wow, so you HAVE to roll your own? Using macros instead of templates? LOL, how is the STL in C++ a bad thing when compared to NOTHING in C ??
Internationalization - C++ is not the problem... "X11 and Motif to QT" That's the problem. "updating it to go from hard-coded English to strings" that's the problem. Starting with what sounds like a crappy code base, that's the problem. This would be akin to converting a Winforms application to WPF, in other words, practically impossible, you might as well re-write it, or the front end at least. I'm actually in the process of converting an application from winforms to WPF, and I've not done anything other than re-write all the front end code from scratch so far.

LMAO, the op left out the word "gap" which is why its in bold, that's what he was sighing at.
Isn't space a synonym for "gap" ?
;p
A-Hur-Hur! See what I did there?

Why do you get mod+ and i get mod-, when we're saying the same thing?
"Plenty of people" are also depressed, fickle and unbalanced, the solution to which is often spending more time outdoors experiencing nature.
I'm gay, and agree with this.
Mmmm yeah! Hofmann rearrangement... always fun to try at home ;)

We are up to 7000 draw calls being just about OK on the ps4/xbone.
The fact that the homeopathy worked just proves you were a really annoying kid. LOL.
Your view of how depression works shows your ignorance.

The cyclodextrins can absorb an estimated 60 percent of their own weight in alcohol.
That makes it about 37.5% alcohol, or slightly weaker than most vodkas. Perfectly safe to drink/eat neat.

Are the reporters who write/edit this shit actually retarded? Do they not realize how much DISTRESS not closing a quote or bracket causes?
"Look, I haven't modified this rope at all, I've just cut it up into pieces."
Similar problem with Blender VS Maya/Max, you shouldn't have to learn 50 keyboard shortcuts before you can make a box.
How do you do these things in C, the language of relevance (since we are comparing c to c++)?
