If C++ is "the best tool" for cross-platform mobile app development, then the state of mobile app development is in a sorry state indeed.
Seriously if C++ is the best we can do for *anything*, then we need to just throw in the towel and go back to pencil and paper right now.
Taking such a strident and dogmatically absolutist stance on the usefulness of any language indicates a lack of experience in the field and a narrowness of understanding of the field. It sounds like someone told you it was really, really bad, and, knowing nothing else, you simply repeat what they said.
C++ is, syntactically, not my favorite language. It's not even my second favorite language. But for its breadth of application, the ubiquity of compilers on any platform, and the sheer volume of useable libraries, it is up there on my list.
Many homeless people in the US have severe psychological illnesses; when we emptied out our asylums in the late 70's, almost all of those people went onto the streets, and they stayed there.
I went to school in Georgia, so the state lottery paid for mine. When I took a second major and added and extra two years that Hope wouldn't pay for, the loans were a lot more manageable. There are a LOT of scholarships and grants available that make college almost free. People just don't take advantage of them.
The budget for entitlements each year contain enough money to fund the entirety of the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan at once. DoD spending is a red herring. Our economy has often expanded in times of war, so that is not the problem in this instance.
I know it just boils your balls that a Democrat was in charge at the time, but Clinton (who was twice the man and three times as fiscally conservative than Bush the lesser ever was) signed the bill that killed welfare. It's dead, get the fuck over it already.
You mean the Republican-crafted law (PRWORA) that required welfare recipients to at least try to get work, and was a cornerstone of the much-reviled "Contract With America"? I remember that. Bill, at least, knew when to cross the aisle, after twice vetoing the legislation and deciding that vetoing it a third time was too politically risky. But yeah, manly, that.
But dead? No. In 2012 The Obama administration gutted the work requirement of the law, its most successful aspect.
No way! Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim were all amazing games in their own right, and are shining examples of how a sandbox game should be made (except for FO3's game-ending conclusion; booo!). Oblivion had some great mods; even entire NPC-voiced cities and some great new dungeons and storylines. The mods for FO and Skyrim were a bit lack-luster, IMHO, but even so those games shine.
Need money for education, need money for health, need money to not starve to death.
Well, I thought I lived in the US, but I must be mistaken, because all the homeless people in my city have free food, free healthcare, free education, and, if they want them, free homes. Which is clearly not the US, because Slashdot keeps telling me it's supposed to be a third-world shit-hole.
As it turns out, the lead programmer used to get atomic wedgies by Tony Romo in high school. Finally, at long last, he has a chance for revenge. But since Romo can't get any worse, he gets better anyways. No matter what, nerds lose.
That might be the point. Daesh/ISIL has been really savvy about recruiting through social media. Shutting down their PR operations should be a primary goal of any military operation against them. Make them think twice before posting propaganda that will net them more fighters.
It's not about what's constitutional, it's about what's enforceable, pragmatically speaking. We do not live in a Constitutional utopia, but one where people in power get to do whatever the fuck they want.
No. If this had been a real stormtrooper, he would not have been a threat to anyone, as he would not have been able to hit the ground if he aimed for it.

No, please; put it down.
Because... reasons.

But it's easy work if you can get it: the Nihilism Factory, for instance, produces nothing.

And, as per usual, I accidentally a word.
Welcome, our new puritans. Today, as ever, no one gives about what offends your delicate sensibilities.

Unless you want to stifle open recruitment operations.
That might be the point. Daesh/ISIL has been really savvy about recruiting through social media. Shutting down their PR operations should be a primary goal of any military operation against them. Make them think twice before posting propaganda that will net them more fighters.
Context should have given you immediate understanding. Do you have a rough time learning new vocabulary?
Do you believe gays are limp-wristed and light-loafered?
Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 prohibits firearms within 1,000 feet of public, private, or parochial school grounds.

No, guns are prohibited outside schools across the country.
Look forward to unsandboxed memory leaks and poorly optimised animation directly in your page... yay
So you're saying we're going back to GeoCities circa '98?
Uh, no, their high vaccination rate will protect them.
What school in the US teaches engineering in US Customary? I am doubtful of this anecdote.
Everyone in the US is aware of the metric system. What we simply do not see any advantage over US Customary outside of science and medicine.
