Women in general are worse at tech jobs, and therefore, less women want to pursue tech jobs.
MYSTERY SOLVED!
I wouldn't say that. We still have trouble with women pursuing the educations. Which I think is tragic, I have never seen anything to suggest women are worse at Computer Science than men, but many believe somehow it is wrong, and many CS girls I have talked with have talked about how they treated negatively by family and friends due to their choice.
Due to this women that end up in IT, are usually shorter careers chosen much later after talking a job-less education, and not long degrees. So that fit with worse scores
Though hopefully we can soon lay to rest the idea that they are discriminated against inside the field. Everything I have seen suggest women get better offers than men, because IT companies desparately want to improve gender balance.
She also seems to understand the role that government should play in combating that first rule.
:head scratch: So Amazon, Apple, and Google should encourage their competition?
Because not doing something bad, is doing self sacrifice? How about going from doing bad, to not doing bad? Or how about just keep status quo, and lets us teach fanboys and libertarians how the real work works?
What you've stumbled upon there are basic health and sanitation rules as opposed to the more modern HOA restrictions. Chances are that all we really need is the "old and obsolete stuff" and the new "shiny shiny" really isn't the least bit useful.
Also, these old school restrictions are really limited to real damages that would be actionable in a civil court.
"Your vermin ate my air conditioner"
It is not his vermin and he is not responsible for it. It is vermin. He would only be responsible if he kept them as pets. So no, a civil court would not help.
one must first cease and desist using the services of a government.
Government compels, under threat of government guns, the use of Government services.
Your argument is invalid.
Nope, you can always just leave. If you don't want the service of living in the country, leave the country. The government is just the governing body of the land. So get the fuck out if you don't like it.
- Carefully selecting price points that let them pretend there's no elephant in the room: that AMD lacks a proper response to the 1070 and 1080.
I genuinely want AMD to do well, since I want a competitive ecosystem where they're all being pushed to do better, but this whole summary is so clearly one-sided that it's no surprise people view it as an ad.
Funny - the cheapest 1070 is $120 more than the AMD card.
And you can not buy it at that price. GTX 1070s are missing in action, especially at official prices. If you want a 1070 you either need to wait for months, or pay an additional 50% markup on eBay or Amazon.
They cost the same as luxury cars, and only traditional buyers of luxury cars can afford them. So the comparison is apt, even if Tesla's are crap compared to luxury cars.
C++ can not have reflection, as there is 0 guarantee a given class with even exist in compiled code. Now, if you meant compile time reflection, I can see that.
But it is guarenteed at runtime because otherwise the linker would have failed. Reflection would be expanding on the existing run-time type information (rtti) of C++. Though I personally don't particularly like the rtti system, it certainly is there and could do with a few features to make it more useful. I would prefer more compile time information.
Do you have any actual benchmarks that supports what you imply? Regex matching isn't exactly super lightweight and while the memory allocation needed to create new objects might be rough I find it very hard to believe that it would come close to the efficiency of tokenizing.
I think the bigger problem is that memory allocation means having to define ownership. Methods that doesn't risk leaking are preferred. By yes malloc is very expensive, it has a tendency to cause cache-misses, where iterating over something locally doesn't.
No because you can't put a declaration inside the if statement right now. You could use the comma operator to give an already declared variable a value before the boolean expression, but the variable would have scope outside of the if statement.
Yes, you can. The example I showed above works right now, and always have. The problem is that it declarations evaluate to their values, so you can only do it if the value is something that has a useful boolean conversion (like not-null of pointers). The standard would expand the same to more types of expressions. But I can't see why this wouldn't already work:
if (MyClass *p = getMyClass, p && p->ofTheRightType())
p->doTheRightThing()
Wait, I think I figured it out. The comma operator doesn't work after declarations. In a declaration a comma signifies a declaration of another variable of the same type.
I really hate it because it now makes ( ) a scope boundary. Previously, you could just assume looking for { } as a scope boundary. This is important because it makes it harder to debug while half asleep.
It is not the parenthesis that is the scope boundary, it is the keyword. This is no different from 'for' statements where 'int i' is often declared. And note my example above already works right now, though it something that is either encouraged, or heavily frowned upon in coding styles. It looks weird and unnatural unless you are used to it.

Unfortunately the most important features weren't added. Concepts, modules, reflection and concurrency... those would actually fixed almost all the things, where c++ is lacking now. Hope those will get into the next standard at least.
Well someone other than gcc has to implement a working version of concepts. As long as only gcc supports them they will keep getting postponed.
European Union was formally established in November 1993, so U.K. must have invented time travel to leave it after 43 years in 2016.
It was established in 1956, but has changed name a few times. It renamed itself EU and adopted a new constitution in 1993. U.K. has been a member of the organization for 43 years, though the organization was called E.C. at the time.
In the EU, the EU or its collections of institutions is often referred to as "Europe".
Only by idiots and people who doesn't know what they are talking about.
But I will you: What you mean is the right-wing UK definition of Europe. Which is, continental Europe and the exact same thing as the EU, because they are morons and doesn't know any better.
No. What Europe needs and has always lacked is a proper constitution.
Europe?? You want to invade all European countries and force them??
If you mean EU, then you are just wrong. The EU does have a constitution. And yes, they are written in legal language, laws usually are, and yes they are treaties because that is what laws between countries are.
You can encode surround sound into two channel audio, but the result is not nearly as good as true separation of channels
No it BETTER, much better. At least when you have head phones. We have exactly two ears and two channel head phones can reproduce everything we can hear including location. It is worse ofcourse if you want to connect it too a room sized system with multiple speakers.
Ok, misread, I thought the quoted person was an Apple employee. I hadn't realized that "Apple commentator" was a real profession.
It is basically the same thing. Though the employees can not be as overly single minded about supporting Apple as the professional commentators, since Apple employess make a living off being percieved as sane, while Apple commentators do not.
Just think how much more efficient it could be if it didn't have to drag all that telemetry baggage with it all the time!
That is probably how they beat Chrome, since Chrome has a lot more telemetry than Edge.
Did you known Google Chrome does A/B testing with optimizations and architecture redesigns, enabling some at random and then reporting back to Google how often they crash or cause other issues?
Well, Edge does not need as much telemetry as Chrome since most of the telemetry is actually done under Windows 10 which is an operating system.
Also in Chrome, all that you mentioned is normally turned "off" by default. You have to deliberately turn them on if you want them.
It is not off by default, and you can not disable all of it. A lot Chrome features depends on being able to talk to Google.

How does that explain post-menopausal cancers and cancer being more prevalent in individuals who are past their reproductive prime?
Because we're no longer necessary for the species to procreate....
That would explain why were haven't evolved immunity to it. The paper here suggested we evolved cancer as mechanism correcting who reproduces, and that seems incompatible with it mostly affecting non reproducing people.
Would be only a slight generalization of his view point.
A lot of people think this is how Americans think about the rest of the world.
We've heard it's out there, but it doesn't matter very much, as long as they have a McDonalds, a 7-11, and a Starbucks.
We are talking about people who believe the Super Bowl is some kind of world wide event, that people who haven't been culturally brainwashed to watch the most boring sport in world would watch. And who considers the NHL a world championship.

I'm still waiting for it to have a poorly specified implementation of *all* of common Lisp.
A poorly specified one? That is literally JavaScript.

Well someone other than gcc has to implement a working version of concepts. As long as only gcc supports them they will keep getting postponed.
I appreciate the idea behind if initializer. This is actually a somewhat common pattern.
if (MyClass *p = getMyClassOrNull() {
p->doYourThing();
}
But I fear using initializer statements easily gets too long for a line, and couldn't it already be done with the comma operator?

You have vivid imagination.
Try a list of top bureaucrats, you know, the government folk who aren't elected.
You mean the people hand picked by the retard elects to serve as their assistents?
