I don't think so, the confirmation tweet (quoted in the article) mentions 20+ brands that are going to live under the Oath entity.
And frankly, overarching gestures with funny names, lots of brands, plus reorganizations that don't do anything, all in an attempt to......increase productivity? Are just the kinds of things that Tim Armstrong likes to do.
Why would a developer build anything but the priciest luxury rentals?
Because 'developers' are not a single monolithic entity. If there is an opportunity to make money building smaller, cheaper units, some developer will take that opportunity.
There are certainly other barriers, and you mentioned one of them (NIMBY neighbors fighting low-income apartments or any other change).
Maybe nothing. This is probably similar to Google becoming Alphabet......a corporate structure change that has little effect on the consumer facing brands.
Given the companies involved, you can be sure that the 'oath' is to monetize your personal data in any way possible.
Certainly, I am open to the idea that I am missing here, but you didn't provide any details particular to this case. What benefit do you think this company provides?
That's kind of similar to the argument that Dell should be worth more than Apple, because they ship more PCs. If you're going to look at a 'purely numbers perspective' you need to take into consideration the profit margin, which you didn't.
The advantage of Ebay (as I understand it) was discovery of things for sale. There are so many places already for discovery of rental properties that I don't see this offering that value.
But they did 'create value' by getting you more than you asked for in rent.
They created value for one party, subtracted an equal amount of value from the other party, and sucked a percentage off in the middle. Net gain: negative.
If you slap busybox on it, it's still Linux. If you have Android tools running through Bionic, it's still linux. "Adb shell" and all the traditional commands still work fine.
There's a really good reason to use C: because it's portable. Not only between systems, but also between languages. If you write a library in C, it can be used from almost any language, and bindings can be generated automatically for all of them. Not so with Python.
But let's talk more specifically why C is better than C++: C is a clean design from the beginning. It works very well in what it is designed for, and even its critics agree on that point. Whereas C++ is the opposite of a clean design, it is a pile of garbage, and each generation adds more garbage to the pile, as the fans of the language tell you, "Don't use last year's garbage, this standard finally got it right!" No, it still didn't, C++ is still just a bigger pile of garbage. But you know, maybe a few standard's from now it will finally be a good language. What a work in progress.
That's an interesting idea, maybe I'll try it.
The updatePanel is great because you don't have to do anything other than surround a desired section of HTML with an <UpdatePanel> tag and then anything inside it will get updated without a reload of the page.
It's not part of the standard for the same reason hashes and queues are not part of the standard: there are systems where they are not needed, they can easily be acquired where they are needed, and no one wants to add more bloat to the language.
PostgreSQL code is dramatically cleaner than Mozilla code, and any benefit would be correspondingly smaller. Certainly though, I don't expect project maintainers to be calm when random outsiders come in and tell them to rewrite all their code in a different language.
Your comment would have been useful if it had an example, but instead it's just an indication of your own preference. Which is fine. Some HTML/Javascript programmers don't know how to organize their own code, so they prefer React because it helps them. That is fine for them.
Well, OpenBSD uses their own set of string libraries. It's a little too limited for my taste, but it works well for them. Microsoft cleaned up a lot of their security problems by disallowing unsafe string functions, and making their own. Again, this is too limited for my taste, but it cleaned up quite a bit.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, with all the improvements coming up, I think Firefox has good potential to leap to the top browser here in the coming year or so.
That's pretty much the same thing with the particular JSF implementation we used.
I should probably look around harder, there are surely other frameworks that do it, too
btw, you mentioned Servo, how is that going? Are they having good success?
I don't think so, the confirmation tweet (quoted in the article) mentions 20+ brands that are going to live under the Oath entity.

I expect my landlord to make substantial improvements over the course of my lease just to keep rent the same.
Uh......what market do you live in where that happens at all?

Oh, and you are using that to defend C++? You think C++ doesn't have undefined behavior?
Please, come up with something better.

I think the main difficulty would be graphics drivers, actually.
Only on slashdot are we presented with an example of a startup giving complete control of rental housing pricing to the renters,
You can tell this benefits landlords, not renters, because the landlords are the ones paying.

#define Free(m) free(*m); *m = NULL
Or you can make it a function.
Also, if you think the ARM is of anything other than historical interest today,
No one said that. The question was whether you'd read it or not.
That just sounds like the Flynn effect of education hasn't happened in India yet. They're a bunch of simple country people, still.
That's an interesting idea, maybe I'll try it.

Yes there is. It's called the C++ Core Guidelines and is a proposed part of the upcoming standard.
That's good to know, thanks
