Visual Studio was always a MAJOR advantage of Windows
Always? No. Vance Petree said, "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you." Until Visual Studio 2005, the emacs/gcc/gdb stack was clearly better (once you got over the learning curve). It was not even a question, visual studio sucked.
Now Visual Studio is definitely an advantage of Windows.......but only for people who prefer Visual Studio. For people who have preference for certain tools, like the Valgrind suite, Linux is still better. And don't talk to me about autocomplete, even fucking vi has autocomplete now.
I use clang for bonus warnings, but my program won't run with clang because I need -fnon-call-exceptions.
Yeah, I know throwing exceptions from signal handlers is a bad idea ("what if the exception is thrown inside a noexcept function?"). But who cares if it crashes when it was going to crash anyway. Also, I check null pointers a bit more carefully in noexcept. Being able to catch and log NPEs helps tremendously when you're porting from a GC'd language, so the benefit outweighs all the downsides.
FWIW a more common way to do this is by letting it crash and leaving a core file, then getting a stack trace of the core. The advantage of this is you can examine the state of all variables at the time of the crash, anywhere on the stack, at your leisure (ulimit -c unlimited enables core dumps).
If you want to set it up print the stack into your log automatically, you can use a command like this: echo "bt" | lldb -c corefile; rm corefile
Obviously be careful with the rm command, and another option is to store the core in a place to be examined by hand if needed.
The only advantage of Windows over Linux is that the drivers mostly work. And that's not because of anything Microsoft has done, it's entirely the doing of the device manufacturers.
He said what was "unprecedented" actually was Clinton's exclusive use of private email and her own Internet service provider in lieu of an official account "so that the records of her email account would reside solely within her personal control at home."
That means "she managed successfully to insulate her official emails, categorically, from the FOIA, both during her tenure at State and long after her departure from it — perhaps forever." He called that "a blatant circumvention of the FOIA by someone who unquestionably knows better.
It is certain that she didn't like email because of the risk of investigation, see this video clip.
All of this really doesn't matter anymore though, it's in the past and more an issue for historians than anything.
Buddhism in three steps is:
1) Avoid evil
2) Try to be good
3) Meditate
The first two are practically universal in all the world and not particularly interesting. The third contains the interesting parts of Buddhism. Different branches of Buddhism have found different techniques and methods of practice. Some of the techniques are useful, some are not. I find it's helpful to have an idea of what you want when you start meditating. Some people don't and they just sit there in pain.
I'm really interested where you got your understanding of Nietzsche, if you don't mind my asking.
No, Google and Sun were negotiating for a while, but they never came to an agreement. Sun said internally, "oh well, we like Android, so we'll let it slide."
Oracle bought Sun and said, "Whether we like Android or not has nothing to do with it, we want to sue." Google never got a license, and that's why they're in a lawsuit still today.
Here's the law. They can stop Uber from using the Google technology (mainly the LIDAR afaict) until it becomes common knowledge (and then they have to wait a little longer to make up for the head-start they got by stealing the secret). They can use civil seizure to ensure Uber doesn't secretly continue using the technology. They can make Uber pay damages (profits lost by Google + profits gained by Uber).
There is also the issue of patent 8,836,922, which Google claims is being violated. It is also related to LiDAR. Also 9,368,936 and 9,086,273.
Google is also claiming that Uber's business practices were unfair, fraudulent, and illegal. They don't really go into detail why, except to say that reasonable people would have been deceived by misrepresentations and omissions coming from Uber.
Today, most firms in the self-driving space purchase LiDAR systems from third-party providers. Waymo, on the other hand, uses
its own
LiDAR systems that are carefully tailored – based on Waymo’s extensive research and testing – for use in fully autonomous vehicle
That's an interesting legal theory, but I'm not sure there's anything to back it up.
More-over saying "people who didn't pay" is a grossly misleading thing - all those people DID pay - then suddenly their payments jumped (sometimes by 600% or more) in a month or two.
Where are you getting this? I tried searching for people whose payments jumped 600% but couldn't find anything about it. Adjustable Rate Mortgages are usually indexed to something: banks can't just randomly choose an interest rate.
I was going to say the same thing. The memory work required for learning a language is brutal (I've been speaking English for decades and I still learn new words fairly often). Anything to make it easier is a boon.
The main problem is that if you want a decent raise, you either need to quit, or threaten to quit. Otherwise your raise will be a token 3-5%. I have quit jobs that I otherwise would have stayed at because of that.
Let me give you a little hint of just how corrupt it all was: practically NONE of the evictions in 2009 were legal.
Uh......the evictions were for people who weren't making payments. If you're not making payments, you're eventually going to get evicted, and that's not ever going to change.
Never trust a banker further than you regulate his ass.
And go one farther: don't trust the banker even after regulation. You can't buy loopholes, the banker can and did.

First the Mac was the crown jewel,
Seriously? It was just a toy until 2001.
This is yet another step in the disappearance of Windows altogether.

I can assure you I'll be voting against the incumbent in four years. Not sure how well that will go but I'm not one to follow crowds.
That's an excellent exposition of Nietzsche.

Oracle bought Sun and said, "Whether we like Android or not has nothing to do with it, we want to sue." Google never got a license, and that's why they're in a lawsuit still today.
They have three: patents no: 8,836,922; 9,368,936 and 9,086,273. and they are mentioned in the lawsuit.
"Trump claiming credit for the Obama economy is like someone inheriting a bunch of money and then bragging what a good businessman he is."
Here's the law. They can stop Uber from using the Google technology (mainly the LIDAR afaict) until it becomes common knowledge (and then they have to wait a little longer to make up for the head-start they got by stealing the secret). They can use civil seizure to ensure Uber doesn't secretly continue using the technology. They can make Uber pay damages (profits lost by Google + profits gained by Uber).
There is also the issue of patent 8,836,922, which Google claims is being violated. It is also related to LiDAR. Also 9,368,936 and 9,086,273.
Google is also claiming that Uber's business practices were unfair, fraudulent, and illegal. They don't really go into detail why, except to say that reasonable people would have been deceived by misrepresentations and omissions coming from Uber.
So those are the claims. Also worth noting that Google has asserted their right to a jury trial. Here's the original lawsuit, it's fairly readable.
Today, most firms in the self-driving space purchase LiDAR systems from third-party providers. Waymo, on the other hand, uses its own LiDAR systems that are carefully tailored – based on Waymo’s extensive research and testing – for use in fully autonomous vehicle
If Google insists that Uber do a clean-room approach, the irony will be thick considering how they copied Java into Android.
The stock market isn't the economy.
This can't be emphasized enough.
Vote out the incumbents until things change. Eventually things will either change or we'll die.
That is the worst characterization of Buddhism I've ever read. As a lay-buddhist, you don't know much about buddhism.
Animal spirits. Not joking.
Nah, that's why they focus on getting to the root cause, instead of behaviour modification.
You have no citations to anything you've said.

We can't really change our physiological drives
That's kind of what Buddhism teaches you to do, right?
