That is only true if you haven't written a string processing library.
Memory management is still a pain though, because a lot of times you want to create a lot of new strings when you are doing splicing and inserting etc.
I would say that 95% of all people I know in person, who learned C first and not: Assembler, Pascal, SmallTalk, Lisp are extremely bad on advanced language concepts like functional or oo programming. Most of them shifted to scripting and operating servers and don't "code". A minority is doing embedded programming in C++ which mainly looks like C.
Almost no one learns to program in assembler, Pascal, SmallTalk, or Lisp as their first language these days. It's all Python now, or Java.
It may not be apparent even then. Java looks an awful lot like C++ at the code level. So... what's different? Java (and other managed languages like C#) have a bunch of neat features like reflection and automatic memory management, which inherently comes at the cost of runtime efficiency. Simply learning C or C++ won't point out exactly why those languages are so much faster than managed languages. You can write nearly the same code in C++, Java, and C#, and you'll see C++ win performance benchmarks - at least in all but the most contrived examples.
All that stuff comes at a cost, but not a 1000% cost.
If you're seeing that much of a speedup, then it's likely you were doing silly things in the Java version.
I'd rather write C than Java, but let's be honest about the performance: Java's not that much worse.
Some rich parents have this attitude, that if their children don't do well in school, there must be a problem with the school. They can't accept that their children just don't do well in math, biology, Latin, or whatever.
High school math, biology, Latin? If a child has a problem with high-school level subjects, there's a problem somewhere. You don't have to be super-talented to be proficient at any high-school level topic. As long as you're not truly retarded, you can handle high school subjects.
That was Volcker's point......if they get too big, so that we have to bail them out, then break them up. Bail them out first because that's what we have to do, but then break them up.
Any bank that is too big to fail is too big to exist.
The firmware changed to pass while it was being tested, so it seems the fix will be to leave the car in 'test' mode permanently. Apparently performance will suffer when that happens, but that doesn't really matter when you're stuck in a line of traffic on the freeway.......
True, true, it's merely words. Bush Jr certainly escalated the war beyond what was necessary, and did what his father wisely avoided. The invasion of Iraq was a mistake, and I doubt you disagree.
The main Iraqi gov't officials did not want it. For good or bad, the ultimate decision was theirs.
That is how the Obama administration spun it. You fell for their propaganda, which isn't surprising since you've been defending them this whole thread. You are clearly a fanboy, and that is affecting your thinking, and your information gathering process.
The Obama administration claimed that "the Iraqis wouldn't allow forces to stay without immunity." That is the story that made it through the news, but later investigation revealed it wasn't the case. At one point, the Iraqi administration and the US administration were discussing how to keep the military there. The Iraqis offered one solution, "If you get rid of immunity, the representatives will approve it immediately." The US administration grabbed that phrase, and warped it to mean, "if we don't get rid of immunity, they won't approve it." Twisting their words. Lying. Getting what they wanted in the first place.
But it was enough to trick people like you, who don't do deeper research into topics.

I have no idea what you are doing, but it's really hilarious.
Ads, and multiple redirects.
Curious here.....what exactly does "to jeep" mean as a verb?
The majority of cars had the same or LESS mpg, despite being 10 to 20 years newer.
But have significantly more power. Because that's what consumers want.
When pharma buys a law, you can make damned sure it's only pharma who benefits
The lawyers benefit, too. They're the ones write the law, after all.
As websites and online services become ever more demanding, the need for compression increases exponentially.
I hope not, because we're not going to get exponential increases in compression over what we have now.
That would work about as well as laws that stop people from sharing copyrighted material.
In other words, they won't work at all, but you'll see some token enforcement attempts.
A small force would either have been wiped out, so you would have had to top it up until it became a large force.
Seriously? How small a force are you thinking of? I think you are over-estimating Daesh.

Because behinds the scenes, it's the same people running the show.
Who? If you can't give names, it's just paranoia.
It's sad because it's true.

And what if we don't like either of them?
Then don't post that because fanboys from both parties will mod you down.

Why did they do this? Did they think they could get away with it?
Of course you know all of this.
True, true, it's merely words. Bush Jr certainly escalated the war beyond what was necessary, and did what his father wisely avoided. The invasion of Iraq was a mistake, and I doubt you disagree.
I get the idea that he spent a good portion of his free time thinking about bombs, and perhaps even building them.
fuck this place has really gone to shits
You must be new here. Gallows humor has always been de rigueur on Slashdot.
Certainly. If you want to invade a country, the justification can always be found. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
They merely put more rules on big banks to reduce the chance of another similar crash.
By promising to bail out banks when they do run into that kind of problem, it encourages similar crashes.
Exactly.
