It's a dick move to not respect pseudonyms, and post identifiable information about people here. The fact that it's legal or possible or anyone could do it does not detract from that.
Proven false by a great many people, including myself when younger. Heck, a buddy of mine was a security guard making $6/hour and saving half his pay (he did work a lot of hours)
No that's proven 100% true. Let's say he saved half his salary, and worked brutal 12 hour days, 365 days a year. In 10 years he'd have managed a grand $130,000. Oh oops! That's before tax.
I have no idea what the tax rate is wherever your buddy is, but $130,000 is not rich.
all you've proven is what you claimed is false is in fact 100% true.
Think about this when you try to take profits away from all those 'wealthy' shareholders. The largest class of equity owners are pension funds. You are stealing from the teachers, policemen, firefighters, etc.
No those pensions are going to be worth squat when it's time to cash them out. Pension companies are *the* *worst*.
Before you vote "yes" remember the guy who said this to the Zuck was a Republican Senator. Surprised?
Why would anoyone be surprised? The right think he's the liberal elite, the left think he sold democracy down the river to the right for a buck. Everyone thinks he's a dick.
California have it in their grasp to be able to put in a TRUE high-speed with hyperloop. It would bring jobs, provide the fastest land transportation, and yet, these idiots are playing within tinker toys from other nations.
Hyperloop: doesn't exist yet.
Successful high speed, high capacity railways: tinker toys.
C, on the other hand, seems to attract a bizarre level of machismo, people absolutely insisting that C is the best, and the only reason why there's so much terrible C written is that the average programmer is worse than they are, because C, you know, it needs to be written by a true expert. A REAL C programmer. Programming in REAL C. Alongside REAL men, REAL women, and REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
I like the attidude (see sibling post) that because tools can't make bad programmers good, the good programmers may as spend all thier time juggling live chainsaws because of course that makes sense.
The only other language I can think of that attracts that level of misplaced arrogance is C++, which is kinda what you'd expect given one is an extension of the other.
I'm a C++ programmer and I work with c++ programmers and oh god yes.
Is there any other language where people routinely declare that "clearly" the standard library sucks and goes and checks in their own extra uh "optimised" version of a map or whatever complete with use-after-free bugs.
Oddly enough the only other language (other than C) where I've encountered serious attitude is Python. A small segment of the community gets really hot and bothered about "pythonic" and "pure python" and just flip their shit if you write the slow inner loop in C++.
I've never encountered a JS or PHP developer with the attitude their language makes them a superior person.
My favourite are FORTRAN programmers. They look up, squint at the details of the numerics and the rounding mode, write the moral equivalent of int i,j,k,l; and then continue to write FORTRAN in whatever language happens to be in front of them.
While I can understand wanting to look for photos of friends, what possible reason could someone have for only wanting to see pics of their male friends or female friends?
For the statistically inclined, of the 89% about 70% are either females I have or females I would have sex with.
For the pedantically inclined, you didn't specify the split of that 70%. For some reason for anyone talking about their sex life on slashdot, I'm inclined to think is skews all one way.
They're not on the same page. All that oppression Israel does of Palestine? China does that and far more, plus they harvest organs from political prisoners. The two aren't even in the same ballpark.
I can count the number of American products I bought in the past five years on that many fingers.
You're thinking consumer products not B2B stuff. The US manufactured quite a lot, but it's not low margin stuff that relies on cheap labour, poor working conditions and nonexistent environmental regulations.
Apart from big things like 787 airframes there's all sorts of incredibly obscure stuff that all sorts of industries run on that you won't have heard of.
There is a reason that today's young adults are referred to as "Generation Me" in marketing circles and that the phrase "entitlement culture" is heard so often.
There is a delightful irony in one group of people using the phrase "entitlement culture" to describe another group who won't give them money.
Same, plus another thing. Not only do they have little money, they seem to have the most aggressive competition for their nonexistenty cash. It's very strange.
In fact, the null-terminated string is actually safer than ptr+length because there is only ever one source of the string's length, and that is the string itself.... lolwut. A string (defined as pointer+length) is the string itself. The length is the only source of the string's length. There is preisely one source.
With a ptr+length solution there are many more opportunities for a string to have a length indicator that is different to it's actual length.
Yeah no one ever scribbled over a terminating null.
Please for the love of god stay away from C, you're a menace.
How about we have a sensible adult conversatio where we ignore the fanatics of any sort? Does Rust have fanatics who say stupid stuff? Yep. Does C? Oh hell yes. So does C++, python, Ruby, PHP and probably there's even a MUMPS fanatic out there if you look hard enough.
I'm a C++ developer day to day but familiar with lots of languages. I have read about Rust but neverused it in practice and aren't likely to start any time soon for various reasons. However...
While C does allow you to do a lot of dangerous things, a modern compiler will warn
Yes, a bit. Compiler warnings are getting better year on year. But they still miss a LOT of stuff. That's why we have static analyzers, valgrind and sanitizers.
The difference with Rust is it's baked into the type system so it's precise. Outside of a compiler bug (and unsafe block) you will NEVER get a use after free. The thing is in C++ you escape those by being careful about ownership. It's still possible to slip up though.
competent developer will know how to avoid most of them.
But, in general, as processors get faster, memory amounts in modern computers gets higher, we should move away from such languages except for projects that require them.
Kind of getting unnecessary though. Type systems have advanced to the point where you can have zero abstractions and memory safety. Nothing will obviate the need for competent programmers though.
First we were told cockroaches were the only things that were survive a nuclear war. Now we are to believe that insects are super fragile?
Gosh you're right! Cockroaches are insects. Thererfore all inscts are cockroaches. Let's expand it. Cockraoches are animals therefore all animals are cockraoches. Including you.
You probably just have fondest memories of hotbot,
Depends what you mean by fond. I tried all og the major ones at the time. I found that if I put enough effort in with search terms I could get better results than with the other ones.
I remember it being pretty tedious though and that's why I jumped to google as soon as I heard about it.
Pagerank isn't filtering, it is ordering.
I think in this case that's a meaningless distinction: if the list is longer than a user is ever going to read, then ranking is equivalent to filtering. I'm also fairly sure (though not 100%) that google started filtering out the porn from normal web searches very early on because that was ruining web searches on other platforms.
But OK, let's accept your oint that it's ranking not filtering. That still refutes the OP's point:
Google rose to prominence by showing the web as it was without fear or favour.
Ah I see you're not racist because you only say racist things, you don't actualy do them? Your action of typing out racist things and posting them on the internet is, well, a bit racist.
Hey here's a thing. If you could go "oh hey yeah I did simply dismiss Fatima al-Fihri, that wasn't good" and it's no harm no foul. Or you could simply be racist and own it. But what you're doing is wanting to be racist but never ever have anyone call you on it.
So stop being a coward, either admit your mistake (we all make them) or own your actions.
But we both know you won't do that. You see I remember you from before. When you finally lose an argument irrefutably instead of taking it like a man (I assume you're a dude anyway), you start flinging libellous accusations. Anyway now I remember you, I remember you have admitted defeat and accepted my arguments in the only way you know how.
So, good day to you. Clearly this argument is over and I shall graciously accept your concession of defeat. I shall not be replying further to this thread.
It's interesting that you think that demonstrable facts are on the same level as invented accusations. Did you vote for Trump by any chance. Anyway, here's you being racist (this is not the worse racism I've ever seen by a long shot, but you're still being racist):
You in your own words. Fatima Al-Fihri founded a university yet you don't accept it as a university, claiming superiority of European ones, despite the European ones starting as very similar institutions.
The only things that distinguish it are that Fatima Al-Fihri is brown and female. You offered no other explanation.
Unlike me, you can't actually back your accusations with anything. Which is why your response to a rational argument is to screech, bleat and virtue signal like it's going out of fashion.
Not at all; I think it's disgusting that you're going around randomly libeling people as "racist"
It's not random, it's you. And it's not libel if it's true. For example the other comment in this thread where you don't think that universities founded by brown women count but ones founded by white men do.
Unlike me, you have no evidence for your accusations, you're just doing your crybully thing.
Slashdot Mirror
Poor form, dude.

And yet, sharing killfiles was never popular until it was implemented for browser ad blockers.
Other than when people said *plonk* to loudly announce to the world that they'd just killfiled someone.

You're right. Definitely time to give up.
I just sometimes find it hard to remember that some people simply don't understand words.
While I can understand wanting to look for photos of friends, what possible reason could someone have for only wanting to see pics of their male friends or female friends?

Need labelmaker? Got a 1977 Dymo 1570 embosser for almost spare change.
I bought a new one. The letter spacing is much wider. The labels don't look nearly as nice and the labels take up more room.
Bought a Fox, made in England
TIL. I'll lokk out for them next time I'm in the market.
China, just as there is with Israel.
Comparing china to Israel?
They're not on the same page. All that oppression Israel does of Palestine? China does that and far more, plus they harvest organs from political prisoners. The two aren't even in the same ballpark.

Uhm, first one with 900+ vulnerabilities is Debian. What they don't indicate is what branch or branches of Debian is included.
plus debian comes with a lot of non critical stuff, applications, out of the box.
The ideology here is with the Rust fanatics

Who cares what you stated about yourself. Your actions are clear. You're demonstrably racist. And what are you on about minors? You're weird.
