> Since when is a pragma a "shitty hack"?
Are you really that fucking stupid? Wait, that was a rhetorical question -- we already know the answer to that.
a) The FACT that this is enabled by default for ECMAScript's 6 modules should tell you that this was a HACK.
b) Do you actually understand _anything_ about type safety and misspelling, at all?? Maybe if you had spent 30 years programming you would understand the importance of compile-time error detection and type safety? Gee, things that make our job of programming easier Go figure!
c) Why do you keep making excuses for a shitty designed language?
Never mind the fact that converting from a string to a var will OVERFLOW and NOT be EXACT.
var s = '9223372036854775808', n = parseInt(s); console.log( n );// 9223372036854776000// *facepalm*
Oh, look we have Number.isSafeInteger() but, gee thanks, for a mostly useless function as this _still_ doesn't solve the problem of needing an int64_t type.
var s = '9223372036854775808', n = parseInt(s); console.log( Number.isSafeInteger( n ) );
var n = (1 << 63); console.log( n );// -2147483648;// *facepalm*
I need an _exact_ native int64_t and uint64_t type -- WHEN will this be supported? Why do I have to use stupid hacks like "a | 0" to cast to an int??
Javascript broken == operator is so fucked up it is laughable. WTF is the point of even having '==' when every smart programmer will use '===' instead???
The four biggest reasons Javascript is a such as piece of shit:
1. Automatic type conversions will get one in trouble:
> You will end up with government agencies putting an income tax on robots and using that money to pay the unemployed a survival income.
Hijacking a "solution" to the symptom instead of fixing the cause is idiotic.
Humans are the stupidest animals on the planet: Every other species has "figured" out how to live, without money, for millions of years on our home planet except humans.
The whole concept of money is based on a fallacy: There is never enough.
> I think in the next 50 years there are going to be some pretty big social problems
True. The fundamental concept of greed has perverted, corrupted, and distorted life on this planet: You no longer own anything. HINT: If you pay tax on it, you DON'T "own" it. For the clueless in denial, look up: Allodial Title.
> with 20-40% of the worlds population having (worse in affluent nations) having nothing to do thanks to automation.
Incorrect but not for the reasons you think:
- Zero Point Energy is going to change our fundamental understanding of money. Technology is the "great equalizer". When every country has access to unlimited energy there will no longer the HUGE imbalance between the have's and have-nots. - Our cosmic neighbors & progenitors will gently remind us that we don't own anything, not even "our" planet.
Seriously, what is the quality of a human life where it is wasted when they spend 14+ hours / day assembling components only to be sold over-seas for 100+% markup??? Humans don't deserve that kind of soulless, dehumanizing, work, just to exist.
> Not everyone can be a lawyer or engineer
Good news everyone! Not everyone WANTS to be a lawyer or engineer! Besides, we _already_ have enough corrupt laws, we don't need more useless lawyers. i.e. The fucking Federal Tax Code is over 74,000 pages. WTF? In what sane / rational world is a person expected to a) Know, and b) Follow this shit?!?! The entire fucking thing could be simplified to ONE sentence: 10% tax on every transaction over $1. No more tax holes where those with more money find ways to "bypass" their fair share.
However, people DO love one thing: To express themselves / to create.
We're on the dawn of a new era. Instead of the billions wasted on killing one another, when we collectively decide to "spiritually grow the fuck up" you'll see all sorts of new projects. There is more then enough "work" for everyone. We're just too busy killing ourselves to see it.
And the source for Telemetry.cpp are where again? Because they aren't in crt/src/vcruntime/vcruntime_internal.h

There are two different // implementations in telemetry.cpp and telemetrydefault.cpp. Because GetModuleFileName // is not available for Store apps, we return an empty string in telemetrydefault.cpp // when invoked by store apps.

> You know what friend? It's not 1994, you can stop hating MS now.
Then why do I have to put up with Microshit's undocumented telemetry crap in Microsoft Visual C 2015 ? This bullshit shenanigans are _exactly_ why I hate M$. It should be opt in, NOT opt out.
Yes, totally agree! The USA is poking a sleeping giant.
This short-sightedness is going to come back and bite us in the ass. You know, I know it, but sadly it seems the politicians don't have a clue.
America became great because it _helped_ other counties. We should be setting a _positive_ example for other countries, not fucking them over every chance we get.
Unfortunately a lot of people believe (rightly or wrongly) the masses want stuff dumbed down to their level. Almost no one is interested in True Sci-Fi: the (social) implications of technology; most people would rather watch total crap like someone else's fake life aka Unreality Shows such as The Kartrashians, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Soaps, etc. instead of living their own interesting life because their own life is boring.
