If by "glass cockipit model" you mean replacing mechanical buttons that you can find intuitively/immediately with the large iPad in the middle that has no tactile feedback and that you have to take your eyes off the road to use, then as far as I'm concerned you can keep it.
>> Employers have the financial resources to CRUSH you like the insignificant insect that you are. That's reality.
Ridiculous. All they can do is fire you. Chances are they won't because they need you, otherwise they wouldn't be hiring you in the first place. If they only need you because you're a pushover and easily taken advantage of, then you're better off out of there anyway.
I saw a model X at my local coffee shop the other day, The owner had parked with both rear doors open, obviously attention whoring. Before I cast final judgement on the practicality of the wing doors I think I would have to live with them to experience the plusses and minusses. I could certainly see how a low garage like mine could block them, for example. I couldn;t see much advantage, especially as its the rear doors not front ones, so unless you have kids they won;t really get used much,
To me, the styling of the car itself looked disjointed and awkward, especially as the front doors open conventionally. I think it clearly falls somewhere between ugly and bland, but lots of people were looking at it, so I'm almost certainly in the minority. In person its very reminiscent of an enlarged Nissan Leaf, or maybe one of those cars for disabled people in wheelchairs. It definately didn't look like it should cost anything like the $85k+ base price. The interior was also very soulless and surprisingly cheap-looking. Looking at the shut lines and other details, it was clear that the build quality was no better than the average 30k Hyundai or whatever. I think most people looking at it who didn't already know what it was, would almost cetainly guess it was a $30-35k car.
>> To my eye, Tesla's cars look less like they're trying to be different as electrics than Toyota's or GM's,
Maybe, but to my eye Tesla's styling is unattractive, especially the front grill. Its somewhere between bland and downright ugly. Kinda like nearly all German cars.
Tesla stock is WAAAY over-valued. There's no way Tesla are selling as much as Ford. Tesla's entire sales history doesn't come even close to only one year of just F150 sales.

You know its blindingly easy to make up some bullshit reason why some cheap indian guy happens to be the worlds expert in something obscure, like the hello world app he just wrote.
dont be a dumbass. I'm OBVIOUSLY not talking about debugging the STL itself, I mean if a call to it is wrong somehow, it blows up with an impossible stack trace to follow.

Err whut? Sure it is. Just like with any function call, the CPU needs to know the return address. There's nothing magical about tail-end recursion, its still just a bunch of function calls (that need to return).

The cost of that is much inflexibility and horrible side-effects if the implementation ever gets changed by someone/something who doesn't know to not do any of the above.
I've been programming in C/C++ for over 35 years. I'm fairly sure I already know about typdef. And no, just adding yet more layers of abstraction isn't a good solution either.

There, I fixed it for you.

This totally applies to systemd too.

I used to be a cinema fan but watching blu-rays on my 65" 4K OLED makes even most cinema screens look pretty second rate.
You can keep your crowds of distracting people and quadruple-priced candy/sodas thanks.
Grow some balls and post as yourself and I'll bother to answer why you're so wrong.
>> You stand up to your employer in today's climate and you become unemployed.
Thats a great sign that you're better off out of there anyway.
>> Turning 40 and...Perhaps not for you...
Yeah you're right. I'm 54 and am getting job offers coming in all the time.
>> ... but it happens.
Then maybe you need to not be so passive, grow some balls, and learn some new skills that people actually need.

Sorry but I have little sympathy for people that wont stand up to their employer even when obviously being taken advantage of or even abused.

Nah the stock market looks like a mug's game to me.

Given nearly all the worlds fastest computers are Linux-based CUDA machines, you're full of it.

sorry slashdot annoyingly reformatted my post. Imagine the comments on their own lines, and indicating implementation to be added.
Then that isn't tail recursion. At least on my CS degree we were taught:
Head recursion: // do work here
f(p) {
f(p'); }
Tail recursion: // calculate p' // do work here
f(p) {
f(p');
}

Servers are PCs too. The vast majority of the internet is hosted on Linux. Compared to linux, Windows is hardly used at all in the server world.
Thanks for proving my point, troll.

>> Those subjects are covered in the compiler book, which was previously used as a textbook in the early 1990's.
Great, Thats all you need.
Who said anything about verbosity being a problem?
Using STL fundamentally causes multiple problems. Have you ever tried debugging it for example?
>> Still don't know whether or not it's an April Fool's Joke and whether or not you're some kind of troll,
It's pretty clear that you're the troll here.
Nope I think you're right. I can't think of one other thing.
I've been programming in C/C++ for over 35 years. I'm fairly sure I already know about typdef.
And no, just adding yet more layers of abstraction isn't a good solution either.
