Have you not yet realized that the only valid reason to cite anything in the WaPo is to highlight the problem of incredibly biased reporting that now exists in the US media?
STL does not equal C++. Its perfectly easy to use C++ without going overboard on STL. Have you ever tried debugging template-heavy code? It can easily get somewhere between insane and impossible. I've already written my own library of objects for all that stuff you mention, with not a template in sight.
Completely true but its amazing however so many women out there clearly believe, or more to the point act like, it does. I suppose that's what happens when you're raised in a society that brainwashes females all the time with the message that they are all special little princesses.

You're really gonna use this as an excuse to introduce the tired old male supremacy straw-man? Of course it isn't. It's actually reserved for those who pay the bills.i.e. the players, regardless of their gender.
I stopped taking any jobs that were Microsoft-based back in the early 90's, but I believe the Microsoft C compiler/C-library is still not even POSIX-compliant.
G++ is and always has been the gold standard. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it has always implemented the full language spec. Of course Microsoft would blame the language rather then their own lack of capability. The truth is that everything they've ever turned out has always been a fucked up piece of shit, and opensource community stuff has always showed their products up.
C++ is fine as long as you stay at a feature level before C++11 and don't use STL (well maybe simple use of containers like string a vector are OK but definately stop there).
yeah. I've seen plenty of companies that expect (i.e. dont even ask) you to work an extra 15 hours/week UNPAID just because they are missing a deadline which they promise is an exceptional situation but is clearly planned in and happens every other week.I mean we hired you because you're a team player right? Also factor in that many US companies start employees on 10 days/year paid leave and then have the balls to even take 2 or 3 of those back for non-voluntary shutdown over Christmas, and I would argue the US has some of the most oppressed salaried employees in the world.
Yep by all rights Tesla should have imploded by now, but you can bet there's some backroom support going on from the government as they LOVE the idea of permanently connected cars that collect and report every bit of data on their owners driving habits, and that the government can remotely control.

This badly needs to happen....I cant imagine companies like Facebook actually playing along with it for a single moment though, even if they claim they are.

Before the first Star Wars movie came along, Sci Fi moviemaking was in the doldrums, the norm had become standard B movie fare, men in cheesy rubber monster suits and "special" effects so cheap that they didn't even bother hiding the strings. The plot was inevitably at best a simple variant of "monster kidnaps cute girl, hero scours the galaxy to find and kill monster, so saves a now grateful and in-love girl."
The effect the original Star Wars movie's truly new moviemaking and storytelling concepts had on revitalizing the entire Sci-Fi genre and even world in general was so large that it redefined the way all sci-fi moves are made to this day.
The reason you can't appreciate it is exactly because the change it triggered was so fundamental that people your age and younger have no basis for comparison.
I agree that Lucas's vision sounds awful but the franchise is not in safe hands with Disney either. They are also clearly going down the "lets fuck the whole thing up" road. I mean look at Solo. What a turd that was. Even I, a longtime Star Wars fan actually fell asleep in the theater and couldn't wait for the movie to finally end, it really was that insipid and BORING.
If inadvertently end up anywhere that has those tablet things, the first thing I do when I sit down is move it (usually onto an adjacent empty table else if there is one).
Hey welcome to the free market. If the enough people don't actually like a particular waiter for whatever reason, who are you to say that they should be forced on them?...Or maybe its actually you that is discriminating against people just because they choose not to march lockstep with your peecee liberal agenda?
What makes you think and AI would stop at just the leaders? I mean if you look at humankind objectively/logically we're basically a planet-wide parasitic infection that is destroying everything else.

This type of thinking is exactly why Tesla's cars have shit quality.
C++ != STL
Debugging with GDB code that makes heavy use of templates is a friking nightmare.

Except that many if not the majority of them are actually economic refugees, not actually coming from a warzone.

No you don't get it. Many are millennials.
Yeah it seems to have plummeted exactly because of enforcement.

Yeah I have kids. I also know that its not good parenting to always indulge them and make life easy for them all the time.
Dont like it? then stop buying them.
The only reason Loot boxes are still even a thing is because there are customers for them.

Why is this only implemented for FB? Why aren;t they sandboxing everything by default?
