If you are labouring under the impression that the code is immutable after the first execution and is executed only once. Just look at our simulations - if something is awry, it is stopped. The problem code is fixed, and the simulation is reset to a point before the problem did anything untoward. If we are in the simulation we won't notice anything, even if the simulation was taken off-line for aeons. You seem to have rather a high opinion of yourself if you think you would somehow notice this.
You are conflating some very different ideas, based on some superficial understanding you have of them. Don't do that. He might be expressing ideas somewhat reminiscent of religious beliefs, but there is a rather large difference: There is actual grounding for his position, as opposed to stories passed down generation-to-generation in order to explain the complexities of their universe beyond their comprehension.
It's always tempting to make a tiny leap of logic to condemn someone you don't like, but it's clearly not a very rational thing to do.
I think the reason you are attracting such replies is that you appear to be completely ignoring the changes in computing since C++ came out. The two are clearly not comparable, as C++ was developed during a time where access to the internet was out of reach of most people. Where languages had to be incredibly stable simply because changes to them could not be disseminated to all affected parties very quickly. Where documentation was in printed books instead of digital. Where transpilers were a lot less effective as they are now. This is just scraping the surface - the differences between then and now are like night and day, yet you made absolutely no reference to them. I think if you accepted that what happened to a relatively low-level language back then might not be particularly relevant to a high-level language now (and maybe calmed down a tad) you might be having more of a discussion and less of an argument.
So when do the armed people take to the streets and use their guns to take back power? If not now, what will it take? Or is the corrosion of democracy not important enough?
Reaction Engines Limited are aiming for a 90% reduction in launch costs, should their SSTO vehicle come to market. They've cracked the most difficult part (the insanely efficient, small and light precooler)...
Don't make such sweeping generalisations. Where you live that might be the case, but in much of the rest of the developed world this alleged persecution of white middle aged guys isn't happening. Oh won't someone please think of the poor middle aged white guys!?.
Making sweeping generalisations is not a particularly rational thing to do. If I were to follow your lead, I would end up calling all old people tragically illogical, based purely on your post.
The problem was that IE's rendering engine was used throughout Windows, from rendering Explorer windows to help file contents. It really was impossible to remove from Windows. All that ended up getting removed was the UI for IE - the actual guts of the thing were still there.
Your logic claiming that if MS says something is impossible it means that it is possible is troubling - it's not based on anything concrete (outside your misunderstanding of the previous situation), and is clearly logically absurd.
People aren't "censoring" you, they just disagree with your childish interpretation of the scientific method, and modding your drivel appropriately. Or should everyone be at +5 all the time so your poor little feelings don't get hurt?
That wouldn't change, except the company would have to formally agree with the employer that they would be working out of hours, and the compensation the employee receives for being available. This is just to protect people who don't have such protection and are still required to respond to emails on their own time.
Yes, you should be paying for it. You are their employer, and you are expecting them to do something on their own time. You are the one not being a decent human being - you are expecting to get their time for free. If their effort is worth something to your company, you should compensate them for it. If it's not worth something to your company, you shouldn't be asking them to do it.
Why do your employees have to exhibit basic human decency, but you don't have to?
In the UK all sorts of things are included in "violent crime", including some forms of verbal assault. Comparing that across borders is not going to serve any useful purpose.
The Earth should be cooling, yet it is warming. Human activity is responsible for all of that warming, including countering the expected natural cooling.
Progress so far was not just accidental. It was a systematic approach, discovering and improving solutions to identified problems. Hoping it will work out without putting the effort in to making sure it works out is lazy and dangerous.

More evidence that bobbied doesn't really have a clue...
If it's not permanent it's not technically burn-in.

You really do know next to nothing about security, it seems.

If that's your idea or chilling, no wonder you hate SJWs so much!
To the privileged, equality seems like oppression. You poor baby.
Did Microsoft name their new browser after you?
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
You are assuming there will be no advances in battery technology in the next 9 years.
So that means it makes sense to screw us over now? Your argument makes no sense at all.

You can still arrange that with your employer. Nothing changes for you.
Until we figure out, we just won't ever know. This is the entirety of the issue, which you seem to have missed entirely.

Or maybe you can provide such a source? Asking others to do your legwork is incredibly lazy and reeks of you betting they won't.
