Seems like every language is making backwards incomparable changes. [snip] You won't be replacing C/C++ if you break everyone's code every 18 months.
C and C++ are different languages. While C++ is mostly a superset of C99, and there was some cross-pollination of features between them since, there are enough idiomatic differences between them to make "C/C++" meaningless, unless you refer to "writing C style code while using some C++ features" (a.k.a "C with classes"), which, IMHO, is not a good choice of programming style in most cases.
Regardless, both C an C++ try to be backward compatible in their corresponding revisions, and most breaking changes fall into the category of "you shouldn't have been doing it anyway".
And no, this is not intended to be a discussion on the merits (or lack thereof) of those languages, though I suspect it will devolve to it.
How does this affect anyone or than the two participants at all? Why should I or anyone else care about a chess championship? How does this solve any problems or make anyone's life better? There are far better things to be concerned with, like the impending war in Ukraine or man-made climate change. Priorities matter, and this seems utterly useless.
Why are you wasting your and every one else's time posting on/. instead of volunteering to peacekeeping missions in Ukraine or working on reversing climate change? Priorities matter, and this seems utterly useless.
So can anyone explain to me why a chess championship is worthwhile at all? I suspect I'll be censored to -1 because I'm not supposed to ask the tough questions, but someone needs to do it. Why would anyone at all consider chess championships a worthwhile thing? Rather than answer my important question, this will be swept under the rug by censoring my post to -1. Prove me wrong and answer my simple question about why I or anyone else should care about chess championships.
I could try making you understand, but I have better things to do with my time. After all, priorities matter, and this seems utterly useless.
The constitution requires giving the creators "exclusive right" of the work.
No it doesn't. It allows congress to give the creators "exclusive right" for limited times.
U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8: The Congress shall have Power [...] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
And I would like to add for the record that 5 nanoseconds satisfies "for limited times" quite well.
I see a lot of anger in the comments so far directed towards the police, not just the officers in this swat incident but generally. Well, think of this the next time there's another call to hand over all our guns to the government because, "you can just call the police".
Now fix the on-call violence delivery service. At least add: - accountability for police - mandatory fact-finding before believing whatever story a caller wants to tell - body cameras with recordings available to the public (maybe with some controls if you're scared of the public having access to the information for whatever reason) - specific trading requirements for SWAT teams, with presumed liability for failure to train - a duty for the police to make a genuine attempt protect the life and dignity of everyone they encounter
I'll settle for just the first one, the rest are either included in it or will naturally follow. Unfortunately, it will never happen.
Lawyers are the biggest roadblocks on the way of justice.
Can you define "justice" for us?
Probably not without spending way more time on it than I care to.
However, I can say that when the outcome of a legal process depends largely on the amount of money one is able to spend spend on their legal team, it is definitely NOT justice.
Then the law needs to change. Domestic surveillance of non criminals [emphasis mine] by any 'authority' is shameful, wrong, and worth having a war over.
Excellent tip. Could you explain how? I would like to try. But my understanding is that getting a single account deleted is already quite hard to accomplish for most people. How do you delete Facebook in its entirety?
That's the best definition of evil I have ever seen on this site.
Moustache-twirling, cat-stroking comic-book villains do not exist outside of comic books and movies. Real life villains are just that - people that don't give a shit.
Wickard v. Filburn, and the following Gonzales v.. Raich, showed that even private activity can be regulated as "interstate commerce", and even though United States v. Lopez seemed to limit the power, it specifically mentioned that the federal government is allowed to regulate the "channels" and the "instrumentalities" of interstate commerce, which they will argue that ISPs and the Internet in general falls under.
Also don't forget that it will be heard by a stacked (and not in your favour) supreme court.

[How about] security first? Oh no? Yeah, thought so.
Well, it worked for Intel. Oh, wait...
Jewish isn't a race, it's a religion.
Educate yourself.
They claimed that "there are a number of inaccuracies in the story".
Zero is a number.

This is why we hate monopolies.
In the internet sales business, Amazon has effectively become a monopoly.
*cough* AliExpress *cough*
You aren't going to change the market. Legislation is the way to go to enforce a better support policy.
Statistically speaking, the vast majority of US legislation is written to benefit special interest groups at the expense of the general public.
I did...my last 3 phones have had 4,000mAH batteries, and were great!
Which ones?
Why do you have to choose from these overpriced phones? There are plenty sub 200 dollar phones with 3000-400mAh batteries.
Suggestions?

Probably because you were all out of bubblegum.
Then the law needs to change. Domestic surveillance of non criminals [emphasis mine] by any 'authority' is shameful, wrong, and worth having a war over.
There is a simple solution: ensure that there is no such thing as "non criminals".
Undercover police are not committing crimes, they are working to catch other people who are committing crimes.
Except for when they are committing crimes in order to seem like a legitimate criminal, entrapping other criminals.
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
A mere technicality, soon to be corrected by a rider attached to the next "must pass" omnibus legislation.
(Isn't it how things are done in the US?)

Problem: No girlfriend.
I feel your pain, dude.
Or better yet, why don't they put their money into buying tractors from one of John Deere's many competitors (like Case, Massey Ferguson, etc.)?
Which one of those is repair-friendly?
Because the EULA says otherwise.
