I notice that all the sponsors are democrats. So what clause in the bill preserves the right of the dead to vote.
Wait. I got it. Paper ballots make it harder to tabulate votes and catch voter fraud. Not to mention all those ballots that Democrats conveniently find in the trunk of cars a day after the election.
Electronic vote tallying could be much safer and cheaper. Keep the machines off the internet, except for write only reporting or highly secure connections. Start a commission, through some high level CIA technicians on it and design a system.
Recursion is either so easy it is more of a trick than a useful tool, or it is more complex in which case it is generally much harder to get the terminal conditions right then it is to avoid recursion.
I remember when I learned C, digging through K&R to find how to do goto. I also remember learning ruby and not even thinking about whether or not goto was supported. It really isn't needed and as Dikstra pointed out is mostly used for creating sloppy code.
This is what I said on Ars. It applies equally here.
1. It is premature to say that Assange is weaseled out until Manning is actually out of jail. 2. There is a difference between a pardon and commutation. Manning certainly will not be able to live the same life as though Mannig were pardoned. There are still restrictions placed on a person whose sentence was commuted. Whether those differences are significant enough is up to debate. 3. The biggest thing to strike me is that this suggests that there will be no last minute pardon of Hillary. The arguments that Obama gives for not pardoning Snowden apply equally to Hillary. We shall see.
I am using LMDE but am seriously looking for other things. Their fight with google is just stupid. I get tired of setting up google each time I create a new user or profile.
That is simply not true. A lot of OO was there for the picking. Object based programming, for example, was visible in Xt and Xaw. There is not much difference between object method and QtCall(widget,...). Polymorphism was present even in early Unix in filesystem object being used for everything possible to quicksort in C.
Good programmers were using those techniques. Average programmers were unfamiliar with those techniques. Like RAII in the 90s.
The OO revolution was in large part taking those techniques and replacing the clunky software tools, like structs and function pointers in C with more developed tools like classes in C++. That's why there was great deal of interest in things like Flavors.
That's what they were saying about COBOL in the 80's. That's what they were saying about LISP in the 90's. That's what they were saying about Eiffel in the 2000's.
It's what diehards say about every dying language.
The whole thing sounds and feels great, until you realize that thousands of two and three line methods and no methods larger then 20 lines is not that great.
Plus the tools, like for example, editors, grep, etc. all have to be written from scratch thus lag behind common tools. Though other languages are ( stupidly ) going the same way.
Something like RUby which draws a lot of ideas from Smalltalk works better.

I was looking at a video of a guy firing a Gyrojet. I was wondering if eventually the things cvould be 3D printed or mass produced on a CNC mill.
The gun itself would not be much of a problem, but the rounds would be interesting.
The more this shit spreads out from the software world, the sooner it ends.
how many C64 do you need to hook up in parralell to get the power of one Pi?
Ok you need a keyboard/mouse and power supply but the Pi does give you HDMI ( the present day equivalent of RF/vid/audio).
You do know that Mic4rosoft wrote the Commodore 64 Basic?
"NMeet the new boos same as the old boss."
Reducing compute times/memory usage by 0.1% in big data centers reduces the cost of electricity and cooling by millions.
Reducing compute times/memory usage in battery powered devices increases battery lifetime.
I view C++ as a better choice then C though, who can code a linked list from scratch more efficient then what they do? You get more abstraction power.
A C64 game written in C++17.
were planning on making the same comment if it wasn't already here?

... lots of present stuff, like the keyboard I'm typing on, laptop cases, tablets, chairs, clothes etc?
It's sad when people don't remember wgere names come from. Like why Borland called it Delphi.
Not to mention Lisp, Eiffel and ADA.
Well then there is nothing to worry about and we agree that Obama should not pardon Hillary.
As for the "Clinton Crime Syndcycatge Rhetoric" being over, you have heard that she is contemplating running for mayor of NY.

Nope. In many states a prescription is not even required.
There is nothing hard about a syringe. Especially if you preload it.

For one thing systemD is not a file system

All of which happened not because Microsoft wanted to extend their monopoly position to megamonooly positions.
Not any technical quality.
Borland was only slightly cross platform and that was only a half hearted attempt.
