Wait as second ... it's not already the case?

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." -- Andrew S. Tanenbaum

Here you go, draw the line:

6) Any day that John gets hurt is a good day.

7) I cheer on anyone who punches someone like John.

Once you incite violence, you've crossed the line.

cmake is supported since VS2017.

On a macintosh or a linux machine, I can type gcc my_program.c -o my_program and I'm done.

I love to bash MS just like the next /. reader, but compare apples to apples:

C:\w>echo int main(int argc,char *argv[]){return 0;} >foo.c

C:\w>cl foo.c
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27027.1 for x86

foo.c
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 14.16.27027.1

/out:foo.exe
foo.obj
C:\w>dir foo*
...
04/03/2019 08:16 AM 46 foo.c
04/03/2019 08:16 AM 78,336 foo.exe
04/03/2019 08:16 AM 564 foo.obj

Now compare how you display STL container or string in GDB and Visual Studio.

Years ago I grabbed a google account when they were first time promoted to the public. Later I started using that account with "Google Talk" service configured as a Jabber chat with XMMP federation(?). Google Talk was reportedly killed ~6 years ago and (if I understand that correctly) replaced by Google Hangouts which is not based on XMMP. Yet, the 3rd-party IM programs (Pidgin, MirandaNG, kopete, ...) keep working with that account and I can use that to chat with people that use GMail in a browser. My IM program currently shows TCP connection on port 5222 to 108.177.127.125. The IP address does not resolve in DNS but it belongs to netblock of Google Inc.

So this is getting me confused ... what am I actually using? XMMP? Jabber? Google Talk? Google Hangounts? Magic?

This is a disaster. My world falls apart. So first the Mueller report does not find sufficient evidence against Trump and now you say that even climate change is not real? What's going to be next? Mass shootings having nothing to do with gun law?

Experience varies directly with equipment ruined.

Fire you? I've just invested one million dollars in your education, and you think I'm going to fire you? - Thomas Watson, IBM

Ask Jim Bell.

Kids aren't doing this because they genuinely give a damn about Climate Change.
They're doing it because it's a convenient excuse to get out of school.

So you think students are too stupid to make a change in the world? Ever heard of International Students' Day? What about Velvet revolution?

There are a few sacred key combinations...

How about Ctrl+Shift+Esc - to invoke Task Manager? On some machines now works only with Right Ctrl + Right Shift + Esc.

The Windows API has not changed significantly in several decades.

Windows look however did. If you want your application to blend in, then it needs updating. Also if you wrote something low-level such as printer drivers, then your W95 code will not run W10.

The price of the nuclear plant is high due mountains of red tape which is a direct result of nuclear scare.

If vaccines work as advertised, the only people anti-vaxers are POTENTIALLY hurting is themselves.

Who claimed that?! Except you?

Nobody sane says that vaccinated people are 100% immune.

Car analogy: If you go 200 km/h in a city and the tire bursts, we cannot accurately predict which of you bones will break or how many of them will break. But I'm pretty sure, it is going to hurt a lot. Better slow down.

Devils' advocate: The company Y has better technology and only needs to undercut the company X by 0.1% in order to be competitive. If company X has to raise the price by T in order to pay the carbon tax, then the company Y can raise the prices too by T and pocket the difference. Why wouldn't they? Is Y going to lose customers if they raise prices but still cost less then X?
Your idea only works if Y says: "Oh, we have enough profits as it is. Why would we follow the market and raise the prices too? "

So, please, tell us: what is your prediction? We are eager to find out if your prediction proves to be more accurate.

I read your reply. Twice. Did not found the answer to my question: what is your suggestion of a trustworthy source? What is the source that "is not under the direct political control of people who stand to gain from the results of their predictions" ?

This is the case with many issues. Climate change, Syria, presidential election, brexit, health care, migration, ... everyone has an opinion on what should be rejected. It is much more difficult to find an universally accepted opinion on what should be embraced.

You are right. UN is the least trustworthy. Except of all the others.
Genuinely curious: what is your suggestion of a a more trustworthy source?

Just yesterday I noticed that "Diagnostic Tools" view in Visual Studio 2017 says: "The content requires a new version of Internet Explorer"

So what is your prediction?

Some of them do. See: the Trump's Wall.

So you can violate the law and get away with it if nobody can prove harm? Amazing.

No cloud nor synergy? No cigar.
