It shouldn't be hard to post examples then.

Do you ban similar comments from the other side ?

>the correct approach would have been for Destiny to take legal action, instead of vigilantism. So the correct response to percieved harrassment is indeed taking legal action, and not, say, mobilizing mobs to retaliate back ? Mmm, I wo

All of this is irrelevant and besides the point, 'hate speech' is not a magical word you say when mean people on the internet say things you don't like. If you can't prove material damage in a court, it should be allowed

Actually, yes it is. Just because you made up a new word to describe opinions you don't like doesn't mean those opinons aren't covered by free speech.

>No, that is the entire point of exceptions Which is why they're bad design. The comparison to function calls is misleading : - Function calls are named , given a function name you can always go to a function definition and see f

When I'm done explaining how it's you, actually, who is the one who doesn't understand basic programming language theory and terms, and how you keep embarrassing yourself with hilariously false objections, you will probably n

I understand how exceptions work, apparently much better than you, if your other comment is anything to judge by. If you're insecure enough that my different opinions about what good code is and how it should be written leads you to cl

The funny thing about those sentiments is, aside from how exaggerated their proportions are (only a single judge in the Supreme Court remarked in passing about revisiting Obergefell, and the very hysterically-named Florida bill is literal

There is no distinction between "regular" and "error" control flow when it comes to reasoning and understanding, they are both control flow, they both need to be planned and synchronized in the programmer's head. Th

That's a very cliche and unnaunced point of view. If you like thinking about your code, you have assembly, I think x86 is a very nice flavor for you, will all its 40+ years galore of special cases. There are Turing Machines, for really

>I don't get that. Call/Return Pairs are balanced at runtime, not lexically. From all possible returns in a function, only a single one runs, and terminates the whole function. Every call site is paired, at runtime, with a sing

by Banana699 4y ago
Yes exactly, exceptions are much much nastier returns. Returns only go up exactly 1 frame, and the call/return pairs are balanced no matter what. Exceptions can unwind the entire stack, and the throw/catch pairs aren't balanc

I'm not sure you're giving that argument all what it deserves. Control structures and function calls are a very statically-well-behaved control flow: unlike gotos, when you see a jump you know exactly where its destination is (r

Yes exactly, any language with zero\low cost type definitions and natural use of custom types (they don't look second class in e.g operators) would automate what Joel calls Apps Hungarian (the original Hungarian notation). In fact, goo

You can make a religion out of this.

It's doubly hilarious how worrying about "anti-trans and anti-gay panics" is itself a moral panic and a faulty virtue signalling mechanism.

Yeah GP just casually described a Utopian ideal.

I wasn't engaging in personal attacks, it's what I sincerely think of religions and their followers. What good is niceness when it's not sincere? Would you prefer if I pretended to like or respect you or your ideology while s

Not necessarily, there are plenty of non-normalized things that are not political. Like I said, being political is first and foremost an attitude, a very specific attitude that nothing matters except your very own pet issue, and the willing

Eh, I respectfully disagree to your disrespectful disagreement. Things are just different, there is no way around that. Citing past experience is cheating, if you had already encountered X before to the point that learning it in detail is a

It's utterly hilarious how you think the person who cites research and asks specific concrete questions (which, as a reminder, you hadn't answered yet) is the one who talks in circles and strokes his ego. Yeah, 15 years in industr

Great analogy, too bad it's hyperbolic and doesn't actually say anything about the situations it's supposed to help us think about. People need to get it through their head that speech is not violence, words are not weapons.

So something that is used to develop something that later generates billions of dollar of profits isn't, in itself, responsible in part for those billions of dollars ? So by this reasoning, something like Linux has exactly $0 value in

I wouldn't be so quick. #1 is usually implemented by Deep Reinforcement Learning systems, RL is an AI paradigm descended from Control Theory and is used extensively elsewhere in Optimization and Operations Research. Here[0] for example
