The key of the matter is that California wants to tax, full stop. The socialist greenies running the state are neck deep in debt and making new exorbitant taxes is their only option. No wonder people are fleeing from the Californian dream i

There is no reason. We identify things in terms of words, not positions on the stack. We think "multiply first vector's y coord by second vector's z coord", not "multiply item 15 on the stack by item 12 on the stack

No amount of new features will ever vindicate C++. The language is so complex and so flawed on every level that it can only be deprecated and migrated away from. The only way to save developer time and woes is not to produce any new lines o

Just use a finally block to free the array even in case of exceptions. Or does C++ not have finally blocks?

Is it just me or something like Golang shouldn't be included in production builds at all?

When signing up for my current job, I didn't even bother bringing them my master's degree. Too bad because it's from one of top two tech unis in the country. Not to downplay the benefits of higher education, but it's cer

C is easy to learn but not to reason about. First of all, C is really C + macro-C, two separate languages that don't know about each other. Second, all the damn UB. Third, weak typing and fourth, memory errors. So no, reasoning about C

If C is not low-level anymore andnot fast without a ton of optimizations, then let's see a truly low-level language that's as fast or faster. Let's see Erlang or whatever consistently beat C. That's supposed to be easier

No, some atheists may allow for existence of an uncreated creator God. It's just that this hypothesis is so inconclusive, unprovable and uninteresting that most atheists don't opt to pursue it (or disprove it for that matter). Ass

Yes, religion will never die because it's primitive paleolithic thinking embedded in all of us. With education and development of critical thinking, however, anyone can get free of religion and become intelligent (though it IS a lot of

Go is just a half-baked joke language. Neither generics nor proper error handling nor a proper type system - whoever uses that crap just because it was made by Google is wasting their time. The only thing Golang has been succesful at is pro

No, corrupt politicians rely on the FBI and the deep state and corrupt media to try to impeach an anti-establishment president. Yet to a lot of people it's not obvious they're being immoral, because the bought and paid for media p

They're bad because the world isn't producing nearly enough electricity for us all to go electric. And producing more electricity IS going to be bad for the environment.

Monads are still programmable semi-colons, though. Yes, there are a lot of things you can program into a line-end symbol. Yes, some of those things are general and work for any already modded semi-colon. But it's still just programmabl

C++ templates are not the gold standard of generics. In fact, they are a glorified text substitution system, totally broken and flawed. Generics are still absolutely necessary for ANY serious programming language. They are required by the D

An average person today with e.g. a car, a shower and a smartphone with internet access is already richer than any of the kings of the past. Retirement plans also didn't exist or were not widespread. Dentistry and birthcare were either

It's still C all the way down, even in 2019. Amazing how far crappy, badly thought out, ubiquitous, low entry barrier languages can go. More than 40 years of memory errors, out of bounds errors, broken metaprogramming, undefined behavi

I'm a Gentoo user and your problems with "systemd" look quaint to me. I mean I've heard about such a thing as "systemd" that turns Linux into Lindows, but I've no idea why anyone would use it when an aweso

It would be much easier without the moving target of new Javascript features that browsers have to keep up with. With a real, mature, nonbroken language there would be no need to add new features every year. Someone said that Python is badl

Thanks, I appreciate it as I go on to the third day of trying to find why Javascript cannot get the correct width of an image but only under some circumstances unconnected to the JS code.

The state of Javascript in 2019 is that it should be deprecated. I have never had more problems, undefined behavior, mysterious errors and malfunctions, dependency hell and generally shitty syntax as when dealing with Javascript. God, pleas
