> few students with poor parents (disproportionally people of color) will stay in shitty regular school. I'm white and this was me. If it weren't for these programs, I'd either be in jail or working retail/fast food.

Yes but we're talking about today. And C's smallness/simplicity means that bootstrapping on new architectures is straightforward. Meanwhile Rust needs 64bit, etc. just to build. Rust's early embrace of compile-time compl

> pointing out that such information is available somewhere if I look hard enough does not disprove anything. I didn't look very hard, I went to the language reference and searched for "?" in the Tokens section.

I'm amazed by the hostility of these comments, including personal attacks, and by this post being flagged. The author isn't some nobody who just finished a boot camp, but a very skilled C hacker. He makes a good argument for the i

Ordering isn't the bottleneck at In n Out, it's the food made fresh, sometimes for custom orders. The menu itself couldn't be much simpler. The kids taking down the orders work quickly and are always at the end of the line. T

That's the great thing about math: It doesn't care how sincerely you believe that 6 and 9 are the same number. In other words, the kind of game you're talking about can only go on for so long before cold reality makes itself

I've worked in newsrooms and disagree with this saintly image of truth-seekers. Yes, the rank and file reporters are not looking to grind an axe; even if they were, they'd be too busy to do it. The well-known writers have huge ego

She's wrong to imply that if only SolarWinds had followed her iPad password policy, the attack would have been stopped. And she's mistaken about Orion's use case, which has nothing to do with email security. And while Russia

Nobody's paying that much for a 2013 MBP. The will have to lower the price considerably before it's "going."

People focus on the password because it's the only part of the story they can relate to or understand. Orange County Rep. Katie Porter: > "I've got a stronger password than 'solarwinds123' to stop my kids from wa

Too old to recognize the brand, but I'm not following the logic here at all. What kind of clothing manufacturer do you find most appropriate for a street tough?

Keep in mind this post is lolspeed porn, not a compelling argument against using a GC in your new project. If you're successful enough to have these problems, you can afford to rewrite in anything.

CMS replaced the guy who turned your .doc into HTML (this used to be a job). Many of these people became LAMP CMF specialists. That transition was at least a decade ago. Sysadmin roles have been under the most pressure since.

LA Times, which published the article, has been the worst about this. The headline ('"The Devil is Already Here"') is clickbait trash. Of course, this grave development is already off their front page: Tiger Woods was i

What I love about the news right now is that they've perfected the alchemy of turning every holiday into its own news cycle. Gatherings feared... Experts fear another spike . No proof at all that holiday -> virulence, of course. Yo

Nice race bait/comic book. My favorite grower is owned/operated by an east Asian couple btw. If you know anything about California, the idea of an all-white cannabis cabal is absurd. But that may be hard to recognize from Berlin

To be clear, this is FUD. If you know how to make SQA emit the right SQL, the performance is basically the same as psycopg2 + your custom code, usually better. I've written many high volume SQA services and never once saw SQA per se as
