This is enough to make me keep using C++ for the use cases where Nim is meant to shine, or choose Rust instead. If I'm to learn a modern language, I really expect it to support modern paradigms. I can see why it'd be interesting t

Working at one of the top 5 members of that clearing house in Scandinavia, very few people I've spoken to about it at work earlier this week thinks he is actually bankrupt. He's filing for bankruptcy so that he won't have to

Microsoft's Surface Book comes very close actually, so while the MBPs are still ahead, the gap is getting smaller!

Well, there's plenty to say about C++ compiler errors too!

Aren't they just Clevo computers? If so, the ones I've used have _nowhere_ near premium build quality.

The nobel prize committee is far from "an arbitrary commmittee" as far as I know. At least for the nobel prize in physics I know it's peers who decide and I'd assume it's the same for the other subjects, and it&#x27

He mentioned nothing about where he's from though.

But it's still just a pointer underneath? It's more or less just syntactical sugar which makes it dereferenced it for you, and I'd argue that it only makes sense to use the phrase in certain contexts. The only real difference

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, what you're asking is only possible in a function signature if the compiler inlines it. However, outside of function signatures, if you write: int a = 2; int &aref = a; int b = aref; I'd a

Ah, I see the reasoning. I only did basic Java in university so I might be remembering incorrectly, but aren't variables storing non-primitive values called "References"? Seems weird to me to say that Java "passes by val

Coming from C++, if "passing by pointer value" is considered "passing by value", then what is the opposite? Not passing at all? I mean, there's always going to be _some_ kind of value being passed?

Oh yeah, I've heard spying is more memory intensive than running dozens of VMs!

Ah, I should've figured that out myself from looking at the contents. I might try it out and combine it with some reading of my old statistics book or some other means. Thanks!

I've been looking for something like this to brush up/add to my math knowledge; can anyone recommend this course or would you recommend some other way?

Most people will understand reddit if they give it a chance. Problem is that they're less likely to do so if they find the design and UX unintuitive. I know I disliked reddit's design when I saw it the first time, and I've sp

Honestly, anyone with C++ experience should understand that it's a joke just from the title. I'm honestly surprised so many people thought this could be true; even Rust has raw pointers (in unsafe mode).

And why couldn't you do it in another language? If Go is performant enough, then I'm sure for example Java would be as well.

About [2], yeah, that's the way it could happen without a 0-day, but it really does seem very, very impractical, risky and unlikely. Out of sf, KQLY and Emilio, it does seem likely that both sf and Emilio would cheat online in order to

There has never been a proven case of either as far as I know, only theories and "insiders" claiming these things. The german guy who was caught was saying a lot of these things which obviously weren't true, like claiming tha

There was a huge scandal in CSGO a few years ago where people started thinking a top professional player had been cheating in a major LAN, and that was about when he came up with the gameref. The player was banned for cheating, but whether

That's because a panic should never happen in Rust. If it happens, there's by definition a bug which will make the thread crash.

That's quite irrelevant to the conversation though, we weren't talking about whether OOP is good or not. C++ is very far from "C with classes" today.

by chi3 9y ago
> C++ is just C with extra notation for easy modeling of Classes and Objects. That's far from true today, and I'd even argue it hasn't been true since very early on. Simple example to prove my point: RAII.

From what I know, If you're self-employed you'll also have to pay payroll tax, which makes taxes end up close to 50% without even taking taking sales taxes into account.

If that's the case, why aren't they using them themselves instead of selling them?
