> I didn't miss C++, it just seems a worse alternative than C. This is such a retarded opinion. A person expressing it probably doesn't know shit about C++ or just plainly an idiot.

Would be nice to see a comparison with std::unordered_map<>, both on the performance and usability side.

It seems that people are so intimidated by the infamous complexity of C++ that they don't even want to bother getting more familiar with it. So, although technically the existence of C doesn't make sense, as it is superseded by C+

The title needs rephrasing, but I wouldn't expect someone to say that we're almost there with AI, as it would sound ridiculous, so I used my natural intelligence to correct the meaning of the title and understood it as the author

Having no time limit is actually more stressful than to have a reasonable time limit. No time limit is basically "as fast as you can".

A certificate given by the domain registrar makes a lot of sense to me. My registrar holds my data and indeed can certify the identity of the domain.

I wish they shipped their superb kernel as a separate product allowing third-party shells, as their UI design division has gone off the rails. Actually, I think there should be a law for making OS kernels replaceable and separate from UI sh

It's almost surreal to see that one of the douchiest companies around is so radically transforming.

Do you mean the games that push your hardware to the edge, like DOOM and Quake I-III at the time?

I think it's quite easy to build a GC-like system for a particular subsystem of the engine. The only nuisance is the lack of reflection in C++, as usual.

Pointers can be easily mapped from and into integer indices or file offsets in-place, so there is no big difference really. I think it is generally not a good idea when in-memory representation of objects is identical to the serialized repr

This type of comments are frowned upon on HN, as they add nothing to the discussion and create noise. So don't make such comments anymore.

You're exactly right. I'd go even further and say that the piece is quite superficial and the tone of it reminds of some holy book filled with commonplace morals.

That would be horrible for normal developers. People would use it all the time, and then complain that the app doesn't work. The actual problem is the "all or nothing" security model that needs to be replaced with contextual

My takeaway from being both an interviewee and an interviewer is that the most correct attitude after a failed job interview is "We don't match each other". The interviewer is testing their own ability to properly conduct a j

He was right, but in the wrong model of society. This is the kind of mistake a founder should always watch out for. Like, keep repeating to oneself: people are not like you, people are not like you.

It's neither (in modern terms). A cover letter should address a specific vacancy and explain the relevancy of the candidate to this particular job at this company.

It's too hard of a question. Of course, this is just an intuition. No formal proof or calculation implied.

Because it's incredibly improbable that we are alone given how much stuff there is in the Universe (something about 10^23 stars) and how prevalent are the chemicals we consist of.

The concentration of inside-the-box thinking and bullshit science in this is unbearable, I think it gave me cancer. So was this actually written for April Fools' Day? arXiv:1504.00680v1 [cs.SI] 2 Apr 2015

> a giant huge monster that eat puppies Not puppies, but brains of the poor programmer who is confronted with a problem of building your bloatware on a non-supported platform (typically Windows).

You're probably downvoted because of the multiple mentions of C++. If you'd mentioned Haskell, you would be upvoted.
