The original post is literally two sentences and you omit the sentence that is pertinent to my point. I think that alone says all it needs to about the manner by which you are evaluating this topic. All the best to you.

I interpreted WalterBright's comment as an ignorant way of saying that people today don't take responsibility for their own actions and instead try to find someone rich enough to pin the blame on, especially as a means of enrichin

I think you're just making things up based on an unfounded and certainly unsubstantiated perception of reality. Do you have any reference for your claim about Steve Ballmer? I tried numerous different ways of searching for it and none

How do you know this to be true? From a cursory search it looks like 95% of lawsuits for personal injury never make it to trial, so the judiciary is never involved in the vast majority of cases. Of the 5% that do make it to trial, only 56%

This is a very strong claim that is almost certainly false. Would you be willing to reveal your account so that it can be independently verified? For example I'm 2116 on lichess and looking over the last 10 opponents who are in the nei

I genuinely don't know any drug addict who thinks taking drugs is a good thing, beneficial to them or in anyway a positive aspect of their life. Please don't make up phony exaggerations just to win an Internet argument.

Looks like you're confusing experienced actors with popular actors. Just because the actors are not popular does not mean that they are not experienced and distinguished actors; furthermore just because an actor is popular does not mea

No, by that logic the worst deal for a good developer is to start a company. You can ignore that logic and find other types of reasoning for why starting a company is a good thing, but OPs entire point is that a good developer is only valua

Pure speculation on my part about how they did it back then, but nowadays one way on emulators is to save the game state just before some variable changes, then allow the variable to change, then save the game state again and look at a diff

First your statement is unfortunately just untrue, the idea that any behavior can be relied upon when performing an undefined operation is why to this day we have very buggy software written in C and C++ that lead to security vulnerabilitie

I downvoted it because I don't think most people need to read 7 paragraphs of an awkward strawman to understand the concept of self-defense. Your example really has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance or the idea of ethics bein

I'm in the same boat. I am not going to defend an invalid justification for a position just because I agree with that position, and furthermore when people spread misinformation in support of my position, I will work to refute it. If a

Quantum mechanics is perfectly compatible with special relativity (quantum electrodynamics). It's general relativity, or rather a quantum theory of gravity, that lacks a complete solution.

Then you fail to understand what is a fairly basic point, which is that most people misinterpret the meaning of a criminal record and think that 70 million people in the U.S. were at some point criminals, when in fact a criminal record can

My original post was not in response to OP but to someone who is shocked that 70 million people have a criminal record, because most people when asked assume that a criminal record means some kind of conviction, it does not. It was OP who d

Failure to pay a parking ticket by the due date or failure to appear in court to contest a traffic ticket can result in a bench warrant for your arrest which results in a criminal record. Also, in many jurisdictions if you do not appear for

Sure it's technically true but an unpaid parking ticket counts as a criminal record. At any rate, of the 70 million people with a "criminal record", only 16 million have been to prison. That's still a high figure but it&

It's best to pass a reference to specify that the argument shall not be null. Also avoid writing static functions in C++, make use of anonymous namespaces. namespace { int add_numbers(const Data& p) { return p.a

None of what you're saying is true though. Range based for loops were introduced in C++11 (technically C++11 was published in 2011, but almost all compilers supported this way back in 2008-2009) and it's also nothing more than syn

Canada has the same doctors per capita as the U.S., it's just that in Canada access to health care is considered a defacto universal right whereas in the U.S. for much of the population health care is a privilege or benefit associated
