But one can detect and judge appearance much more quickly (instantly, in most cases) than personality. It seems much more efficient to select those you consider physically attractive first and then date to check for a compatible character,

So the future of F/OSS is all projects taking no outside contributions or requiring copyright assignment? How else will the core contributor(s) be able to sell a license to AGPL code they don't fully own?

Most of our solar system is pretty difficult to get to for humans (the overwhelmingly vast majority of those living today will never be in space), so why do you consider it as an available resource? It's like criticizing bacteria in a

The default for copyright is 'all rights reserved' though, so it would seem to me that it's in the software users best interest to hope it's enforceable, otherwise they can't use the software at all.

That's a strange take on Socrates, it makes him sound like he died (intended to die?) for our sins like some kind of Jesus figure. I doubt he'd agree with it. Anyway, I suspect you mean 'in vain'. Veins are those little

Is a term like 'architect' pompous? What short, existing word would you use to describe who decides how something is going to be built? Is abbreviating "remote procedure call" to RPC pompous? I think the words 'grap

So teaching Mandarin is validating the CCP? God forbid you take a tiny step outside your own culture and pick up the basics of a different language.

But the only 'toxins' it can get rid of are those you recently consumed, not the vague and unspecified toxins that the diet people claim build up in your body and must be purged.

You can't do better with a non-inlined function.

Congratulations, your program is now thread-unsafe because you thought using a temporary variable is expensive :-p using mutable static variables is a terrible idea in most situations.

I'm asking because many of these "consent" dialogs allow you to "reject all" for cookies, but require an "object to all" for "legitimate interest" purposes. It wouldn't surprise me if these

But does that button also reject "legitimate" interests?

Intentional destruction of property is considered unlawful in most societies. I'm not sure why you would even question that?

Perhaps using "American" (also) for South Americans is popular usage in (certain regions of) South America. You can't just declare that it's wrong just because it's not popular usage in Western culture (which is h

The reactor was operational since the late 1970s, so could it not be possible that they still had spent fuel from before any reactors were shut down?

Volatile operations are considered a side effect and as such may not be reordered with other volatile operations. How is that not literally sufficient for the operations that GGP described?

In the 60s? The US is still occupying Guantánamo Bay. It's ongoing. It's not about actions of the USA making the actions of Russia okay (or the other way around), it's about the hypocracy of one condemning the other.

The current system has done a very good job keeping certificate authorities honest and secure by holding them accountable. Those who disagree can easily modify the trusted root certificates on their own devices to their liking. The article

There are some people who think women should not be allowed to vote. Or that pi equals 3. Just because different opinions exist does not mean compromise is required. Sometimes it's perfectly okay to just tell someone to fuck off.

I feel like writing Rust is a whole lot faster and less error-prone than writing something in C. But even assuming that it's slower, it's definitely much faster than writing C and doing formal verification. Naturally formal veri

That depends on how you define complexity. It is far easier to write a working program without memory leaks, various types of vulnerabilities, and undefined behavior in Rust than it is in C.

Compilers not allowed to violate the language spec when optimizing. But the spec may be fairly generous in its allowed interpretations, which may not match what a programmer may naively expect. C, with its many undefined behaviors and imp

My wife tells me that she really appreciates my deep voice at parties because she can always find me in a crowded room when I'm talking. Probably too situational to make a good evolutionary 'just so' story, but it's a ni

Oh, those features, you are talking about stuff that is included/excluded in libraries. Those have nothing to do with compiler extensions, they don't change the language.

I would disagree. For example, suppose we enforced XHTML. Even though it's a mostly dead standard that was never very popular, there are plenty of free and very functional validators around. You don't need to be a multi-billion do

How would hardware attest to the game server that the player cannot see through walls, and that their aim is not nudged (subtly or overtly) in the direction of enemy faces? Keeping in mind that the cheater has full control over the software
