That seems likely. I appreciate your continued efforts to bring clarity to the issue.

I was glad to read this, but then today I noticed a new comment by Eich clarifying that no one tried to convince him to stay as CEO. http://dutherenverseauborddelatable.wordpress.com/2014/04/07... Perhaps your und

I appreciate your efforts to set the facts straight. The FAQ, while straightforward on some points, is vague on one in a way that I can only see as unfortunately intentional. > Q: Was Brendan asked to resign by the Board? > A: No. In

Do you then support the legitimacy of the Hollywood blacklist during the McCarthy era? It was a purely private sector action with no government enforcement. Furthermore, communist sympathizers were widely reviled and feared in the society a

Again, I'm talking about territorial wars, which the Iraq invasion was not. The Iraq invasion is relatively mundane on the scale of things that happened in the last 60 years. Do you think the USSR ever got the UN approval for invadin

You're right, and thanks for correcting me. The not tolerating is the important thing though, I think you'll agree.

You're not saying anything new to me. I realize the average American doesn't care. The average American (or Briton) didn't care when Hitler carved up Czechoslovakia either. Nobody cared about some Eastern European country bac

Russia and Ukraine weren't sovereign states when it happened. It's not relevant to the international principle I'm talking about. It's true that the majority of Crimeans are Russian, but the majority of people in Sudeten

Exactly; it wasn't tolerated, it made Iraq a pariah state, and it was quickly corrected. See anything like that happen with Russia's annexation of Crimea?

The principle of territorial integrity, enshrined among other things in Chapter 1 of the UN Charter. The US didn't stop invading, and neither did the USSR. But the one principle was that waging war for territorial gain is no longer acc

History will remember Obama as the weak President who did nothing to stop Russia from destroying the one principle that held the world back from territorial wars ever since WWII. As we enter the new era of land grabs and might-makes-right,

Is it, though? How do you know? Don't get me wrong, I think so too, it's just that I've begun doubting myself. I've always thought it worthwhile to learn very different languages for the mind-opening effects of their par

I may dislike esr as much as the next fellow, but your response is degrading noise. It wasn't esr who upvoted the link here to the point of your visibility, it was people who found it interesting. If you're annoyed by that, flag,

You keep saying 'unethical' as if it's the end of the discussion. But what if our current standard of medical ethics prevent us from finding the better policies or the better treatments? Is this standard set in stone and neve

Right, that's not actually surprising to me, I know banks still use mainframes, and I thought it was well-known. Same about airlines, and heavy-duty control systems (say, sewage control for a large city or something) that are likely to

One trick that's not mentioned is unbundling the struct. Suppose you have a struct with a pointer and a character in it, and a huge array of those structs. If you resent the padding tax, refactor your code to use and pass around two ar

Good job! As promised, the code is easy to read. Your major choices all make sense to me: * you went easy on #define's, they obfuscate the code when used heavily * you have a simple switch instead of an opcode table with function point
