First, that distinction is not so clear for many because the word "terrorism" is constantly banalized by conservative politicians that use it to attack protesters of all kinds. We have seen a lot of this during the last few years

I'm from Spain and the argument I hear most is the opposite: they use expensive resources (health-care, which in Spain was universally free, with some limitations now after the cuts), pay no taxes, and put just a little bit of money on

By doubling the amount of gadgets in the market you are also reducing price of the gadgets (according to offer and demand). The parent's idea is not new, it was already introduced in the first chapter of Marx's Capital. The only

This article is interesting, but too often misinterpreted. People most cite it as an argument for why you need hierarchies in your organization. However, I don't think the article gets to claim such thing. Instead, it claims that one

I don't know if that would actually be the case, but if it were, the question would be: is it actually a bad thing? I don't see any moral justification for a software engineer earning more than someone collecting waste [1]. In fa

Agreed. That happened in Spain: after the crisis burst the housing bubble, banks and private owner were simply not putting their property in the market to avoid price falling down. I Andalucia, the goverment actually had to pass a law tha

In fact, the problem with having one single "reference implementation", like in Python, is that other implementations never get to be "compliant enough". The situation in C++ is saner, since both GCC and Clang are moving

Interesting... There are not many parts depending on boost and we could make it entirely optional [1] (it would be still be nice for people wanting to use atria::variant::match in combo with boost::variant, optionally). Could you elaborate

I see it the other way around. How many bits you need to address something in memory depends on the platform. Thus `size_t` is the only cross-platform type you can use. A fixed-size integral is going to work on some, but not all.

Hi! I see there is still no "expression SFINAE", which makes me very sad, since for me the most really important use-case for decltype() is SFINAE... it basically allow to have C++17 style concepts on top of plain C++11. I wonder,

I find interesting that while the issue about the connection between race and IQ has been widely commented here, nowbody questions (an many reapeat) the idea that wealth and IQ are correlated. In fact, surveying the Internet one can quickly
