It's disingenious to call it "excluding". The author cited the point of contention directly and linked to the rest, explicitly for the purpose of picking up on the context. I believe that is fairly standard practice.

I think the grandparent's post was important to this discussion because it makes the "inappropriate sex-related comments" issue thing slightly more relatable for those of us who have not had to deal with sexual harassment professionally.

Of course the author says that! He has cats, he must be infected too! But seriously, the claim wasn't that the parasite immediately kills people but makes them more disposed towards self-destructive behavior. The fact that, 2000 years after

It's closer to a protection racket than insurance in this case, isn't it?

The intended use case for stackoverflow is that you have a problem, you google for it, you find a stackoverflow question that covers your problem and click it to find out how to solve it because you know that stackoverflow search results ar

Maybe it's not entirely rational, but I'm not a fan of this attitude even disregarding the points about scaling and mobile devices in the sibling post. Computers are unimaginably fast, but people still wince at software that feels unrespons

I'm 99% sure you're wrong about 1). The internal pointer is the VALUE that is pointing to the struct RString. `str2 = str` will make another VALUE point to the same struct RString. Consider str = "foo" str2 = str str.object_id == st

Yeah, there's preprocessor cleverness. It will choose either of unsigned, unsigned long or unsigned long long. There's a "#if defind HAVE_UINTPTR_T && 0" section, I'm curious why they're effectively disabling that.

Dude's mostly asking for attribution. So post a copy along with a link to the source and he isn't gonna complain.

I think it might be worthwhile to consider the influence that the egoistical and condescending example person might have on someone who is not a perfectly rational actor, and possibly easily cowed into giving up on a technical discussion or

The obvious solution is to stop getting OOP backwards, then.

Clearly the rational thing to do is to create a Haskell DSL that compiles to C++ template metaprograms.
