when an error occurs in a machine and the machine tries to recover, maybe that's also a form of pain. A machine is not necessarily less sophisticated than any living creature.

Could it be a chance of political corruption even if all source code and data are open?

That's not the kind of torture i meant. Rifle or knife should be acceptable to most people. (This process is simple. Experienced butchers even work fast and clean.) Switzerland law is also about killing the lobster instantly so it&#x27

I agree that we should pay more attention to people that are suffering. But I think the rationale of such laws is somewhat valid. Can you imagine a person who is totally emotionless when torturing an animal but is also very compassionate to

They are not really bad. Reading about them can help you get familiar with how programmers usually name their patterns. But I don't think one needs to study "design patterns" to come up with code using builders, factories, an

It depends on many factors. Choosing suitable tools for a project requires careful consideration. Python is a popular language, but not the only one. So many languages exist for a reason. Of course you can always find justifications to reje

True. jEdit is one of the best editors i have used. Not my default editor but i use it from time to time and install it everywhere.

The same goes for many other icons. Like rss, wifi, and shutdown icon. It makes sense, because once an icon becomes popular reinventing it with another design makes people confused.

kindof, but not always. C++ and C# are powerful complex languages. C and Java are simple languages. But I can find lots of elegant programs in C or Java. They don't make the programs feel complex. Still it depends on the programmer. Pr

It depends on how big the gap between the power of aliens and earthlings is. Some people believe that science advances should progress like explosion, and "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". In

If the aliens are strong enough to land their spaceship on earth, investigating all countries is probably a piece of cake for them. There is no reason for them to tie themselves to a certain country or area. In another case, if they establi

Is the octahedron on the picture supposed to be an alien spaceship? It reminds me of a creature in a certain animation I watched.

Yes, human beings always do what's good for themselves. There is a saying: Never underestimate the power of human wisdom! They would never do negative-sum games or disastrous things like wars, arms races, environmental pollution, vicio

Ideologies and violence caused so many disasters in history. At least money does not directly terrify us like that. Billionaires usually became victims of such disasters. In the end, money is not the ultimate power. It's violence that

So you can insert/delete/update records without rewriting the whole file. And you get many other features like transaction, spill cache pages, fflush & fsync behind the scenes.

No. 2.17 MB is NOT enormous. Usually there is no runtime library. In contrast, C or C++ runtime libraries can easily exceed that size. For example, vc_redist.x64.exe is 13.9 MB.

Scala is too complicated. It reminds me of C++. But C++ is fast. People use it probably when performance is their first priority. For practical reasons I just bear with C++. Use it as necessary. I would rather not bear with another complica

Because each method has its pros and cons. It's a difference of generality and specificity. Consider this list as a ranking: 0 and 1 >> alphabet >> Chinese >> picture. All 4 methods can be useful in some cases. Chines

One of the common nice features in OOP is polymorphism. You have a list/set/collection of objects which are of the same type, but also of different subtypes. They have the same behavior when calling some method and different behav

You have a point. Some people still write C++03 code because "My code will mostly work fine when I flip flag to C++11 anyway". But I always hope newer standards prevail, and make C++ great again.

Please always use "-std=c++14" when you can. There are a lot of subtle differences between c++11 and c++14.
