Your opinion is fine and all, but it's moot to this point. The exact same things are happening in the EU, as evident by this very legislation this thread is concerning.

Look at SOPA/PIPA. They simultaneously pushed the same bill through both chambers to try and guarantee it would pass. Grassroots efforts led to it being overwhelmingly blocked in both cases. And then they just slowly slipped most of it

Meanwhile, they make the dismantling of legislation near impossible. You have to go through the same process, but in inverse; and hope that miraculously the representatives in gov't become altruistic with a desire for less power.

A problem that’s been plaguing every nation in the world and been studied by the world’s top scientists for 20+ years now. Nope, all a waste of time. We should’ve just asked “more_corn”.

Yeah, the person you're responding to is taking "taint" to mean a literal ban situation; versus the very real status that exists in Linux Kernel development. "TAINTing" a driver/code doesn't mean it's

Many nations have their own domestic card networks that exist from the pre-Visa/MC domination period. A few major ones that come to mind are Russia, China, and Germany.

The base purpose of a range top is cooking. The base purpose of a gun is shooting things, generally living breathing ones. I could kill a guy with a stick, a rock, a frying pan, a blanket, etc…pretty much most things; however, none of those

Hurting one kid with a knife is drastically different to hurting thirty with a gun or rifle. It’s almost like gun enthusiasts are, conveniently, completely incapable of processing the concept of “force multiplication”.

Technically, "dynamic programming" (god, I hate that term) is focused on memoization/tabulation. It doesn't necessarily require recursion or an iterative approach, although they almost always go hand-in-hand in common le

It’s similar on the hobbyist interest side, sure. But generally gathers more from the hardware hobbyists than software. This is because the Broadcom SoC is somewhat awful to do bare metal on (mostly due to anything beyond a framebuffer bein

While technically true, the term has been largely co-opted by the A/V realm. It’s pretty rare to hear outside of the context.

Most C and C++ developers take umbrage with combining them. Since C++11, and especially C++17, the languages have diverged significantly. C is still largely compatible (outside of things like uncasted malloc) since the rules are still large

I would argue that systems languages (C, C++, Rust, and Zig standout) are the most “fulfilling” (in my experience). The reason being that the methodologies are far more orthogonal. A uint8 directly represents a byte in memory, doing a memcp
