Only daylight savings time would be far better than the current system in the US. No more clock turning twice a year. It takes me 5 1/2 months to get my sleep cycle back in sync each time. Gah! I used to live in AZ, and they have it Ri

What wrong with: _3 = 1; It's shorter. I know, _ is probably reserved, so maybe: x3 = 1; // x is not multiply There. I fixed it for you.

Well, if you are anyone that appreciates a grey and hopeless bureaucratic tarpit (with extra vipers), California is an option. At least it's expensive.

"Who failed?", 400 hundred people ask, and argue. Just one failed. The student. "But who failed him?", they cry! His mother? His school? His city? His society? His economy? And all of them may have failed him. And yet he

I have definitely seen issues where an unterminated reset line was susceptible to causing reboots from static electricity charges from people, chairs, etc. several feet away. Not even discharges, just charged objects moving around. Perhaps

"we’re the first generation in modern history to end up poorer than our parents." Hrmm. My grandfather, the very first person in my entire family tree to achieve a post-secondary degree, graduated from business school. In 1929, so

Perhaps AWS needs to sell AWS Shield Advanced? Ha ha, I'm probably too paranoid.

I'm definitely expanding. Beer and Cheezits. Probably a minor gravitational anomaly at this point, but still.

I like the third one as well as the forth. Frankly the second is a bit edgy, but it could be used as a headline. None of it is rude, bullying, or any kind of -ism, or anything that needs to be fixed. It is in fact confrontation, which is a

That's kind of the same schtick that Meredith and her ilk love to trot out. I mean, they said Edison was wasting his time too, right? And there are always spin-offs, and unanticipated offshoots. But that's a bogus argument. Just b

It's not just C++, nor is it just because of assumptions of the underlying implementation. This is a direct result of type-safety. It would never be "safe" to do the following, regardless of the language: std::vector&lt
