Move to London. I moved there when I was 44 and wish I'd done so earlier. much more to do, pay is better. I feel my quality of life has drastically improved in the last two years since moving to London. (But probably I'll want to

It's not "free". Someone is paying for it? It's either people whop didn't gain the benefit of either, or it's you later on, only instead of a transparent loan, it's opaque taxes so you don't realize y

Interesting, The graphs seem to correlate very highly with population density from just looking. I wonder if that is a cause, coincidence, or something in the calculations?

It wasn't. The press just decided to present it this way. It was a vote on sovereignty of the UK of which control on migration was one small part.

They don't spend any time fixing everything that's broken with modern computers, instead they spend time changing things that weren't broken. Great.

I think it depends on the situation. My car is parked outside of my house in such a way that stealing the car would take a few minutes (It's a bit tricky to get the car down the drive, and it takes 1 minute even when you know how to be

I read they were written in D too, is that true. Makes me want to give D another look. I used it a bit but various issues made me drift away from it.

I feel the same way. It seems to be compulsory to make you scroll through a huge image for no reason these days, and when you do get to some text you have about one paragraph before you have to scroll to the next huge block, usually with so

Your websites are amongst the best. They load fast, contain the information you want, and you don't have to scroll through megabytes of random junk looking for something useful. The d forums are amongst the fastest and most useable web

It's because C is supposed to be a thin wrapper over the CPU. So when you write '+' on two ints, it's supposed to do whatever the CPU's ADD instruction does. This can vary from CPU type to CPU type and the standard

I'm not interested in updates because they never seem to do anything useful, they just move everything around and make thing harder to use without adding anything useful.

There seems to be some plan to use less and less of the screen. I keep looking at wordpress templates and almost all of them want to use about 1/8th of my screen width which is terrible

We do seem to have got into a race to make C and C++ compilers less and less useful while still following the letter of the rules (but certainly NOT the spirit).

" The PC era was about to end." Not bothering to read the rest. This is entirely 100% wrong. The PC era has not "ended". It's just that we only upgrade every few years instead of every year. And grandma now reads he

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I can see the C language being forked into the one we are getting and the one users actually want.

The problem with visual programming is the same as those UML tools where you designed classes with boxes then filled in the code later. First of all it's quicker and easier to define with text than drawing. And second of all the detail

What? No of course you don't "hear" the words. How could you? Reading is several times faster than speaking, and it's not like you look individually at every word and read them out, you see a larger area of text as a uni
