it's not clever to go out of your way to piss off the base of the last guy from your team that won. clearly the democrats understand that, seeing as we are currently experiencing Obama's third term.

in my experience, it's almost inevitable that you end up calling some code you don't control that returns raw pointers. better hope you have access to the source or at least some good docs :)

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. RAII is powerful, but it is just a tool to organize what is still manual resource management. it can help with memory/thread safety, but it doesn't guarantee those things by itsel

the linked article describes a percentage-based income sharing scheme. the student isn't necessarily incentivized to get a higher paying job than they would otherwise. the school definitely is incentivized to guide students into more

I went to a state school with a similar strategy: accept basically everyone then thin the herd with some brutal weed out courses. I don't think it was some cynical strategy to raise revenue though; they also offered tons of remedial co

you might as well ask what's the point of insurance if you never wreck your car. I have some nice things, but none of them bring me as much peace as having a deep buffer for unexpected problems. if I learned that I would die in a month

it's not semantics. there's a useful distinction between addiction and dependence. dependence is the tolerance/withdrawal cycle. it doesn't necessarily coincide with the cravings that are characteristic of addiction. som

it's entirely possible I'm already out of touch. but I'd guess it's more of a "why can't you just be like the rest of us?" than "haha this kid's parents can't afford an iphone".

I wasn't a teen that long ago and I don't remember anything like this. in fact, I remember quite the opposite: kids who brought nice things into school were made fun of for it. having your parents buy you a brand new car was the w

as someone else said, apple is a node ahead of AMD this round. that won't necessarily continue; they don't own TSMC. I expect the gap will close somewhat if they both launch their next gen parts on the same node. > goals that a

in the consumer space, sure. but they are hardly the only company making impressive in-house archetectures for their products. aws graviton is just one example off the top of my head: https://www.anandtech.com/show/155

I wasn't getting that philosophical. I just think "ownership" isn't 100% consistent with property that can be confiscated by the government if you fail to make an annual payment. on the other hand, I do feel like I &quot

not GP, but I'd recommend buying to some friends/family and renting to others. it depends a lot on how long they plan to live there, the local price-to-rent ratio, tolerance for risk, and desire to make significant modifications t

I knew "plumbum" meant "lead", but I'd always assumed the etymology of "plumbing" was just that pipes were historically made of lead. thanks for posting!

seems slightly odd to use an angular unit for airspeed; the linear equivalent would technically depend on altitude. I guess airplanes don't actually fly high enough for that to matter.

I would think visual c++ must be one of the intended use cases. it's far from the worst c++ ide, but it can be pretty frustrating. you basically can't trust "find all references" in large projects.

murder per capita is an important statistic for a city, but it can be misleading. for one thing, it depends a lot on how city borders are drawn. for example, baltimore city usually shows up in top five lists for per capita murders, and inde

what is your point exactly? I can't literally choose to drive my car anywhere, as I am not the dictator of my local DOT. but there are many pleasant routes that do exist near me, and I can choose to take them any time.

you get to decide where to stop. cataloguing everything worth >$500 might be a good place to start. that should be a relatively short list for most people. work your way down from there when you have time/energy.

especially with treatments for depression, where the state of the art is essentially "keep trying different drugs until one seems to work", it can be a fine line. the psychiatrist knows much more about the drugs than you do, but t

I guess I rationalize that all the money went towards higher binned parts that at least clock a few hundred mhz higher than ultrabook parts in silent mode. but yeah I get that. glad you were able to find a machine you're happy with :)
