Sure, but that's nothing a few years in the real world can't fix. The point is that C++ programmers are not some rare breed of neckbeard that are gradually going extinct. They are being produced en mass.

C++ was a dying language in the 2000s. But they turned it around with C++11. Now it has iterative 3 yearly updates and it's getting pretty good. It's far too premature to declare its death. The pace of development of C++ is decent

A water drinking competition seems inherently dangerous and unwise for exactly that reason. Most people who are not medical professionals will not realise that water is harmful in large amounts. The analogy to this is that encouraging peopl

It depends on the cost to the end user and the cost of failure. At one end of the spectrum you have free-to-play games. You'd have to be insane to implement a high test coverage on that. Nobody cares if Battletoads Royale crashes. On t

Libraries predate copyright by a couple thousand years. The rules of copyright were written to be compatible with the existence of libraries, not the other way around.

Would it really make a difference if libraries could make copies of their most borrowed books? The book is still being shared by hundreds of people. Libraries didn't get the right to make copies of books when copyright was invented,

Do authors have rights to be compensated? If I go to a library and take out a book, the author doesn't get compensated again. The book may be read by hundreds of people but it was only paid for once. If I lend a book I own to a frien

It's actually the reverse. The hardware we have is way more efficient than our brains. One TPU can simulate billions of neurons a second in a tiny area. Computer hardware has a significant time advantage. Electrical impulses in the b

It doesn't matter functionally. You can make the end token "waffleiron" or "mariahcarey" or "%^*~$". But there does need to be an end token to make multiline lambdas work and recognizing that is the first

It's more likely than you think. You need some end delimiter, it doesn't matter what it is as long as there is one. Just like list literals end with ] and dict literals end with } and str literals end with " or ' etc.

-1 can't be prime because many things that use prime numbers require a positive number. For example, how would you define prime powers? (-1)^2=1... You can certainly give a name to the integers {-1} U P, but maybe it would be better to

You're saying this like it's something new but _outsourcing_ has been a thing for decades. It has always been possible to get software built on the cheap abroad. You get what you pay for.

It might have been correct to say there's no evidence in March (which is not a reason to not do something, we would still be in the Stone Age if every action we took required evidence.). There's plenty of evidence now as we have d

To be honest 2D games are more art heavy than 3D games. At least in 3D games you can get a long way with shaders, textures, geometric shapes and store-bought meshes. In 2D games everything is custom art.

It wouldn't help, it would just push it underground and make it harder to deal with. The opposite would work better. Create a standard for tracking people then legally enforce that all tracking conforms to that standard. Then users can
