There is also very bad moderation from HN moderators. Almost every thread discussing C/C++/Go is quickly spammed by Rust evangelist. Which makes it hard to discuss news about those languages.

There are plenty of countries where "national vision" is realized without an oppression to minorities. You think Israel shouldn't exist?

Yes it is totally legal in Hungary, nobody will persecute you for being gay. On the other hand you have Muslim patrols in cities like London. Maybe it will come as shock to you, but some people don't care much about the laws.

I know, every time it fails, it's not true communism. There was a running joke in communist countries on this subject too: There was once an important communist dignitary who was treating a sick cow. After the cow died, he said: "

The core belief of antifa is a revolution at any cost. Train for when the time comes. Their actions and tactics mimic those of fascist when coming to power in Italy after WW1.

I'm sure you also believe Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democratic country. They must be, if that is what they call them self. You need to look yourself in the mirror or better yet, read a history book or two about fa

Maybe you'll get it right next time. Then you'll have true communism, at least until it fails again. Then the kids from the last round of red nobility will call it "capitalism something" and agitate for new true communis

Yes, communist never had troubles with nationalism. And communism is by definition a populist ideology. The legendary elusive communist who shapeshift the moment one points a finger at one (no true communism), is more of an idea of western

You are basically arguing CF == !CF. On MIPS you literally have to compare your result with an operand in order to establish if there was an overflow. On Arm you just look at the status register. When I was doing embedded development, I use

You have completely misunderstood my comment about why C stands out. I though it was obvious from the example I gave, what I meant, when I said everything is a pointer to something? As an embedded developer in previous life, I can assure yo
