Except that they don't see it as the end of the world but rather a guaranteed cost when someone considers an invasion. And as far as I know, autonomous weapons don't inherently involve scorched earth scenarios. Perhaps in the far

Sure you can point it out, echo it, but your words mean very little if it's based off dubious sources like Adrian Zenz. To China you westerners look like the guy on the higher moral ground, yelling slogan after slogan together with oth

If you look at it from the input-output financial perspective, where the effort in open sourcing it produces X amount of money, I'd agree its not viable. But if you look at it from the advertising perspective, there are other advantage

Sounds like the typical westernized narrow view of China. Whenever there's a rising power that threatens the current number #1, you'll see such events happening. It has happened time and again and the only difference now is that t

When the same accusations happened a few years ago China did invite the EU to take a look, but the EU never went there. In addition, several muslim countries went and did not find any shred of evidence. At this point you'll have to sta

Agreed. Still one common goal we should all get behind is reaching for something closer to the truth.

Indeed. The boring Truth has been drowned in favor of outrage and sensationalism. Sometimes I think there should be a World Press Abuse of Freedom Index.

> Nobody raised anybody out of poverty. The only ones they have to thank for raising them out of poverty are themselves. It was that party in the first place which plunged China into the abyss. Do you honestly think that in 1970s rural c

It can be used as a weapon of the western geopolitical world to pressure other countries as well as strengthen the positions of political figures via advocating the moralistic angle. Ever heard of countries justifying their invasions of oth

That's quite some level of denigration and generalization on the average chinese person you've put out. Consider the fact that China raised millions out of poverty. Consider the fact that they're one of the few countries able

Fully expecting this thread to be a shitshow of China-bashing. BBC's articles reference Adrian Zenz as the source, who is known to be an unreliable source with regards to China. As someone who is from a small country, which can only be

Indeed. Double standards are common in global politics.

Have you considered the downsides of this shift? For example c++, with these initiatives I'm thoroughly expecting the compile times to bloat up along with increasingly bloated code in the effort to make the code safer.

Define 'afford'. Surely you'd have to save that salary for some time? How long is that period?

I get that you need outlets, but drugs are the worst you can choose amongst the many other outlets you have today. At least go play video games - at least you'll still be able to recover. With drugs you're risking so much of your

Yea all the quotes are contradictory to the goal of 'flexibility'. What's more flexible than being able to write the code that does the thing you want it to do, rather than creating, then mixing and matching objects/abst

What's your definition of 'know'? It's very common to have surface level knowledge of the class only to dive in and see that it does something else. So do you 'know' the code as well as you thought so? Probably

This LOC count is going to be a huge problem in the future, and you'll see it as the bug count climbs. It'll be hard for people to understand how the system works and hard for them to ramp up. You'll see the slow decline if t

About time someone advocated for code in lower level styles of programming. Hope it goes well! Anyway, here's some questions: - What kind of programs would you say C is a good fit for? - There is some catching up to do for C. Is there
