Also do not forget the more common case: - foo.c includes bar.h and baz.h - bar.h and baz.h both include qux.h This is why most C header files have ifdef guards like this #ifndef __BAR_H #define __BAR_H // contents go here #endif

I was not supporting the protesters. That was not my intention. I was trying to point out what was wrong in the parent comment. i.e. comparing SFO to Chicago is wrong for the reasons he mentioned. From your comment and others I have seen, i

Are they specifically targeting Google and not other big companies ? Or is it just the article baiting for clicks ?

The flip side of the story is that having RMS pushing for copy left software relentlessly means you have an free OS + kernel and free development tools that can run on practically any given device. APPLE is one of the few companies that ref

While it makes CUDA more readable, I feel like the amount of time taken to write the code in this language will be very close to writing actual CUDA code for someone who is experienced with it.

Delhi is not a state. Indian politicians have contested in constituencies they have not resided for a very long time. Kejriwal hasn't done something new here.

The problem with statements like this is, whose ethics should one be held against ? The ethics of the majority population are usually more misses than hits. Ethics of the peers will perhaps be better but will still suffer from different kin

They made good business decisions to make that money. That does not give them the right to become ass holes and claim everything they did was original and exclusive to them. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy. Some better than others,

Make makes it possible to compile only the files you have changed in your code base to produce the library / output you want. bash scripts usually end up compiling the entire codebase even if there is only one file that has changed. TL
