And in my opinion there was nothing disrespectful in Linus'email (expect towards the standard people, but they truly did a big mistake..) so I wouldn't want to work with you as you seem 'overly sensitive'..

And with the "usual" access '[]' std::vector doesn't bound check either, you have to use 'at' for this (except in some library with some flags ), doesn't seem that safe to me!

I'm currently trying to switch from Eclipse to vim: to ease the transition I'm using gvim. One difficulty with vim is that you have to configure it because by default it's pretty dumb..

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to have 'heisenberg exceptions': if an exception is caught, it's just a normal exception, but if it isn't caught then there is a core dump which means you get all the data you nee

Seeing all these efforts to revive old SWs, I find it a little sad that the STEPS project released nearly nothing beside papers..

With a true 'd = 0' for entangled particuls you could have faster than light communication no? But entanglement as far as we know now doesn't allow FTL communications .

I still don't understand why CPUs don't provide support for 'fat pointers'. ARM has 'load pair' to update two registers in one go, it would just need a 'load/store from array' instruction to chec

I disagree with some of your comments, is git stash really essential or unneeded complexity? That's debatable, I never use it personally. What I don't like in git is the loss of history associated with squashing commits, I would p

Unfortunately I think that this statement has some truth in it: I work in telecoms where we care about realtime: I was used to work in C but my latest project is in C++, I was curious about how C++ and realtime mix: the answer is quite poor

> FWIW I'd disagree with this definition. To give a really simple example: believing in an intelligent creator based on design in nature. Except that this doesn't answer the question: how this intelligent creator came to exist?

I think that you're right #1 is a 'killer feature' in that it killed Wave: think about such feature at work, would you really like to see your boss see when you made a big mistake without having the time to think twice? Even

The other problem: the electricty cost includes the cost of disposing the nuclear reactors: if they weren't able to price correctly the building of the power plant, are you confident that they priced correctly the disposal of the power

Yes and no: when you want to do real-time programming (either no allocation or allocation only during an 'initialisation' phase) using C++ like a better C is a good idea IMHO.

Uh? Your point about the church is weird: I live in France which has rejected (mostly) church a long time ago and this hasn't really created a 'slew of new problems'.

Mainly because of too short sprints, where I work its two weeks and you usually have to do analysis+code+tests. Needless to say that the quality isn't very good and there is no proper documentation..

Yep all these ISA have a 16bit extension.

I disagree when you're used to 0based array languages and you use a 1based array language (or vice versa of course), you have a high risk of 'off by one' errors.

That's funny: my python's experience is totally opposite from yours: I find that me and my colleague keep making mistakes that would have been caught by the compiler.. So we're replacing a Python based test system by a C++ on

Maybe but because books were scarce 'back in the days' didn't mean that they were high quality either..

Only if you created a 'safe API' on top of the unsafe code otherwise the bug could be everywhere.. I remember a SSL bug which was really an API bug: it isn't always easy to create a 'safe' API..

In classic physic, nothing is a concept true, in quantum physic with the foam of virtual particles coming from the void (see casimir effect) 'nothing' is a much nebulous concept!

The thing is: it's very different being the coach or the nanny than being the parents: one friend told me that it was very easy for her to take care of others children so she expected that it would be the same for her own children, whi

Why? As long as float -> int implicit conversion are forbidden, I don't see any issue with allowing implicit int -> float conversion.

I think that git is quite good, but I don't like the notion of 'squashing commits': when you squash commits you loose history! I would prefer to have a "fold/folder" of commits which could be manipulated as &#x
