Kind of disingenuous to compare FFI in other languages with the fact that a lot of everyday C code can be compiled as C++ code without issue (even though C isn't strictly a proper subset of C++, in actual practice it very nearly is - n

It was crazy to see suggestions to wear masks or claims that covid was airborne getting "fact-checked" by the media only to reverse their position months later after WHO put out new statements. In particular, the phrase "no c

Many of the practices proposed to reduce the impact on the environment are nonstarters because of low land yields (and indeed might actually be worse on the environment because you need to convert more land to farmland). If this method has

I expect I'd be annoyed by that sound too if I drove the WRX but I don't. I drive a Forester and don't hear any exhaust note - just the rumble from the engine up front.
