There was a lot of great art produced in the Soviet Union, you cannot just erase human creativity. It was heavily censored, a lot of stuff was forbidden, but the statement is clearly false.

And wolves are ideal?

The only search engine with its own index in Europe (not EU) is Yandex. There is a lot of controversy around it for obvious reasons, but at least it exists

Not a very good analogy, we spent thousands of years creating dogs that are very unlikely to attack people. Just imagine the world in which all dogs turn into wolves overnight.

Because you can have an arbitrary number of object that can all be freed in O(1), instead of traversing a tree and calling individual destructors. An arena per object makes no sense

And what if it turns out that Germany is currently sending billions of euro to the country that blew it up? I don't think anyone in the government wants to answer this question

> because of political and ideological priorities over pragmatism FWIW, depending on cheap Russian gas was very pragmatical and it worked well for the economy.

What other compiled language has a significantly better way of solving compile-time flags?

Any way to turn it off would defeat the entire purpose. It's annoying, but I'm still glad that it's there

I'm astonished that the chats of EU officials and politicians are not exempt. A mistake, no doubt, one which will be corrected shortly

There won't be any riots. This is the scariest part, most people just don't care

> In Cyrillic just one That's not true. Depends on the language, of course, but at least in Russian there are definitely more than one way to express many sounds using different letters. For example, there is no difference in pronun

Cromagnons are Homo sapiens, though

It's the only way to really solve the problem. Simply creating a safer alternative won't help, they already exist. The real problem is the vast ocean of already existing critical unsafe code

> The cost of that has been literally billions of dollars in losses due to buffer overflows over the decades. How much, do you think, would rewriting all existing C code cost?

Once it's just regular Pascal, why translate it to C? Why not just keep it as is and compile with Free Pascal/Lazarus?

I have seen more leaks in the golang project I currently work on than in most C++ codebases I've worked with in my career. It's trivial to leak stuff in golang, and much more difficult to make sure that you don't

What's wrong with doing a boring job for a lot of money and then getting all the fun elsewhere? This actually seems to be the best way to do it to me

That's not how recover is used in practice
502.
by usrnm 2y ago
If they are really exceptional situations that should never happen, just crash the process. The moment recover was added they become just another error handling mechanism

Then it shouldn't have added exceptions in the first place. But exceptions in go exist and so does exception (un)safety, and denial only leads to buggy code. I cannot count how many times I've seen exception unsafe code in go exac

by usrnm 2y ago
Adding exceptions to golang doesn't make any sense for a very simple reason: they're already there. The fact that they're called differently doesn't change anything, panics walk like exceptions, swim like exceptions and

So competition is suddenly a bad thing when you're losing? Okay

The book specifically considers Eurasia to be one geographical region and it does acknowledge the technological developments in China. The fact that Europe became the winner in this race, according to GGS, is a sign that while geography is
