It is a strawman. And typically, this strawman wears a fedora. It's the classic "haha see I used your beliefs against you can you tell how superior I am?" argument you see from pseudo-intellectuals. In fact the argument prese

Yes. You're not understanding that Banning someone from your private establishment is within your rights. If they want to run their own business they can elsewhere. Banning someone via an ISP is different because ISPs have so much infr

The ACLU will absolutely oppose this. If not for the reason they stand to make a lot of money suing ISPs for "not doing enough" to stop the big-ole-meanies online. I see ISPs blocking "mean speech" to "protect peopl

I'm now at -4 score on this post. I find it funny that regularly you hear people specifically avoid calling this place a "social network" or "reddit-like". It's a wonderful ode to the dunning-kruger no-coder. T

It is no worse than the voting system being used to beat people down that don't subscribe to the dogmatic view of the world HN readers do. In fact, this is almost better, because at least people will continue to see a dissenting post.

Yes most modern C compilers will stop you from dereferencing a void pointer. Still, I couldn't help but bring up what can happen. Since I didn't witness it I can only assume 3 mile island was someone dereferencing a void pointer

Void pointers refer to anything and nothing. They are everything and all encompassing. What is pointed to by the void pointer could be what you want or it could be another universe. Dereferencing a void pointer has no meaning. The compiler

For people who are half decent with money the companies that offer "12 months no interest" type plans are the best. In theory, it allows you to invest the capital up front for the 12 months and then pay it off. You essentially can

Not really. Or at least, none that I've found. There's belt magic you can do with splitters and underground belts that is pretty cool. But yeah, the limitations still exist. From what I understand mods can fix it.
