If you have a successful bed making business, and I decide to start making beds too, you'll certainly make less profit, but I haven't stolen from you. Deprivation of income is not theft, practically any action you take deprives so

Has Anonymous ever been an actual group or more of a loose collection of people claiming the name?

That's probably on purpose so you make a donation.

> No, C++ destructors are used for finalizers, not memory management. In the original comment I may have overstated this. I was ignoring the other uses of destructors because the context of the discussion was memory management. But memor

What program was used to create the dependency diagrams? And is there some more general introduction for using this sort of dependency analysis for low level optimizations?

Timsort is not in place, and is essentially similar to mergesort. Most libraries use quicksort for sorting primatives, so it's the right thing to compare to.

Isn't this not a "zero-day"? Zero-day refers to when the company has no notice of an exploit.

Java is an example of a language with a generational copy collector by default. Most objects in Java don't have a finalizer, since after all the main point of, for example, destructors in C++ is to make sure you don't leak memory,

You could buy a Jetson Nano developer kit which is $99 and has a GPU (I'm not in anyway associated with Nvidia and have never bought a Nano).

Won't that mostly benefit the more well off people in Hong Kong, since it's quite a big cost and risk to move? Not that I don't support freer immigration; I just think exodus is kind of the worst case scenario.

Many people are opposed to expanding legal immigration. From what I understand it's currently quite hard to get into the U.S. legally.

Why would you use browser-based video editing over desktop-based free software, where you can read the source (or listen to someone you trust who has read the source) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious? Besides the fact tha

In the context of the original comment, aren't the performance characteristics of .NET pretty similar to the JVM (though I have no experience with the former)? I don't see big reasons why someone who likes C# would hate Kotlin. F#

Why is it implausible? The resulting fatality rate seems close to other scientific results I've seen.

I'm sorry but 0.1%-0.2% directly contradicts 0.6%-0.9% (or higher because that doesn't account for the lag between infection and death). That's a 3 to 9 times higher death rate.

by zucker42 7y ago
Nope, the Stanford study had a much lower prediction of the infections to deaths ratio, but that's because its analysis of the data was just wrong.

I think it's clear that anything that Java/Go can do, C++ can do faster. The question is how much effort does it take to get to that point.
