No, twitter is agreeing that corporations are people too.

Fair question.

Oh wait, it was rhetorical. Well go ahead then, show us the evidence that you have that they didn't do any followup.

Yep, sometimes when the weather is cold in Texas, that's because the climate is warming globally. Weather is not climate, and Texas is not the planet. Nothing strange about it.

You're right that "it's cold because it's warm" sounds stupid. But then you're the one who said that, so if you don't like the way it sounds, just stop saying it.

WHO HQ is in Geneva, Switzerland.

You really are eager to pick a fight, aren't you? You pretend to be even-handed by giving minor fake praise first, and then launch into your tirade. You're not even replying to anything, you managed to work yourself into a frenzy all by yourself.

Please think about what kind of place you want slashdot to be, before you write something like that again.

Correction against what? P/E? Inner value?

Bitcoin has none of that. There's no reference that you can use to judge the market price and assess if it's under- or over-valued. Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, it's all psychology.

Or pyflakes. pylint does catch more errors, but it is slow and has too many false positives. pyflakes is fast and does well at catching typos.

My recommendation is to always run pyflakes locally before committing anything, and check what pylint -E says on occasion, maybe run it on a CI server.

Did you overlook that they are counting security flaws per application?

The most used languages have more high-quality libraries, and the more work you can farm out to a high-quality library, the less opportunity you have to add bugs of your own.

I presume you are trying to pretend that's some kind of problem?

7.5e6 kg divided by a population of 3e8 is 25 grams per capita.

Rare earths are plentiful. Not a problem.

The only thing just as stupid is using a push model...

Push revocations are O(number_of_certificates_in_the_world). With a small constant, sure, but it still has the capacity to be overwhelming. What would you say to 100MB of revocations coming over the metered internet connection to your phone every month?

Are you kidding me? Are they still struggling with that? iostreams performance problems go back way longer than 2013, I actually thought that was a 1990's problem that they surely must have solved by now.

It's the perfect illustration of where C++ fails to live up to its promise. If you look at the iostreams design, there's some nice thinking behind it. The idea is to replace the slow printf interpreter with compile-time machinery for the double benefit of type-safety and speed. In theory all those layers of abstraction should just optimise away, leaving terse and efficient machine code.

Somehow, it just didn't pan out. When I did most of my C++ programming back in the 1990's, there was a turn of phrase about how the abstraction overhead from this and that construct would be removed by the perfectly optimizing compiler. Of course there's no such thing as a perfectly optimizing compiler. The more layers you add, the harder it becomes for the compiler to guess what to inline and what not to.

I don't doubt that sometimes it gets done. There are some templated numerical libraries that crack the riddle and get super-high performance, and maybe the FastFormat thing you linked to falls in that category too. But it seems to take multiple tries and stupendous amount of effort expended per line of code to get to that level.

Never. Backwards compatibility. Seriously, how can you even suggest that :)

You are missing the point. The point isn't that the feature is useful.

The point is that every PS4 now displays a PS5 advertisement. Now all the people that were perfectly happy with their PS4 and in no hurry to buy a replacement, will get the message that they're not getting the most out of their PS4 if they don't also buy a PS5.
