However it happened, the end effect is the same. First Google called black people gorillas, now they discriminate against women.
What is it going to take before you no longer feel compelled to make excuses for them? Do they have to go skynet on everyone before you think that *maybe* they should be a little more careful with their AI algorithms? Or is it simpler than that? Maybe they just have to negatively impact a few white male programmers for you to get upset about it.
The combination of freedom of speech and of the press combined with the _very_ strong language of the 2nd amendment nullifies any law against publishing instructions on building firearms.
This does not mean that the US Government will not only pass but enforce such laws. The US Government hasn't been lawful for a long time.
"week end". At least in English-speaking world, Sunday is the last day.
I was on the NASA Genesis price team. Only a few hundred million lost on that one when it crashed into Earth...
I thought MS-DOS didn't get folders until 2.0
MS-DOS never had folders. It had directories, the brain-dead relabelling by Microsoft didn't come until Windows 95.
1. Besides hello.jpg, there's giver.jpg.
2. The goatse image (hello.jpg) comes from a set of 40 photos.
You can find more in the proper encyclopedia.
You're assuming they're thinking rationally. They're not. It's not a well-calculated strategy, it's all about Islam.
Let me say it in french so it's pretty clear:
Fuck you, Loto-Québec.
As they're from Quebec, this won't work. You need to name some church utensils or furniture instead.
For example in the Linux iptables packet filter, you can disable the IPv6 protocol completely with a single command:
iptables -I INPUT -p 41 -j DROP
No, that will drop just one of many ways of tunnelling IPv6 over IPv4. To drop or manipulate IPv6 packets, you need to use ip6tables instead.
And you really shouldn't be using DROP here, as it will delay every connection until timeout expires. You want REJECT instead.
Non-existence being the best possible security.
Rust can't be used to build a kernel because you can't handle OOM reliably.
From context I'm getting that's Out Of Memory. I don't know much about Rust; but what you're describing sounds more like a problem with the current implementation rather than the language itself... unless the developers painted themselves into a corner by specifying that allocation failure must panic and can't return something like a NULL.
Me, personally? I wouldn't want to do anything you describe. I'm wagering Linus doesn't either. The question was if he was *interested* in these new languages. Laying that aside now, what you're describing might be easier with Clang. That leads (heheh) to another question, and a quick googling seems to indicate that the kernel can't be built with Clang yet...
This is close enough to the question I had in mind that I've decided to comment on this thread instead. My question would have been phrased as: Do you ever see yourself wanting to do kernel programming in something other than C and assembly?
Particularly I'm wondering if he has any interest in Rust or Go, since they are actually targeting themselves at lower levels. I doubt he'd want to put Haskell in the kernel; whereas he might have different opinions about it outside that domain. Of course hopefully he'll answer so we won't have to speculate.
Race relations are hard. Society is complicated. Your bike shed is the wrong color. Don't fly that flag on it.
One small step for man, one giant stumble for mankind.
