I love how the government recommends this, but then does absolutely nothing to make sure affordable housing actually exists for most people so that they can follow this advice.

No, it doesn't. I never said it did.

One thing I've heard a lot about mental illnesses is that you can't treat them very well unless the person believes and understands they have a problem. Otherwise, counseling is completely ineffective, and medication doesn't work either unless you can somehow force-feed it to them on a regular schedule (something you can only really do if they're institutionalized).

A frequently-cited problem with schizophrenics, for instance, is that they'll take some medication, feel much better, and then decide they're "better" and don't need medicine any more, and stop taking the medication, and then go back to nutty behavior.

Maybe, maybe not. Tenured professors are really hard to fire.

The system allocates all the memory it needs at start-up. The tasks it's assigned fit into the available system memory. Since there's no such thing as processes which are started and stopped and restarted, you have no need of deallocating memory.

The thing you're missing here is library support. Modern programming makes use of lots of libraries (esp. for things like GUIs), and really new languages may not have the library support that a mature language enjoys.

That's because Ada was named after a person, a woman known generally as "Ada Lovelace" (she was a noble in the early 1800s, her full name is really long). Java was named after either an island or a type of coffee or both. Python was named after a snake. PHP is an acronym, which originally stood for "Personal Home Page". Acronyms are generally written in all-caps; that's why it's written that way.

Qt works great for C++ GUIs.

Yes, I used to do a lot of OO Perl programming. It's entirely possible to write clean-looking Perl that looks pretty much just like C.

Unfortunately, a lot of Perl programmers don't.

We manage memory the old fashioned way: quality built software. Do we manually call new() and delete()? yep. Do we leak memory? Nope. Can I prove it? You can bet you life on it. Literally. We have proven our software will never leak memory--proven it to the point that engineers have signed off on our software certifying it for use in life critical systems. A car you drive, an airplane you fly in or a medical device used by your doctor may have our code in it.

Please tell me which airplanes have this shoddy code so I can avoid them. I've worked on avionics systems, and they do NOT use delete(), ever. That's completely against coding standards. Once memory is allocated in an embedded system, it cannot be de-allocated.

Oh my god. No offense, but I think that is a terrible idea. The Qt codebase is HUGE. You're literally advocating adding a gigabyte of code to a project just to get some networking code. Think about it. If someone wants to use his project, step 1 is to get Qt for that platform. That's fine for Ubuntu Desktop Linux or something totally mainstream, but it's a big deal if he wants to go embedded or to a RTOS.

Wrong.

The Qt code is modular; you only include the libraries you actually use.

And Qt is very popular on embedded platforms (ones running Linux and having a display).

I don't care if the fear is real, it's based on stupidity and shouldn't be catered to.

There's no reason to have rubber snakes in a workplace, but using cellphones and wifi routers is basically mandatory these days, and is based on sound reasons. If someone has a problem with that, they should be fired.

Not a problem: there's a bunch of aftermarket companies who will custom-modify your car for you with xenon lights.

I chatted recently with a woman on OKCupid who got degrees in ESM, and ended up working as a high school teacher. Somehow she managed to complete her degrees, but according to her there was a lot of poor treatment by the other students, and one professor told her point-blank that she wasn't wanted there. That professor was Middle Eastern. Surprise, surprise. Of course, the SJWs just love Muslims, so I wonder what they'd say about this.

They want all the benefits and convenience of living in a town, but they insist on everyone else doing things their way and conforming to their demands.

Basically, they're assholes.

You're exactly right; normal people who just don't get along that well with society don't do this: they move out to the sticks and live as they please out there.
