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.

I don't see the problem with people harassing these "electrosensitives". They're self-righteous assholes, and interlopers.

The mixed-race people you talk about most likely were not newcomers, and were not doing anything to irritate their neighbors, such as demanding them all to change their lightbulbs. These "electrosensitives", OTOH, are basically invading a small town which doesn't want them there, and then demanding all kinds of changes and generally being a nuisance. I don't see why the townsfolk should be obligated to treat them nicely at all. They're not welcome there. No one forced them to move there, and they should move somewhere else.

Simple: these "electrosensitives" aren't willing to work that hard.

You can't reason with craziness like that, so mental health professionals can't help.

What these people need to do is go to the Midwest and find a completely abandoned town, and move there. Then no one will care, and everyone else will be glad to be rid of them. There's lots of abandoned towns in the midwest.

Most likely, she's related to someone important there, and/or she's very attractive and this is useful to the company for when visitors arrive.
