No one should ever have to work with C++ metaprogramming in their work.
He wasn't working.
He was playing.

This is the most terrifying and ridiculous thing I've seen in my entire life.
Americans have spent more than a trillion hours watching reality TV. That is far more terrifying and ridiculous than someone playing with a Turing-complete compiler meta-language.
They would still have their one phone call
The "one phone call" is a myth made up by Hollywood. Last time I was arrested, there were several phones in the holding cell, and I was there for four hours. I could make as many phone calls as I wanted, to anyone, either local or collect.
The court just drew massive attention to this guy that wouldn't otherwise have been there. Doh!
The news reports don't mention his name, so he isn't getting much attention.
If Google isn't allowed to report facts, why shouldn't journalists be censored as well?
It said he molested a girl under 18. That means she was 17, which isn't a big deal.
According to Google, it was a "vicious crime" which implies that it was forcible and non-consensual. I think that makes it a "big deal".
Places where thats been tried, and chemical castration as well, these people tend to still rape they just do it with implements, like sticks.
Here is a citation that says you are wrong.
I don't think Prenda Law holds any copyrights. The interesting question is whether they had permission to publish the things they published.
Why not? Suing them seems totally appropriate unless they are making adequate pre-purchase disclosure, and ensuring that the prospective purchaser is aware of the characteristics of the thing they are purchasing.
Disagree? Re-read Adam Smith.
Say what?
Template metaprogramming is exactly functional programming.
Not only that, C++98 style was completely 100% pure with no mutabe state. You got recuursion and pattern matching (called [partial] specialisation). A class is essentially a function returning a type (well, multiple types) as internal typedefs. And as such functions are very much first class objects.
C++11 added some local mutable state. constexpr functions can now be evaluated at compile time. Those yielding an int can be used as template arguments.
This is the most terrifying and ridiculous thing I've seen in my entire life.
No, the most terrifying and ridiculous thing would be if it was rewritten in JavaScript which outputted Java source that piped C# source that then, when compiled and executed, outputted as an x86 ASM program that produced a PHP script.
The formula is simple
if ($hurtslittleguy==TRUE)
proceedwithassrape($dildolength);
I'm thinking those shysters running Prenda are in for a world of pain. Let us hope they hire lawyers just as depraved as they are.
A better title would be "Volkswagen Factory Worker Killed By Industrial Machinery."
The "industrial machinery" in this case was a robot. And they're really called robots. So why not be specific?
It seems like something that would make it much more difficult for ordinary thieves to exploit cell phones. That would seem to be pretty useful.
And much easier for the Police / FBI / etc... to exploit to unlock your phone. That would seem to be pretty useful - for them.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
