Really...with 1000 dollars you can already have a luxury wedding in the Phillipines. Plus, you are already on your destination honeymoon.
Yeah, but how do you get 200+ people there for the party, without the cost going up?
the news increasingly censors any opinion that would be against socialism or popular accepted opinions
I find it incredible that in the 21st century Internet-connected Scandinavia, there are no independent contrarian news outlets.
There are. Don't conflate Sweden with the rest of Scandinavia, and even if Sweden there are contrarian outlets, it is just that most Swedes pretend opions they don't like don't exits.
For speakers of Commonwealth English, 'a fourth' is American for 'a quarter'.
Did you buy that information for a fourth?
That is not dead which can eternal lie, in unmaintained hardware burried deep in your organization.
Dolphin to Orca: Hey man, you need to get checked out. It looks like you blew a seal.
Orca to Dolphin: Nope, it's just ice cream.
Are you sure you are not confusing it with a sperm whale?
Does a helicoptor count? If not, why not?
Yeah. And as I remember the twin tests from a decade ago, they did show genetics played a large role in how well the kids did in early school, but by the time they twins were 18, the environment was a much bigger factor. In other words the article here has it backwards. Genes doesn't predict intelligence in adults very well, upbringing does, but what genes do predict is how easy a time you will have in early school, which may help you if you have bad school. However, if you don't have an easy time early in school, know that, by the time you are out of school and university, the genes doesn't matter as much as how hard you worked (and how good schools/parents you got).
So you can register an account with an email from another domain? Still I know of no-bugzilla where security bugs are allowed to be seen by everybody from a certain domain. They are allowed to be seen by certain number of emails, and since they are already registered, you can't create a new account with one of those.
So, not really that much of an issue unless you have really wide permission to everybody from specific email domains.
So can we expect all the junk food emporiums to now start recruiting fatties to serve their customers?
Sound reasonable. Though with the current overweight ratio in America.. Don't they already by simple stastical chance?
The importance of this is underestimated. With a sanely written C++ program (merely sticking to the modern approaches) memory and resource leaks are a thing of the past, but you still get the completely predictable and deterministic resource management of C.
Unfortunately, you can't use any of that in the kernel [overloading create/destroy new/delete operators won't cut it]. Spinlocks, rwlocks, RCU, slab allocation, per cpu variables, explicit cache flush, memory fence operations, I/O device mappings, ISRs, tasklets, kmalloc vs vmalloc, deadlocks, livelocks, etc. are the issues a kernel programmer has to deal with. Nothing in C++ will help with these and some C++ constructs are actually a hindrance rather than a help.
For instance, copy constructors must be disabled. This was part of a proposal a few years back to make a C++ subset suitable for realtime/embedded. It isn't acceptable to have "x = y" invoke an unexpected amount of code simply because you inadvertantly invoked a copy constructor.
Kernels by their nature are messy. Anybody writing kernel code must be fully aware of the implications of doing something and must be aware of the state they're being called in. Abstraction just makes this job harder not easier.
For example, all kernel code must be compiled with -mno-red-zone because of the threat that any base code could receive an interrupt at any time [even between 2-3 machine instructions that comprise the red zone setup code].
Linux already does a pretty fair job of keeping things clean. If you don't believe that, actually go read the kernel source code. And, if something ends up being crufty, it gets cleaned up. Even if that means that some 100 or so modules need corresponding changes.
As someone who have tought kernel programming and C++ at the same time, I call bullshit on all of that.
Overloading allocation is exactly one of the useful features of C++, and copying is no different than on C. You can in fact even explicitly disable copying or explicitly enforce default copying in C++11. Things that is error-prone and boiler plate code in C is easy in C++. As for memory barriers and all that, C++ is again no different from C. Usually you use compiler extensions or assembler for kind of feature, but it is much easier in C++ where you can create templates and wrappers do use all of this correctly, convientenly and safely.
The abstractions of C++ makes handling most kernel issues easier, but it does require more skill as C++ is greater language, this is also why it was great to teach students C++ by letting them write a kernel, they had to learn what C++ features actually did and which to use and what not to use.
Unfortunately C programmers are a religous sect at this point. The believe C++ is witchcraft because they don't understand it, and refuse to learn.
Atleast since HTTP/1.0
Ah, so it is a regression
