No you get. over. it, Your statement is clueless.
The compiler is not doing anything creative or original at all so it is definately not WRITING code. It is simply compiling it which most usually includes intermidiate steps such as conversion to lexemes, then to trigraphs, then to assembly, then optimized assembly, then target-specific binary.
Each step is simply converting the output of the previuos step to another logically equivalent form. There is no create input so It is not writing (i.e. creating) anything at all itself. That is ONLY the file you wrote that forms the initial input.

1) he's clearly asking the question "do (sic) ITIL hates skilled people?" its even in the title.
2) The question was perflectly clear to me.
3) Peecee does not trump the truth
4) Actually most of us here ARE "IT sorts"
5) why? non-excessive swearing can be legitimately used to get a point over forcefully. And where did he swear anyway?

Here's some tips for you:
1) Don't be a dick. You must already be aware you're making dickish comments otherwise you wouldn't have hid behind posting anonymously.

2) At least bother to read the whole fucking article before you trash it so you dont make any more obviously misguided criticisms.

No it doesn't write code. It compiles the code you wrote. Thats why its called a compiler.

Bwahahahahahaha. Thanks I needed a laugh.

Dumbidum? Does It have electrolytes?

Thank you for sharing that. It was like the old man wrote it himself. And I don't think there's any higher commendation.

All the fans knew it was coming for a while now, but with this news the world suddenly seems a lot more grey. I guess octarine isn't quite as imaginary as we all thought.

Gods bless, Terry. You will be sorely missed.

We use C or C++ with provisos depending on what Design Assurance Level (A-E) the product is, (See FAA standard DO178B that covers software development for avionics). We have to comply with our processes based on DO178B so depending on the DAL of the project we may or may not be able to use mechanisms that lead to unpredictable code paths such as exceptions, recursion, inheritance etc. IMHO the actual effect of that is to make the risk of potential problems worse.

Yeah I take it you're a web developer or something similar where most code is considered throwaway or "here today gone tomorrow".

Auto code generation of any kind just doesn't fly (literally) in my field (embedded, avionics).

>> You're completely off base.
No you are. neenner.

>> Code generation is a vital productivity tool.
except maybe for generating event handler stubs for GUI code, or throwaway protoype apps, I strongly disagree.

Auto-generated code is often unmaintainable and supporting it long term is way more of a time-consuming pain in the ass than it saves. Generally, if you need a program to write code for you, chances are you have other problems.

QT is awful. Any helper library that also needs its own preprocessor has definately lost the plot somewhere.
QT also enocurages bad programmers to use endless amounts of signals and slots that break encapsluation and obscure program flow, where a normal function or method call would have been used before. Good luck trying to figure out program flow with heavy use of those abominations.

Whilst I dont agree with the sentiment of these morons...There are also fraternities that happily publicise themseves as being for African Americans only, yet somehow no-one seems at all bothered by their existence.

These clowns saying black people will never join their frat is racist, but pretty much just the same shoe on the other foot.

Racism won't ever go away until we end the whole idea that any organisation can legally and more importantly, morally exist and only cater to one race (so by extension exclude others). The perceived relative social status of any race is should not ever trump racism.

Until we change our social values to make it unacceptable for single-race organsations to exist at all (no matter how well-intended they are, the racial divide is being constaly reinforced by their very existence and racism won't ever be allowed to go away.

I would like to know what the US Gov's real objectives are in funding Tor in the first place. Call me cynical but I have a hard time believing its truly altruistic.

Its already known that the NSA and GCHQ already have found at least partially successful ways to identify Tor users
http://www.theguardian.com/wor...
That leak is old, so you can bet they've made progress since then.
Tor is probably still better than nothing but not much. Or is it? maybe just by using Tor at all you are making yourself more likely to be watched/snooped on.
Consequently all Tor can really offer at this point is a false sense of security.

Snowden must be mad wanting to return to the US.

There is no way in hell he will get a fair trial since the US Gov are just dying to make an example of him.

Any judge that Snowden gets will already know to play ball with the US Gov so will automatically give Snowden the worst possible sentence.

My guess is added spyware, ad-related content, micropayments, a locked-in addons store and a dumbed-down user interface with all the most useful and frequently used functionaity now either removed, hidden or buried under a layer of braindead ribbon tools.
