The debt grew under Reagan. It was 907B in 1980 and 2600B in 1988. Even as a percent of GDP, that's an increase

You've missed the entire point and it begs the question:
Why do you feel the need to blow up pixels or beat up virtual hookers in the first place though?
No, it comes down to explicitness is always better than explicitness. There is no case in which yours is better, or even usable code.
Don't worry- Java people are learning how to make up for that by creating whole incomprehensible sublanguages based on annotation processing that make C macros look good.
Totally disagree. If I see
for(int i: items) {
if(i<10){
results.add(i);
}
}
I know exactly what it does. Anyone who has done any programming in any language can guess what it does. Its simple, easy to read, and if you want can be pulled into a function. Your haskell and Python implementations are unreadable and requires the user to think about each line. They're inferior to straight forward programming by orders of magnitude and should never be used.
Well, if it works for CEOs then why would people have any problems "justifying" it with games?
It is depressing that you were incorrectly modded troll simply because you asked a really important question about what it means to be human and compassionate.
At the risk of being downmodded, what can you expect from a society that gets barbaric entertainment from watching 2 men beat each other up senseless. Most people would rather waste their lives watching someone else's Unreality crap else such as the Kartrashians and go ape shit over nudity (Oh Noes! We were all born naked! Who knew!) then actually learn something constructive for free.
Yeah, some of us are bothered by the excessive violence. Fortunately we have a choice. Turn it off. Don't play it.
It is the same reason professional athletesget paid millions and teachers get crap pay. Society just doesn't value education. They want (and will pay for) dumb entertainment.
/Oblg. "The Emacs operating system needs a better editor."
I prefer Vim myself as I feel it is like an extension of my mind; it was written by a programmer for programmers.
Either way, you can't go wrong with Vim or Emacs.
Note: Only immature ob developers get into stupid flame wars over which editor is better. (Hint: They ALL suck; some just suck more.)
They're going to love a new currency. Look at how much they can manipulate a regulated currency to fuck over people and enrich themselves. Image what they can do with an unregulated one.
Its not possible to stop murder. So we should get rid of the laws against it, why bother if it's not possible?
Just because perfection can't be achieved doesn't mean something isn't worth doing.
If I don't get a vaccine, and I infect you (although how is that supposed to happen if you're vaccinated?) have I committed violence upon you?
Yes. Yes you have.
Memory fault - where am I?
