Not just any fish. It absolutely must be herring.
BSODs? That's Windows, right?
1) unfair comparison
2) old news
3) 100% nvidia's fault
4) Fuck you NVidia!
5) Profit.
Apparently, some knuckle dragger with mod points does not know their history.

"The open source driver for NVidia". Nouveau. NVidia does not need to "have" this driver for it to be open source. The contrary if anything. I can't for the life of me imagine a reason for your troll.
If you want cash, you have to give me a discount greater than my card gives me. I am not here to make your store profitable.
What an ass. Did you ever think for a moment that cutting out the retail bank as middleman could make life better for you, the merchant and society in general?
Templates and lambdas are two completely separate things. Most of my lambda usage is without templates. And template usage is largely unreadable because of crappy STL design (eg., disallows constant expressions) rather than the template language itself.
Structure returns used to suck in GCC code generator wise, now they are fine. The same will be true of lambdas. They offer optimization opportunities if anything.
I presume that you think it would be a good idea to tax all uses of cash as well?
If you buy 1 BTC for $100 and sell it for $120 then yes, you should be taxed on the $20 profit you made. As is done currently with speculating on stock and currency exchange. What's the big news?
Whoosh. That is not what the proposal is about. The Canadian proposal is that if you buy $100 worth of bitcoins and sell them for the exact same price, you will have to pay a transaction tax, unlike the case with normal cash.
Lambdas are indeed "tricks" that IMO are syntax candy (in C++), can be a bitch to debug, and add little value
You know about this trick, but you do not know this trick. The C++ incarnation is mildly funky but flexible and tidly solves a host of messy structural issues. And it's easy to read if you actually think that way, which IMHO, any practicing programmer should be able to do.
Give an example of a "trick".
C++11 lambdas.
old people have higher Health Care and don't like pulling 80+ weeks.
Or even 40+ weeks. And don't need to because they tend to do their work more efficiently as opposed to galloping odf enthusiastically in all directions. Ultimately producing stronger, more maintainable code. By way of substantiation, note that the typical European worker at ~37 hours/week is typically as productive as an American or Asian worker supposedly putting in way more hours. The equalizer is, Europeans tend to plan better and waste less time.
BTW, note that being an older programmer does not obviate the possibility of having a young lover. Far from it. In work or love it's about keeping your stamina up: take care of your eyes and your body. Treasure your enthusiasm for life. Keep your mind active and never stop learning. The rest just falls into place.
Technical content is nearly zero. Puff piece for techno bystanders.
Canadian idiocrats are doing this because they do not expect an organized response from the victims er sorry constituency. Imagine what would happen if a tax on stock transactions were proposed (that is, in addition to taxing gains, tax every single transaction, win or lose).
Etiquette is for those with no breeding; fashion for those with no taste.
