So what? If qsort() is the bottleneck (it hardly ever is IME) and inlining solves the problem, one can still implement a faster or equally fast algorithm in C. More work? Of course, but kinda cool too.
I do live in a county which stores nuclear waste. It's not a problem at all.
I've read that burning coal releases way more radioactive material than nuclears, accidents excluded I assume.
I wonder why Merkel shut down nuclear. It's probably the biggest fuckup ever, along with the whole Energiewende thing. Germany could have been CO2 neutral today if they had taken the nuclear route instead of 'going green.' And they spent like 500 billion Euros?
Who benefited from Merkel's choice? The Russians?
Modern language? Ada has been around almost as long as C, and is considered by many to be quite safe.

Qubes OS does that, and a lot more too.
> If you drink 3 beer over the course of a night you have consumed 1.8 g of alcohol and a liter or water.
Are you drinking American beer here? One liter of beer has more like 50 grams of alcohol.
Nobody's blaming victims, read at least the summary before you start ranting.
[...]if you look at the rest of the world, people are not only capable of empathy; it is a pillar of their community. They are humans. While we act more like lizards.
You haven't been around much, have you?
The keyboard is not the bottleneck when writing new code. Most experienced developers know that.
Maybe this tool will work best for refactoring code and/or QA/linting?
I wonder why Microsoft haven't yet created their own safe C-like language. Google has Go. Mozilla has Rust. Of course they've created C#/F# but they are for
Microsoft kinda tried to make C "safer" by adding all the crappy *_s() functions to the C standard, like sprintf_s().
Plus there's also the note that this 39% drop is for the overall test group. When they looked at people who have a genetic predisposition, they state that they still saw a reduction... but they don't put a number on it, which leads me to believe that it's not a particularly impressive reduction.
They did put a number on it. Dementia in high risk groups fell from 18 to 11 cases per 1000 people, according to BBC's article.

Well, I'm not the GP but the Victorian mindset has nothing to do with it. For most of human history, your kids were your ticket through old age. Poor countries tend to have higher birth rates. Also in poor countries, infant mortality is greater so parents generate more kids to compensate.
/me thinks that's just a myth, and that the real reason is that people have kids because they get horny and have sex.
Hitler didn't "nationalize industries for the people", did he? In fact, he did the opposite and privatized industries. Check out www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf
Backed up the system lately?
