They're sounding more human every day.

Spooky.

I just wish there was a way to filter AI content on YouTube.

So much slop.

Lizard people can't smell flowers and actually prefer bugs to people.

The VAB has it's own weather systems inside, with clouds.

Pretty damn big.

Enema.

No smoking is allowed on the Titan beach.

Same here. I had both hips replaced last year and they get very stiff if I sit for more than 30-45 minutes.

I met Burt Ward at a car show in Memphis in the late 70's.

I am but a wee lad of 62, and we didn't get ABC at the time, so I only saw Batman much later, on afternoon reruns.

And in black and white.

My first real memory of the show was the movie they made in '66.

To clarify, OS X was descended from NeXTSTEP, which was built on Mach and BSD.

We're going to need some primitive projectile weapons.

Communism embraces both.

They're looking in the wrong area.

EVERYONE KNOWS the Russians did it.

You can also specialize C code for architectures, you do not need C++ template metaprograms for this.

Of course, but you end up with code that is a lot more verbose and with more room for errors.

Anyway, a much more interesting particular example imho is using templates for lazy operator evaluation in matrix algebra. It lets you do automatically some loop combining that is absolutely visible speed-wise compared to a normal order-of-operations approach - the fun "oh, C++ can be faster than Fortran at matrix algebra??" surprise. Yeah, you can hand-code something like that in C every time you add some matrices, but ... well, see my previous point. Now if you take this particular example and extend it to general composable operations in arbitrary libraries, you'll see that in fact C++ can be faster than plain C under similar development resource constraints, if you know how to take advantage of the things the compiler will do for you.

Some ISP's will bundle cable along with internet at a lower starting price.
