Fair enough. I wouldn't go down this route with something like POSIX_ME_HARDER, because that's a matter of "my design decision is better than your design decision"; but I don't feel that there's any need to be neutral when it comes to things like compilers emitting incorrect code.

My concern is how little this prepares people for life in the real world. How well prepared will those students be when they enter a workplace for the first time and have to handle disagreements?

EDIT: deleted "bigger". It's a concern, not a bigger concern.
I guess it's because this kind of backup doesn't mitigate an ongoing compromise of your machine (much like what the GP talked about). I don't think any backup can protect for that. However a good backup limits the damage to the timeframe of the machine being compromised (if your machine is compromised for 1 day you might only lose that day's new data).

That link included some interesting context for the complaint against her. She was speaking out against boycotting Israel because it might encourage anti-Semitism. The complaint against her was made immediately after that. In contrast when she was later defending Jewish students, there were all sorts of hand/head movements around the room, yet no complaints.

Of all the things in C that cause problems and that could be fixed by waving a magic wand, the author chose "curly braces"?! That betrays an immense lack of imagination! Worse, it shows that the author isn't even aware of the actual causes of lost productivity and bugs in C programs.

What about buffer overflows (it happens to the best of us)? Mounds of undefined behavior exploited by optimizing compilers (even in seemingly correct code)? A type system that is strict enough to get in one's way, but not strict/powerful enough for strong guarantees?

Some years ago I read a post on a forum for electronics/embedded programming, which basically said "The system of C header files is actually very good, because without it you would have to manually declare all functions you use." This article reminded me of that.
> Julie Bindel speak there because of her successful campaign to deny trans women access to rape and domestic violence services.

[...]

> just like they never covered the very special exemption added to UK anti-discrimination law to allow this and how exactly it got there,

Rape and domestic violence centres have always been given exclusions in discrimination law, from the 1970s sex discrimination act through all the statutory instruments and duties (eg Gender Equality Duty). But that's not a blanket right to exclude trans-people - a SARC can not just say "no trans people". The exclusion has to be a proportionate response to achieve something reasonable.

The Code of Practice for the act is very clear:

>> “Service providers should be aware that where a transsexual person is visually and for all practical purposes indistinguishable from a non-transsexual person of that gender, they should normally be treated according to their acquired gender, unless there are strong reasons to the contrary.

>> As stated at the beginning of this chapter, any exception to the prohibition of discrimination must be applied as restrictively as possible and the denial of a service to a transsexual person should only occur in exceptional circumstances.”

But most SARCs do not exclude men or transpeople, many on this list specifically mention that men can be the victims of rape and sexual assault and that men are able to use the services.

http://thesurvivorstrust.org/sarc/

The real problem is the tiny number of SARCs available - if more were available some could specialise on services for transpeople, on services for men, and services for women.

Safe spaces should be handled the same way as religion. If you provide safe space, you should provide it for EVERY trigger. That would practically eliminate it.

A few examples:

Many of my relatives died because of marxism. My grandfather was in jail, because he was capitalist and employed 5 people. I can not be around people who approve any form of class warfare or class privilege. And I find cultural marxism triggering!

My ancestors were slaves. In fact even word "slavery" is named after "slavic" people. By using that word, you are condoning slavic people to be slaves and that is TRIGGERING ME!
Fry is a pretentious ass and there's no denying it. Beyond that which you mentioned, there is also the fact that he is essentially a charlatan who has made a career out of appearing to be an intellectual. He seems to suffer from the same special-snowflake syndrome mentioned in some of the other comments.

All of this sjw/triggering stuff is nonsensical and baffling, but it is also baffling that we live in a society where attacks on a person's character and history somehow influence the validity of what that person says. Anyone has the capacity to say something that is true. If a murderer stated that the Moon orbits the Earth, you would have a hard time convincing rational people not to listen just because he was an immoral person.

Ultimately, it is fallacious to disagree with someone just because you don't like them or because they are hypocrites. Hypocrisy doesn't make a statement or set of statements true or false.

Attacking a person's character or history instead of attacking their argument represents an act of dissociation or insansity, either of which would equal triggering in the magnitude of its infantile absurdity.

This syntax comes close to Nim.

I am using Nim for years now, and it is much more convenient than C while retaining the same performance. C functions can be imported and used seemlessly. Nim offers several optional garbage collectors which can be turned off for embedded systems. Nim has a package manager (Babel), and Nim's macros which are powerful like Lisp macros (way ahead of C++ macros) make it possible to create special DSLs for test cases and webservers, or to use Perl's awesome regular expressions with native Perl syntax.

Hosting on anything/anywhere really. Even if one builds clusters with true 100% reliability running on nuclear power buried 100 feet underground, you still have to talk to the rest of the world through a network which can fall apart for variety of reasons. If most of your users are on their mobile phones, they might not even notice outages.

At some point adding an extra 9 to the service availability can no longer be justified for the associated cost.
You've made this claim before. It's so extraordinary that either we all would have learned it in school or Nature would have published it and in addition it would have been in all the major media.

Claiming that blacks are a different species, not even a different race, is some next level Hitler / KKK / etc. shit.

But basically, I just think you don't know what you're talking about. For example, I just typed "species" into my search box and Google handily provided the following from Wikipedia:

> A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction.

Go try and fix Wikipedia if you wish to spread nonsense.
It's the Guardian. You can't separate their financing from their politics because their financial setup was done specifically to allow them to lose money by running a newsroom far larger than their readership would normally allow.

The Guardian has not advocated for stricter government policies: they can't because they can't even define tax avoidance, let alone formulate a solution. Instead they've engaged in moral crusades in various attempts to shame companies into paying more tax than they actually have to, whilst simultaneously refusing to do so themselves.

That is, I believe, general hypocrisy.

There are a million problem with C that come before curly braces. So many of the people that venerate C either live in a reality distortion bubble or don't actually writing C.
I've always found C a disaster for generating good assembly.

to start:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/C-Extensions.ht...

we see that bare C has:

- no vectorization/SIMD support

- no hinting at likely branches

- no way to prefetch memory

- no way to block inlining

- no actual inlining!

whoever decided that the compiler should be allowed to ignore the 'inline' keyword ....

additional issues off the top of my head:

- const != immutable so 'const' is relegated to being a keyword for generating compiler warning

- RVO is implicit.. so just pray it happens!

The language is frankly just too old. Half of those features probably just simply didn't exist in hardware when the language was designed

I'm desperate for a better language

Yeah, we're both in so many Facebook groups our newsfeeds are purely streetwear posts! As you say, the challenge comes when we want to get people onboard. The great thing is that these WTB posts already exist within the groups so I'm sure we can find a way of getting these on our platform in the beginning so we at least have the supply side of things covered. Yeah you're right, raffling a pair of Yeezy's would get everyone and their mum to download the app - something we'll look at down the line for sure.

I hear what you're saying about the website and we are looking to get something decent up before too long, however from talking to members, a growing number of people are using the Facebook Groups app to get their 'fix' of streetwear throughout the day, so an app would seem like the natural progression there. I do understand what you're saying and we'll certainly look into the desktop presence asap.

Great stuff, thanks again - I'll ping you an invite to test the app so far if you're interested?
True, but shows there are still opportunities - even with a google.

Free speech law operates on a complete different level than safe spaces. Law has careful designed constraints, while the definition of safe spaces is what ever anyone feel should be restricted in their social environment.

Commonly, free speech is limited where someone is encouraging violence against a person or group (hate speech), or when there is measurable harm done to a person (defamation). Being triggered because someone voice a different view about a political subject is neither hate speech or defamation, but it is something which "safe spaces" has recently been made to restrict.
Should they be made to be forced to platform someone or be forced to invite someone they don't actually welcome?
I'm very lazy and didn't bother. :) Given Anker's reputation, I would be surprised if they wouldn't have replaced them. (In fact I haven't bought new cables either - just been making do with the few cables I have which has been a bit of a pain.)

I just want cables without the hassle of going through warranty and RMA processes. It's possible I just got a bad batch - I can't believe people would be as positive about Anker if my experience was that common - but it did sour me on them. I just want to find a manufacturer where in my experience, the cables I buy are good 100% of the time and last for at least a year so I can buy them in bulk and recommend them to others with confidence. And I haven't found that.
You cannot evaluate the "correctness" of arguments about many things in the political space. Bob says that the country would be better if taxes were raised on the rich and spent on the poor. Charlie says that this would make the country worse and a better approach is to focus on educational attainment. Who is right? How do you arrive at a situation where both Bob and Charlie agree with each other?

Experience tells us that this isn't possible. They're probably arguing from different assumptions, they very likely have different ideas about what "better" means, and even if they could agree on those things, which path would actually yield better results is impossible to simulate or predict accurately.

That doesn't mean Bob or Charlie have discarded rationality, it just means that pure application of logic cannot solve most of the problems on which politics dwells.

When you say "attach the Guardian's arguments" after I just said that their arguments are vague and emotional, you're requesting something that won't go anywhere. The Guardian argues that companies should feel a moral obligation to pay more tax. At the same time, they don't appear to feel that obligation themselves. That's a fundamental inconsistency that invalidates their own "argument" (using the term loosely). There's nothing to refute: they did it themselves.
It was always an asset sale play.
Except they won't care about your triggers. SJWs / feminists have very specific agendas, and anything that gets in their way is immediately labeled as racist / misogynist, and they accuse you of hating women, they try to get yoi fired, etc. I went through that.

There's a lot to unpack in this phenomenon. The most interesting question is - why now?

I think that safe spaces / micro-aggressions may come from the perfect storm of a) a generation that was conceived after a period of widespread crime and social uncertainty, leading parents to coddle them and try to protect them from the world [see 'helicopter' parenting'], b) the self-esteem movement [everyone wins prize], and c) increasingly feminized primary and secondary education. The number of male teachers has dwindled rapidly over the decades.

I don't want to appeal to gender stereotypes but I remember seeing some research that indicated that while boys in a playground situation were more physically aggressive and directly confrontational during disagreements with each other, girls tended to have higher incidence of shunning and social exclusion - emotional/relational aggression.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised to see safe spaces / micro-aggressions as a strategy to shut down unpleasant situations (ideas) rather than confronting them as ideas. These strategies are essentially forms of shunning and avoidance.

Regardless of how one feels about the veracity of these gender stereotypes and how they apply to the sexes, the strategies are real and they are a significant difference from what we've historically had as cultural values in the US and UK: "we're all strong enough for dissent, it's about more than our feelings."
It doesn't help that Google and Facebook figured out how to make those business models insanely profitable on the Internet.
You may be speaking across purposes, just because "thesis proposal" means different things in different places. In some institutions, it's a proposal for a whole thesis project, from experiment design through conducting experiments to drawing conclusions and writing up. In other institutions/countries, it's done as the project is drawing to a close, with experiments completed and data gathered: the candidate then proposes the thesis that this data supports, which they will write up and defend. The latter is more of a formality, because it happens at a different step in the process. The point where innovation and ambition incur risk has mostly passed by then.

It's not a result of coddling (or only a bit).

Certain groups realized they could gain power by being offended. Once you create that incentive, unchecked, it's game over.
So, you are agains people having some savings and less junk that does not make them happier? You do realise that much of advertising is geared towards getting you to do that impulse purchase that you later regret?

There are studies showing that people don't use their garages to park their cars, because they are full of stuff.

Ads constantly remind me that the newer model of the blender that I have will make me sooo much cooler (blender is just an example). But the last year's blender that I have works perfectly well. Why should I like the fact that the website tells me that I'm old and boring because I don't have a perfect body and I have last year's blender model?
I think the system needs some serious changes. However, the core idea that everyone pays a small fee for some basic media looks good to me.

I have always wondered if that line of attack was actually anti-semetic (Milliband's dad was a Belgian-born Polish Jewish). The UK is a place where people are mostly too insensitive to notice actual prejudice. Bad behaviour is so competely pathalogical and institutional that no one really believes it exists beyond fringe weirdos.
That could be it. Maybe also deaths per year (the Chinese Cival War took a longer time), or a combination. Statistics, damn lies, etcetera.
There are a few interesting statistics that may or may not be relevant. I'll try to make a case that they are.

First, we live in one of the safest times in human history. The number of wars is at an all-time low.

Second, over the last couple of decades, a couple of billion people have seen their standard of living rise due to trade and commerce.

Third, the internet and social media is isolating people much more than they ever have been. Growing up in the upper-middle-class in the U.S., if your people don't like what some other people are saying? They're basically invisible.

Finally, colleges have lost their way. What used to be about preparing folks for a career is now a club for making friends of the right type. They used to be responsible to parents and society. Now in many cases they are direct service organizations for kids seeking a "college experience"

You put all of this together and you create a bunch of 18-year-olds that can be as closed-minded as many 80-year-olds. After all, they've never really had their beliefs challenged. And why should they start now?

There's a re-factoring of higher education that has to happen regardless of this particular issue, and it can happen none-too-soon. But parents of teenage kids should feel responsible too. It's your job as a parent not only to teach values, but to let your child explore new ideas and learn to defend their opinions using logic and civility. If you're 10 and refuse to talk because your feelings are hurt, that's one thing. But if you're 18? You missed something really important somewhere in your upbringing.

ADD: I am reminded that of one of the last big pushes for civic education and critical thinking was in the 1950s. This is when the famous "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the U.S. (If you don't know why this is important, consider yourself lucky.) During the Korean War, when the communists captured soldiers, many times they didn't torture them. Instead, they "educated" them.

It suddenly occurred to a lot of people that if you're 18 and can't articulate why your opinions are important -- and defend them -- then you're vulnerable to just about any new idea that comes along. That's the real travesty here. When I hear about kids not wanting to hear ugly or challenging ideas, my first thought is how totally vulnerable these folks are to just a little bit of indoctrination. To be that way and attending a major university? It's a travesty.

If this is the quality of their experience, they shouldn't worry about repaying their loan. The colleges should be refunding the money back to the lenders.
It has a "command" view which executes a debugger command and displays the output each time the debugger "stops" (ie. whenever you step over an instruction or a line of code, or hit a breakpoint, etc). So anything you can do with a debugger command, you can stick in a view.
