This is so clear. Their excuses are for the "whole" government, not for what the process is really about. They say "She knew about everything", but they do not have anything else other than that.

They also say that what is in the process is a crime. But she just moved money from one place to another, in order to keep social programs running. Did she delay banks payments for this money? Yes, but also paying all interest rates later on as well. So it is not about getting some illegal loan, it was all about delaying payments. Same acts are and were done by other governments, including state and presidential up to today. Will they also be removed? Sure not.

Unfortunately, the reality is these people want to open up the country to external investments by means of allowing the use of natural resources by international companies. This is what being planned with, for eg., Pre-Salt layer. The new ministries which are going to take over the current ones, in case of victory, were all-in for such a bill just approved in Senate.

They are trading six of one for half a dozen of the other, playing with Constitutional mechanisms which are there to protect the country, not to be used as in a Parliamentarism system. The real problem is in the old thinking people of the lower house and Senate, owners of big amounts of lands, supporters of current great media and stealers. Just look at who started this whole process, a guy accused at the Panama Papers of laundering money in Switzerland. Who is he? The President of the lower house, Eduardo Cunha. The guy who is leading this take over. That's just stupidity to support..
He has been fantastic, not only at stopping goals but in his distribution. Leicester's first goal vs West Ham is a brilliant example of how devastating they can be:

Schmeichel throws it almost to the centre circle to where Mahrez picks it up, takes a couple of touches and feeds it to a sprinting Kante who controls and passes to Vardy. Vardy finishes with a ruthless shot and it's still less than 15 seconds since the ball left Schmeichel's glove.

Open source involvement is overrated. Yes, companies say they value it, but you can't listen to what they say; instead, you must look at what they actually do.

Are candidates with copious open source contributions getting hired primarily because of those contributions, or at the very least being spared the indignity of the white board and trivia questions during interviews? In my experience, no. Interviewers generally don't care, or perhaps their process is too rigid to admit the deviation that caring would require. In fact, when pressed, many will even admit outright that they don't care, claiming (as I've seen here on HN) that they have no way of knowing for certain that you're the true author of your purported contributions or that your contributions alone can't really demonstrate how you write code (like a white board presumably can).

The only reason they value open source contributions is that it amounts to free labor, and it demonstrates "passion"--a quality that they associate with susceptibility to exploitation.

Great point about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's attempt to conquer Korean and China! I guess the legacy of the Edo period was a kind of reset on that ambition, because the country was closed and not looking for a fight. I would say it was actually the failure of the shogunate to stand up to Commodore Perry that ended Edo and kicked off the outward-looking Meiji.

I'm no expert in this area, but I enjoy learning about it.

A little crunch is harmful too, just less harmful.

Crunch is rarely a necessity. If the deadline can't be moved, and you're going to miss it, work on cutting the workload (drop features, etc...). If the project can't have any corners cut, then move the deadline. If neither of these is an option, then do what you have to do and find new managers for the next project, because they should've been more on the ball and planned for potential slippage by giving a time buffer to avoid crunch.

As I understand it, WebKit's feature flags will not include the webkit prefix:

"WebKit’s new policy is to implement experimental features unprefixed"

But Mozilla still plans for experimental features to be prefixed:

"Mozilla supports a number of extensions to CSS that are prefixed with -moz-.

Some of these properties have been included in draft CSS specification for inclusion in the final recommendation, but are still experimental... Once standardized, and the support for the un-prefixed variant added, the prefixed properties are dropped."
They have the perfect solution available already, they could make it stop on a hard press.

It's been several years since I moved to a touchscreen phone, and I still hate them for the "making calls and answering" workflow - I used to be able to make calls and answer without having to physically look at the phone - the StarTac's flick to open would be a good example of that.

Of course, touchscreen phones make great computing devices, which makes their inadequacy as phones irrelevant.
Nintendo is looking pretty bad right now. They've abandoned or neglected a lot of their core franchises, made a strange first push into the mobile space and are way too tight lipped about their future plans.

I thought it was the nature of business to sell at higher prices than you buy.

Feel free to moralise but try to live up to it yourself: Don't buy anything produced in parts of the world where people make less than you. Buying employees or services or products are the same, you know.

With virtually zero percent unemployment for developers in Sofia, need for programmers everywhere in Europe, no visa-requirement preventing anyone from leaving Bulgaria, and some 10-15 percent of the population already having left, I think it's fair to assume that nobody is getting ripped off.

I've said this before but I think it's because my socks are most definitely still on my feet, and have been for the last several years. Apple used to come up with new, distinctive, products that had me gasping for air and figuratively knocking my socks off. Not anymore. I don't want to say it's because of the loss of Jobs but it sure seems that way. I really like Tim but he seems like a production guy instead of a product guy.

Come on Apple, where are the revolutionary products of yesteryear? 3D displays? AR/VR technology? Home automation? iPod headphones? Voice recognition (ala Alexa)? I used to look to Apple for a glimpse of the future; not anymore. :(
Same procedure as every year: Only programs that don't conform to the C/C++ standard.

Not counting true compiler bugs of course.

Edit: The release notes at https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/changes.html mention three programs that apparently will break:

Value range propagation now assumes that the this pointer of C++ member functions is non-null. This eliminates common null pointer checks but also breaks some non-conforming code-bases (such as Qt-5, Chromium, KDevelop)

Hermetic is amusing. Hask is very like what I'm aiming towards, not PLZoo. I'm starting with a PEG library (https://kschiess.github.io/parslet/) and working my way up. I'd prefer to start with a GLL parser which could handle mildly context-sensitive grammars and work my way up but I think creating a PEG version as a proof of concept is the way to go first.

Thanks for the book reference!
Yeah, naively the answer seems like "more shielding, Mr. Scott."
Still:

The sea is a notoriously hostile environment for great apes such as us.

The sky is notoriously unattainable (we fly since, what, 2 centuries?)

Everywhere else, Blue is pretty uncommon On average, the wilderness is mostly shades of brown and green. And what is blue tend to be pretty intense: flowers and venomous animals, mostly.

That said, I've read around here that colours are mostly a cultural thing (except maybe red). So I'd wouldn't put too much into it. The interesting parts come later in the article anyway: how UI design could take inspiration from sci-fi, including its mistakes.
In this case, it's not actually that much of a bug: the segfault is entirely controlled. Threads' stacks are allocated with a guard page at the end that is marked as inaccessible (at the OS level), so any access---read or write---will make the OS kill the process, via a segfault.

This particular type of segfault differs to typical segfaults in other languages because it is guaranteed to happen and guaranteed to be a segfault/kill the program. Segfaults in C code often hint at more serious bugs (e.g. use after free) that can be exploited for remote code execution etc.

The bug is that the stack overflow detection isn't perfect: if writes to particularly large stack frames happen in just the wrong way, then a program can write beyond the guard page instead of being killed. This is obviously unfortunate, and the fix is ensuring LLVM has support for stack problems on all platforms (it currently has them on Windows).
I think this type of thinking is cynical and unhelpful. We complain that compiler technology is not keeping pace, then when they put in god knows how many hundreds of hours of work improving, we complain when we might have to spend a few to go back through our programs and make sure everything's okay. We want everyone else to do the work for us.

Honest question, in production, is this sort of a thing pretty much a non-issue?

Edit: Sorry, to be clearer, I meant to ask, effect of stuff like changing defaults between different versions. Perhaps, it is a non-issue because most production code is (/maybe) version locked.

Also, a little vague, but out of curiosity, how often do C / C++ shops upgrade to the latest and greatest?
If this is a known issue then why doesn't he take steps to combat it. He could refrain from stocking up on inventory prior to the end of a tax period for a start. Sure keep stock on hand but don't get a years worth of stock sitting in warehouse if you are going to get a tax bill because of it.

I also feel it is a bit disingenuous, he wasn't overtaxed, he paid the correct amount of tax, however this financial year he will have the sales of the goods that he already paid tax on, so proportionally next years tax bill will be less.

Also he says he could have hired 3 qualified employees. How did they get qualified? Well they probably paid through the nose for a college education in the US, but to prepare them for that I imagine they attended a state funded education system first.

Its easy to blame IRS/tax but taxation is not the problem and the article even comes close to the actual problem and that is how the government spends tax revenue. And that is something much harder to argue against.

That is just the lie that she and her party are saying to justify. What put social programs in danger was the incompetency of her government in economy.

No, it was about fiscal fraud. There is law against it.

YES, Cunha is a thieve and a corrupt. But he was was not the sole responsible for the impeachment, 367 lower house members vote for the impeachment. Senate will vote for it too. And the supreme court is overviewing the whole process. So why don't stop this BS about the whole process being invalid because of cunha.
I have no stats to back this up but I too believe blue hues are extremely rare in nature compared to red, yellow, and green. Someone below cited fruits (which I can think of one that is blue), people eyes (one species, and usually only a tiny subset of that species), and some flowers. Other than that, truly, what other common natural blue do you see excluding water and sky?

I personally don't care about the tracking, since I don't use homebrew, but corporate f-you non-apologies annoy me. No one is complaining about "poor communication;" they're complaining about a feature they dislike.

Duke Nukem wasn't a case of crunch though, it was a case of severe mismanagement and lack of any real direction. Crunch would not have saved it. The vast majority of titles given a delay of two weeks or even a month or two in extreme cases would not undermine sales.

At least with the C standard, it's theoretically possible to learn it. I'd challenge you to find one person in your company who fully understands the C++ standard.
Actually, no. That's not true at all. Crashes were as rare as today if you chose the right programs and were properly conservative with what you installed. I suffered very few crashes even with Windows 3. I won't say Windows 95 was rock solid, but I didn't see the infamous BSoD more than a couple of times a year... and I was a heavy user!!

Do you know what was different? A lot of people had very poor judgement about what to install and what to trust. Also faulty drivers, but this still happens today! No further than last night this very computer reset when starting Firefox :-/

I'm very surprised to see this revisionist version of computer history. I can't help thinking that there's some vested interest in this criticism. At the time it was some sort of fad among Linux fans against Windows dominance. I also liked Linux, but it was very annoying to see this kind of (reverse!) FUD.

Now it seems like it's some other "interest group" that's spreading it. Depressing.
Great quote. I had never read that one. The irony of language wars about the monolith that is C vs. the many higher-level languages that allow a human to code according to his mental abstractions and cognitive ability, rather than memorizing machine-specific, or os-specific facts that don't translate over to newer machine architectures. All this on HN, running on a Lisp, Arc, that once sat upon an academic scheme now called Racket.

I agree C is necessary for low-level programming, but for the meat of all the other applications and usages, higher-level languages are needed. I don't mind programming certain things in C, but I thoroughly enjoy the mental exercise when programming in the J programming language, Lisp, or Forth. Yes, Forth. C programmers can have the Earth; I would like to be coding with the fellas who design mission-critical software for satellites like Rosetta, and groups like NASA and the ESA, using Forth in Rosetta's case [1].

Many ancient cultures had the same word for blue and green because they are actually pretty close together from a wavelength perspective. A conjecture is that people started to have a word for the color blue, in addition to green, when blue pigment was discovered and started to be used more regularly.
Both of those can be codified as "blame the person who's one step away from the scammer", though.
Actually, Apple's pattern is to be late to market. They let other companies feel out the market, inform the consumers, work with pricing, etc. and then they come in with a great product and dominate the domain completely. Apple does this over and over again. Computers, MP3 players, cell phones, etc.

I don't understand the question. Is there a difference between C++14 and C++98? Yes. Are there important features in C++14 that aren't in C++98? Yes. Is there existing code that builds fine under C++98 and will break when compiled under C++14? Almost certainly yes as well.
They're still claiming top management was unaware according to the NYT article, which seems a little improbable.
Wheat Blast specifically.

I always worry about our monocultures because of things like (from the article): 15k hectares destroyed to try and contain the outbreak, and some sources claim that "Yield loss to this disease can be greater than 75% in severely affected fields."[0] which seems to me that if this spreads across Asia this could be a big problem.

Moto G still doesn't support 5 GHz wifi bands, though. Can be a bummer sometimes.
That's quite possibly true now, though I'd argue that is largely because game publishers killed the goose that laid the golden egg by shipping tons of totally broken games and ruining the idea of pre-ordering. Likewise I think that process could be reversed by showing fans that the company brass actually gives a damn about their product enough to delay it when it needs more time.

Nintendo is a fantastic example of this, I would say this happens to a good chunk of their titles, Zelda especially. Yes it's always a bummer, but Nintendo also hasn't had an Arkham City or a Division where the game comes out half finished, full of bugs, with the promise of "we'll patch it later."
