ONT in the case of fiber. Don't know if it technically counts as a modem.

That's also a good reason to avoid glibc and switch to a musl-based system.

> But still, let this be a lesson to those who would follow bad leaders to their own demise; or rather, let it be a lesson to their offspring who watch them follow the bad leaders.

a.k.a 90% of the population. At such point, you're just complaining about human stupidity, instead of any specific group. And our children will be just as stupid as us, but their leader will say dumb things about other issues instead of chloroquine.

What language(s) will be available for this one? I'd love to do this in C.

> If a mobile platform could guarantee secure voting, it would revolutionize the process.

They'd have to give each voter some sort of voting device with a screen, buttons and wireless connectivity, and make sure that the voter doesn't lose it so that it can be reused for the next election, or buy these devices each election. Too much trouble.

> Charging 10000 EUR for a 1 EUR part in a breathing device is typical scumbag behavior. Doing that during a pandemic rises to criminal. Suing people who 3D print parts for free is grounds for nationalization.

No, it's grounds for abolition of intellectual property. Don't blame the player for crappy rules.

That makes sense.

And you don't see any problem with extensions being prohibited?

"Github is acquiring npm" then. "NPM is joining Github" sounds like you're just using Github to host your stuff.

"Github acquires npm" would be a better title IMO.

As a 13 year old, I learned to program in Small Basic, a Microsoft educational version of Basic. There was a pdf[1] that explained the basic concepts of programming in 69 pages. I loved it.

I don't think I would've even liked programming had I used Scratch (or Snap) instead of Small Basic. Scratch feels too dumbed-down, limited and clunky.

Maybe Scratch is good enough for 5-9 year olds, but for older kids, I think nowadays Javascript + HTML5 canvas is much better. Javascript lets you see your creation in the browser, which feels like the "real world", because it is. Additionally, it lets you do basically anything you can imagine in a browser. And you code using regular text, which feels much better than colored boxes.

And Small Basic is still better than Scratch I think, even though it seems kind of abandoned by Microsoft.

No. He makes himself understood quite well. It's just that what he says is stupid.

The guy is either a complete idiot [1] or pretends to be one. I wouldn't over-analyze his actions too much.

> "How do you rate your C++ knowledge on a scale of 1..10?" and pretty much invariably get a "8 or 9!"

I'd guess that not even the members of the standard committee really know 90% of C++.

If you know how to ride the wave, you can still make money.

Yeah, but they don't include proprietary Google apps such as Google Play services and all the crap that depends on it. Only open source stuff.

That syntax is freaking ugly. Should've made it more like C and GLSL.

Firefox stopped being a neutral browser long ago. See [1] and [2][3].

Wouldn't that incentivize people to sell before the pause/end of the trading day, creating a snowball effect?

This must have triggered the spike back to $9k.

> Figure I Annual years of life lost from air pollution.

They didn't compensate for population density?

Maybe it's a rearranged version of "Create interfaces, users just love that". i.e.: users just love interfaces, or users just love when you create interfaces for them. If that's the meaning, I think it may be correct, but I'm not sure.

;)

> It seems to me that an enumeration of possibilities might be creative, but there is no way an individual element of that enumeration can be considered creative.

What if the author was thinking about generating a specific, original melody when he hit "run"? He just wanted that melody and didn't care about the rest, but he was lazy and it was easier to find his melody among the rest of generated melodies instead of modifying the source code.

Can you deny that he created that melody?

By that logic, you wouldn't be able to claim copyright on works that are distributed compressed or encrypted.

It would be interesting to study what % of programmers agree with IP laws vs people in other fields.

The argument simply exposes the ridiculousness of the law.

For some reason it complained about GLFW_TRUE not being declared, but I just replaced it in the source code with a literal 1 and then it worked.

Yeah, you're right.

Not technically, but you know what I mean.
