By definition, what things sell for now is what they are worth now.

Why don't you go to the next board meeting of a typical publicly traded company, offer to buy them out by giving them its liquidation value in cash, and see what happens.

Obama love him or hate him is very popular.

People would live a return to the good old days. High grocery prices and rent is how Trump won. Plain and simple due to inflation Trump caused that Biden got the blame due to tarp payments and 0% interest rates and artificial scarcity all thrown in together.

I am not saying he should and 1/3 of America is hard core far right wing Maga and would go ballistic but they are not the majority

This is insanity. CNN and NBC are the only independent news networks left not owned by Murdoc and the Nationalists!

Masturbating Monkey

First off Snap launches applications 300% to 400% slower and make a new system feel like one from 2016 because of the overhead (there are videos of launching stuff like gedit taking several seconds vs instant on arch).

Second all or I should say most of the Gnutils are being replaced by Rust varients. They are much slower and more buggy as they have not been tested than the ones written in C. Sudo is really SudoRs. My speed compliant could be outdated as this might have been fixed.

Wayland is going to be hell with nvidia users as the driver is not fully Wayland compatible yet as features are missing in display settings. The list goes on ...

I know people were rewritting Gnu utils in Rust as a cool acedemic and learning excersize but people use thse in the real world. There is no reason to change them. Especially if you do not know the algorithms of all the academic contributers. Example in Sed if you do not know how to do efficient search algorithms it will perform like crapy.

I loved Linux and Ubuntyu 20 years ago in 2005. It was the first stable distro with a great desktop. Gnome shell then Gnome 3 ruined it as it is a cell phone on a screen.

Competition?

The headline should read "Microsoft to replace one TSMC chip with different TSMC chip."

I assumed that they're dividing the entire cost of creating, testing, packaging and delivering updates by the number of GB distributed. ISP fees would be a tiny fraction of that.

Why would anyone calculate such a silly metric in the first place? It sounds to me like the kind of thing an accountant would think up.

Maybe they're using IPv6, where the MAC address can become part of the IP address.

I can't wait to see all of the thoughtfully planned, rigorously tested and highly secure applications that will be put into service using this capability.

Indeed, No True Scotsman would use STL with C++.

The last job I had where I had to use C/C++, we automatically ran an expensive static analysis tool every time we checked in code. I'd estimate that it only found about half of the potential segfaults, and it made up for that by finding twice as many false positives.

Nope. If I had used st::list instead of std::vector, it would have been perfectly fine and officially supported. (Assuming I changed "i+10" to "i+11" in order to make the algorithm actually terminate, although that change wouldn't affect the vector crash.).

The problem is that there are dozens of different rules you have to remember to apply to the different types of lists and iterators. And that's only talking about that one topic. There are hundreds of other rules covering a multitude of language aspects that you have to mentally apply against every single line of code you write, many of which can potentially cause memory corruption.

That is a dangerous misconception. You don't need to use any pointers to get memory errors in C++:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <vector>
 
int main() {
    std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
    for (auto i : v) {
        if (i % 2 == 0) {
            v.push_back(i + 10);
        }
        printf("%d\n", i);
    }
 
    return 0;
}
 
$ g++ -Wall -pedantic t.cpp

Are you seriously trying to suggest that never allocating memory is not also a "straight jacket"?

You seem to be saying that a currently existing bowdlerized version C++ is safe for close-world problems. Possibly so, but that still leaves C++ unsuitable for open-world problems. That makes C++ only suitable for niche applications. Why learn it?

If you just use Rust or any other memory safe language, you won't have to worry about what kind of "world" you're writing for, or about choosing from a range of increasingly dangerous "profiles".

Sadly the teacher is correct unless you plan to give your son a great inheritence he will need to purchase cars, rent places, and even buy a home some day.

Lenders need to know who they are doing business with before they lend out the money and take a risk.

Yes, this country has terrible credit problems with tiktokkers saying they are planning to get pregant so they can qualify for the payment for a car and other stupid stuff (yes this was on facebook for a girl entitled for a Mercedes making 30k a year at probably Walmanrt). They are addicting too as a simple swipe and bam instant free stuff etc.

But responsibly they are life saver and a bank has no idea with a character underwrite these days if they are going to get paid back? 70 years ago when people lived in the same town and knew the banker personally it was a different story and time.
