Very well written with good documentation.

Please find something you love doing and learn more about that instead of picking up random things.

Strength is actually very important if you read Taoist sexual kung fu practices, they even had exercises for tongue strength specifically.
Actually, the weightlifters were better in some regards.
You are expected to deliver tests to Techempower yourself. Optimizing for those tests is part of the game. ;)

Or you can just pick up a second hand AlphaSmart Neo like I did. Weeks of battery life as well.
I wonder how this stacks against Cutelyst in terms of performance.

Overpriced hipsterware from a marketing company.
If you don't abide by the law, you may get sued. If you do abide by the law, you may still get sued. There's no reasoning in there, it's a simple fact.

'My startup may get sued' is not a good argument against a law.

This is blatant fear mongering. Furthermore, calling these directives 'link tax laws' is simply a cheap frame. You can link to articles freely. Including a snippet that has 'no independent economic significance' is allowed. Agreed, that is not very precise. But is that really such a big deal?

Sure, you might get sued. That's life. You have to trust the reasonableness of the courts. And don't worry, they won't go after you. The publishers will go after some big fish such as Telegram (which blatantly copies entire articles and strips it of everything but the article). Case law / Jurisprudence / Jurisprudentie / Fallrecht will develop around this issue and everyone will be happy.

And for some, just including a minimal snippet may not be an option. They'll have to pay. That's also life. Journalists and publishers need to eat too. Their work is too important to be allowed to wither.

I flagged this article is geoblocked in Europe.

This is far from 'all things Matrix' then.

It seems to be targeted at big tech giants specifically. Good luck splitting Alphabet, Facebook and Apple.

They wish.

I wonder if they read the article. It most certainly won't apply to GitHub, and it only mentions content filtering as an example. Until proven otherwise this is simply FUD spreading. Dissapointing.

Re:C++ and the Culture of Complexity (2013) on Wednesday January 31, 2018 @12:13AM (#16271553)
Sure, it's a large and complex language that takes time to master. But I'm interested to hear examples of what you call 'profusion of edge cases'.

> The ratio between what a C++ compiler will accept and what it will produce sane code for is huge.

As is the case for any programming language.

> C++, on the other hand, seems to have been designed by compiler writers for their own enjoyment and/or job security.

C++ is designed by its standards committee... If you know anything about the struggles compiler writers have had with implementing the standard, you'd know the standards committee definitely does not consist of compiler writers! It's really cheap to summarize their efforts as motivated by advancing their own job security if you ask me... I can recommend you to attend a meeting or to read some proceedings to convince yourself otherwise.
