Yeah, the one that begun with bloodbath of the Civil War, purges, forced collectivization, continued through disastrous wars and GULAGs only to die 80 years later with social degeneration of unprecedented levels. That one USSR, yes.

>All numbers are floating point

But why?

No, I don't. If foo is a (storage of) pointer to something, to get that something from memory I use dereference operator `* so

  *foo = 'a';

will write value of 'a' into memory at address that is in foo.

  type* foo;

is declaration and

  *foo

is dereferencing.

I find that

char* foo = NULL;

char bar = 0;

are preferable. Is there any reason one would want to smash N declarations into one?

It was always puzzling to me why people stick to

  char *foo

instead of

  char* foo

foo is obviously a pointer to the char, not a char. It has different size and behavior.

Hm...So, what conditions person needs to satisfy to elevate from ToS violator to fighter against colonial rule? Does 'fighter' status gives free pass on such violations? Are people who pay to keep Wikipedia free in agreement with this? What is digital colonialism? Which problems of it were exposed? Weird article.

In Haskell I use Maybe's, Either's and their ilk (packing result code in returned data I guess?), in C - your usual boolean return values like this: bool parse_literal (ParsingState* state, LiteralValue* pResult).

In Java/C# I have to use what other people are using :)

My dislike of exceptions (as well as errno and Set/GetLastError) is due their masking, hiding error conditions and situations. And I prefer everything to be stated clearly. Including error handling code (answer to 'did I handled all possible failures of calling this?' should be instant).

Unfortunately proper error handling is hard, nearly as much as 'naming things' :)

I think exceptions are very bad idea. Not nearly as bad as implicit nullability but comparable. Hacky emulations of exceptions... Well I don't want to be near such code.

But that was interesting read non the less, thanks OP.

From top of my head.

Fork of Chromium without:

- all Google things

- Non-browser things like accounts and pdf viewers.

With:

- attempt https if protocol is not provided

- blocking all js unless whitelisted

- blocking all requests to 3rd party domains unless whitelisted

- blocking all attempts to hijack right mouse clicks

- blocking all redirect attempts unless whitelisted

- destruction of all cookies/web storage on start/close unless whitelisted

etc.

Well, Resharper is available since VS2003 if not earlier. It has what VS2015 has to offer and more. Including extracting code into methods and classes. I can't even image the pain developing without it (at least before VS 2015).

Whole new level of 'stop liking what I like!'?

Also 'hacker' should have released everything and sent links to the media. That would close the site for sure. And would generate quite a few lawsuits from exposed people. And who knows maybe some more regulations privacy-wise would pop up.

Yet another episode of self-righteous attention seeking.

I would like to chime in and say that if there is story, any story (or even no story) at all - there is manga about it. And interesting thing is, according to https://www.mangaupdates.com/genres.html - there is more series targeted at girls than boys: shoujo - ~17K, shounen - almost 9K. Though it's almost reversed for 18-30 age group: josei - ~7K, seinen - ~12K. In sum female oriented works trump male oriented (24 vs 21).

If only Japanese publishers (or it's laws?) were not so narrow minded and hired fans that translate those mangas to fill something like iTunes/Steam library, any human being of any age and sex would have something to read their whole life.

Seems I phrased my previous comment too vague, sorry for that. I'm aware of what REST stands for. My question is what advantages utilizing "obscure" HTTP verbs and headers with spreading "endpoints" all over ones application provides compared to RPC over HTTP? Surely, using RPC with a single endpoint is much simpler and thus more maintainable/modifiable?
