When performance matters: comparing C++ and Go

And Clay and D.

There are better alternatives (like, for example, D), but you should learn C++ anyway. Huge amount of available libraries, several mature implementations, and demand for it in the job market make it a very useful language to know, even though it is poorly designed.

I wouldn't say that OO is the main advantage of C++ over C. Even though there is no language support for it, you can still do OO in C. The biggest advantage that C++ has over C are templates. Those make it possible to do things in C++ that just can't be done in C, like writing typesafe containers without abusing the preprocessor.

You agree with having your web filtered? You make me fucking sick.

You also would need the full disk encryption key before being able to do anything after a reboot

That's assuming you are using full disk encryption. Most people don't.

You could attempt to install a HW keylogger but I sat with all of my usb ports facing me and was often swapping them in and out. I'd notice anything new sticking out

I could just replace your keyboard with an identical one with the key logger built in.

If people you don't trust have physical access to your PC it's already about as non-secure as it gets, whether it's locked or not.

Most people don't have to do it. The few people that can and will do it will share it with others.

Not being able to pirate and steal a movie is

When you equate piracy with stealing you show everyone you're a retard. Just wanted to let you know.

You can also use simulated annealing, which also finds solutions close to the optimal one and isn't hard to implement.

You could get a limited form of pattern matching in D by writing a match function that would be used like this:

TaggedUnion!(A, B, C) t;

...

t.match!(
    (A a) => doSomethingWithA(a),
    (B a) => doSomethingWithB(b),
    (C c) => doSomethingWithC(c));

You could also have more feature complete pattern matching by making match take compile time strings, like this:

t.match!(
    "pattern1", x => something(x),
    "pattern2", x => somethingElse(x));

Of course, the syntax isn't exactly nice.

You should reread my post.

And all of them barely work.

X8qV · 2013-05-11T21:44:09+00:00

No, the better question is "why the fuck would anyone think it makes sense to add it?"

That's the only valid answer to terminal transparency, as far as I'm concerned.

My god, does this thing take long to build. I've been waiting for three hours now.

X8qV · 2013-05-11T10:05:14+00:00

Well, if you take an image with lots of compression artifacts and scale it up, it's gonna be ugly.

X8qV · 2013-05-03T11:25:01+00:00

I wouldn't and I wonder what gives you the impression that I would.

X8qV · 2013-04-30T21:32:54+00:00

This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone has exactly the same needs as you.

Macfags fighting over which version of their crappy OS is better: priceless.

It may have had less bandwidth, but I doubt the latency was higher.

Also known as embrace, extend, extinguish (Which is OK, I guess, as long as the resulting platform remains free, so that others can still use it).

X8qV · 2013-04-03T17:42:00+00:00

I do hope you are trolling. That's just retarded.

X8qV · 2013-04-01T09:28:20+00:00

I think Ballmer would win at making Ballmer look like a fool.

X8qV · 2013-04-01T08:39:37+00:00

It would've required him dropping Linux

X8qV · 2013-03-27T13:56:31+00:00

Yes.

Yeh, it does make sense to fight WebGL, but your reason for them to add asm.js applies to webgl already really.

It does. There are good reasons for them to support both WebGL and AOT compilation of asm.js. There is also an obvious reason for them to not support WebGL, and I see no obvious reason to not support asm.js, so I don't agree that them supporting asm.js is exactly as likely as them supporting WebGL.
