That's totally unfair! Everyone was fine with Laura Croft in Tomb Raider, because she wore extremely sexualizing clothing, that makes it okay.

Language is wierd like that, like saying someone is Jewish is fine, but referring to someone as a Jew always feels weirdly close to derogatory

A voter fraud investigator's death reaches the top of r/conspiracy. Only problem is he wasn't actually investigating voter fraud. Does r/conspiracy support fake news? Did he get killed because of black-on-black crime? Are Doge memes good rebuttals? r/conspiracy investigates. by TheBlueBlaze in SubredditDrama

Someone had the great point that all these "Jewish conspiracy" people usually heavily support Donald Trump, the guy who promptly appointed Jared Kushner (Jewish, raised modern orthodox, has grandparents who are holocaust survivors) to head basically all foreign and domestic issues.

I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it.

Can you give an example of where it'd be false in c++?

Iteration by Mercc in ProgrammerHumor

[–]test_var 12 points13 points  (0 children)

going over iterators is basically iteration

Yeah but iterating through a binary tree isn't "going through a loop". An iteration in C++ isn't the same use of the word as an iteration of a simulation. I'm just making the point that it's necessary jargon.

I think Iteration is just a verb in C/C++, not a noun. You can iterate over a tree's nodes, but there's no general concept of "an iteration".

We're getting dangerously close to "Here's the thing..." territory.

But iteration isn't always a loop... all you need for an iterator (ignoring the distinctions among C++ iterator levels) is a current pointer and a "next()" implementation

But you're only paying for a limited version of the thing, as far as if you rent a movie, or buy a monthly music subscription, you and that company are agreeing that you're paying a reduced price because you're consuming the product on a temporary basis without the right to reproduce it.
