It is not just 'interesting' it is in fact essential to prevent disaster on the scale of the Second World War or worse. It seems there are people who are intrinsically motivated to hate. These are the ones who are on the far right even in peaceful times. I think they are pretty much the high school bully who never grew up. Then there are those who are uncertain about the future and therefore inciteable to mistrust/hate. Then there are political leaders who estimate the size of both groups and notice that if they add them up and maybe add some violence around the elections in the mix, they might just reach a majority. Actually being interested in how things work is the business of none of the people described here.
I am sad to hear that. I, on the other hand, am capable of distinguishing between people I have disagreements with and people who are far-left or far-right populists.
Abbreviating create as 'creat' is a bit stupid but it is the kind of quirk that makes me feel at home. The opposite can be found here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/weekend-scripter-us... . That is a world where well... I have switched jobs once specifically to get out of that world....
Unconfirmed speculation: The linker at the time ignored letters past the first 6. The compiler prefixed the symbols with '_' to namespace them, to separate user code vs compiler internals. People started writing only the part that mattered. Since either short or long name worked, it wasn't a hard rule that everything had to be shortened, but that still tended to happen. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34814268
Should work fine if the training set is a memory-safe, full-featured, monolithoc, Unix-like operating system kernel originally written by a certain Linus Torvalds.
There is a joke that in a modern factory there is only a man and a dog. The man is only there to feed the dog and the dog is there to guard the equipment and make sure the man does not touch any of it.
Don't forget that, at least in the pascal that was used in my university programming course, all data structures have a fixed size. If you want variable size, you need to allocate them on the heap and free them manually, so it is not clear that this is going to be that much easier than C or C++ in practice. Actually attending the lecture about this I was a bit shocked that it was necessary to free memory manually and I thought to myself 'isn't this going to lead to a lot of trouble'. Turns out my 19-year-old self was right about that.
Sounds very fascist. I suppose it fits with the times.... very bad times ahead not unlikely.... Hopefully the price will be fewer than a billion dead bodies....
Maybe a supremacist mindset is appropriate when the other side has deteriorated into something pretty close to nazism. It is actually not very hard to be better than nazism. Your 'flip around' statement actually makes zero sense and the statement you are responding to is pretty accurate.
In your first comment you seem to think that the BFDL for life is not so good. Now you are saying negative things about committees. So what do you think would actually be a good way to run an open source project?
