I must say that because of Blizzard actions there was x50 more coverage for the people of HK, so in some strange way, I'm glad they did it

The Streisand effect strikes again!

It's the other way round: Blizzard got huge coverage because it was related to Hongkong.

I wonder which game is more complex, start-craft or DOTA

The complexity of DOTA comes, in large part, to teamwork.

A case about whether Exxon committed fraud by misleading investors about climate change will decide the fate of the human race?

That's why we should sue people who are responsible, not the company. If your are criminal, start a company, so they can not sue you, only the company. #protip

Nope, actions of from my grandparents have already, and most of the people in charge Senate and president are over retirement age.

Prepare for the worst, as its baked in. These people aren't letting go so expect little to no mitigation in the next decade.

Is this a parody or something?

I hope not, that one sad way to decide it.

I highly doubt that.

I really used to be the biggest Netflix fan but their OC is really lacking. And they do very little OC action outside their cartoons.

Really glad I bought in early on Disney+ and they are building something so big at a cheaper price point.

Even before this report I was excited by the whole network, and really excited for their OC.

That's the first time I've seen your website. I didn't read the entire pwnagotchi article yet but it looks great! Keep up the good work, projects like these really motivate me to get into IT

Well it's good that he answers C++ stuff, a bit like Walter Bright here (or wherever) answers questions related to D - but the more important question is this:

In the face of more competition, e. g. python, Rust, Go etc.., what is the future of/for C++?

Stroustrup is the beloved creator of C++, but C++ is decidedly not governed by a benevolent dictator; a very large and active Committee guides its future: https://isocpp.org/std/the-committee

I have to say that I have a lot of respect for the man.

Many project leaders/creators position themselve "authoritative god" on their project, and finished often disconnected from their community taking arbitrary wrong decisions.

Bjarne has been smarter than that, giving the community (a very diversified community ) the opportunity to drive the language together.

And it worked, C++ survived 40 years, stronger than ever, evolving from a primitive "C with class" to a modern language present in almost every electronic device nowadays.

It might not be "perfect", "pure", but it does not matter. It fucking work... and evolve in the right direction... That's the C++ way.

In addition to benefiting from many smart people at the helm, instead of just one, it also benefits from having no real single points of failure. It has a multitude of cooperative leaders, support from many large and even small corporations, and many implementations as well as its formal Standard (which after the long wait for C++0x, has had a number of good, well-adopted updates).

All things considered the committee did quite well, but sometimes I think that Bjatne might have abdicated his position too early and the language might have benefited of a strongly opinionated dictator with veto powers for a while longer.

The future looks great, the language is improving and makes it easier and easier to write safe, and fast code with improved readability.

tl;dr

"FreeCodeCamp is currently building an Open Source alternative to Meetup.com. They are looking for contributors, head to this Discord channel to get involved!"

Anyhow

I'm using meetup for a while

Been extremely useful (especially when i lived abroad. It's a great way to meet some new friends with similar hobbies.

"Government violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and harasses seniors for debts that are outside the statute of limitations" FTFY

Sounds like the government is exempt so they're not violating the letter of the law but certainly are violating the spirit of the law.

The law prohibits aggressively collecting expired debts. Government debts don't expire. I'd say that's still within the spirit.

As the article mentions, there probably aren't a lot of instances of this, given that software exploits are often easier to implement. And once discovered, can be re-used hundreds of not millions of times very easily.

That said if someone is interested in a specific target or small set of targets, this is a really stealthy way of compromising a system. I would be shocked if every major international spy agency hasn't at least tried this.

They do it on the reg, already known long before the Bloomberg article

From my personal experience, it's hard because of all the hormones.

Also the prefrontal cortex is not yet developed enough to keep the hormones in check.

(for those that don't know, the prefrontal cortex is one of the centers of the brain. It's responsible for 'planning'. Think about the last middle schooler you saw that had a cunning plan and I'm sure you'll agree their brain wasn't fully formed either.)
