@retoor Or take polymorphism with strings:

void foo(const std::string &name);

void foo (int i);

...

foo("Hello world!");

Wanna guess which overload is called?

Of course its the int, because it is easier to convert a const char * to int than to std::string

@retoor It is attempting to combine expressivity, performance, and downward compatibility. This is a worthy goal in principle, but since compatiblity is a must and performance its main selling point, the expressivity suffers and suffers greatly.

Take the rvalue reference args for instance:

void foo(A &&v); //Matches only rvalues

template<typename T>

void foo (A<T> &&v); // Matches only rvalues

template<typename T>

void foo (T &&v);

// Matches fucking anything from values, through pointers to Bjarne Stroustrup's balls.

@Lensflare Made me laugh out loud :)

@Alice OMG I'd love to see a TÜV certification for programming languages. Germans, please make that happen!

@nitwhiz I started these repos ages ago and back then it was suggested to me. Haven't spent too much thought on it, really. I realize I have to convert them all to SSH as @lungdart also suggested.

Note to myself: If you accidentally reference the CMakeLists.txt file itself instead of the containing folder, the containing folder will be the build folder no matter how hard you try to convince cmake otherwise.

This makes absolutely no sense, but I guess that means it is my own fault?

@Ranchonyx Alle Geschichte wiederholt sich einmal als Tragödie, einmal als Farce, oder?

@atheist IT _I_G_N_O_R_E_S_ THAT FLAG!

Can you believe this?

I hate this program like nothing else in the world!

@DarkSwan Totally. Luckily, he kind of understood what had happened. He was putting his whole life into his little company, but he remained realistic enough not to expect anyone else ruining their health for his endeavour.

He has had a rollercoaster ride of a business life in the last two decades, but we are still friends and meet every now and then.

@PonySlaystation not enough people appreciate the impressive nerd-level of your joke.

@happygimp0

Honestly, you should take the time and watch a bit of this lecture on the old testament and its link to the ancient near eastern regional culture

You are taking all this waaaay to literally.

And for the messiah thing: The jews largely didn't accept Jesus as the messiah exactly because he was nothing like the prophecies they had at hand.

The messiah was supposed to be a great leader that would smash his opponents. Jesus tumbled a table over in a market and was quickly executed. Not exactly impressive to the jews at the time.

@lambda123 Yeah you're right, sorry. Religion is one of my trigger points. And people like @happygimp0 obviously represents the worst form of it.

@happygimp0 You are happy someone is suffering in hell?

Must be this "loving you neighbor" thing that you Christians are talking about all the time, no?

It is moments like these where I realize how lucky I am to be an atheist surrounded by atheists.

@PaperTrail

"Is it because they, the truckers, are an extreme minority and have little/no way to resist? Hmmm...declaring martial law, targeting a group very few 'regular folk' can relate to....that sounds vaguely familiar."

If you are alluding to what I think you are alluding to, then, as someone born and raised in Austria, I tell you from the deepest depth of my heart: get fucked.

And to quote one of the most influential Austrian politicians of the post-war era: "Learn some history."

@true-dev001 What is "the bar"?

I mean you didn't feel challenged? Maybe you're just that good :)

You can't know what they did or if they did something at all.

Maybe they were a little more welcoming to the women, maybe they gave them more time to answer... Maybe maybe maybe....

The truth is, you will likely never know. You fear that you may not be fully deserving of the opportunity you got? Most people are not, I'm certainly not. Such is life.

I'd say embrace the opportunity and make the most of it.

In one opening in my old company, we had two candidates that were roughly equal in qualifications, but one was an obvious asshole. So technically the other got the job because he was not an obvious asshole... I think he wouldn't lose one night's sleep if he knew.

Don't panic. I mean if they hired "the woman" out of a set of equally qualified candidates, so what?

It is not like they picked up some random girl from the street. You are qualified for the job? Do it!

There are so many criteria for taking a candidate apart from qualification (which should be the knock-out criterion anyway)... If some of the decision was made due to diversity: GOOD. That means the company cares about this, which generally makes for a better working climate.

Congrats on your new job!

@magicMirror Atheros? Thanks for the tip! I'll try to remember it next time I look for a WIFI card.

@IntrusionCM good point in principle, but I don't think the antennas are the main problem here, although the card has to be in actual line of sight to the access point in order to do literally anything useful. The T4E seems to be notorious for loosing connection for no reason whatsoever, likely has to do with not handling channel-switching by the access point that well.

I bought a new wifi card (Ziyituod, never heard of) with an Intel chip on it today and it worked out of the box.

And WW3? I mean what the fuck? Are you really that dumb?

Get you shit together man this is not a fucking joke.

Suspending all human rights? Seriously?

I mean can't you turn down the pathos even once in a while?

The macOS software was always pretty good...

The only problem with them is the sometimes enormously, sometimes ridiculously overpriced hardware.

And if you compare to Android... Why not against iOS? I bought an iPhone for my daughter two years ago because she preferred it over an Android phone. You cannot do anything on that dumb thing without Tim Cooks explicit permission... Even completely trivial things like turning an audio file into a ringtone are virtually impossible.

Oh they pulled a Hetzner...

@IntrusionCM Yeah sure. It is just that I did not expect him to go off-rails that badly. You know, sometimes the solution is so clear in your own mind that you think "Hey, that is a good playground for the new guy.".... And then they over-engineer it to a point where you'd need a five dimensional interaction diagram to describe what the hell is going on in the initialization phase.
