I have to ask: is this serious or not? While extremely funny, are you guys all working for places where this is not potentially billions in damages?

There is nothing worse than library or language maintainers who do not understand that "pure" error messages are absolute hell. If 99.99 % of the time a user should simply write x instead of y, the message should absolutely state that if possible.

I don't understand why was the next version of IP not just identical to IPv4 but with more bits in address space? Were they trying to do too many things at once in the 90's?

I find it so hard to believe American Universities give out grades based on hand-ins at all. It seems more similar to High School

from the coursepage
>Brief Course Description: More abstract than calculus, this course aims to develop basic algebraic tools for work with problems involving many variables. Starting from systems of linear equations and vectors in 2-space and 3-space, this course develops ideas about length, angles and resolving a general vector into useful components, identifying features of linear systems or processes in order to choose a basis that is well-adapted to studying a particular phenomenon and move between different points of view to reveal the essential underlying structure. Companion course to 201 (Multivariable Calculus). Discusses matrices and linear transformations, linear independence and dimension, bases and coordinates, determinants, orthogonal projection, least squares, eigenvalues and their applications to quadratic forms and dynamical systems.
Definitely NOT a math class

this is an exceptionally bad take imo and seems extremely degrading towards women

Because of the people continuing to defend this kind of behavior, and blaming the poor sales guy for not being "technical" enough.

Imagine someone messing with your car. Might be an easy fix if you are a mechanic. Most people are not.

That was extremely inappropriate behaviour from you if this story is true. I feel bad for everyone else involved.

Please see this https://www.indeed.com/career/semiconductor-engineer/salarie...
I promise you that there are not millions of kids. Your argument may still hold, but the was majority of children knows no one with this level of technical experience, let alone any programmers.

> Zeloof’s family was supportive but also cautious. His father asked a semiconductor engineer he knew to offer some safety advice.
As impressive and independent as this is, you have to wonder if any other gifted child could have done the same feat. The article seems to skip over this point, how many people know a "semiconductor engineer"?
futharkshill | 4 years ago | on: The case for a modern language
Another programming language being popular by no means mean that it is a derived language of any sort. Any development is of course retrospective, but it is sorta like saying all music is descendant from pop.
futharkshill | 4 years ago | on: The case for a modern language
While a programming language and ecosystem includes some of the culture, bad code and project structure IMO should not be blamed on C. Modern C projects are a breeze
