The compiler doesn't see their bodies. The functions are already compiled into a library. Lookup detailed descriptions of how compiling and linking works -- this is the sort of thing where...

Don't use non-open source revision control systems. They're no good anymore. Use Mercurial. Don't use Subversion unless you have large binary files or the need to control permissions for...

The trouble with trying to argue with me is that you don't disagree with me about C++.

Edit: What you disagree with, apparently, is the practice of providing reasons for the things you say.

I don't care about you or your appeal to self-authority. I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about because most people don't.

And stop having a chip on your shoulder, and I was...

Here's a nice review by somebody I consider smart: http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2009/11/googles_new_language_go.php

I think that quote is referring to type safety. Not to mention monkey-patch safety. If you know how to use C++, it's a very safe language. C++ provides the best "resource safety" of any mainstream...

Well, I like it. In particular, slices, rather than pointer arithmetic, is simply The Right Thing.

I have been looking for a good safe systems programming language, and it seems like garbage...

You are popular the way Bill O'Reilly is popular.

Scala rules, Java drools.

What are you talking about? The saxophone is a woodwind.

The piano.

ROFL

My knees are now flabby so I don't need to hide them anymore.



Why the hell not?

You're amazed by this? You must not be as smart as I thought you were :P

Are you a scientologist?

Since this seems to be the narcissistic You-Tube video thread... here is mine.

This is not true. I might act nice to jbennet, maybe, but that's all part of my master plan.

Why?

Your beautiful hands turn me on...

I'm going to make it so dry for you.

Whoa, what a huge spergation.

I would just look at MIS as an inferior degree for inferior people.

Are you having trouble with the math in your CS classes, or are you speculating that you might have trouble?



They point in different directions.

This is the most retarded thread I have ever read.

Nobody cares.

No, it comes down to violence no matter what. Either you entice people to vote with the money you stole from them through taxes, or you punish people through fines. And if they rightfully refuse...

Forcing people to vote means violently attacking the people who didn't vote. These people will be violently attacked without having committed any misdeed upon others. That is evil, and so is the...

Nonsense. The function is not defined at the point pi/2.



This is complete, unforgivable nonsense. One 'infinity' is a point that extends the number line, while aleph 0 is the cardinality of...

Josh had to ask me on the IRC channel before jumping on this. I like how he used radians to look smarter.

tan(x) certainly tends to infinity as x tends to 90 degrees from below. However, it...

No... I just have a visceral reaction to pseudo-scientific statements that have no grounding in fact.

I vote discman.

What the heck are you talking about? This is the most compressed load of balognial B.S. I have ever read in my life. It takes no longer to remember something that you've learned at one age than...

Ah, you should try http://reddit.com/ for posting random links.

That's a hard question. Has technology improved between the 1980s and 2000s? I'll have to think hard about that one.

Because it's retarded.

Doesn't sound like a democracy to me.

There is no imaginary plane. There's an imaginary axis, and the real and imaginary axes make up the axes of the complex plane.

I still don't understand what the spiritual plane is.

What's that?

I don't feel that I really got comfortable with C++ until I ditched visual studio and used a text editor.

I'm not believing, I'm observing.

If you've read A Wrinkle in Time, did you find yourself siding with IT?
