That's an optimistic timeline. A whole year without hurting the gay or trans kids is much too long for this administration to be comfortable with.

We already have MMU for Memory Management Unit. Maybe Matrix Multiplication Accelerator instead?

going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.

Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

Yes. Only in fantasy land. As Logi above said, nuclear detonation is an extremely precise, controlled process that has very specific conditions to achieve successfully. Even an actual fission bomb only manages to consume a fraction of the radioactive material.

The only thing someone would achieve by denotating a conventional explosive near a reactor or nuclear stockpile is spreading highly radioactive dust around. That does not nor will ever look like uncontrolled nuclear fission, let alone a detonation from a thermonuclear warhead.

Not quite. The other 0.1% are the rich, and the remaining 27.9% are either just stupid or are delusional enough to think that they'll ever become the rich.

std::string doesn't have a template type for the allocator. You are stuck using the verbose basic_string type if you need a special allocator.

But, of course, nobody sane would write that by hand every time. They would use a typedef, like how std::string is just a typedef for std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>. Regardless, the C++ standard library is insanely verbose when you start dropping down into template types and using features at an intermediate level. SFINAE in older versions of C++ was mindfuck on the best of days, for example.

Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying Rust is much better. Its saving grace is its type inference in let expressions. Without it, chaining functional operations on iterators would be an unfathomable hellscape of Collect<Skip<Map<vec::Iter<Item = &'a str>>>>

TypeScript [...] only adds syntax, and doesn't re-write it.

I believe enum, const enum, and decorators would like to have a word with you.

Rust is verbose, but C++ might still take the cake with its standard library templates. Especially when using fully-qualified type names...

auto a = ::std::make_shared<::std::basic_string<char, ::std::char_traits<char>, MyAllocator<char>>>();

A reference-counted shared pointer to a string of unspecified character encoding and using a non-default memory allocator.

What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.

Republicans later: Why are the peasants so mad Democrat Marxists dressing up as farmers and protesting when I hold town halls??

FTFY

Is prosperity supposed to be yellow and smell like asparagus?

The good old dehu-Manosphere. Malignant, cancerous trash run by grifters and signal boosted by insecure mysognists.

Edit: I see we have some fans of Joe Rogaine, Jordan Small-Peterson, and or Andrew T-hate on here.

Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.

This means either them or more junior developers will be brought in as glorified prompt engineers.

Oh, sweet summer child. It's not going to be junior developers; they still have self-worth. An un(der)paid intern or outsourced contractors, however? They're fine working for scraps and no health insurance.

the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.

A less generous interpretation is that they do but don't care about the parts they disagree with. There's a lot of cherry picking going on with them, and that totally tracks with being the world's #4 exporter of cherries.

To be fair to Ubisoft, the newest Prince of Persia game was a great metroidvania game.

To be fair-er to Ubisoft, they can go fuck themselves for closing down the studio that made said game only a few months later.

They can make good games. They just clearly would rather rehash the same tired formula that they've been running with for the past decade while unreasonably expecting to make more money each time.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your preferred mode of sitting on your ass and doing nothing.

Justification:

I don't live in the States.

Result:

sitting on your ass and doing nothing [while complaining online about how other people are not doing enough]

Yes.

I'm not at all surprised they did it, though. What's yet another little law when their entire day job involves breaking them?

Ok, now suppose you want to release a game for any of the modern Nintendo consoles.

You need to get a devkit. To get it, you need Nintendo to approve your request, and you need to pay them for a license to use the devkit hardware. And, to actually use the devkit, you need a PC running Windows.

Sure, to develop a game for PC, you need a PC. But do you know what you don't need on top of that? A devkit and a Windows license.
