For those of us who don't C++, the difference is between passing by reference and passing by value.
I don't see the problem since you pass either way. But I doubt some people have anything that could be called a "conscience" nor any values to begin with.
Well, when most people want immortality, they want to avoid death. Making a copy that behaves like you isn't immortality in the way they want it. Even if it's a perfect copy of you that even acts, thinks and feels like you, it's still not you. You will still die.
I know, I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to make a weak reference to the euphemistic use of "to pass" for "to die".

RE: Programming Memes Thread
@Bulb said in Programming Memes Thread:
You've heard of “duck typing”, right? So the opposite is:
Slowworm typing: it looks like a snake, it slithers like a snake, but it isn't a snake.
Sometimes it's Platypus typing: it looks like … something. Which it probably isn't. Guess again. Oh, and don't go near it, that way lies pain.

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
@hungrier Yeah it's not as nicely balanced out to neutral grey but OTOH it's even further from red while still looking red.

@dkf I guess it would be relatively easy to check that if you could edit the image to replace the Coca-Cola logo by that of another drink (I'm thinking Orangina or Seven Up or Mountain Dew which are mostly blue or green).
But I have no idea how difficult it was to generate the original image, and thus how difficult it might be to generate another similar one.
Simple. All I did was bucket-fill over this photo of red shit on my desk with 100% cyan at 50% opacity.

got off on his own accord.
Wait. If he owned a car, why did he want to take the bus?
What, you're not going to ask about his fetish for relieving himself in public on his car?
Bonk! Go to Honda Jail.

For me, I see the effect in my peripheral vision, but when I focus directly on it it goes away.
For me the effect is visible while the image is moving across my field of view, probably some persistence-of vision effect of the resulting cyan/white/black flickering.
I only see it when I'm pushing my office chair away from the monitor at about 0.3c.

RE: WTF Bites
@BernieTheBernie said in WTF Bites:
Some odd incompatibility with the "new" memory, which has a "valueline" sticker on one side, while my old memory hasn't?
ISTR "valueline" means something like "this is cheap shit that that barely passed our extremely lenient QA and may or may not work for you".
