Besides fixing bad C code: how many of those packages are still properly maintained? The Ruby ones don't seem to be. Fedora and other distros likely have to build their packages with patches.

Overall there are even more: 103. But then again 1.9.2 only has 85 and 95 overall. Also one of those new 'overall' ones is the EBCDIC code page for US/Canada.

It's weird because even the first C standard was influenced by C++: function prototypes and const.


People just have to look at the politicians and parties he's supporting. For example in the last French presidential election he opposed the pro-capitalist liberal (redundant as liberals are by definition pro-capitalism). I wonder what's his opinion on the Brazil one. A moderate social democrat vs. fascist belonging to a party called the "Social Liberal Party"?

He's not even a good source of information as his 3 hours long videos consist of Wikipedia articles he glanced through and repeating extreme right-wing conspiracies (Cultural Marxism, the terrorist attack at the Unite the Right rally).

(Also the only decent anti-idpol people are Marxists.)


“A moderated social democrat” who defends Venezuelan and Cuban dictators and who is running (admittedly!) as a puppet for a convicted corrupt politician who he plans to put out of jail. And the other guy is the fascist?

You are either misinformed about the situation in Brazil or being deliberately misleading.


cultural marxism is an extreme right wing view?

The term "liberal" has changed in the minds of people, my friend. Liberals are now synonymous with left wingers, who are NOT pro-capitalist.


The US is not the whole world. In Europe, liberalism is synonym to «market liberalism».

What's next? Anarcho-Capitalism?

It's also kinda ironic because improved performance was the reason behind that decision.


To be honest it might still have better performance if/when they add more mitigations for more security vulnerabilities. It seems like an anomaly right now since they're only addressing Meltdown/Spectre, but the core issues (no pun intended) are fundamentally there.


Cultural Marxism isn't real. It's a Neo-Nazi conspiracy theory popularized by a right-wing terrorist. If fascism actually has arrived, you played a part in it. Your views on economic and social policies do too but propertarians like you don't understand fascism and reduce it to authoritarianism.


Please don't use HN for ideological battle. It's not what this site is for.

The term makes it sound more conspiratorial than it is. It’s simply Marx’s framework of power imbalance and exploitation applied directly to social relations. That’s in contrast to Marx’s use of those ideas: applying them directly to economic relations, and seeing social relations as merely as the superstructure of economic relations.

“Critical theory” is a less loaded and more specific term, and there is no doubt that critical theory emerged from neo-Marxist thinkers of the Frankfurt School.

There are certainly conspiracy theories about critical theory, but critical theory scholars themselves used to use the term “cultural Marxism”. Modern day radical feminism and identity politics is without a doubt philosophically grounded in critical theory.


Thanks! Countless idiotic commentators who've been led astray. If only you had spoken up earlier we would have seen the truth. What a relief.


Your snark doesn't make my comment less true.


His snark also does not make your comment true in the first place.


>discrediting political opponents [...] and inciting racial conflict to sow instability among Americans

Your mass media/ruling class does that too (especially on the political right). And they have much more influence than some largely unknown YT channel allegedly backed by Russia.

How about RT? They play in the same conspiracy league though RT reaches far more people since they air the same agenda in different western countries and languages.
