I don’t see a call to fork(), so there’s clearly no child here.

[-] elvith@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago
bool isChild() {
  pid_t result= fork()
  return (result == 0)
}

Nope. The check should be in a while loop

[-] username_1@programming.dev 38 points 1 week ago

Correct code:

int getAge()
{
    return 6578;
}

Le Website: Wow, what are the odds this person using MY WEBSITE was born in 1900 on January 1st? They must be the oldest person in the world!

Anything under 25 should be considered a child.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The reason that 25 number came up is that's how old the cohort they were studying brain development got when their funding was cut. There's no reason to not believe brains continue developing all our lives, or that even if that study did find a "cut off point" that it would be the same from person to person.

[-] bluejayway@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

sure, not like people under 25 need to work, pay rent, take care of their own finances and responsibilities, or anything. we’re all just kids living with our parents and when we turn 25, we magically become adults! oh, wait…

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I just find the arbitrary line drawn at 18 to be ridiculous. So, the second you turn 18 you magically become an adult. OK.

And now it's time to judge societies that decide 16 means adult, or 20 means adult, or 25 means adult.

Was it the US that just decided for us that "18 means your adult"? Why should they get to decide that? Based on what criteria?

[-] org@lemmy.org 20 points 1 week ago

People over 65 should be banned from voting, driving, and accessing the internet

Just like a child.

Not everyone's brain degrades at the same rate.

[-] org@lemmy.org 13 points 1 week ago

True. Not every 12 year old is too dumb to vote.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Anyone > 65 should be considered senile until proven different. After all, it's not kids that get scammed out of their retirement funds.

That's not my opinion, but it might lead to changes.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Kids don't have retirement funds. If they did, and they had free access to them, they would definitely get scammed out of them.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

That's pretty much what I wrote, just lacking the sarcasm.

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 10 points 1 week ago

There seems to be a real tendency to want to narrow the band of what a functioning adult is, centered right around whatever age the poster happens to be at.
