Likely aimed at financial departments which often (in my experience) love to do everything in Excel.

All the use after free and buffer overflow bugs that plague our key infrastructure.

I think with http request failures losing the status code can be a real pain. There’s a big difference between 400, 401, 404 and 500 for instance.

I wouldn’t call bad readability a loaded gun really. Your dev tools will hopefully make it pretty easy to learn the type. It should be a minor inconvenience at best.

The problem with dynamic typing is you can’t always figure out what the type is even with investigation as it can be lots of things based on what is passed or returned. It also allows incorrect values to be passed.

People will indeed make that readability argument but if the type is not obvious and important to understanding the code then it likely shouldn’t be used there.

auto isn’t dynamic typing it’s just type inference. It still has a fixed type you just don’t have to write it. Like var in C#.

Lambdas are just a way of defining methods in place. It has nothing to do with callbacks.

But you’re spot on for memory safety. Managing it yourself is risky and if it can be managed at zero cost it seems stupid not to.

It’s not a thing in other countries

At the end of the day if they can afford it and don’t want to change you’ve got to ask yourself if it really matters?

I know it’s silly to pay over the odds for something but it’s up to them really.

There’s loads of options.

Plenty of science that could potentially save us if invested properly.

Lab grown meat. Carbon capture. Using said carbon capture for building materials. Nuclear fusion. Outer atmosphere energy generation. Etc.

There’s also cutting back on our consumerism.

Once it gets bad enough that it affects the super rich the world’s governments will miraculously and quickly act as one.

There’s a trend of blaming all mistakes on autism. It’s kind of like a nothing is my fault type thing. People I know with autism definitely do it sometimes but I get the feeling many people who don’t have it do it as well.

My son went through a similar phase recently where he decided he believed in God but he only used it to blame everything on God.

So he’d trip up and say “Thanks God!”.

So basically we can do nothing lol

At the end of the day if you don’t want them using your data don’t give it to them. It’s the only way.

Don’t use their service. Get a privacy focused browser. Get an ad blocker. Disable 3rd party cookies. Container off the sites. Only use the Internet to view furry porn.

Then you’re totally protected.

Let’s be real they’re both fascist states. I don’t think Russia even claims to be Communist.

You’re unpleasant to talk to.

I guess you can argue it’s already written in C. So that was always a requirement.

I mean they’re being put away for shooting at the cops and robbing people.

But your point about the execs stands.

Fair point.

But here he did shoot at the cops.

I don’t think it is

I mean I’ve still yet to hear a reason not to use rust tbf.

But yes that’s what working in a team is like.

I have to do stuff at work so I don’t fuck over the frontend team. I don’t throw a little tantrum about it.

This case does seem pretty open and shut tbf.

That’s exactly why I’m torn. Be pretty hypocritical not to allow it to be applied the other way right?

And it was 25 years anyway for the crime plus it seems there was a lot more going on in this case including a couple other murders.
