Try it and find out.

Raid often comes with snapshots which can recover from your mistakes. Often the raid can even recover after malware encryhts your disk. you still need offline, offsite backups for the best protection but raid is still a useful part of your data safe

my python doesn’t need to parse to pass cI, at least to long as I don’t write tests that run that code section. Checkmate all languages that have to compile. /s

Rust’s package manager doesn’t manage c++, python, or anything else. Since the real world should not be one language to rule them all any package system must handle all possible languages. Otherwist they are lacking.

I said this is a hard problem and might not even be solvable.

rust is not better than C++ if you are in any of those cases where rust doesn’t work. Not really worse, but not better either. If it works for you great, but it is worse for me as rust fight our homegrown system (which has a lot of warts )

Dependency management has to deal with the real world where what we didn’t know in 1970 hurts us.

I was a lot more productive in C++ 15 years ago when the current project was 100% greenfield. Now that the code is 15 years old I’m much less productive because over the years we have discovered mistakes we made. I suspect I’m still more productive than the average C++ programmer because 15 years ago modern C++ was known (c++11 was still a couple years away though) and so we didn’t do a lot of the mess that people hate on C++ for.

Which is to say I want to know how productive those programmers will be in 15 years when the shiny of rust has warn off and they are looking at years of what seemed like a good design but current requirements just don’t fit.

Added on top of that is a modern dependency management system that is severely needed in languages like C and C++

I won’t disagree, but what Rust did is not the correct answer. Better than C++ perhaps, but not good enough. In the real world my code is more than Rust. I’m having trouble using rust because all my existing code is C++ and the dependency management does not work well with my existing build system and dependency management. If you want a dependency manager it needs to cover all languages and be easy to plug in whatever I’m doing currently. This is NOT an easy problem (it might not even be possible to solve!), but if you fail you are useless for all the times where dependency management is hard.

Abuse. I don’t agreewithfree speach in all things. I doupt anyone does. I don’t want to see constant (to the point of only) ads for vbucks. I don’t want threats to my person. There are a few other things like that, that I think we all agree on., I then have a personal list of things like porn or swearing that iidon’t want to see but some of you do. Where to draw theelineethus isn’t clear but there is one.

You are missing the point. table saws are too dangerious to risk the cheap saw. Better to do without. Ther are alternatives that while slower are also cheaper.

i understand this is a lot of money. your fingers are worth it.

You can, but it is less likely. Most likely you draw blood but the would heals normally in a week without needing a doctor

chisles are more dangerious but you normally work away from your body.

I agree, but I would suggest the guy should be willing to spend the money for safety. If he cannot afford it get a handsaw.

Unfortuately c++ interoperability is hard. I wouldn’t write c++ without vector and other containers (templates). Or classes complete with inheiritance (rarely multiple) and thus name mangeling. I now have millions of lines of that stuff and it is hard to write anything else because it has to mix.

I like the legacy plan I’m on. I don’t get netflix included - but I never use that anyway, and meanwhile I get more data for the same price.

That missile may be used by Ukraine defending against Russians attackers trying to kill them. Sure people die as a result of your work, but you also allow others to live.

The real unethical thing is for anyone - regardless of where you work - to allow your military weapons to be used for “evil”. (Note that I didn’t define evil)

The romans made leap day Feburary 24th, and renumbered the days following that. So you are not asking the right question.

Crying over some C code I have to work with. I’m supposed to do a quick proof of concept but with all data passed by global variable.

i last looked into this about 20 years ago. I concluded I could make it work but I don’t use wine enough to bother.

Sure, when linux loads are process it follows a standard procedure to see how to run the file. If the file has ELF markers it runs the process via the ELF loader. If the file has #! as the first then it uses a different process to run that script. (I doubt a.out executable format is supported anymore, but that at least used to be an option). There is no reason you cannot hack this process to detect windows executable and then use wine to load/run the application. I’m not sure why nobody has done this, but the basic things have been supported in linux for decades.

Culture will not allow a man to report being raped - there is a large double standard in play. Nobody will believes you would refuse sex with any female who wants it - even fundamentalists Christians won’t believe you while calling the girl a slut. The police are less likely to take you seriously if you do try (and many do not take rape seriously). Even if the second is not true where you live, the first almost certainly is.

As such we don’t have good statistics. (We also have reason to believe women typically will not report being raped)
