Yes, that's the surprising bit. Tether USD backing seems to have been fine. But Bitfinex screwed up, I guess partly due to panicking because they couldn't get a proper bank connection. It also seems that the money is lost, just no

There are other, better audited stablecoins now that have been growing for a while now. The trust in tether has always been questionable, this will hopefully accelerate the move away from tether.

I didn't say class or type but "C strings". You can't rip them out and replace them with something better without massive code legacy issues. And then you still haven't dealt with other sources of buffer overflows i

The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 suggests the cake is more distributed than to you think. Unless you mean the "blog post headline" cake, in that case you might be right.

No. It wasn't that brutal compared to Rails 2 to 3 that was much more painful :-) But at the time I thought that the transition to 1.9 was handled poorly and took way too long. Little did I know that Python 2.7 would still be supported
