>What surprises me a little though is that there is zero memory error even in unsafe Rust. There has to be some unsafe code somewhere, for low level data structures and things like that. Even unsafe Rust has more strict typing and borrow

Those OSes and browsers do show memory safety issues time and time again. They are some of the most hardened codebases, and still fail in light of the issues with C and C++.

Exactly, For small-ish tools RiiR works, but not for large proven-in-use codebases. While a rewrite would probably squash memory errors you would often get logic errors because you forgot to port some condition. I'm not against improve

I personally expect there are still some unfound memory errors in there, but it's such a stark contrast to C++ it's amazing. However memory errors in C++ account for 70% of vulnerabilities. I'd expect 30% to thus remain. Edit

Another one: sometimes, especially in large organizations, there are so many rules that you can't find anyone who actually knows them. Making it unlikely they're being followed. In large org thinking, if something bad happens, and

I think a huge issue we have is that we are now at a point where we know a lot. We even know there's some causation here between latent infections and plenty of neurodegenerative disorders. However, as the author pointed out, it's

You are sort of implying that people just aren't trying hard enough. That is your experience, sample size = 1. If you strike that sentence from your comment nobody would be rubbed the wrong way by it. There may be many reasons why some

If you like baking bread and you have the space, I would suggest getting a steam-convection oven, like the one from Anova. You can also steam-slow-cook meat and get juicy tender chicken.

Didn't they have this AI to predict the toxicity of certain compounds with extreme accuracy? If you combine the two it sounds like a solution with some remaining risk, but if the disease is bad enough that risk may be worth it.

Exactly, and if performance at some point matters: benchmark! And I would bet 9 times out of 10 it won't be the bottleneck or even make a measurable difference.
