   I had more success switching them over to Telegram. I'd prefer Signal, obviously, but I'll take what I can.

   Yes. See? Ask an easy question, get an easy answer.

   I mean, I basically agree with you, but I like your challenge. What about Rust's borrow checker? I considered it novel, but I'd love to find out it was stolen from somewhere.

   Because... That's not userspace, that's kernelspace. Linux's policy on kernelspace API breakage is famously, "we do what we like, and if you're not in-kernel, then you get to keep both pieces when it breaks". I

   Thanks for that answer. I myself don't like to use Telegram like that, I prefer to separate my IM from my blogs. But your answer caused me to rethink Telegram, because now that I think about it I do know people who participate in that

    This is true, but a lot of those latency sensitive applications are hard latency requirements, where you have to do something in X time, but doing it faster than X isn't actually useful. There are realtime GCs that can meet these hard

    In what way is Telegram similar to Facebook or LiveJournal?

    Where are you looking? For Cisco, their press releases seem to be here: https://newsroom.cisco.com/pressreleases I haven't looked through all of them because I'm lazy, but scrolling through them I haven't yet

    It's a press release. They're always worded like that.

    Um, I'd expect IDA to have a better UI, being a paid commercial tool as opposed to an internal tool for the intelligence community. Not that I know anything about Ghidra yet.

    That problem is called cargo-culting. You copy the outwards appearances, not understanding the underlying motives, yet expect the same results.

    That's an ideal. Most companies like to grow, and growth usually means hiring.

    While it's true that a microkernel would hand the job to userspace, this is unrelated to Linux's bundling of drivers. Linux, unlike the Windows kernel (which is also not a microkernel), does not have a stable kernel API for driver

    I mean, eventually a committee takes over, sure. But C++ is Stroustrup, Java is Gosling, C is K&R, JavaScript is Eich. Most successful languages kept their internal consistency by being designed by a single person. Historically, these s

    This was the way I was taught to conduct interviews at Google when I was there ~3 years ago, so it can't be that recent. That was the ideal though, I'm not that surprised that in practice it doesn't actually work.

    It's bloat used properly, in the most literal sense. Your pointers are 64bit, but you always use less than 32bits. So, all your pointers are twice is big. This wasted space from bits you do not need is "bloat".

    P.S. "3 C++ programmers for 6 months", in the context of adding developers to a team, is usually a sign of horrible project management. Software development just doesn't work like that, c.f. The Mythical Man Month.

    Sure, these exist, but that's not really the same line of business. You have your technical consulting firm and general IT contractors that sell services to companies whose main competence is not software developers. Then you have cont

    Yes, it's different. 32-bit x86 support is for compatibility with older software. x32 is a completely new thing that has nothing to do with compatibility. Basically, it's everything that AMD added to the 64-bit variant of x86, exc

    But that's not how red/green/$color badges work at Google/Intel/Facebook/$company. They're not "3 highly skilled C++ programmers", they're usually slotted into some kind of not as appreciate
