My complaint is that it is too easy to create an object with uninitialized members by accident. On account of the syntax being identical. I guess its too late to add affordances there. I suppose a definition of valid that prohibited uniniti

It depends on what you mean by "object". For example, pod types share syntax with classes but are not always initialized. What's better is that sanitizers don't detect this form of undefined behavior! (Clean on memory,ad

Clang tidy covers only the most trivial use after move scenarios. It's useful coverage but isn't and never will be complete like the rust borrow checker.

So, my understanding is that: 1. Unless otherwise initialized, types have a zero value in go. For pointer types that zero value is nil. 2. It's encouraged for this to be meaningful. That's opposed to say java, python, or C++ where

Why require types have a meaningful zero value? It's not necessary for value semantics. You can require that values be initialized and the machinery for that doesn't seem that bad. Zero values seem as arbitrary as requiring all ty

I'm not sure what you're driving at. The sibling clearly outlines a scenario where the collateral is lost. But it almost doesn't matter so long as you assume the clearinghouse isn't some vestigial intermediary. I can&#x2

It makes perfect sense for a regulation that intends to protect the retail customer's interests. I suspect Robinhood would put customer money up for collateral if they were allowed to do so.

Here's what I gather from that thread. The bottom line is that the retail trader stays whole in the case the trade fails to clear. If the broker was allowed to use the retail trader's money for collateral it would either not reall

I'm not sure deferred conversion is a bad thing in this toy instance. I agree that being able to easily tradeoff between time and space is an important property of compile time evaluation and C++ doesn't make that easy with the no

String literals are specified to have static storage duration. That means references are valid at least until main returns. In practice string literals are immortal and references to them are always valid.

Find me a reasonable person offended by this terminology and I'll show you an unreasonable person. That connotation doesn't come through at all.

It's amazing that a dog smelling odors could be evidence of anything, even taken in the context of other evidence. In my view the dog is simply a tool to find evidence. The tool indicating there is evidence is not evidence.

The problem with trans fats seems to be a matter of degree rather than kind. See the note on palm oil on Wikipedia. Also note that deaths attributable to coronary artery disease, the quantifiable thing linked to trans fat consumption, are h

Ok. Show me something that would be a food but for "delayed bad things". Like, delayed by decades or even years. Just so we're clear, nutritional deficiencies aren't of any interest. As far as I'm aware this angle i

I find reviews work best when you place a strong bias towards shipping workable if imperfect code. Quick reviews are also a strongly positive thing. On the other end are fixed processes. Have as little of this as possible, automate it if yo

It doesn't do a very good job of delineating the coast. Seems like +- 50 ft is black. Puget sound is unrecognizable on my display.

What you're describing is WhatsApp. So we don't need to speculate. iMessage benefited tremendously from being the default. Combine that with Apple's mobile market share in the US and you get the present situation. My gripe is

This is a hard problem and definitely not unique to Java. For example networks, or perhaps more appropriately, network protocols, have these kinds of cliffs as the offered load on the network increases. As I understand a particularly bad t

How can the runtime conclude that the rejection is unhandled when there are outstanding references to the Promise? In other words, as long as the promise might later be awaited or otherwise handled I don't see why the runtime should ca

I don't like ion. The added features (over json) don't pull their weight. Symbols, annotations and the binary format all add significant complexity but don't make the format much better. As a consequence of the added complexi
