The coding strategy for not using uninitialized memory in C is to initialize it before you use it ;) And I'm fairly cretin that all the major compilers have a check and warning for it in various forms. If you make a global simple type

Like the ISO C standard I do not think that Cert is meant to be a training document in and of itself like a book. The user of the standard is going to have to draw on other sources, experience and technology to put together a an implementat

I doubt it. The number H1Bs for people with the equivalent of a Masters degree or Phd is something like one percent of all H1B visas. I seriously doubt that a shortage of H1B visas would be an issue for a company that decides to hire someon

Yeah, I don't really see the logic in that post. You will most likely see a slight rise in salaries across the board. In addition a larger effort to recruit for junior positions from universities and job listings. The only real change

The claim that Corporations have some fundamental opposition to how online advertising works with tracking and spying and personal data collection is total baloney. No one has made any demands to change how these networks work or to stop co

A non commercial University research group and commercial Corporation research group can be focused on solving very different problems. I think Pike and the other designers skew more towards corporate research (Bell Labs). And surely the de

I agree that there is still a spectrum of quality. And certain Journalists and publications can still establish a reputation for reliability and quality. But the problem is the business model. No one has been able to come up with a solution

I think online journalism as a whole has turned into a form of trolling. Or maybe we are in a post Journalist world now. The value of a story is based on how many clicks it gets. Thats what makes these sites money. It does not matter if you

Are you sure its bots? The Russians could have very easily hacked your computer and planted a virus that tracks you and injects personalized propaganda based on there secret profile of you.

Sorry, I can't think of any off of the top of my head. The only thing that comes close is once in a while you see a C project switch to C++ but that's not really an example of what your looking for. Like when GCC switched over to

Good point. A project with the full financial support of Google with a team including Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Russ Cox and others, in a language that they designed. And it still took a few years and was a huge and stressful process.
