I guarantee you the shrinkage talked about in books from 1930-1993 is not the same shrinkage. This is obvious if you click through to any of the results from the link you provided above.

Yes, the scammers could have pulled this scam any day of the year before the pandemic, and I’m sure they did, but that’s only one side of the equation. Now consider how many companies were willing to hire fully remote workers before the pan

I suspect you’re about to get a ton of legitimate interviews and will be able to pick from the best of them. Strong ethics, and this lesson on their importance, will serve you well your entire career.

The existence of something like nitter demonstrates 2 things: 1. There is massive demand for the product Twitter has on offer. 2. Twitter is utterly incompetent at capitalizing on that demand. This has been true more or less for Twitter’s e

Used it. Doesn’t help. And while we’re in the subject, global find is also awful. Why do I have to find then click through to more messages before it gives me filtering options. It’s incredibly unintuitive.

My second example (the one you replied to) doesn't require you to turn off compiler warnings. It might seem contrived, and it is, but it's the essence of a bug that has happened in the real world, distilled to a 10 line example. A

I get where you're coming from - there are plenty of parts of C++ that I dislike also, but this kind of 'clean up on scope exit' has always been one of C++'s strengths - even before modern c++, and is significantly less

After looking at this, honestly, you should just use C++.

Sure I get it too. If you want to write safe c++ you have to understand memory and lifetimes and what the code is doing. Humans have been shown to be quite bad at doing this - even experienced programmers. Rust offloads that work to the co

For trivial examples like this, it's easy to spot. For modifications on a large codebase months (or years) after the original code happened, it saves significant time and effort to have the compiler catch bugs like this at compile time

> How is Rust so much more secure and reliable than *modern* C++? Rust catches things like use-after-free at compile time. *modern* C++ still lets things slip through e.g. #include <iostream> #include <string>
