How much does it cost to pay someone to administer? Including backups, BCP, integration with SSO etc? It’ll work for a 5 person startup, but will get expensive fast for larger organizations.

If you’re a safe c++ programmer who never writes code that has memory errors, you need to be tracking ownership and lifetimes. Once you get your head around the borrow checker, Rust takes a lot of that cognitive load off you, by tracking th

You still end up worrying about memory eventually, and the solution will often be to purchase more memory - which can be a fine tradeoff to make at times.

Here’s an example: Let’s say there’s a chat message with a sentence or two I want to copy/paste elsewhere. I highlight just the text I want and hit copy, and then when I go to paste, Teams has ‘helpfully’ copied not just the highlighte

On mobile at the moment so can’t check my .gdbinit, but a quick search turns up this page which seems relevant: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Skipping-Over-Func...

There are settings you can place in .gdbinit to avoid stepping in to internals of anything you don’t want to step into, be it std library classes/functions or your own code. Much nicer than hacky ifdefs.

Glad we agree then that it permeates the lower levels of windows programming.

Not sure how this disagrees with my statement that "you can write a modern windows GUI app without really needing to touch COM directly because there are other abstractions built on those APIs "
221.
by imron 4y ago
It kind of is legacy. Yes, lower-level modern APIs are written in it, but you can write a modern windows GUI app without really needing to touch COM directly because there are other abstractions built on those APIs. This was not as true of

That doesn’t negate anything I said.

Component object model. It’s a windows thing from the 90’s that still permeates the lower levels of windows programming.

Docker and kubernetes excel in a world of static binaries. Gotta love those 5mb bare images.

Rust prevents data races which are only one kind of race condition.

> With Rust one must first train brain to wrap around those ownership rules and this might not be easy. You need to do that in c++ also, otherwise you'll still have the same problem - only randomly at runtime instead of at compile t
227.
by imron 4y ago
It's the opposite of my experience. The mental load of Rust is lower than C++ because I can trust the compiler to take care of and track ownership and lifetimes, whereas with C++ that has to be done manually. And yes, I aware of all t

To be fair, as an IT director, when you see this sort of reduction you should dig deeper and understand where the cost savings are coming from.

Of all the z’s my favorite by far is Ctrl-z, which send the current application to sleep and drops you back to the terminal, where you can do whatever you need before using ‘fg’ to return the slept process to the foreground. It works with e

From a clean cache, rockauto.com takes a good 5 seconds to fully load on my machine. mcmaster.com is under a second.

If you’re interested in SRS algorithms you should visit the site of the guy who basically invented them [0]. Most SRS algorithms seen in apps today are based on one of the super memo algorithms in one shape or form. Anki was based on SM2, w
