If you start thinking about a conspiracy, the first thing you should do is ask yourself how much effort it would take to keep it under the lid without anyone leaking.

You are describing limitations on sandboxed UWP apps, but Windows still supports regular Win32 just fine, and everything that you describe is available there. I still run 30 year old games on Windows and write new software using WPF and Win

The problem with Ada is tooling other than the compiler. Last I checked, GnatStudio still doesn't work well on Apple Silicon, for example, and VSCode support was decidedly meh. With Free Pascal, though, you get a TUI IDE working basica

86Box is what you want for this kind of nostalgic programming, comrade. Our teachers didn't know much about this stuff in school. The origin of my username here (and elsewhere) is from those classes at school; I once submitted an assig

It's not an either-or (well, except for this last item). It seems sensible to not write new software in plain C. Rust is certainly a valid choice for a safer language, but in many cases overkill wrt how painful the rewrite is vs bene

Corporations are creations of a democratic society. A corporate charter is granted . As such, it can and does come with strings attached, which can include rules such as "you are not allowed to do this", so long as rules and th

In practice this means that in C and C++ land you have large framework-style libraries (GLib, Boost, Qt etc), which are much easier to vet, and doing it ones gives you a whole lot of goodies at once with minimal dependencies.

Of course, this only works so long as the sandbox is secure. There have been attempts to do this kind of sandboxing before. Java and .NET both used to have it. Both dropped it because it turns out that properly sandboxing stuff is hard.

Yep, I believe that's what Scala called that. And I think we need something like this to get people off globals.

Access to source code does not translate to "written by some random people". Many F/OSS projects have a tight circle of contributors, sometimes even outright closed as for e.g. SQLite. That aside, OP was complaining about sof

It's great if you already know enough (or know how to read the manpage) to verify that what it tells you is really what it does. Given that e.g. LLM coding assistants sometimes end up doing things like reverting code they didn't w

Gnome developers also have a habit of telling users (and other developers who try to integrate with their DE) who ask for those missing features that they're "holding it wrong" etc. Quite often this is justified along the lin

I clicked on the link, and the first thing I see is a screenshot where half of the screen is taken by terminal with TUI apps in it. There's no "Install" button, and the "Download" one is labelled "ISO". Ye

I would argue that if you're using Python, you already don't care about performance (unless it's just a little glue between other things). In .NET they do virtual dispatch via a very basic map-like interface that has a bunch

If Hamas only targeted Zionists , that would be a reasonable take, but their actions - including the October massacre - and their propaganda target Jews in general. Nazis in the West are actually divided quite a bit on this. Old-school Naz

Jabotinsky was arguing for forceful colonization, not outright genocide, but "colonization" was the other term that you objected to. And yes, of course, there are different brands of Zionists - but the fundamental believe of that

It's because JavaScript was the thing that popularized async/await for many developers, and they aren't aware that it originated in a language (C#) and runtime (.NET) that are fully multithreaded.

They could do something like OCaml modules and signatures but more permissive. Module author writes the public signature and that's what the type checker runs against, but if you want, you can "downcast" the module to the act

Regarding recursive functions, would it really be that annoying? We kinda take the ability to recurse for granted, yet it is rarely used in practice, and often when it happens it's unintentional and a source of bugs (due to unforeseen

OP didn't say that code looks like ordinary sync code, only that it's possible to write code that works equally well for both sync and async. If you RTFA, it looks like this: var a = io.async(doWork, .{ io, "hard" })

It depends on how you do it. XSLT 2.0 had <xsl:tunnel>, where you still had to declare them explicitly as function (well, template) parameters, just with a flag. No explicit control over levels, you just get the most recent one that s

Are you seriously trying to argue that genocide is okay in some circumstances? I should also note that the tactic itself dates way back before Israel became an independent state. Here's one honest Zionist writing it like it is: https:
