It will. No program is perfect. Rust and Go advocates will have you think that they have conquered security via the memory mgmt and API front but there is still the off chance they haven't..or that the SA (what is left of that maligned

There are basically two rules to a well written C program (if I am now allowed to speak despite the public outcry). 1. Do not trust user input. This is a cardinal rule in whatever source. If the rule were followed vigorously in every case

Better C++ than Go or Rust. Antecedents and track record counts. Young people like the new thing. Go and Rust are capitalizing on that. Learn C. Take the time..it takes a couple years and some pain to learn it and then you will be amply rew

I read this crap in language design and despair. This is why C is my only recourse for systems programming in *nix environments.

It's not that nobody is interested anymore. It is that the onus is on regular citizens to protect themselves. Once you have an understanding of the magnitude of the privacy problem and see what you would have to do to protect yourself

War. These are the men who are missing out on the great civilized purge of useless, direction-less, education-less, baby dads. Not practicable anymore. There is no great enemy, the military services don't want these problem children. O

External monitoring from AWS or a colo. Simple icmp checks and tcp connects + possible up to app layer checks allowed from these failsafes. Obfuscate as needed.

Don't know that they have more but most colos I've used are using akamai.

By the time you outgrow TCL you are a really good programmer. You choose and advocate appropriately.

Medication is a problem unless you are sick. We all need confirmation and less pressure...are we sick because of that?

Cats are cool. They love you and hang out regardless. I've followed this pattern recently and realized that there is a balance that can be met in the middle. Do the easy stuff all and any of the time and do the hard stuff as little as

Oh, yes. Strikes a chord. Work till you drop and not make any friends = disaster.

Lol. Genius. We see the converts and owners here take exception.

Not following on this. Something about value and unions and continuous delivery and process/products and other poop. Seems like someone wanted to whittle the overt jargon into incomprehensibility.

There is no 'self-healing' system. Nothing can detect a 'real' failure as opposed to a counterfeit failure without heuristics that depend on an interpretation that is inherently fallible. Ops was about discipline and me

How about the default sort? Ouch or no ouch?

What is an app I wonder? Is it sort of a codeword for frontend embedded in logic impossible for the user to decipher with invisible sys hooks everywhere because the os is opaque to the user or is it something else?

You know, architecturally, at application level no one wants to deal with this but devs orchestrate nightmarish dependencies for deploys and hit 'endpoints' with aplomb in service architectures with only a playbook or data bluepri

It's time and space. Northern Virginia in 1978 and now. That's a mindf*ck.

That is sort of the Vingean 'mystery' take. If you enjoy his writing style and SF 'Marooned in Real Time' is worth a read.

Not a singularity but any cyber augmented memory interface would lend the appearance of genius until the inputs/outputs are all wrong. Then you have artificial alzheimers and dementia.

1. The only reason to use C these days _is_ performance and portability. Write the code to your level of expertise or use a different language to cater to the 'du jour' audience. 2. This was advice straight of Der lindens Deep C s
