I'm not a webapp dev, but C/C++ always felt unique via the preprocessor functionality that essentially does text substitutions on source code before handing off to the compiler. Actual flags are useful, e.g. -codegenfoo -linkflagb

Anything with templates, type traits, especially when nested. (The kind of spew you get on an compilation error). Even template< typename T > struct foo<T, std::void_t<decltype(++std::declval<T&>() )>>

Haha, I used to do Planetary Interaction in wormhole space, to chill out. It was peaceful, setting up my extractors, harvesting raw materials, then running through various factories to obtain upgrades or finished products. Of course, loadin

There's a bit more nuance here than merely Citi wants to reverse a wire transaction. The article explains they were servicing debt and accidentally paid the loan off early (rough summary). The debtors could argue they had no reason to

I had a forced move for work a few years back - they imposed a deadline of a few months but after talking to the other managers and HR, I was able to push it back ~3 months. Basically I said I'm willing to move but I need more time to

Nobody is going to bother with reverse engineering your algorithm, or even bother targeting you individually, when it is orders of magnitudes more likely your passwords will be revealed via a garden variety database breach/leak. That l

Not the poster you are asking this question of... but yes, that was true 15 years ago. However these days, app stores have proven their massive profitability, so web tech on par with native apps threatens that income stream. Offering reason

Not the OP, but maybe they meant chacos? ( https://www.chacos.com/ ) I have a pair and as an avid hiker and trail runner... I'm not sure I'd walk 15-20 miles in them. I have other better-suited footwear for that!

I would characterize this situation (of crypto helping perform fast transfers) as a very temporary "advantage" that would almost certainly disappear over time. For one thing, this advantage over the national bank, is during a WAR.

I use Linux and Windows at work and home, and both have advantages and disadvantages. I've been migrating more and more to Linux as my daily driver, so my Windows home machine is basically all games at this point, with a Visual Studio
