Write a multithreaded program guaranteed to have no data races in C and tell me that C is simple. C _looks_ simple, deceivingly so. As soon as you need to deal with a large project in a corporate environment on a code base aged in double di

This entire article seems to amount to "I am used to C, thus I don't see the problem with C." which is a fine position to have, but it's a perspective unique to the writer and others like him. It doesn't apply to pe

I'm not sure if I agree with any statement of the form "The use-case for Rust is not the same as foo ." for any foo where Rust is replacing a language that replaced foo . Rust is replacing C++ in several well documented p

I'm not sure why people try and go for the cheapest microcontroller. These things all have unit prices in the single digit dollars or less in actual production costs. Finding a cheap microcontroller is entirely about finding a cheap re

I think you're making an unfair argument. It was rarely (if ever) the intent of the US to kill civilians in it's various wars it's done. You're making the "collateral damage" argument that is often used as a po

War propaganda is in fact generally overt. It's some of the most overt propaganda there is usually. And no, informing the populace that a country is a potential aggressor is not "war propaganda".

Threats that are few in number and great in number are handled by different sorts of countermeasures. If China really did flood the west in balloons, then alternate measures would be used to handle it, perhaps measures that aren't publ

The "solution" was to not invade Crimea in the first place, forcing Ukraine's hand followed by a second invasion of Ukrainian territory in the west. You're conveniently forgetting that Crimea was not the only territory i

Please point out some American media claiming we should go to war with China. That's just a ridiculous statement. There is no amping up for offensive war with China. There is plenty of amping up of concern that China will invade Taiwan

The US did worse to Japan. Also South Korea was similarly carpet bombed in the process of re-taking it from the north as almost all territory was lost and the north almost won.

If it hadn't gone to China it would have gone elsewhere. China wasn't the only country with poor people at the time. The reason China got picked was because we wanted to reduce the power of the Soviet Union. The US policy during t

Also note that China's killed way more people in it's short history than the US did through it's entire 240 year history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine Tens of millions of dead in a

You can have bits and pieces of democracy without actually fully having it, I think is the intent of the above post.

While you're correct that 9/11 caused issues I think you're conflating things incorrectly here. I don't see anti-China policies being used to justify crack downs on freedoms like was done after 9/11. Perhaps that&#x

I'll echo Ygg2's comments. My previous job the minimum compile times were around 30 minutes so compile times under a minute feel like they're happening almost instantly. It's enough such that I don't need to break m

Completely agree, coming from a job where the C project I worked on took 30 minutes for basic software builds (you don't generally compile the code while writing it and spend a lot of time manually scanning looking for typos), Rust com

Most of the time for most changes you should just be relying on "cargo check" anyway. You don't need a full re-build to just check for syntax issues. It runs very fast and will find almost all compile errors and it caches met

This suddenly explains to me a lot of stuff in computer engineering/programming. 1. The developers who fight over vim vs emacs or other tools. A defensive mechanism. 2. The occasional developer that spent their lives working with C and

You're generalizing the loudest of the fringe to those 140M people followed by generalizing personal anecdotes to the same 140M. This is the same as trying to say that all Democrats support antifa.
