Yes. He recognizes hot air when he encounters it.

You asked, I answered. I will not waste any more.

Rust is not, in the end, a simpler language, in the same way C is not. It is able to do less, which leaves me needing to do more.

I do. "New programs should not be in C++" means, exactly, "You should be laid off so they can hire me instead". If you had something that could do what I need, I would be using it already. It cannot. But you want to bypa

Because nobody does this. An sv is a temporary you pass down the call chain, where it is uniformly perfectly safe. This is why I say it takes extra work to get things wrong. Every example purporting to show "unavoidable" memory fa

Concepts can be used for instanceof. But they can be used in other ways, too.

No. I mean that there is a great deal C++ can capture and present in a library that cannot be expressed in Rust. Much of this will never be in Rust because of this or that early choice of direction. At the most basic level, in Rust you cann

A fair number of glyphs do look like a picture of one of the words usually spelled with that glyph. And in a fair number of those cases, multiple glyphs represent the same syllable, and one is preferred for writing this word, and another

Well, OK. The world is anyway lousy with syllabaries and abjads, many of which started life as logograms. And, it is attractive to think there was a first, although it is easy to imagine a pair of neighboring scripts both evolving to syllab

Right. There is basically no possibility at all that IVC was Vedic. Vedic was pastoral and martial, IVC sedentary, farming, and wholly non-martial. BTW, "IVC" is problematic, because it extended hundreds of km east well across the

You have correctly identified where pantheons come from. The term for these religions is "syncretist". Each tribe, village, city-state has its god or gods that join in, or are merged into others already there (some get lots of nam

Yes. Use of the "C/C++" construction is a marker for one or more of ignorance, dishonesty, or laziness. Usually it doesn't matter which: into the round file it goes.

He knows it is just hot air. He has been at Microsoft forever. He really knows hot air.

In other words, not a problem.

What he probably means is he imagines the moved-from vector still has elements in it, and indexes into the empty. Another argument for at() outside loops.

Yes. "C/C++" on a résumé is a red flag. "Next!"

It's a sign of a liar, and you can round-file it without reading any more.
561.
by ncmncm 4y ago
I was there and yes we did. You wish it was recent and something you could pretend about. But anytime you write it, you are telling a lie. Being seen lying tells the reader more about you than you probably intend.

Rust is perfectly happy to leak. But as in C++, there is no temptation to.

"Hilariously awful" template metaprogramming is a thing of the past. It has been years since it seemed needed, or since I read any. New, more intuitive features have displaced it. With concepts in C++20, you get to choose whether

There is still quite a lot that you can only ever express in C++. So, no. And plenty of that, you will never be able to express in Rust.

It can't shed the old stuff, but it is very, very suspicious -- smelly -- when any of it appears in new code.

I see you do not have much contact with Rust evangelists.

Yeah, syllabaries are absolutely the norm, and usual end state for a script, from Japan to Ireland. The Greek innovation of splitting syllables into diphthongs was revolutionary. Still, one syllabary had to be first. Logograms evaporate whe

The early Canaanite Yahweh had a wife and equal, Asherah, goddess of cakes, etc. The misogynist Hebrews demoted her to a stick, which they could not eliminate because she was still essential to important rituals, for centuries after. (Evide

Yahweh did not come from Brahma, Brahma did not come from Yahweh. Likewise, Osiris, Odin, what-have-you. The undisciplined Vedic, Norse, and Greek pantheons do trace to proto-Indo-Europeans in the Caucasus. The elevation of a chief god out

Article also repeats the canard, "Chinese is based on pictures, or logograms, with specific meanings." No, Chinese writing is not logograms. Chinese writing is a syllabary with redundancy (many ways to write the same syllable) a
