   Quoting the article: > those who [used the GC] required only about a third as much time (4 hours vs. 12 hours). Surely you can devote a chunk of your newfounded time to find use-after-free bugs.

   Perhaps some kind of centralization could help with that.

   When porting our audio plug-ins to Big Sur we had to avoid some APIs that were running fine for years, because of new memory leaks.

   I much more happy using D that I have ever been using C++. It is a perfect replacement, with none of the issues mentionned in GP comment.

    I learned with QBASIC because you could put text and pixels on screen immediately. It is beyond useless to start with syntax, fibonacci and prime numbers.

    Is it Stockhold syndrome? After years of GIMP I really disliked the Affinity interface, also it is unusably slow on a very recent computer here. I kinda like GIMP, the good parts.

    For me the problem is that "functional programming" embodies a lot of questionnable ideas: - the idea that readability is not the first thing to pursue - the idea that macros are great - the idea that leaving performance off the t

    Apple contributed hugely to kill Flash and Java on the Desktop (let alone things like Silverlight). ALso non-native code is still 2x slower all things considered.

    Decoding a progressive JPEG when you have the whole stream is more CPU intensive and the decoder itself is more complex.

    Yes. But this role doesn't always exist. For whoever is in power, creating suitable counter-powers may not feel like a pressing issue.

    There is a dark organizational pattern that I find wasteful: when sales have complete power over engineering, sales would routinely ask for features/projects at a breakneck pace for _potential_ customers instead of having a product-bas

    Hacker News skews towards richer, more technical, and higher-educated and then makes systematic bias against pedestrian, working-class, and uncomplicated solutions. If it's too popular on HN I'd say it's a red flag.
