Not Tesla exactly, but Musk has gone all-in trying to get a man elected to be US President who consistently says climate change is a hoax, or words to that effect.

Maybe that's a meme, but obviously I'm not saying that. The problem is that people watch these videos and it's all ELON ELON ELON. Most of them don't even know Shotwell's name.

Both. A single person can be great in some areas and a malicious loon in others. In fact, great success in one field can provide the self-confidence and capital to be a catastrophe in others. But also keep in mind that Musk isn't perso

Oh, you mean vendoring. Yes, you can do that, but there is no easy support for keeping those vendored dependencies in sync with upstream. And if you want really nice things like notifications when those dependencies have security updates th

Build.rs is great on most cases. The important thing is that it's easy for users to download and build everything.

That doesn't solve the problem of making it easy for people to download and build the dependencies.

by roca 2y ago
Lots of reasons, but a big one is that dependency and build management in C++ is absolutely hellish unless you use stuff like Conan which nobody knows. In Rust, you use Cargo and everyone is happy.

I have a theory that a lot of journalists really wanted to be novelists. When they get a chance to write a long-form article they can't resist the urge to flex their stylistic muscles; "look at me, I'm a Serious Writer".

The problem is that detecting fraud is fundamentally harder than generating plausible fraud. This is because ultimately a very good fraud producer can simply produce output that is identically distributed to non-fraud. For the same reason,

What does "enforce the use of smart pointers" actually mean? Idiomatic C++ uses "this" and references ubiquitously, both of which are vulnerable to use-after-free bugs just like raw pointers.
