   Please stop mixing C and C++ together. Learn C gets you to know all the underlying mechanisms. Learning C++ gives you nothing else but some overmarked concepts like OO.

   Unless you are in gaming or HFT, setting out to learn C++ in 2023 is a major career limiting factor. Why would someone burn a sizable chunk of their energy & free time to just entertain those C++ standard committee members sitting on a

   for stuff like gaming & HFT, you are probably forced to do it in C++, it is a sad reality affecting small % of developers. for everything else, if you are still building fresh new projects in C++, you are making a big mistake. C++ today

    "C++ is becoming a legacy language" can't agree more. it is a broken language forcing users to focus on the language itself rather than actual problems. it is a museum class language run by trucks load of bureaucracy. 12 year

    from lawyers perspective, they should be the ones who regulate robots, the last thing they want is to be replaced by robots. the reality is that lawyer as a profession, has pretty good chance to be replaced by AI in the near future.

    50g of fentanyl has a street price tag of $5-10k USD. that itself is another problem. if the system can make it extremely risky to sell such deadly drugs, its price will have to go up significantly, forcing many many people to stop abusing
