   I agree 100%. The Rust syntax is so different from C, C++, Go and Java that it's very difficult for me to use. I love the idea of Rust, but I wish the syntax was more similar to traditional languages. If it were, I think it would be a

   I used Sylpheed in 2001 for awhile before moving mostly to mutt. Recently, I found my old Sylpheed mail folders. 16 years later Sylpheed reads those mail folders and works just like it did back in the day. Still very fast and responsive too

   There's 'compliance security' and then there's 'street-smart security'. They are very different things. Most organizations aim for compliance (it's cheap and easy). They base security on contracts, certs a

   Yep... it's kind of like C. Minimal and to the point.

    They have separate ISO standards. IMO, this makes them fully separate. C - ISO/IEC 9899:2011 C++ - ISO/IEC 14882:2014

    I hope Walmart wins. It's one of the last places around here that I can walk into and interact with an actual person and pay cash. Their online ordering/store pick-up is awesome too. I also have far fewer concerns about fake produ

    Email the author and ask? After he tells you, then use -std=c++XX (or similar) on your favorite compiler and you'll be fine.

    Great point about labor mobility. Many would be American entrepreneurs may never take the plunge (start-up, small business, etc.) because of healthcare cost and fears.

    I read once that the dd command (which stands for convert and copy) was not named cc because the compiler was already called that so they used the next letters in the alphabet. NAME dd - convert and copy a file

    Really, anytime we move faster than we can walk and are on the ground (car, bus, bike, etc.) we're likely to be involved in an accident that may kill us.

    For general purpose operating systems, you can PGP encrypt the secrets and pipe them to a TOTP cli program such as oathgen (I wrote oathgen as a PoC when I was evaluating 2fa options a few years ago). This way, you have confidence in how yo

    Step 1: Wear a wig and dark sunglasses and buy a laptop (with cash while you still can) from a Walmart as far away from where you live as possible and never, never connect it to a network. Step 2: The rest is easy. Edit: You guys need to

    Many younger devs may have never lived outside of large, very-well connected cities (NY, Chicago, West Coast, etc.). They may assume that everyone has the connectivity and speeds that they do, or in the least they may not fully understand w

    That and other things too. It's definitely the new C IMO. I like how the author contrasts it with Java, "There were many things that did not copy across due to the comparative richness of the Java libraries..." . Of cour
