Jars are just awesome for cross-platform work or for when you need easy deployment. I oscillate between Java and Go now for similar tasks. They are both great for cross-platform and easy deploys/frequent updates. Go is better at system

Agreed. C++ is far safer than C and just as safe as rust. If the rust crowd was really serious about convincing C and C++ devs to move to rust, then they ought to have made the syntax identical (or at least much closer) to C than it current

Many corporations do this on their networks so that they can inspect traffic for security purposes and outbound loss prevention. It's not uncommon today and seems to be gaining in popularity. Edit: I don't mean to imply that it

"multiple mutable references" ... I would use C++ for this. I would not use rust if I had a design that required that ability.

Java has really come a long way. I'm not sure why it's not hyped more. I guess it's like C++ (another widely used old man's language that runs the world).

That's the issue with LSMs in general. They all work, but historically have been difficult to configure and impossible to maintain. That's changing. There used to be only one (SELinux), however, there's competition now from o

Debian 8. I find Tomoyo to be the most usable of the LSMs. You can be up and running in a few days with rather complex policies. I could not get Chrome to work with it. It just reads and writes all over the place in ways that are hard to ma

Digital is more narrow and compact and allows more efficient use of the spectrum in general. More transmissions, different uses, sharing, freeing space up for other allocations, etc. All of that is resource/demand driven. More people i

There is only one reason. It's much more efficient. Engineers have to keep slicing things thinner and thinner to accommodate more and more people and needs. This impacts everything . Food, water, shelter, medications, transportation,

I would start by getting the code to compile with g++, then begin migrating the dangerous C constructs to safe C++ constructs. IMO, that would be a safe, reasonable thing to do.

I believe several states in the USA have taken this approach already. Some states made the switch soon after the 2008 real-estate crash and market meltdown. They have the old plans for older employees and new hybrid/stock market based

The rust zealots say it is, "Better performance than C" That's from the linked article 'Rust is Software's Salvation' (bullet point 3).

by w8rbt 10y ago
I agree. C is fast because it can be unsafe. Skip all the safety checks and run like hell (if you need or want to). We don't care what size that array is, we just want to go really fast. Safety checks come with a performance cost. Rust

It may have been the origin of all of this. They setup a private email server that was insecure and poorly managed so that they would not be subject to FOIA, etc. It contained top-secret emails. No one disputes that. Why could that not have

All of that will come after rust gets an ISO standard (like C and C++). Joking aside, C++ will be around forever and to a lesser degree, C will be too. They have 45 years of experience and revision. 50 years from now they'll probably s
