For what it's worth, a GSL developer later reopened that GitHub issue and stated that they're going to look into fixing the UB. Sutter may have just been stating an assumption. https://github.com/microsoft/GSL

How do you define a trait that is itself generic? Like: trait ConvertTo[T]: fun convert(self) -> T; Seems to create a single trait ConvertTo, for a generic type with a [T] argument, rather than allowing one to define separ

If all you're doing with a bunch of cash over 18 years (!) is holding it in a bank account to collect interest, you're just losing money to inflation. Bank interest is almost nothing. Better to hold stocks, or at the very least bo

No, I'm not talking about moral hazard at all. I'm just talking about the poor effectiveness. If it were highly effective, like PreP and birth control are, there would be no issue in my mind.

No, but it should only last 10 years or so. Copyright in general is good as it provides economic incentive to produce new creative works. But copyright lasting or exceeding the length of people's lifetimes has done more harm than good

Kotlin seems to have eaten Scala's lunch, for many organizations in the "JVM-but-not-Java" camp. Also, non-backwards-compatible language changes fragmented the Scala ecosystem. Combined with the general trend of functional pr

You're confusing translation and interpretation. A compiler is merely translating your code into a lower-level form. (There is a degree of heuristic-based interpretation that goes into generating good code, but the code's observab

I don't mean that to say that anyone outside the US is suspicious. Just that parent commenter might be from one of a set of countries that tend to be flagged as suspicious. (But I did not want to directly ask him where he lives.)

Are you outside the US? And/or are you using VPN? Those are the two things that come to my mind that can cause overzealous security monitoring to flag someone. Another explanation could be the content itself. Does your game have anythi

A computer spends the vast majority of its time and memory in userspace, so this tradeoff isn't as bad as it sounds.

That quote is from a play, and was written by a character who is a revolutionary and an anarchist. In a meta-sense, I don't think G.B. Shaw intended this quote to be taken as an absolute truth by the audience. And, even taking the quot

I disagree. The article very clearly makes it sound like there is some reason RudderStack ought to be listed by name in the privacy policy of the Stardust app. When in reality, it would make no more sense to list them by name, than it would
