It doesn't matter if you're hauled in front of congress if 2/3 of them are on your payroll. This is certainly the case for Google, Amazon, and probably TikTok at this point. It's been true for big pharma for half a centu

Rusts ABI may as well not exist however. Rust can co-exist with C. Everything else that depends on C's ABI won't be able to play nicely with Rust without significant work from one side or the other.

Post like these are why the Rust community is mocked. C and C++ aren't over. They probably never will be. The correct answer is that the author chose two languages to support because it's their library. It is, indeed, strange a bi

Tacos are an embarrassingly parallel problem after all. It makes sense TacOS would naturally be a thing. It might even need to be hard real time because hangry customers can get a little cagey.

I don't understand the downvotes. This is a fair criticism. The author even points out "programs as pipelines" which is literally the UNIX philosophy. There are tools that already exist on UNIX-likes more people should use

There's really no way to relate rifling/etc to a specific gun. Unless it was forged in some bespoke process that can also be accessed and replicated the rifling pattern will look like 100,000 different guns. Other analysis is also

Not a justification and only pure speculation but what if there's another reason? You can't think that the NSA and CIA are stupid. They know its bunk science that has been disproven 1,000 times over. But the psychological effects

I'm not convinced a "common" C program would ever do such a thing. Even the "Effective C" book (one of the best books on C, imo) discusses why this is wrong and why you should take advantage of `limits.h` for bounds
