Checks out that this is a government deal, crappiest vehicle possible for the most money!!

It is a quandry, the kernel is predominantly C, Rust has demonstrated a path forward, producing safer code without sacrificing performance, but it is undeniable that a mixed code base is far harder to maintain, not impossible. Here's t

To be fair we are talking about an area of the country that is prone to seismic activity, it does limit the building materials. Perhaps what should be more commonly accepted is that the US is a land of great natural beauty! And large tracts

Pretty simple formula, there simply isn't a market for an $x upcharge on mail and docs, but we have to be part of this latest grift so we'll charge everyone $x - y which is a rounding error. Except it's not. At some point som

This is awesome, think of the opportunity! 41% of companies will behave entirely predictably and will be ripe to have their markets plundered.

Strange that the developer sphere of the W3 industry is not dominated by, you know, W3. <warning snark-level="epic" generalization-level="expansive"> Perhaps if they weren't gluing together unaudited component

I wonder if that fundamental change involves sacking their entire executive team for their incompetence and mismanagement, or whether they'll just shove it down the throats of regular employees?

All I'll say is: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

If only it were that simple!! Isn't the central problem that you're not allowed to sell in anybody elses house. I mean, if you're prepared to accept that you are leasing the device and that the lease will dictate what you can

I think there are plenty of people who have the same uncomfortable feeling. I used to see this sort of thing a lot at Apple and I used to classify the people concerned as those that work AT Apple rather than people that work FOR Apple.

A software glitch didn't ruin lives, a duplicitous organization with dishonest people at the helm ruined lives. The problems with Fujitsu's system were widespread and understood but the Post Office pursued these people regardless

Betrand Meyer is coming for you... ;-) He's not, he would respect your opinion, but design by contract was on of the key foundations of Eiffel, and I have a soft spot for Eiffel.

Given karismatic a prize. I wonder if the current state of affairs is what Chris L had in mind?

I think sometimes this exact point is lost in the context of a collection of programs that represent a system rather than simply in the context of a single program.

Whatever performance means is really interesting. One of the few unquestionable benefits of cloud computing is that it is now easier than ever to measure the 'running' cost of a program / solution. What Amazon charges for, sa

I think most people will have concerns about whether they can pull it off from a performance perspective. I am hoping that, just as UEs lead over unity, at least in the 3D space, is because it was developed as a consquence of creating games

Not suprising to hear three things: 1. The best programming language is the one you are probably using at the moment, although it assumes you would pick the right langauge for the job at hand. 2. Mixed language projects are problematic. 3.

Under whose leadership did this state of affairs come to be? Pathetic!!

It's unfortunate but true, there will be a lot of dross retained because they are seen as 'team players'. To me that translates to 'incapable of independent thought' and certainly not capable of pulling your ass out

Might be worth a conversation with Glen Fieldlers crew, perhaps a less naive presentation might follow.

My wife calls my stubborness 'Cultural Stamina', I think it's an excellent phrase that always raises a smile. I really enjoyed Haskell when I tried it years ago (2004) and I definitely agree that Rust is much more apropos to

That's a really helpful perspective. Thanks.

My CVE comment was very much tongue in cheek.

I did ok with Rustlings and I read the 'The Book', I'd say I am largely struggling with async and lifetimes. I have spent most of my career in C, C++, Objective-C and have recently tried Zig, which I enjoyed, possibly because

Is rusts most loved status simply Stockholm syndrome? I've really tried with rust, and we simply don't get on. I hear all the arguments about CVEs and wonder if rust will reduce the number of these problems simply by disabling the

Initial reaction is positive, but as with Blow's Jai, it seems like a programming language for the authors, and there's nothing particularly wrong with that; the ideological stance re FOSS, probably excludes it from any general pu
