I believe you are understanding the opposite of what was said. I understood it as "there cannot be trust anymore" - mostly because different people are at risk of becoming a victim in different ways: from a crime itself, or from b

Trying to convince people usually makes any resistance worse. Using it, solving problems with it, and building a real community around it tend to make a much greater impact in the long run.

There is a large difference between "I do not think this is a good idea" vs "do not do this", in particular given the position Hellwig has in the kernel as a listed maintainer of the DMA mapping helpers. No single techni

If you search for "concurrent hash table <language>" or "concurrent map <language>" (being <language> Rust or C++) you get a number of open source libraries written using different techniques. I conside

You can easily write a concurrent hash table in C++ or Rust. I fail to understand your point.

I read this article and the original one. I don't see any reasoning besides "I think it's not really needed". The reasoning in the original article is shallow at best, and the presented alternatives are not discussed in

I would want this over docker and docker-compose any day. I've been using docker compose in production for a couple of years now and it adds another layer on top of systemd that is a continuous source of headache, especially during upd

It's not the punishment but the likelihood of being punished. Even if the punishment is not that severe, a high probability of being caught is a much greater deterrent.

I don't see how this reasoning makes any sense: you just need to look at the actual clock time to find out if the alarm went off or not. For instance: alarm set for 8 AM. You wake up, look at the clock: if it says 7:59AM or earlier, yo

Algebraic effects are going to put OCaml on a next level in terms of expressivity, abstraction and decoupling capabilities of separate tasks. It would be like going from a type system like C, with only concrete types, to parametric polymorp

Any language with a large enough lexical set or enough meta-programming capabilities can be classified as "write-only" from the point of view of non-experienced users. It's the everlasting battle between learning curve and ex

This looks like someone trying to build a story with snarky comments and funny observations to get audience interested. The parts about C sound amateurish indeed.

The queue is a single contention point which will have a considerable overhead unless the work takes a long time to execute (ie, enqueue is infrequent). This kind of approach is usually not what you want: either you want to spawn threads as

Dumping a big database continuously for any reason (including backups) is a terrible design decision.

Please stop talking about Brazil as a single reality. Murder rate is completely different across state lines. And guns play zero role into the causes, as others have already pointed out. Any serious analysis on USA is done in a per-state ba

I never understand this kind of reasoning. Sure, C++ has exceptions, but you are not forced to use them. Just because you go to a restaurant and they have dessert on the menu it doesn't mean you have an obligation to order it. In fact,

C++ template system is too generic (Turing complete), and it is usually the one to blame for the verboseness of error messages. Something like Concepts would probably make it more like a proper "generics" mechanism and allow bette

The article is indeed interesting when it goes to the GC/allocation part and it's a nice read, but it really gets C++ wrong when talking about values/references. C++ is not "reference oriented language" the same way
