You do understand they actually targeted whole apartment blocks in Iran, right? 10s of civilians dead. Not so sophisticated. Just criminals.

The best way to implement a text adventure in C would be to implement a simple lisp interpreter in C and then implementing the actual game in a lisp DSL. Lisp lends itself surprisingly well to this, and defining game logic declaratively ins

"Given"? Who do you think took the opportunity from the Iranian people in 1953? You have a very distorted idea of how it is to live in what you consider dictatorships. In fact, in most of those countries, people have a better idea

I started my first company based on Delphi, which itself was based on Turbo Pascal. Wirth was a great inspiration, and his passing is no small loss. May his work keep inspiring new programmers for generations to come. One of his quotes: &qu

From what I understand, it has nothing to do with morality or hurting Russia. The banking sanctions make it impossible to do financial transactions with the country, which effectively puts an stop on business relations.

Why do you bring Iran or NK into this? Let's get it straight: Until now, the only counties who have actually tried genocide on industrial scale, have performed inhumane tests on live subjects of other cultures or used Nukes on civilian

What are you even talking about? Not only is Iran a nation-state, it is probably one of the first nation-states to exist. The Name of the country itself is close to 2000 years old, and the language they speak is at least 1400 years old. The

Iran is an industrial country. That's why Venesuela's economy crumbled after a year of sanctions and Iran's has endured decades: They produce a huge amount of their needs locally. It also has the most sophisticated healthcare

Rust is a compiled language, so you will have to recompile. Incremental compilation helps to a certain degree. There is IDE tooling that helps with a lot of issues you may encounter, but in the end, you still have to recompile to run your c

Go is a significantly simpler language than Rust, and has a garbage collector. You can learn Go in a weekend, and experiment with it in a couple more. Rust on the other hand has a steep learning curve which will take at least a couple of mo

According to the article, 260 people are writing code for systems with strict specifications that do not change much over time. That's a significant constraint on the externalities they deal with. In contrast, most commercial programme

For a rangefinder style, there's the Fuji X100 series (the latest being X100V). They are not really pocketable though. But for a big sensor compact that is truly pocketable, nothing beats the Ricoh GR series with its APS-C sensor (the

I wish someone would take a web renderer, took the Javascript away, made a native react-like library for it, and made a universal interface to it so any language could use it. That would finally fix the problem with the UI building issue, w

The article is about debunking a few myths about Rust, and why C++ is NOT faster or safer than Rust. The title alludes to the opposite, and as such, is clickbait.

Go is special in that it is significantly simpler than all of these languages, while having a large overlapping domain of operation with each. I'm yet to see a single real-life money-making program written in any of the languages you

That is not my experience from using Go for nearly 10 years at all. Go actually has significantly removed the complexity of writing asynchronous and concurrent programs and has pushed it to its own runtime. At this moment in time, as a lang

If you compare Iran's victims to US's, Iran will come out as an untarnished Angel. Just in the last 20 years in the middle-east, we have Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and by proxy Syria and Yemen. Put together, even if one is generous
