C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can’t do is perform as poorly as python.

They wanted to make an example of someone. His thumbing his nose at the US government was well publicised, so they made their revenge on him very public too.

Expected work hours seem to be increasing everywhere over the last twenty years or so. It’s gotten pretty nuts.

It seems like the peer review process is broken too.

Yes, that’s the difference between “safer” and “actually safe”.

It’s also a fallacy that rust code is memory safe. I audited a couple of large rust projects and found that they both had tens of unsafe constructs. I presume other projects are similar.

You can’t use “unsafe” and then claim that your program’s memory safe. It may be “somewhat safe-ish” but claiming that your code is safe because you carefully reviewed your unsafe sections leaves you on the same shaky ground as c++, where they also claim that they carefully review their code.

Kaliningrad’s fairly strategically useless to them now that every surrounding country’s NATO though. The Suwałki Gap between Kaliningrad and Belarus used to be pivotal in potentially re-taking control of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It would have been very difficult for NATO defend them if Russia took the gap. But now those countries are protected by NATO countries all around so Kaliningrad’s a lot less useful strategically. Not to mention that there’s a strong Kaliningrad independence movement so they’re struggling to control it internally as well.

This is what evil looks like, guys - and it’s our own reflection in the mirror

Java’s runtime has had a large number of CVEs in the last few years, so that’s probably a decent reason to be concerned.

That might be true of VHDL / Verilog programmers I guess.

Python’s become very widely used in industry - it’s definitely a plus when looking for jobs these days. TIOBE now says it’s the most popular language in the world.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.

I mean he should know since he was one of the people paying to influence the election.

Some things just sound like a horrible idea - because they are a horrible idea.
