This could use a [2014] tag, even as the conclusion is evergreen.

I think most "Programming 101" classes _have_ ditched C. I haven't heard of any current intro classes being taught in C.

> but that's a nonstarter for some reason

Yes, welcome to the nash equilibrium of polarized first past the post politics.

I would say that, at least in current US politics, it's more like a tyranny of the minority, abusing the system to increase the relative disparity of power.

That only really works if it can hide harrassment from you automatically

Worth noting that several of the bugs this exploit depends on were fixed earlier this year.

I think python also takes the approach where strings must be valid unicode. Both Rust and Python use their String types to represent valid unicode, and something else ([] and byte strings, respectively) to represent other encodings and invalid unicode.

Happy to see this finally getting some traction on HN. I finally finished all of the puzzles a couple of days ago and I'm confident I'm going to file this one under the same file as Go: Fun to play, but even better to watch more skilled players analyze.

My dude, we get it, you like your IDEs. You don't have to mention it in every comment thread.

If you find Visual Studio and CLion to be your desired work environments, both of them have support for Rust code via extensions. No it won't be as perfect as what you're used to, but it will be more than sufficient for most people.

It's important to remember that C++ doesn't define an ABI, so you'd have to focus on specific compilers' ABIs.

"Via Standard Interface" I don't think you can gloss over the differences between say DirectX and Metal that easily. Maybe you're arguing they should be gotten rid of, but I think that's rather pie in the sky.

Just a note: it sounds like you're conflating "artistically" and "technically" in the phrase

  [...] can make something that artistically is miles beyond Steamboat Mickey and Snow White.

Just because someone can make things that look better doesn't mean that they're better art, especially as that's almost entirely subjective.

Because Riot means Riot Games to a substantial portion of the internet.

Debug and release builds probably call slightly different sets of methods, so they might end up with slightly different heaps. That might be enough to cause a difference in offset between the builds.

I mean, doesn't California tax you even if you live somewhere else but work in California?

Given the degree of changes required in some codebases, I think some teams would rather treat it as a rewrite job.

Even moving large enterprise codebases from python 2 to python 3 is taking so long they had to push that deadline back years. Given the distance you'd have to cross to push an older C++ codebase to something with similar guarantees as Rust, I don't know if any company would voluntarily cross that gap.

Note that the coal arm (Burner Inserter) will feed itself if it can.

You could try the "Brave New World" scenario. In it you don't have a body, just robot friends.

On the other side of a list of small mods, here's some cool modpacks I've enjoyed:

- Space Exploration (go to space!)

- Industrial Revolution (intermediates galore!)

- SeaBlock (Start from nothing!)

A notable exception to this is uranium and modded Factorio. In particular, Angel's Petrochem has a bunch of those loops. If you're interested in trying it I recommend Factorio SeaBlock.

The factory must grow

To be clear, that's not because there are no cheaters. They've just finally implemented a behavior score and shadowbanned suspected cheaters and toxic players that way, with some help from the player- trained ML mentioned upthread.

I regret to inform you that SOAP's death has been limited to open source. Enterprise continues to eat it up.

There's a nice video about this on the minutephysics channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XLXg4fYsc

It's worth noting that these are predatory lending apps, not microfinance loans from places like Kiva [0].

This could use a (2018) in the title. The original discussion was started Dec 2017, and the last comment was made Jan 2018. The recent change was the discussion getting locked in Mar of this year.

Have you ever used serde-json[0]?

It's worth noting that a significant number of mortgages were made without federal backing[1]. Any conception of the financial crash has to deal with the way that unregulated investment drove itself to new heights looking for better ways to invest money.

The title has been changed from the original. The original title is "Your Professional Decline Is Coming (Much) Sooner Than You Think"

According to archive.org this piece has been around since at least 2017. Not sure if it was written before then though.
