It smells like they don't know what they're doing. Had a lol at the mission page accidentally implying their customers are unethical though:

> Ripe with fraud, labor exploitation, political polling manipulation; our customers demand the best tools and security ...

1. This seems like it's be far too tricky and make C++ even more footgunny, especially with references, move constructors, etc etc.

2. Name lookup and overload resolution is already so complex though! This will likely never be added because it's so core c++ and would break so much. imo, it also blurs the line between what's your interface vs what I've defined.

3. This is every junior c++ engineers suggestion. Having ABI breaks would probably kill c++, even though it would improve the language long term.

4. Again, you make solid points and I think a lot of the committee would agree with you. However, the committee's job is to adapt C++ in a backwards supporting way, not to disrupt it's users and API each new release.

There are definitely things to fix in c++ and every graduate engineer I've managed has had the same opinions of patching the standard, without considering the full picture.

Your comment makes no sense. If it was designed for non-null terminated strings, why would it specifically pad after a null terminator?

I looked up the actual reason for its inception:

---

    Rationale for the ANSI C Programming Language", Silicon Press 1990.

    4.11.2.4 The strncpy function
    strncpy was initially introduced into the C library to deal with fixed-length name fields in structures such as directory entries. Such fields are not used in the same way as strings: the trailing null is unnecessary for a maximum-length field, and setting trailing bytes for shorter names to null assures efficient field-wise comparisons. strncpy is not by origin a "bounded strcpy," and the Committee has preferred to recognize existing practice rather than alter the function to better suit it to such use.

As a c++ developer who's heard of Zig but never dived into it, I was reading this article scratching my head wondering what is it actually so unique about it.

Why the blog has a section on how it install it on the path is also very puzzling.

Sounds like a problem with poor code rather than something unique to OOP.

So more ambitiousness means you should get access to more user information?

> That's just terrible input validation and has nothing to do with setTimeout.

Except for the fact that this behaviour is surprising.

> you should be checking your input against the range that's valid. Your sample code simply doesn't do that, and that's why there's a bug.

Indeed, so why doesn't setTimeout internally do that?

This sounds like something which you have no evidence at all for claiming.

How is that related to this engineering post? I wish HN took action against people commenting wildy unrelated topics.

I imagine they also "discriminate" on skills and previous jobs you have too..

Why would anyone want that? Everyone would just quote a lot wider to make up for the potential volatility of the next minute, probably leading to worse trades for retail orders.

Ok...? Why would you start debating MDMA legality when someone's sharing their story?

Also, all the studies you linked are about using it in therapy vs using it at a rave?

If you asked the population if they would want immortality, the common answer wouldn't be "no".

> to keep the foot from sliding

So you obviously have never used clip in bike pedals before. Why are you trying to argue this point if you know nothing about what you're talking about?

He manages the big bounty program. Why would you think he would be interested in your personal UX issues with the app?

France is a country, silly.

Hint: your comment can be interpreted as hostile/divisive.

So when someone comes along and modifies the enum definition in the header file while forgetting to update the toStr/fromStr/other helper functions, there won't be a production issue?

That's literally the first example in the blog...?

Sounds like a great way to hire academics rather than people with industry experience.

From your page:

> Imagine if – as a job applicant – you could put yourself right in front of the hiring lead, and tell them, in your own words, in your own time, without interruption or distraction or pressure, why you think you’d be an excellent person for the role. What kind of applicant would benefit the most?

A liar

If number end in 2 or 5, is divisible by 2 or 5. So number ending in 2 or 5 cannot be prime. Math no hard to understand!

This is a very silly comment. Slack has near 100% uptime and most people would consider that reliable.

Seems like you just googled some reliability article to make this comment? Lol

Problem solved until your boss calls you an idiot for storing fake nanosecond precisions.

This is you deflecting a valid question.

"Another missed chance to talk about X problem I find interest in and would bloat the article"

I wouldn't hold your breath on IBM releasing anything amazing in 2023.

It's hard to take you comment serious when you categorise Facebook and Dropbox as failed projects.
