If it’s not open source or you are not compiling it:
Why so much fear about the shell script but no fear from the executable?
If it’s open source and you are compiling it:
If you don’t fear the project because you (presumably) have read the source code and determined that it’s fine, why fear a shell script that is most certainly simpler, and you can read it like the rest of the code?
There never was a time when feminazis didn’t exist. The amount of them might have changed over the years. But there have always been.
EDIT: I meant feminist in the sense of “people that call themselves feminist but just want to kill all men or similar”.
It was a dream when it wasn’t available. Once it existed, we saw the many flaws it had. That’s why statically strong typed languages still exist. And even new ones are being created.
Jokes on you. Boost does not support spoilers, making it 0 clicks.

What a bad take. Notepad was never meant to have formatting, as the post states. Notepad’s purpose was to open war text files as raw text. For formatted text, there was WordPad. What made notepad great is that it was the fastest and easiest way to just know what is in the damn file.
It’s not. Numbers are arranged (both binary and base 10) with the most significant digit on the left.
Whether you read the number from left to right or right to left is irrelevant and you can choose whichever one you want.
But it is completely consistent with base 10 (normal numbers).
If you approve someone, you don’t need to explain yourself, you would just say “I agree with this guy”. There’s no substance to it.
However, if you downvote, you are saying “this is wrong”. Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you’re being a dick.
It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.
EDIT: I’m absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.
Yes, privacy should be the default. However, there is a limit for what is practical.
A VPN adds latency to your connection. It adds an additional failure point. If you don’t need it, why use it? Most people don’t need privacy at that level.
Additionally VPNs are not free.
For the ones that claim to be free, you have to remember that if you’re not paying, you are the product.
What privacy do VPNs provide to the average user when not doing anything illegal? Absolutely zero. You might claim “but VPNs hide my traffic from my ISP!” And it is true, but in doing so you expose it to the VPN provider. In the end, unless you operate your own network, you will have to tell someone where you are going. Using a VPN is just kicking the can.
Of course if your ISP is known for doing shady stuff and there is a VPN that you fully trust, it may be worth it.
But I swear the VPN industry has wiped people’s minds with millions of ads so they’re not thinking anymore.
As a rust developer I feel obligated by religion to make this comment:
Then you’d love rust! Rust only has “interfaces” (called traits) but doesn’t have inheritance. You just have traits that don’t inherit from anything and structs (that don’t inherit from other structs) that implement X amount of traits.
So you can have the good things about OOP without the bad ones.
And these traits allow you to make trait objects, which would be like regular objects in C# (with vtables for the methods). If 2 different structs implement the same trait, you can “downcast” them to a trait object and store them in the same array. Or pass it is an argument to a function that wants something that implements that trait but doesn’t care about the specific struct. You can of course cast it back later to the original struct.
The windows crate is full of Deref. Because the windows API is full of inheritance.
It may not be what the trait was thought of for, but I’m glad we have it to interface with APIs that have actual inheritance.
But if I have to make an Array I have to inherit from Indexable which inherits from Collection which inherits from Object! How else am I supposed to implement an Array?
I know this thread is old. But I disagree with you.
I agree that depending on how you use a debugger, some race conditions might not happen.
However, I don’t agree that debuggers are useless to fix race conditions.
I have a great example that happened to me to prove my point:
As I was using a debugger to fix a normal bug, another quite strange unknown bug happened. That other bug was indeed a race condition. I just never encountered it.
The issue was basically:
And so handling the session start and session end at the same time resulted in a bug. It was more complicated than this (we do use mutexes) but it was along those lines.
We develop in a lab-like condition with fast networking and computers, so this issue cannot happen on its own. But due to the breakpoint I put in the session initiation function, I was able to observe it. But in a real world scenario it is something that may happen.
Not only that, I could reproduce the “incredibly rare” race condition 100% of the time. I just needed to place a breakpoint in the correct place and wait for some amount of time.
Could this be done without a debugger? Most of the time yes, just put a sleep call in there. Would I have found this issue without a debugger? Not at all.
An even better example:
Deadlocks.
How do you fix a deadlock? You run the program under a debugger and make the deadlock happen. You then look at which threads are waiting at a lock call and there’s your answer. It’s as simple as that.
How do you print-debug a deadlock? Put a log before and after each lock in the program and look at unpaired logs? Sounds like a terrible experience. Some programs have thousands of lock calls. And some do them at tens of times per second. Additionally, the time needed to print those logs changes the behaviour of the program itself and may make the deadlock harder to reproduce.
Good rule of thumb. As long as it’s not followed blindly of course.
Structs with lifetimes are often quite convenient. Especially for performance.
Well that’s because it isn’t lol.
My guess is, if the USA method was better:
The USA would sanction countries until they adopted it. They would embed it in the national flag and insert it in the national anthem. They would make underwear out of it and put stickers on their 20yard-long cars.
If you fear both, and
curl | shis a red flag. Binary blob is also a red flag, if you fear them both equally.Has every software that runs in your computer been compiled by you?
