We can go further, I think it’s impossible to prevent memory leaks in a general purpose language

The Elm compiler
Lmao, what the heck. I’ve heard about that, but I still cannot believe it’s true.
Yeah, I changed my career direction (industry, tech stack…) but before that, my CV only was enough for me to get hired. They would just verify the information, and sometimes, there weren’t even a single tech interview.
I was so lucky in the interview for my current job: I’m working on a product with a big networking component, and I was asked to write an echo server with low level components. That was maybe the second time I had a test related to the job.
This: comparing something you buy once, with a license does not make a lot of sense. In SaaS, you get update, support, etc. For something critical, I’d rather get that than something that I buy once and may be buggued in the future.
What the actual fuck. It’s a made up story I’m sure.
It’s like someone has pooped on my screen.
Htmx is a godsend for that. You actually write HTML while having AJAX easily.
The desktop website is so bad… I ask for a light theme in my settings, they don’t care (it’s white on black) because it’s HARD to add a few CSS rules. Then there is a flash of light which could give a seizure to someone with a condition. It’s shitty design at its peak. That doesn’t really inspire confidence…
Firefox is really badly integrated in MacOS. The fn + arrow shortcut doesn’t work, for example, it’s not integrated in the menu system (the menu shortcuts don’t work) etc. But there is Sideberry, so…
Nope, my webpages are not just nested divs. I use nav, main, form, select, etc to name a few. I actually use very few JS. It’s mainly for communication with the server when I need AJAX to retrieve data.
It’s much easier to work with streams of untyped data in a weakly typed language.
Funny, I think C++ is literally the worst language to learn programming. I would go with JS or OCaml at first, then Rust if they need manual memory management.
This is especially true for steam… what a crappy app
What is “funny” is that I had the maximum password size thing on several bank websites (and a low one, at that). Fortunately, with 2FA, it doesn’t really matter I guess.
I think you’re right. I’m not an Apple fanboy (by far), but I’m very excited about that product for nomadic work purpose. I like to move a lot, and being able to work without having a desk or similar is incredible. I’m just a bit skeptical about a few points rn: that it isn’t comfortable when the weather is hot, that the battery is bulky or doesn’t last a day… but so far I’ve read everywhere that the tech is incredible.
The first article is funny, because I moved from my native country to the one right next to it, and everybody is confused by my name. They have one given name and 2 family names, while I have 4 first names, and a compound last name.
No need to travel to the other side of the planet to meet a different culture of naming.
Uh, they’re different, though. There is no C++ tool (AFAIK) providing an exhaustive check of ALL the data lifetimes. I even think it’s impossible, because their semantics are really different. Rust is move by default, C++ copy by default; Rust has no inheritance with its constructors, etc.
And here you’re only talking about a subset of memory leaks, by inaccessible memory. You can also leak memory by pushing new elements in a channel while never reading them for example.
