Squeak squeak!
Just get corn-on-the-cob, it will self-pop after this mess.
Careful what you wish for, the plutocrats always find a way to make us plebeians bail them out.
Don got a gold bar in his knickers after hearing that.
"algorithmic funds" have been around for a long time. Letting neural nets guess rather than a hand-coded algorithm guess is not much different, conceptually. It's generally the type of investment that "high rollers" select.
"I've seen the pictures" says another American who figures using the internet amounts to actually living life, going places, being less of a moron.
Seasoned C programmers create memory bugs all the time. I mean, the idea that "experience" leads to perfect code is bananas. There's a reason why static analysis is used in any serious environment. Rust just makes that part of the language without an annoying about of tooling/pipeline cruft.
The problem is he had never put much thought into how to actually manage memory in a reasonable way in C. This is why C code is bad, because C programmers never ask themselves, "How do I not leak memory?"
Honestly this reads like you've never worked with real programmers.
"Insightful" because this place is full of old people who really overestimate their abilities to know what is good.
The world is moving on, buddy. C is "fine" in so far as how amazing you are at writing code that doesn't have memory access issues. I'm not shitting on C. But Rust isn't crap - it's really very good and there's a reason why the active generation of big stakeholders (Linux kernel devs, MS, and way way beyond) are chuffed about the value it brings.
Ah, that's an interesting detail (one I agree with) - thank you for pointing that out.
If you need to force people to promote / accept your culture, you should be asking why people prefer other cultures and address those issues instead.
Need is too strong a word. Want is the word. And mostly its there to force content publishers to protect a culture - given the balance of size of American popular culture, American content providers, etc
Media/culture is not some giant buffet where people walk in and just take (and pay for) the plate they want.
Somebody forgot to validate the word-count
"AI will save Linux from Rust"
MBA 1: "Hmm, how can we squeeze more revenue out of this gizmo?"
MBA 2: "Short term revenue or long term?"
MBA 1: "Short term of course! It's all we do."
MBA 2: "Then stuff it with more ads!"
MBA 1: "Brilliant!
"Taiwan is booming"
Especially when Xi goes to grab it.
Regardless of whether a mission expands or contracts, administrative overhead continues to grow at a steady rate.
