oh yeah, the article that explains that mistake and failure aren't the same thing doesn't contradict your point that mistake and failure are the same thing. man, I'm so glad you cl…

this is about as perfect an example of the problem as you can have.

it's not clear to me that you read or understood the article, all of your posts certainly feel as if you didn't. He explained why 0 isn't the goal, you continue to act as if he did…

there's a reason people say things like "actions speak louder than words". It's easy to say "safety is about tradeoffs" but then when you follow it up with an insistent that no tra…

oh snap guys, do you see what he did there in his parley? The way he took my point and pretended I was saying something else and that I really agreed with him. That technique so go…

It's always easy to make a decision when you're not the one paying the cost for it, or don't imagine you will be. In fact, one of the red flags for decision makers is the inability…

We do have information. the guy is a whistleblower, went to court day 1, missed court day 2, and was found dead in his vehicle of unnatural causes. attaching the adjective vacuous …

lets not split hairs, if the redundancies kick in then the instrumentation didn't go away. > That is bad. But not as bad a FBW system bug. The event in question is better than the …

If you can't understand how the expense of doing that may be onerous on a business then you shouldn't be let anywhere near decision making.

It's not a non sequitur so much as it was a preparation to make the point I'm about to make. There is no world in which two institutions with plenty of money, knowledge, and a lack…

ok that's a scenario I didn't fully consider, lmao. but humor aside, the point stands. safety/security is about tradeoffs.

> We see no realistic path for an evolution of C++ into a language with rigorous memory safety guarantees that include temporal safety. The point Herb was making is that "rigorous …

> I have to say, this sentence annoys the heck out of me. > Old code that can't be understood needs to be rewritten anyway. I don't think it's that old code can't be understood, yo…

perhaps you should try the steelman technique rather than interpreting his words through a lense of negativity.

> Of the remaining crates which use "unsafe", the unsafe code is often contained to a tiny percentage of the code, so if we're looking at the overall amount of unsafe code, you're …

how would you define concurrent access to a filesystem? That's a serious question, if I open a file for reading and another process writes to it, exactly how is the C++ standards s…

that's how you get companies to stop upgrading and eventually end up sitting on a 20 y/o version of C++. 2nd and 3rd order thinking is a thing.

right, so what you decide to do is quit your job and never leave the house so no one ever has the opportunity to break into your house. Does the cost of doing so justify being 100%…

> Not to mention the weird conclusion that since no language has 0, that isn't the goal. I'm not sure I understand the logic that you shouldn't at least _try_ to not have any major…

does it matter? under what circumstances is it acceptable for your instrumentation to go away? none is the answer. If the event was caused by the instrumentation going away it's ba…

which makes sense, if someone made an impression on you that impression doesn't disappear in just a few days. At best it may be fuzzier, which could be good or bad.

> The right are known for lying with the truth which makes a good amount of their rhetoric stick. replace right with humans, the left is also known for lying, which is why both sid…
