    I once had auto reset enabled on my phone after 10 attempts, and then somehow while it was in my gym bag it proceeded to accidentally get buttons pressed and reset itself. Better t…

    > Is now impossible I don't see how that is so. C++ 17 allows new Widget to complete and then the priority() call to execute and throw before both are passed to shared_ptr(), thus …

    I'm not arguing this change as good or bad, but the pattern of one or two key people deciding something and others getting on board to implement it is common.

    maybe, but most ransomware attacks aren't via zero-days but via simpler means. Also ransomware infects a whole network and so part of the cause is systems that allow that.

    I don't know why you are being downvoted. The best solution here is for the author to admit using log was a bad idea and rewrite an entirely different version.
