I did try it. It seems to me that I would have to invest too much time for not much benefit, I would rather learn a new programming language, listen to a talk or read a book than s…

Rust can also leak memory (memory leaks are memory safe in Rust).

Maybe nix ( https://github.com/NixOS/nix ) is a better tool for what you're looking for if you're on Linux, you can setup nix shells and work in them, what's installed inside the s…

I guess the reasoning behind this is that using a pattern (0xFE on GCC 12.2.0) is easier to recognise in a crash dump.

Ok, I see what you're saying here, still, Linux's way is better, I'd rather have my system cluttered with useless files of deleted programs than be exploited because of something t…

Why do Windows programs need special installers/uninstallers? Why isn't this handled by Windows itself?

Not necessarily a "safe compiler" but maybe safe library for containers and things like that. It seems to me that most if not all major C projects just run sanitizers and static an…

How difficult is it to make a compiler extension that remembers buffers' size and checks if we're overflowing at each access? It could be used at least just in debug versions of cr…

The thing is, you don't even lose that customer (only a tiny minority care about privacy issues), it's literally free money.

Isn't that (partly) the point of the upvote button?

I used Kate before for C++ development, there isn't much about it, it just gets the job done, I don't rely on the editor/IDE to do anything other than edit files so any editor work…

Use the upvote button instead of filling the thread with comments that add nothing to the discussion.

>or NixOS generation Yes! NixOS is perfect for the author's situation. But maybe his setup is so simple that a little bash script could work just fine.

I've never understood why people complain a lot about `std::cout > var`, data goes from the stdin to the variable.

Not a parent but I want to give my opinion anyway (I'm in my early 20s), my parents allowed me to use devices with minimal management; I can use them only after I finish homework (…

>C doesn't have this problem I don't think a strong type system is a `problem`, implicit conversions can lead to so many annoying and hard to find bugs.

I think I agree with you in that I am too feeling weird that Magnus decided to let go of his title, and unlike others like Bobby Fisher he is still playing chess.

It should be noted that one of the reasons this WCC was exciting is because of Richard Rapport who helped Ding Liren with his preparation, he is well know for being creative with h…
