I just wrote that as an observation, and I did not mean to offend the parent. Now, let me explain why I felt that way. First and foremost, the phrase "undefined behavior" only appl…

Most HN users already use languages with GC which are more memory safe than Rust. People still use C++ either because they are maintaining existing code, or they work in domains wh…

Most (if not all) of your posts here on HN boil down to "C/C++ bad, Rust good". I wonder what you are trying to achieve by this, but I assure you that this does not do Rust any fav…

Funny how the HN submission has more points than the original SE question.

Just curious: Why didn't you email the moderators?

Can someone shed some light on why the parent comment (by varjag) is downvoted?

I think this problem can be solved using either a linter or formatter-like tool that makes naming consistent before the code gets committed.

Not parent, but take a look at these: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32117148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39641552 These threads are absolutely painful to read. The …

AI is probably the only field in science where even scientists behind the thing talk like salesmen. Hinton in particular comes off as a dishonest person: he clearly knows what he s…

The thing is, these problems rarely arise for programmers who daily code in C++. People who don't use C++ love to enumerate different C++ gotchas. In reality, most C++ projects def…

Could you explain what Fedora does better than the Debian-family of distros? I find Fedora's overall performance to be worse than other distros (including Ubuntu).

> "but we don't know how often it happens!"-bollocks I am not sure why you describe that as bollocks. The most surprising part of the xz backdoor is that it was discovered by sheer…

> I would say that you want more than 32 bit pointers Fil-C uses fat pointers to retain bounds and type information to make existing C code safe (typical C is filled with pointer a…

There is hardly any difference between indices into vectors and isoheaps (ie. an allocator that reuses the same pool for the given type). Except that the latter is faster and much …

If preventing remote code execution is the goal, then C/C++/Zig can also achieve this using isoheaps (see Fil-C[1] for example). Even without isoheaps, CFI mitigations are able to …
