Red Hat employs a significant number of GCC core devs.

So why did they have you fill in that field then?

"I'm sorry" can mean "I am apologizing" but often it instead means "I feel bad". It depends on context which applies. "I'm sorry for how you feel" without more explanation often so…

RFCs can be titled Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) or policies once they are accepted.

Counterpoint: Shaded spots at work parking lots in Texas fill up the fastest. Conspicuously so. Also, use of windshield visors is much more prolific than in cooler climates. I can'…

Also the U.S. Constitution allows for a full rewrite by a constitutional convention process. This hasn't been attempted, of course.

> In what way(s) does Rust's C interop depend on cargo? Do rust and cargo allow for multiple interpretations of the same C header file across different objects in the same program?…

Sanitizers are technically dynamic analysis. They instrument built programs and analyze them as they run.

> It’s basic expense fraud. I'm making the case that mandatory unpaid overtime is effectively wage theft. It is legal in the US because half of jobs there are "exempt" from the usu…

Are you saying the mentality is offensive? Or is there a business justification I am missing? Note that employers do this as well. A classic one is a manager setting a deadline tha…

That might be a good tip, but people do get signals from their bodies when running a nutrient deficit. People crave calories when in a calorie deficit. And they crave carbohydrates…

Yeah, story points approximate effort, so it's fairly impossible to be 10x on those. JIRA has a notion of business value points, and you could make up similar metrics in other proj…

I understand this concern, but at the same time it's not hard to write clang-query statements for the ones you care about. Sometimes it is even a regex! And it's not too expensive …

State government, local government, and local philanthropy (like the chamber of commerce, etc.) could also buy lunch. I'd rather keep the dysfunction of national politics away from…

Strawmen usually have stupid philosophies, yes. The simpler and more convincing explanation is that lawmakers write bad laws, regulators write bad regulations, and everyone votes o…

Excellent question. Maybe people will use this newfound productivity to actually review, test, and document code. Maybe.

Weigh yourself every day. Journal it. This sets up an objective metric to calibrate against. Set medium term goals. Don't try to lose 20 kilos in six months. Lose the next kilo by …

I was making a narrow comment that you can turn on VLAs, off exceptions, etc., with C++ flags on publicly available compilers regardless of what the C++ language specification and …

You can do everything you describe in C++. Even the language features are available (or diableable) as compilation flags.

I have no special information, but some of these seem targeted at least partially to internal marketing and morale. For instance, I have seen what appear to be employees (probably …

I don't see why all software roles are seen as in the same category. There is a huge difference between the difficulty level and experience requirements in different tasks and role…

Modules alone do not guarantee one definition per entity per linked program. On the contrary, build systems are needing to add design complexity to support, for instance, multiple …

5) Weather. If it's under -20 C or over 40 C, walking five blocks is unpleasant for anyone and dangerous for some. Especially if the walk is unsheltered, which it typically is.

Most of the disagreements are fundamentally metaphysical (would God make fossils?), so debates about evidence, expertise, and scientific consensus are beside the point.

For what it's worth, I get the same experience you're describing with statically typed python wired up to mypy. Not that rust and python have the same feature set in other ways.
