He stills gets 12 months of salary? What?!

Are you a developer?

If libc isn’t linked into the process to begin with then none of that matters.

I thought this would be about the year 2000

I asked this question in a thread recently but I was too late in posting to receive a reply. The article being discussed mentioned offhandedly that rust has no formally defined mem…

I gather from your comment that you don’t do frontend. I don’t either. I also think it’s a waste of time. But I think you and I are not the intended audience. I think frontend peop…

The article says that Rust does not have a formally defined memory model. What is an example of a formally defined memory model?

If the length is bundled with the pointer as syntax then the compiler and maybe even the runtime can provide checking on behalf of the programmer. Passing it by hand means it’s the…

I suspect it’s because manual memory management in Java isn’t built into the language. Is it even possible? I’m not a Java programmer and I don’t know. My understanding has been th…

I asked this once as a take home for an interview. First, I copied the first hit for “implement binary tree in C” from google. I made sure it compiled and then deleted the implemen…

I’m not saying that you are or are not, because I don’t have any context, but consider that your feeling might be wrong. I mean, there’s the real possibility that you are a bad int…

I think what happened is that “My issue” was read incorrectly to mean “my point is” when it really means “my problem with”

I’m left wondering - at what point did Branch become bound to his destiny? After he found the knife, or after he looked in the mirror? Also, what drove him to seek the knife in the…

Riding a robot horse could be fun! Such a thing would likely have an easier time navigating complicated terrain than any vehicle with wheels.

I took it to mean authz. Never seen authR before either.

I think you’re mostly right but part of what the lawsuit is about as I understand it is the idea that Robinhood is encouraging the guy to use said complex financial products that w…

Hell no, this seems a terrible idea
