I wish I had more than one upvote to give - what you just wrote is the truth of the matter.

It's not just you. The only thing I'm confused about is why more C standards keep coming out. C is what it is. Work with the archaic parts of it as need be. You use C for ultimate …

"I've turned down job offers because they were in C++" Yep

It's kind of like how we all have our favorite podcasts to learn about new things. When it's a topic we don't know much about it's so interesting and we learn so much, but when it'…

Most generally, I'm a developer of distributed systems. Usually these take the form of TCP/IP (and other non-IP) network overlays, and from a programming point-of-view using basic …

Location: DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) Remote: Hybrid preferred, but flexible for any arrangement. Willing to relocate: Probably not. Technologies: C, Rust, Python in Linux environ…

They are portraying the market exactly as it is. Reality is speaking for itself, not the realtors.

Solving for the equilibrium though, if the prices fall, more buyers will be available to compete, so it ends up right where it was before.

I observed that happening for about a 6-8 week period in Oct-Nov-Dec 2022, then the party returned like it was 2021 all over again.

No, which goes to say the price-escalations and white-hot housing markets are still a thing across North America, straight through the tech crash, bond crash, layoffs, and now bank…

Many of the Northern VA counties and certain others in the DC metro area.

I think this is generally correct. This is the situation in my area: Prices can never fall, because if the situation was such that prices would fall, no one sells. So there's basic…

The funny thing is, people were saying that in 2021... and then... interest rates doubled/tripled crippling affordability, people's net worth plummeted due to decrease in stock pri…

I just got an update from my realtor that, compared to 2021, houses are now getting 5-10 offers instead of 10-20. Every open house I go to is packed and has an offer deadline at no…

We have to remember that Rob Henderson is a performer running his shtick. At first I really liked him, and in general agree with his assessments of things. But he's just another gu…

It's just unfortunately becoming clear Python is going the way of C++.

I'm in a job now that mostly involves bare Linux network programming in C. The only dependencies are CMake, VS Code with C/C++ plugin, and the regular Linux libraries. No "sprints"…

Interesting discussion, lots of good points all around. Thanks to you both.

I think the point by kazinator still stands. C11 is still a portability issue (which was the root of my original question above). ANSI C is the de-facto baseline everything has in …

That's very interesting. Thank you.

I have a question I've always wanted to know but too embarrassed to ask (Especially because I've extensively used C for well over a decade now and am intimately familiar with it): …
