But then it's weird to specify a location. Camrose is a town of 18,000 people – why not make it explicitly remote?
Yeah that's a really good point... Is this perhaps one of those hyper specific job postings so that a company can skirt some sort of regulation about hiring immigrants by saying they did a search? but why Apple? And why Camrose...
In Canada you cannot call a software developer engineer unless he/she is an actual engineer

This is a 'mindshare' game. D had its chance, now Rust has its chance. Would have been cool though if D had caught on more back in the day. Re-invention seems to be impossible to avoid in the software world.
For those not aware, Walter is the creator of D. I feel like this almost constitutes shitting on someone's Show HN post.

None of the big clouds use hardware network encryption. All of the resources in your network are at the leaves, so you might as well use their CPUs to do it. I think Google published that crypto and compression in their internal RPC stack cost them less than 1% of their global CPU resources.
That doesn't mean you're doing crypto with integer operations. Newer CPUs support AES in hardware.

If rust still has people talking about missing C++ for faster compile times I don't think anything has solidified yet.
All we seem to be doing is make more layers of gray goo and leaky abstractions that we then plumb together to attempt to make reliable systems. It still doesn't feel right to me.
Wow, outside Edmonton... WTF. Do they have a data center there?

Need a degree from an accredited school in engineering + pass the engineering licensing requirements. In Ontario, where I live, that means passing an ethics exam + some years of work that is overseen by someone with a P.Eng. The challenge in software is usually the last part.
Would this mean an engineer in the US who moves to Canada would not be able to practice without getting work accreditation and a license?

Was this a response to something else in this thread that you accidentally top-posted? It's cool, technically, but maybe a little off-topic.
I think it's just a shameless plug from the creator of D :)
D now has an Ownership/Borrowing system implemented (though it is in its early stages). It will work with existing code, including DasBetterC code. You're able to incrementally adapt a program to O/B rather than rewrite it.
