Likely aimed at financial departments which often (in my experience) love to do everything in Excel.

I was talking more generally about LLMs here
I’ve found they’re great as a learning tool where decent docs are available. Or as an interactive docs you can ask follow up questions to.
We mostly use c# and it’s amazing at digging into the MS docs to pull out useful things from the bcl or common patterns.
Our new juniors got up to speed so fast by asking it to explain stuff in the existing codebases. Which in turn takes pressure off more senior staff.
I got productive in vuejs in a large codebase in a couple days that way.
Using to generate actual code is insanely shit haha It is very similar to just copy pasting code and hacking it in without understanding it.
I think with http request failures losing the status code can be a real pain. There’s a big difference between 400, 401, 404 and 500 for instance.
I wouldn’t call bad readability a loaded gun really. Your dev tools will hopefully make it pretty easy to learn the type. It should be a minor inconvenience at best.
No they literally had a documentary crew with them when they were trying to solve the case.
The problem with dynamic typing is you can’t always figure out what the type is even with investigation as it can be lots of things based on what is passed or returned. It also allows incorrect values to be passed.
People will indeed make that readability argument but if the type is not obvious and important to understanding the code then it likely shouldn’t be used there.
auto isn’t dynamic typing it’s just type inference. It still has a fixed type you just don’t have to write it. Like var in C#.
Lambdas are just a way of defining methods in place. It has nothing to do with callbacks.
But you’re spot on for memory safety. Managing it yourself is risky and if it can be managed at zero cost it seems stupid not to.
It’s not a thing in other countries
At the end of the day if they can afford it and don’t want to change you’ve got to ask yourself if it really matters?
I know it’s silly to pay over the odds for something but it’s up to them really.
Real life trolling is much more fun!
You can turn an entire party against you by insisting jaws is a documentary.
It has an orange end and triggers on it which marks it as a toy gun. So they’d be fine most likely. But it’s still a stupid move.
There’s loads of options.
Plenty of science that could potentially save us if invested properly.
Lab grown meat. Carbon capture. Using said carbon capture for building materials. Nuclear fusion. Outer atmosphere energy generation. Etc.
There’s also cutting back on our consumerism.
Once it gets bad enough that it affects the super rich the world’s governments will miraculously and quickly act as one.
There’s a trend of blaming all mistakes on autism. It’s kind of like a nothing is my fault type thing. People I know with autism definitely do it sometimes but I get the feeling many people who don’t have it do it as well.
My son went through a similar phase recently where he decided he believed in God but he only used it to blame everything on God.
So he’d trip up and say “Thanks God!”.
You’re unpleasant to talk to.
I guess you can argue it’s already written in C. So that was always a requirement.
I mean I’ve still yet to hear a reason not to use rust tbf.
But yes that’s what working in a team is like.
I have to do stuff at work so I don’t fuck over the frontend team. I don’t throw a little tantrum about it.
I think the point is they aren’t forcing it at all. It’s being used with the blessing of Linux Jesus and the others are just throwing their toys out of the pram because they don’t want to learn it.
Someone else linked the video on this post. They are rude as hell and the rust dev isn’t even asking them to use it.
Again I think that’s a bad attitude towards technology. Use the best tool for the job and you’d get used to the syntax pretty quickly.
It’s like someone who started on python not wanting to learn a c style language.
It is literally being pushed for its technical merits and traits.
Memory safe code with comparable performance in the kernel seems like an absolute no brainer.
Also if you watch the video all he’s asking for is consistent interfaces for the file systems. He’s not even trying to get them to use rust. And the guy starts screeching about how he’ll code however he wants.
Is it wrong to expect a consistent and well documented interface?
Pretty sure C is actually being pushed against its technical merits here.
If I remember correctly the first one looked at dates of trumps and biden events. I feel he was just a crazy that wanted to make a name for himself.
