How can you be so unethical! All the negative number are left out! They already go through life with the stigma of being negative and now you just ignore them! Instead they should be celebrated and elevated in affirmative action! I propose therefore that the privileged positive number be dropped altogether and to use fuzzy logic based entirely on negative numbers!
However, if you look at modern C++, there is a smaller, cleaner, safer language emerging. Using it requires discipline since you need to avoid all of the other stuff that's still there because it can't be taken away. I'm actually really enjoying C++ since C++11, and it's still getting better.
Well, that is good to know. Of course, they should pack all the problematic stuff away into some "#pragma oldstuff" or the like and define a clean, simple and clear core language. Then I would take another look. Don't get me wrong, I do know that there is a sane core in there in C++, the problem is just that most people working in C++ do not know this or understand what it is and end up using and abusing the really problematic stuff. Also, have they finally fixed the virtual function dispatch performance mess?
There are areas where the utterly borked C++ is king?
Yep. Areas populated by grown-ups, who need performance but for some inexplicable reason don't want to spend all their time micromanaging a computer by hand when it can be done programmatically.
Since one does not have to do anything with the other, you are clearly clueless. Just could not keep silent, could you?
Indeed. One of the few actually insightful statements so far. Also, very often a specific language is used because it is hyped or because the developers you have cannot do anything else.
There are areas where the utterly borked C++ is king?
Lots and lots of them. Basically anywhere you need the low-level performance and control of C, but need the greater productivity provided by an object-oriented language.
That one is a myth. This "greater productivity" does not exist. It is however that lots of semi-smart people went looking for it, and then found they could not back out again. In true human fashion, they then claim that the mistake they made was actually a good move.
Indeed! We need to ban the discriminatory if-then construct! And what about other actions that are left out completely? This cannot stand. We need a "do everything" construct and drop all this other toxic nonsense.
This is a SJW language. How dare you imply only people that are perfect with if-then constructs are welcome? Of course all that face some challenges with this clearly advanced construct are welcome to contribute wherever they like as well, of course!
Indeed. They would probably need to create fictional losses if there were no real ones. The higher the risk-perception and the lower the actual risk, the better for their business.
Hehe, nice! In other news, a hammer pretty much has looked the same for a long time now. At some point a technology is mature and does not change very much anymore.
It is really a pity you cannot really do long-term wagers. I would have gotten rich on "flying cars for everybody" alone. And human-like AI would probably be my next fortune.
It is overactive human imagination, nothing else. For starters, why would an interstellar probe have an elongated shape? That is for atmospheric vehicles. These astronomers seem to be not very smart.
Ah, yes. I am a "troglogyte" with my own PostFix installation, custom Spamassasin configuration and RBL. And I prefer to see some stuff and will not add a custom rule for it.
Yeah, I got about 20 of these too. The quality kept deteriorating though, the first ones at least had a password that had not been in use for several years. The later ones sometimes came with an empty password I had supposedly been using and "improved" text with more grammar mistakes.
I think it is time the companies that did not secure this data properly are held to account. Say $500 compensation to each customer affected. And maybe the CEO and CISO behind bars for a year or so in punishment unless they can prove they did everything that can be reasonably expected to secure the data.
The companies not securing this data properly must be held to account, and it _must_ hurt. Something like a general $500 compensation to anybody affected (without the need to prove any damage) would do the trick. Sending those responsible to prison for a year or so would do it as well.
As it is at the moment, they just continue their shoddy practices,because nothing happens to them and not securing this data properly is far, far cheaper.
The reason this has not be done is simple: There is no rational reason to do it. The only ones having trouble with the occasional unexplained loss is the public. It is not a relevant problem to anybody rational. Far too rare.
They're certainly not going to spend that much just because one (1) pilot (probably) went psycho and deliberately evaded tracking. There have been other cases of pilots going psycho and crashing the plane, but only one was able to hide the plane too. And if you saw some shit going down, what would you do about it anyhow?
Indeed. Insurers (and that is what it comes down to) can live very well with the occasional unexplained loss. It is just the general public that has trouble dealing with reality.

But clueless people keep looking for it. Always the same with those that mistake technology for religion that will solve all problems in magic ways.

You have nothing to say but could not keep your mouth shut? You should complain to your parents for failing in your upbringing...

Rust is an interesting language. It's the first credible attempt to displace C++ in areas where C++ is king.
There are areas where the utterly borked C++ is king? That language is so badly designed it is staggering.

You seem to overlook that these get more and more specialized and lose general applicability.

Bullshit.
Sadly, all these great insights tend to vanish for me when the blood-alcohol level drops again...

Just a lot of people with over-active imaginations this time though.

You are a fucking idiot.
Nice. Some people still have it and know how to do these things.

If aeronautics engineers ditch one of the redundant fuel pumps,
Found another clueless poster. Why do you think that pump is there?
You and any equipment safety engineer and insurer. This possibility will not go away any time soon.
