And as opposed to your snide, and rude remarks... Yes I have a 4 year degree, and it had lots of math. So please either reply objectively, or please don't reply, at all.
Almost every language that has been tossed out in these posts is written in C, some in C++, including the language in question!
A few, a very few, are written in the ISA's version of assembler.
I see the biggest part of the problem comes from CompSci people trying to get their PHD and needing to do something, hell, anything to complete their dissertations!
C is a tiny language, C is compact, C is lightning fast, and C has saved my bacon more than once in my career.
If you can't write it in C, you shouldn't be writing code, anywhere! Be a plumber! Be an electrician, be an HVAC person, be any of the high paying jobs that this country is crying out for! Use your education, become the owner of any of those types of companies, but please, leave writing code, to those of us who started with assembler, learned C after that and can write any kind of code you want or need, and yes that includes everything.
I really have to vehemently disagree with you contention of:
A simple example would be C and C++'s never ending supply of bugs related to dangling pointers, memory leaks etc., many of which are caused by inherent default choices in the language.
If I were to judge your age based on your user ID number, I would day you have been around long enough to know the old saying, "I malloc, therefor I free"
C and to a lesser extent, C++ are quite excellent tools, and for that matter most all other tools are written in those two languages by competent software engineers who actually know what they are doing.
Don,t blame the tool, place the incompetent tool user.
Developers who just say, "we have to use > " because that is all they know how to use and they cannot take the time to learn the basics of good software design principles.
Development Managers who could not code their way out of a wet paper bag, making decisions for the development team when they know very little about anything.
The coders who write "tools" so they can make databases look like Java then hate the DBA's when they point out that the database is a vertical beast and not a horizontal one. And yes I am speaking about the fools who who write Hibernate / Spring which is so old, so wrong, so wrong headed as to make it practically useless in the day of a modern DB engine. Hibernate has been broken into more times then I can count.
SOFD, Software of the day... So a guys writes something he thinks is cool, and some fool decides its great and uses it in a forward facing system. It is never strenuously tested, and likely as not never developed further yet there it is in some critical code.
Using Libs or frameworks that are so badly coded that they include 10's of thousands lines of code that are never seen or tested because some 24 year old kid grabs a function that he thinks is going to save him an hour or two.
Because Java! Not the worst programming language ever, but the problems that come from garbage collection and programmers who THINK they understand it.
Because JavaScript, which is the worst period, ever written period, kludged upon period, ever written period!!
We need to get off of the HTML/CSS/ crazy drunken bandwagon and get back to basics! Re-boot and re-tool the the entire process because if we don't we are just screwed and more break ins will happen as the things become more and more complex. You need to let DBA's build the database portions of things and secure access. You need to let Systems people write HARDENED code. Let web guys make things pretty. You need to stop demanding a a single point tool and go back to individual inter working parts, written by competent coders, which are then put through a very severe hardening process.
Interesting question. "Car Service" is,at least in the US, have always been one of those business that are not defined as Taxi's. Car Service, have been 1 to many employee's. They are regulated by the limousine side of the Taxi and Limousine as a single payment ( including taxes and tolls ) per destination. But payment is made to the driver, after the trip, and those companies must pay drivers a salary, not a percentage of a fare. If the company has more than 50 employees ( including office, personnel, mechanics, drivers, etc.) then they have to also provide healthcare
How the hell is working FOR Uber entrepreneurship.
Can you Grow your Business?
Can you Also deal with competing Companies?
Deal Direct with Customers? Offer them other services?
No You work for Uber.
No, what I believe they are saying is that if you work for a company, that collects the money, gives you your jobs, set standards for drivers, etc., then you are an employee of that company.
You can buy a car, advertise all over the place, have the correct insurance, and you are a one person company. It has been going on for a long time, its called "Car Service".
Digital ANYTHING over the air for listening just plain sucks.
If your signal is not perfect you simply don't hear anything. If I am WAY away from an analog broadcast, it might be fuzzy, it might in and out of stereo but I can still HEAR and understand it. With digital, one the signal gets fuzzy is just does not decode it.
This is only one of the reasons why cops and fire fighters hate the new digital radios.
So encryption. What are you protecting? Many Many passwords to your banking, health care, etc. ?
So the question re:
Data value?
Data value lifetime?
Data Recoverilability?
You can build a sophisticated cypher that does not require polynomials, massive primes or any of the stuff that RSA uses in an afternoon with a little imagination that will stifle pretty much anyone except for the most ardent code breakers. So the questions need to be answered.
Create a two dimensional array each dimension being 64K in size of 64 bit integers. Use the key to seed the random number generator, then fill both dimensions with random 64 bit numbers. As always the larger and more complex the key, the better, but use each element of the key to indicate which dimension you will pick the substitution value from. So given the key of 1234567890 you will 1 value from dim1, the next value from dim2 etc.
Each 8 or 16 bit char will be replaced by a 64bit number, that was generated by the entire key value and then selected by the key[n]. If you exhaust the length of the key simply wrap it around.
So a couple of things that I would add not to counter, but to perhaps amplify and clarify.
Naval drones are the same idea that Iran is currently contemplating, with a massive surge of small craft carrying warheads of some type. While this has the capability of achieving moderate success I am not sure how they would fair when confronted with a CIWS system with an effective range of 4km and being pretty damned accurate. More than likely current doctrine has been updated to increase the amount of ammunition carried for each deployed unit.
US / Russia conflict. I have some rather serious doubts there will ever be a direct ground war. Napolian and Hitler both discovered, much to their chagrin, that you just don't invade Russia. It will be a proxy war, as it is cooking up to be as I write this, and the only way to win is to put massive boots on the ground to push them back to their border, but no farther. Like it or not, Patton was right and we should have taken Stalin down when we had the chance. The Russians don't have a naval force that would be anything more than annoying. China is a bit of a different story, but they really have no experience fighting the ships they have and there are questions in many circles as to if they can even deploy them into the deep ocean since they no bases or allies to support them whereas the US have many bases around the world and a very large support system in place now. In a conflict I can see a more complete version of Perl harbor being quickly inflicted on their Naval Bases.
Submarine -v Submarine I would have to give a decided edge to the US Fleet. WE have trouble tracking our own. In exercises, even many years ago, we had to put noise makers on the "target" just so we could find them. It is an old joke, but one SONAR guy would ask another SONAR guy, "How do you know if are tracking a Russian submarine?", the classic response was, "If it sounds like and empty trashcan being rolled down an alley at 3am it more then like is a Russian.". Of the likely aggressors China is the one that would give me the most pause; however, I am confident that, with out being overly so, that we would prevail. we currently have at least 2 large shipyards that can crank out submarines with at least one other that could be brought on line pretty quckly
hunter killers of naval warfare. You think you can find them? Best of luck. Lasers don't go far under water and they diffract all over the place in the water column. US Submarines have some of the most sensitive acoustic detection equipment designed. They can hang suspended in the ocean, listening. They can silently go shallow or deep in the water column. Just stick the nose above the main thermocline, or tilt down to just penetrate into the deep sound channel.
If you are a surface ship, and a submarine wants you you are just dead. By the time you hear a MK-48 torpedo, it is too late. You don't even want to be in the same ocean with one those because it will kill you. By the time you detect that harpoon missile you might get the first one but the second one will get you. Your a surface ship, you can't hide, but that submarine can and you cant hear it over the background noise of the ocean.
Look up how many weapons a Virginia class submarine can carry. If you are a surface group dumb enough to be cruising in proximity of each other, they can put a shit load of torpedoes on your ass, turn around, go deep and haul ass while you are still trying to rescue your sinking ship mates.
5 US Nuclear Submarines can deny ANY fleet the Straits of Gibraltar, The Straits of Hormuz. There is not a Navy in the world that can challenge the US Navy at sea. If the Chinese tried to cross Taiwan Strait it would just be a shooting gallery.
Lest anyone think I know not from whence I speak, I spent 10 years in two classes of fast attack submarines in the US Navy. Are motto was then and still is now, "There are two kinds of ships, Submarines and Targets."
Tell that to anyone with a house that is more than 400 sqft and they will laugh in your face. 2.4ghz is radar! It is supposed to be reflected. 2.4ghz is smack in the middle of the "E" band radar spectrum and that is why Wifi has a range of about 100 ft indoors and that is if your house is made after 1950. If you have lathe and plaster, forget about it!

Cant we all grow up and just go back to using C?

Why, oh fucking WHY is their Python Code in the repository? Hasn't the world had enough of it, yet?

Why tethering AND unlimited data is a big deal?
The idiot developers that want everything in [ insert the name of your currently favorite dev language here ] including security!
They all want a single, or better yet, no username and password on the db in question! When will the developers EVER learn, anything
Did I make it?

You are making a false assumption.
As much as it pains me to respond to an AC, your wrong.
No, what I believe they are saying is that if you work for a company, that collects the money, gives you your jobs, set standards for drivers, etc., then you are an employee of that company.
You can buy a car, advertise all over the place, have the correct insurance, and you are a one person company. It has been going on for a long time, its called "Car Service".
However, this will bring about interesting wage negotiations, in the UK and abroad.
