Keyword being “shouldn’t”. C++ doesn’t care about that, it just hands you the loaded gun.

auto isn’t dynamic typing it’s just type inference.

I’m aware, but one of the big arguments I’ve heard about dynamic typing is “I don’t know which type it has when I read the code”. Well, auto looks just like var in that regard.

Lambdas are just a way of defining methods in place. It has nothing to do with callbacks.

Callback definition from wikipedia:

In computer programming, a callback is a function that is stored as data (a reference) and designed to be called by another function – often back to the original abstraction layer.

This is exactly what lambdas are often used for in C++.

C++ continues to be the dumping ground of paradigms and language features. This proposal just aims to add even more to an overloaded language.

C++ programmers mocked languages for being dynamically typed then they introduced auto, they mocked JS for callback hell and introduced lambdas, they mocked Rust devs for being lowskill C++ devs who can’t manage their own memory and now they are admitting they can’t manage it themselves either.

It’s going to be come like the x86 instruction set or windows that is backwards compatible with stuff from 30years ago just accumulating cruft, unable to let go.

Use something like https://transfer.sh/ , github gist, or termbin.com to upload your traces so that others can see what you mean. Also, you computer has a screenshot button or application. No need to use your phone for it. (But text is probably better shared as text).

Since there’s only github as a donation option, there are also other admins who can be sponsored through other means e.g @recursive_recursion@programming.dev has a Libera Pay account which allows donation without giving M$ more traction.

If the linux kernel had any real budget to speak of, they could hire rust experts to maintain the rust code. But the “linux” foundation spends 2% of its budget on Linux, this is the situation you end up with.

Ah, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

C++ has a bunch of functional properties. It has lambdas, function pointers which allow currying, higher order functions, it has of course pure functions, functors, recursion, lazy evaluation, a type system supporting lambda calculus, and so on.

C++ is the dumping ground of programming paradigms. Name a paradigm and C++ probably has it. Just because another programming language supports some aspects of a paradigm doesn’t make it pure. Or for another a more common example: just because it quacks like a duck, doesn’t always mean its a duck.

In other words, rust is about as functional as C++. Plus minus a few things.

Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.

Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.

Not really something I’d buy, honestly. Looks like they are targeting the wealthy software engineer segment. Is 1:1 the perfect ratio for coding?

Very curious what the final output of this will be… if they can finally just train their models on everything with no repercussions, I wonder what kind of loopholes that will open for say music. “I didn’t share your music, I shared a model that happens to output music trained from your input. Yes, it happens to be byte for byte”.

If you pushed to github, that key is there forever! (very few exceptions). Regardless, if you pushed it to any machine you don’t own, assume it’s compromised and rotate.

We need federation… Gitlab ain’t gonna do it, ForgeJo doesn’t seem to have enough people to work on it (programming language is Go, so any takers?), and the only federated / distributed alternative that’s really there seems to be radicle.

Radicle is nice, but very limited at the moment. Discovering other repos isn’t easy (no search), the issue pages are quite plain, but at least everything is stored in git.

So is that how courts work for you? You are guilty because you are accused?

Lawyer: Your honor, the defendant is accused of having said despicable thing and showing repulsive behavior. I quote from a newspaper article that quotes from a group, that doesn’t provide a source: […]
Judge: The accusations are proof of wrong-doing and thus are sufficient to convict this criminal of being a “libertarian bro who only thinks of themself and tries to hide behind ‘just focus on the code!’, thinking it’ll excuse right-wing behavior”.

That’s not how it works. I doubt @savoy@lemmygrad.ml read the article. You just quote accusations and provide it “evidence”, “proof” or as “support of who he was”, and not a single link to any of such action displayed in the accusations.

The article describes exactly this fear of being sanctioned in secrecy without no links to evidence and you’re doing exactly that, just like OP.

Those are accusations and reasons provided by the PSF. Continue reading the article beyond that.

In one titled “Inclusive communications expectations in Python spaces,” Peters pushed back on the notion that “Python old-timers are troglodyte reprobates” and expressed concern about Python’s Code of Conduct enforcement process.

Is “Python old-timers are troglodyte reprobates” not worth pushing back against? What kind of atmosphere is created if ageism is OK?

I’m not going to quote the rest, you can read it.

That’s not even what happened? Did you read the article?
