And even the presented fix hurts my eyes. Should have used a unique_ptr
or optional
.
Yes, it’s not Open Source, but I am not sure that’s really relevant here. I see it more as a prototype implementation for something that could be standardised for C++.
The linked tweet links to the recording, but it has apparently also been uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/5Q1awoAwBgQ

Embracing the GC
I never actually liked the GC in D as it didn’t seem to fit in with the general direction of the language, and Walter Bright in D at 20: Hits and Misses says:

There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term
where they will double your monthly data limit for free when you comment your order number.
where they use you to spam the forum thread (for giving away something rarely anyone has any use for)
So they actually rewrote The Hurd in Rust.
There is no reason to “hate” Ubuntu but there are better choices.
What are those better choices then (for those who currently use the non-LTS Ubuntu releases and don’t want to move to rolling releases or LTS-only releases)?
I still think Ubuntu is the best option (particularly if you want to use the non-LTS releases)
Having said that I do hate snaps and also dislike flatpaks. So what I do is just use the Firefox deb package from the PPA and the chromium package from Linux Mint. Oh, and I have actually replaced ubuntu-advantage-tools with a no-op dummy package.
“secure alternative”? Others are not secure?
“they put ads in the terminal” isn’t really accurate.
Their “ubuntu-advantage-tools” adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing “ubuntu-advantage-tools”. It’s definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.
Depends on what semantic you want. Sure, if you use a
unique_ptr
member, you will get a deleted copy constructor/operator - I wouldn’t consider that blowing up in my face.
