You do understand they actually targeted whole apartment blocks in Iran, right? 10s of civilians dead. Not so sophisticated. Just criminals.

The best way to implement a text adventure in C would be to implement a simple lisp interpreter in C and then implementing the actual game in a lisp DSL. Lisp lends itself surprisingly well to this, and defining game logic declaratively instead of imperatively is much more intuitive. Here are a few examples:

"Given"? Who do you think took the opportunity from the Iranian people in 1953? You have a very distorted idea of how it is to live in what you consider dictatorships. In fact, in most of those countries, people have a better idea of what's going on both in their own countries and in the world. They have access to two opposing points of view, unlike most people living in the west.

Nobody claimed Iran, Iranians or whatever they are doing is superior. I'm just sick and tired of the righteousness expressed in this forum. No matter how backwards is Iran and its government and atrocities committed by them against their own people, it pales in comparison to what the west has done just in the past two decades. They keep their shit to themselves so to speak. The Americans in this forum would do well to follow suit.

It is worth mentioning that those same backwards people are also one of the top producers of knowledge not just in the middle east[1], but the world[2], in many fields outproducing most middle tier European countries. Your idea of the world is comical, as such you do not understand it as it is.

The above are coming from a liberal Iranian who lives in the west, so take it for what you would.

Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of those Raspberries!

I started my first company based on Delphi, which itself was based on Turbo Pascal. Wirth was a great inspiration, and his passing is no small loss. May his work keep inspiring new programmers for generations to come.

One of his quotes: "Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Ni-klows Wirt'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nick-les Worth'. This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value."

From what I understand, it has nothing to do with morality or hurting Russia. The banking sanctions make it impossible to do financial transactions with the country, which effectively puts an stop on business relations.

Why do you bring Iran or NK into this? Let's get it straight: Until now, the only counties who have actually tried genocide on industrial scale, have performed inhumane tests on live subjects of other cultures or used Nukes on civilian targets have been mostly western. Heck, they were literally wiping each other out right until 75 years ago. They are also the ones actively ganging up and invading others TODAY. What delusion suddenly caused you to think it is again 'others' who are trying to wipe you out?

What are you even talking about? Not only is Iran a nation-state, it is probably one of the first nation-states to exist. The Name of the country itself is close to 2000 years old, and the language they speak is at least 1400 years old. They have had a continuous culture for millennia, and identify themselves as a nation, by name, culture and mostly the language.

Iran is an industrial country. That's why Venesuela's economy crumbled after a year of sanctions and Iran's has endured decades: They produce a huge amount of their needs locally. It also has the most sophisticated healthcare system in the Middle East. It may not be as good as Western Europe, but it competes, or may exceed, the eastern Europe. To understand where Iran stands, you can consult [1] and get surprised that its output is not only more than the whole ME combined, but exceeds some countries in Europe.

Rust is a compiled language, so you will have to recompile. Incremental compilation helps to a certain degree. There is IDE tooling that helps with a lot of issues you may encounter, but in the end, you still have to recompile to run your code. Same applies to Go as well. I have never find this a shortcoming of any language, but YMMV.

Go is a significantly simpler language than Rust, and has a garbage collector. You can learn Go in a weekend, and experiment with it in a couple more. Rust on the other hand has a steep learning curve which will take at least a couple of months to get good at. So if I were you, I'd start by learning Go, seeing if it fit my needs, and then learning Rust later on if I had a use case that Go wasn't a good fit for.

According to the article, 260 people are writing code for systems with strict specifications that do not change much over time. That's a significant constraint on the externalities they deal with. In contrast, most commercial programmers write an order of magnitude more code for systems far less defined with more unpredictable externalities, with shorter deadlines. There is no magic in the world. Everything has a reason, and it's often not (just) due to incompetence or stupidity.

For a rangefinder style, there's the Fuji X100 series (the latest being X100V). They are not really pocketable though. But for a big sensor compact that is truly pocketable, nothing beats the Ricoh GR series with its APS-C sensor (the latest being the Ricoh GR III). The older model (GR II) can still be had for under $400, which is a screaming value.

I wish someone would take a web renderer, took the Javascript away, made a native react-like library for it, and made a universal interface to it so any language could use it. That would finally fix the problem with the UI building issue, while allowing flexible language access. That would be the best of both worlds.

The article is about debunking a few myths about Rust, and why C++ is NOT faster or safer than Rust.

The title alludes to the opposite, and as such, is clickbait.

Go is special in that it is significantly simpler than all of these languages, while having a large overlapping domain of operation with each. I'm yet to see a single real-life money-making program written in any of the languages you cited that is as easily readable as a Go program.

That is not my experience from using Go for nearly 10 years at all. Go actually has significantly removed the complexity of writing asynchronous and concurrent programs and has pushed it to its own runtime. At this moment in time, as a language nerd, there are few languages that I know of that compete with Go in the balance it strikes between performance and complexity.

If you compare Iran's victims to US's, Iran will come out as an untarnished Angel. Just in the last 20 years in the middle-east, we have Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and by proxy Syria and Yemen. Put together, even if one is generous, that's more than a million people, minimum, died in wars of conquest, claimed to be `Freedom Operations` or at worst `Police Actions`.

Spare us with the propaganda. The world has caught up and can see through it.
