Most of the faults can be diagnosed without the computer, if you know how.

Diagnostics is nice because it gives you readout in one place, but the output is what the computer sees, not what actually happens.

Also, where is your licensed computer to diagnose mechanic problems? There isn't any? What a shame... how can you fix a mechanical problem without car telling you which part broke...

The computer diagnostics is a response to mechanics having no knowledge of electronics (also because it kinda make sense if you already put computer in).

If we are talking of domains where memory safety is an issue, then surely the category of memory safety must include OOM-safety? i.e. Safe handling of out-of-memory conditions under overload?
Threading on Apple's platforms is interesting because GCD exists and makes doing things concurrently really easy. I think when it came out there was a large push to get all your code off the main thread, spin up queues for background work, use all the new cores in your processor efficiently, but these days I'm seeing a lot more of a walking back of this as people invariably use the primitives incorrectly and shoot themselves in the foot. Data races are easy to create and post-ARC one of the easiest ways to get memory corruption; even when your code is "correct" that doesn't mean that you aren't suffering from performance problems due to priority inversion or thread explosion or poor synchronization primitives. These days, I suggest people keep things on the main thread unless they 1. really have a good reason to move things off of it and 2. understand which primitives they are going to use and what their tradeoffs are.

You trust your government and medial institutions, fine. My government has been caught lying over and over “for the public good” during this pandemic, but also on topics like feminism. We know they would lie again without an afterthought like they have in the past, for example giving AIDS to people through blood transfusion (4000 victims because they didn’t want to be seen doubting) or Chernobyl (“Don’t worry, the cloud didn’t reach France” - It did), or bombing the Greenpeace boat with people inside in NZ, or giving 6 diplomatic passports to Benalla and when he was caught beating up political opponents for the service of the king, “seize his passport”... but not seizing the remaining 5 of them.

You may live in a democracy, but we don’t. We literally have laws that the press isn’t free to talk during the pandemic.

People don’t trust doctors and politicians, simply because they have been shown several times to not be trustworthy. The only remedy is not to take more or less precaution; the only remedy is to start being trustworthy, having open science, having a talk about the risks, and not trying to slander or sue people who have opinions that are not approved by the nomenklatura.

As a reminder, the Ordre des Médecins has sued Dr Raoult for “violating fraternity”. The rest of the accusations I’m not a doctor, but “violating fraternity”? Is that science we are talking about, does physics include “follow whatever the group says”?

In the end, as long as you believe it is a thing to “lie for the public good”, it is good to trust absolutely no figure we are given and doubt about every single thing you say.

The UK is infamously known for not appreciating programming skills.

Any technical skills at all really. In Italy or Germany an engineer is a respected and protected profession. In the UK an "engineer" is the person who swaps a toner cartridge or replaces a washer in a tap, the word gets used for anyone regardless of their qualifications or role, devaluing it in the public consciousness.

I have actually, my grandfather fought in WW2. His stories were usually short, grim, brutal. He, however, emphasized the importance of fighting for the country, of reclaiming occupied land, of putting the greater interest ahead of your own personal fears. Incidentally, while I fully admire his behavior, I don't think 'fighting for the country' is a particularly natural thing for humans to do.

> They weren't reluctant to kill the enemy - I asked him about it.

As far as I know lots of evidence points to the contrary. People often go so far as to deliberately miss shots in order not to kill somebody.

> My father dealt with it by looking at the numbers and resigning himself to death. He figured that while he lasted he'd do his duty and his best.

This sounds quite selfless to me. It may have been done through social pressure, but what this shows is that the fear of opprobrium is greater than the fear of dying - moving against the group is more unpleasant for humans than death.
So, how do professional C programmers deal with this in general? Do they manually check for `x > MAX_INT || x < MIN_INT` every time they want to do some arithmetic? Do they manually check the CPU overflow flag after an operation? Or something else?

> The Learning & Work Institute says the number of young people taking IT subjects at GCSE has dropped 40% since 2015.

2015 being the year the IT and ICT GCSEs (which featured potentially little or no programming) begun being phased out and replaced with a more academically rigorous and programming-focused Computer Science GCSE.

Unsurprisingly, this led to a drop in the number of schools offering "IT subjects" at GCSE because it is harder to find qualified teachers for it; and any change like that is likely to depress numbers at least temporarily, and maybe permanently if the new syllabus is objectively harder.

In C++, you'll be lucky if you throw a nullptr exception. It's undefined behaviour, and it's often exploited by compilers for optimization. Here's a super simple example [0] showing how the compiler makes assumptions and generates a very unexpected result.

You feel ill possibly because you had a strong immune response. This is a good thing.
[Edit: this isn't true] That is definitely how it is used, and it works on the major compilers. But, surprisingly, this is indeed undefined behaviour according to the standard. There was an infamous rant by Linus [1] (more infamous for the language than the subject) about how the kernel can and should continue to use unions for type punning. He noted that even though the C standard doesn't specify a behaviour for that usage, gcc does (so long as you don't use a particular compiler switch mentioned in that discussion), and went on to say "The standard simply is not important, when it is in direct conflict with reality and reliable code generation."

EDIT: Having looked into this more I think I was getting confused with C++ (where the only supported way to type pun is to use memcpy or similar, which despite the name might not have to actually copy the bytes at runtime). Here [2] is a StackOverflow answer (/discussion) on the matter.

The question is why COVID vaccine is so harsh, and why is it different than a typical flu vaccine? People say the side effect is good it is your immune response, then why not having side effect is good as well? The more I read the more confused I am.

So much so, that in fact a software developer is definitely not seen as an engineer in Germany, which is a protected word you can only call yourself, when you actually have an engineering degree (similar to lawyer or doctor).

What is the necessity? In most of finance tech jobs you don't need domain knowledge. The UK financial companies are competing for devs with non-finance UK companies, not with Wall Street.

But the very value of that specific NFT is to have been there when it happened. Buying this NFT 10 years from now will be useless, you were not part of the movement.

Indeed I do, these days I spend most of my time on Elixir. But it's handy to have a lower level language that can compile statically for some complex sysadmin task. Go is fine, but a little too plain for my tastes.
It's a good thing if people try to get informed. The pandemic and its handling by the authorities has unfortunately shown that "the authorities" don't always make the right choices and don't always provide the right data.

If the vaccines are safe, it should be easy for the authorities to provide data that shows they are safe.

Of course trusting the authorities is a valid life choice, to each their own.
Notice that I did not say "without".

Your statement (think about it) is a non-sequitur: I did not reject kindness, I just set an order. Think about mafias.

It's pretty obviously not a joke, but a trivialization by comparison.
One thing I don't understand about the whole vaccine business is that can't they just license it to everyone in the world, so every country can produce their own vaccine already? Take AZ for example, Oxford was to go with Merck, then went for AZ, Why not both? And many more companies.
> I think they are referring to unions - probably writing to one union member but reading through another

Thanks, you could be right. In that case, I think it ought to be listed as a compile-time rather than a runtime error too (just as I already argued for null pointer dereference).

It depends a bit on use of course: if you have a function that takes an enum and considers all cases using pattern matching, then the compiler will stop you from accessing the wrong member within a given case. If you pass an enum to a function that expects one particular case to be active, then yes you can convert the compile time error into a run time one, but this is your own choice, not something that is naturally a run time error.
In the case of Theranos they almost certainly killed someone by knowingly providing false medical test results.
It seems I didn't get my point across, so here's an explicit statement:

The fact that certain human institutions or behaviors face strong opposition in certain contexts doesn't say much about human nature.

w.r.t. your example, this would mean that the failure of communes in the US doesn't say much about the failure/success of communes in other places/times. Nor does it say much about human nature in general.
My approximate guideline is "is this copy and that copy of the code the same because they HAVE to be, or are they accidentally the same?"

If they absolutely have to be the same, wrap'em in a function. If they just happen to be the same, leave them as separate copies. If I don't know, make an educated guess.
This BBC reporter has written of his experience of taking the AstraZeneca vaccine:

"The worst was the migraine and vomiting, but I also had aches, chills and exhaustion."

Sellers on Aliexpress tends to be quite honest about what they are selling, so buying there is reasonably predictable. I have rarely been disappointed by anything I bought from there.

On the other hand, Ebay (and I presume Amazon, I never use them) tends to buy cheap stuff off of Aliexpress, mark it up and resell it, sometimes also faking the brand.
On the contrary, my first car still had an analog speedometer. It really sucked when it failed because the failure mode was that it turned decidedly non-linear past about 50 mph indicated. The first time I drove it after the failure I hadn't driven it in probably a couple months and I was driving it at night without any traffic around. I wound up getting pulled over on the highway and the indicated speed was off by 15 mph.

At least with a digital speedometer almost every failure mode is going to be obvious and not some subtle accuracy degradation. Part of the supposed rationale for police almost always not enforcing the speed limit until a good margin over is because of the historic inaccuracies of speedometers. Nowadays assuming someone hasn't modified some gear ratio or fitted the wrong size tires you can more or less be assured that the speedometer will be quite accurate.
It's a great shame.

Interestingly my wife is a school teacher and frequently leans on me to create IT lesson plans for her school. She's smart so the issue isn't her capability to understand the subject, the issue is the lessens require teaching Python (originally) and Javascript (later) and the source material isn't very good at explaining programming languages to non-programmers who teach. So I ended up creating a new series of lessons for them that was easier to teach, still taught the fundamentals of programming languages, but was also more fun for the kids to learn.

She works at a large school and had that school not been lucky enough to have a spouse who's a developer, I'm not sure what 120+ kids (per year group) would have ended up being taught. Not all schools are so fortunate.
