They’re confident because they’re dumb.
3·10 days agoJust leak it before publishing it. Also most authors will give you the pdf for free if you just email them and ask for it nicely.
41·13 days agoyou can’t because it’s explicitly against the whole point of having endless choices. when everyone works on something different, the quality spreads out to where it’s mostly just mediocre stuff across the board.
hardware compatibility is also a huge problem. for everyone that says “it works fine for me” there are a thousand others for whom it does not.
1·14 days agoIt’s also an attack on legitimate services that get inundated with spam/bots/abuse/etc. and one of many reasons why they’re not a widespread thing to begin with.
There are a good number of resources for what you want but I don’t want to name names because they should stay hard to find on purpose IMO.
There’s also many other e2ee chat apps that don’t require a phone number such as SimpleX, Briar, Tox, Session etc.

I think this sums it up nicely.

To be fair, there’s nothing wrong with only using the parts of C++ you want. If you avoid things like templates, exceptions, RTTI etc. then e.g. your compile times will not suffer like people always complain about, your error messages will not be cryptic, plus you’ll have stronger typing, easier/safer lifetime management with ctor/dtors and easier to read code from class usage.
Personally I think Swift has great potential if it can get past the speed and cross-platform issues, as it was designed by (among others) some C++ committee folks, and so it feels a lot more familiar than say, Rust, plus it fixes a lot of long-standing issues.
There is also an Indian kernel fork that allows C++ drivers.
People prefer what’s familiar to them. Rust is completely foreign to them, the syntax is very different, the community is different (and often much younger), it still has many issues and is not ubiquitous, and many people are just slow/averse to change in general. So I absolutely understand the hesitation. And some just don’t like it for other reasons like the syntax, learning curve or other reasons. There’s also still a host of memory-related things Rust doesn’t fix like stack overflows, leaks, bitflips, unsafe context code, and just bad coding practices in general.
You don’t think they started out tired all the time with no supplements and then slowly added them to try it out?
41·16 days agohow about FOSS, free and open-source standards /s
I guarantee you will learn something new
What was I supposed to learn exactly?
some people like them and others don’t… both have their own reasons… not sure what other info you are looking for?
Why do you think it’s “amazing” that people use it?
I struggle to call that hacking in the sense most people probably mean. Phishing is definitely a thing but they’re not ‘breaking’ anything to access a system, they’re just tricking you into giving it to them.
what about those who do? or need time during the day but their job doesn’t allow it?
Actually, everything is a remix
