And here you're only talking about a subset of memory leaks, by inaccessible memory. You can also leak memory by pushing new elements in a channel while never reading them for example.

Lmao, what the heck. I've heard about that, but I still cannot believe it's true.

Yeah, I changed my career direction (industry, tech stack…) but before that, my CV only was enough for me to get hired. They would just verify the information, and sometimes, there weren't even a single tech interview.

I was so lucky in the interview for my current job: I'm working on a product with a big networking component, and I was asked to write an echo server with low level components. That was maybe the second time I had a test related to the job.

Why the fuck would they prevent private browsing? I use that a lot to be sure the session is closed correctly.

I really like this instance, so of course I'm 100% for the move

The first article is funny, because I moved from my native country to the one right next to it, and everybody is confused by my name. They have one given name and 2 family names, while I have 4 first names, and a compound last name.

No need to travel to the other side of the planet to meet a different culture of naming.

I've had the same experience with TS + deno. I always use that for prototyping, scrapping, etc. Great read.

I think they just don't like cringe

And a light theme. I'm tired of websites having dark theme only.

Uh, they're different, though. There is no C++ tool (AFAIK) providing an exhaustive check of ALL the data lifetimes. I even think it's impossible, because their semantics are really different. Rust is move by default, C++ copy by default; Rust has no inheritance with its constructors, etc.

I don't like/use the class keyword in JS, because I quite like the paradigm with prototypes & stuff, and that keyword tries to make it fit into a totally different paradigm, which doesn't really work IMHO.

With TS, I find it even more useless, because I can use TS as a functional language, with POD, functions and interfaces only. I've written entire projects without ever using and needing this keyword, which is a proof IMHO that it's an unnecessary addition. Not sure how unpopular is my opinion tho 😅

BTW, I've developped a few strats to have my own style in TS that I like quite a lot. I can tell more if you're interested.
