Really? Remove any and all political bias and look at the factual cost of NASA vs. SpaceX. I’ll wait while you remember just how ignorant that statement really is. If Government was so efficient, they wouldn’t epitomize inefficiency in triplicate so damn hard.

DOGE in concept is desperately needed. DOGE is nothing more than an audit on the status quo. Tell me again how the status quo was working so well under Bidenomics. You think DOGE is a financial scam? I’d love to know how another $100 billion of taxpayer money going to a warmongering country that hires dishonorably discharged cokeheads onto executive energy boards on behalf of The Big Guy would have been soooo much better for America under President Cackler. Pay no attention to the billion dollars in DNC campaign funds that were blown within months of a predictable loss. That was merely a tip for a job well done.

It'll be interesting hearing the Democrats version of DOGE. As I said, there is no question an audit is needed. Especially of The Fed. So let’s see how those “honest” Democrats do it. The hypocrisy should be pathetically hilarious.

I'd say it's more like "hold my beer"

Now said developer himself complains about C++ developers using too much C in their code, as if he's blaming that on its (deservedly) bad reputation. Suck a crock. Drew Devault said it best:

Probably because it's just a bad idea all around. Precisely why the borrow checker doesn't allow it (this breaks the twice mutably borrowing rule.) In my experience, even in languages other than rust, there are always better ways of mutating a collection without doing it WHILE you're actually iterating over it.

Except in C++, you're going to object orient whether you want to or not. In the case of C++, that also means vtables everywhere, even when they're not needed, which also has a runtime cost. Unless of course, your cpp files are, at the end of the day, as C as they can be, and naturally, you're not using the C++ standard library. In which case, why did you choose C++ for your project again?

And nowadays he complains that C++ developers choose to put too much C in their code. The irony of him choosing to base his language on that is not lost.

I would have just mentioned std::mem::leak. But more importantly, look at the code: You're basically not going to do that by accident; they literally create a reference counter of a linkedlist of a refcell, and then point to that from inside another reference counter. That's literally 5 pointers worth of indirection. And even then, you're still not done yet. Angle of sphere is the only person I can think of who would do something like this on accident.

Have you ... used it?

I can feed ChatGPT some code, and it does parse it.

Frequently - more and more frequently - it does add new features correctly, per my requests.

Does it "understand"? Probably not, but we don't even really know what that means with humans a lot of time.

I've never heard of this company. I'm sure they realized the silly promises they made would burn through whatever venture capital they had amassed and have altered the deal (pray they do not alter it further) so that everyone (or at least the management) can ride the gravy train for a few more months before the bubble bursts. They already know that they're dead, but they just want another six months to line up their next job.

And you base this on what? Oh, that's right, nothing, because you're just speculating, because no such institution has ever existed for you to make any kind of measurement against.

Like who? And you say they're right wing based on what? And what does that even mean?

You know, the interesting thing about communism is the whole idea was conceived of by two men who came up with all of these little intricate details about how it would work, and making all kinds of predictions about what exactly will happen once the "revolution" begins. And you know what? Over the next 150 years, multiple "revolutions" began and none of them worked out at all how those two prescribed. The whole system turned out to be a recipe for dictators to seize control of what in many cases were democratic regimes, and turn their states into kleptocracies, which happened every single time without exception.

You know why? Because just like you, these guys had it in their head that everything they were speculating about would be without-a-doubt accurate, even though in the end it was nothing like how they said it would be, even when their prescription was followed.

Just like what you're doing here.

>"Teslas"

Sorry, you will have to provide evidence that Tesla is doing that. And, how it is different than other car manufacturers, if you are plying that Teslas are somehow different. Most modern vehicles have telemetry, licenses, remote connection, service contracts, remote control, etc.

You promised your entire voting base that you would audit the very entity giving away hundreds of billions in taxpayer money to find everything from corrupt wars to wide open American borders.

You have no more than three years to make good on that promise, with the fourth year wasted campaigning to ensure even the ghost of DOGE survives beyond the next American Presidential election.

Every single taxpaying American knows how inefficient Government is. Every American armed with wisdom and common sense knows how corrupt the status quo is. Everyone knows damn well DOGE is needed. Now and forever. But again, you have three years. Or less with the Liberal MSM rooting against you. Along with every pointless Government worker bound and determined to support every excuse to sustain a job that probably should have been replaced with a very small shell script as-old-as-that-joke ago.

Now tell me. How exactly are you going to do that audit successfully by following every single overburdened and purposely corrupt process in existence today to gain access directly to ensure data manipulation is not happening, in a timely manner? I’m betting by day three you’d also be pulling your fucking hair out and just demanding God level access over every part of Your Audit Resoinsibility in order to stand a chance at success.

Government efficiency gave birth to the concept of FUBAR. If we think we have even a remote idea of just how fucked it is, we don’t. It’s way worse.

The People are paying attention alright. Again, I want to see the hardcore proof of records deletion and secret access being covered up. DOGE is a brand-new department officially recognized by the Government. The access required to do their one fucking job that has NEVER actually been done, is going to be incredible to define with boundaries. But I’d love for you to think about it and elaborate. You promised American voters an audit would occur. You promised DOGE. You have no more than three years to make good on that, with the fourth year in office wasted campaigning to ensure even the idea of DOGE outlasts the blatant waste trying to cover it up with criminal innuendo. How exactly are YOU going to tiptoe around everyone who doesn’t really justify their Government job but really wants to keep it? Think YOUR DOGE is going to be successful saying Pretty Please and filling out the requisite access forms in triplicate? How ironic the access request process was first on the auditors list.

Go ahead. Audit the auditors. I dare you to tell me what you’ll find is actually worse than what they’ll find. Instead we have to read “shocking” news stories of DOGE espionage filled with nothing but maybes, might haves, and possiblys. With hints of Russia, Russia, Marsha bullshit added for clickbait flavor.

If there was proof, we wouldn't be reading about nothing but theoreticals.

I see the proofreading lawyer was needed by the time I got to the fucking title of your “proof”.

Should I bother reading more, or will it merely prove my point?

If Hitler is encapsulated within Godwins law, then I guess it’s safe to assume the liberal media is now encapsulated within the law of TDS reporting. Naturally accusations devolved into this political tripe. Yet again.

Hold your breath and wait for the hardcore proof. TFA reads like a fucking Mission Impossible script. And even those weren’t that outlandish.

That, already happened. When we left No Child Behind in the classroom, and reduced that education down to the lowest denominator intellectually.

My reasoning: A trillion dollars of education debt and the absolute mental incompetence that has represented liberal left-leaning leadership in America for the last four years. Those “kids” you speak of are called voters in America now. Which was quite obvious given the blind momentum that grew behind the undeniable incompetence represented in the last Democratic Presidential Candidate. And the last Democratic President.

Liberal Arts, and the Arts itself can survive just fine. What needs to die a timely death is the profit motive behind the education for that. If one wishes to pursue a degree in the Arts, fine. They can fund it personally. Or some billionaire liberal can. ZERO public financial obligations will be placed on that kind of education. Now, or ever again. THAT is how the Arts survive in America.

Once we fix the Greed problem in the Educational Industrial Complex, the Medical Industrial Complex will be the next logical target. If America wants to survive, it better start doing something about the problems that are eating itself.

And now for some clarity. If you had a 30-character pseudo-random strong password that was stolen (as in a compromise of the SYSTEM ITSELF) and therefore is now “leaked”, why does this automatically imply the user is at fault and has “shit” op-sec?

When I find the car you drive has had a dozen recalls in the last 5 years, does that also make YOU a shit consumer, shit driver, or both?
