Ada, hands down. Every time I go to learn Rust I’m disappointed by the lack of safety. I get that it’s miles ahead of C++, but that’s not much. I get that it strikes a much better balance than Ada (it’s not too hard to get it to compile) but it still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safe interfacing. Plus it’s memory model is more complicated than it needs to be (though Ada’s secondary stack takes some getting used to).
I wonder if any other Ada devs have experience with rust and can make a better comparison?
First time trying it out. Got a bit lucky.

EDIT: just realized I did the wrong date! sorry. still, thanks for showing me a new daily puzzle. :)
I think a few months was the time until he signed I love you, we don’t know how much longer it took before she get the implant.
Sadly front end, like “High Level” is a very relative term. For example, in compiler design, the bit that parses code is called the “front end” since the “back end” is what emits machine code. I think that’s what they mean here, the “front end” that understands D3D8 code has been added, presumably there is also a “back end” that converts the parsed/analyzed D3D8 code into valid opcodes for consumption by GPU/CPUs.
In the other direction, a UI/UX is sometimes called a “back end” when it is part of a more complex embedded project where physical controls are the “front end”.
I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.
If you read the readme, this looks like it’s specifically for when you don’t know the correct tld or spelling of the site you’re looking for. Google searches often censor sites of borderline legality, but they’ll usually still have Wikipedia articles with accurate links.
This specifically only redirects .idk domains as a search helper. Could it possibly work better as a browser extension? Maybe. :)

Answering both: dial image for reference to what the “modes” are, and my dial is gross. Plus that was the best image I could find describing it, but had trouble getting a clean download. Google images can suck that way. If you get me a clean link, I’d update the post.
In case anyone wants the real meanings: I am not a lawyer, read the f***ing manual, bank of america.
Beej’s guides are absolute classics. The networking guide is also amazing. Definitely worth the read.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what I was thinking too. The combination of a c API and a JVM API (and maybe .NET if you’re in Microsoft land?) Hits most FFI available in languages I’ve seen. I can’t think of any language I’ve used that couldn’t Interop with either a c library (.a or .so) or JVM library (.jar). However I’ve never used any .NET system seriously, so I don’t know about them.
FWIW I regularly remake the same API based game whenever I start a new job working in a new environment to test that my environment is “up to snuff” with my development methodologies. I’ve never needed to port more than API.a and API.jar to play around in any language. I’ve ported that system to at least 100 languages over the years, and while some have more friction than others, and often the c/JVM paradigm doesn’t line up well with the target language, it is always effective.
I definitely have the soapy gene, but don’t mind the taste. I blame thrills soap gum, I occasionally enjoyed that as a kid. My sister also has the gene and can’t stand the taste.
After years, and many languages, I still have to say Ada. Kotlin, Rust, Julia, and Nim are my current contenders to overtake, but here’s what Ada does well enough to still be my preferred tool when appropriate:
There are some situation where Ada shows its age:
func
/proc
(Nim) vs fun
(Kotlin) vs fn
(Rust) doesn’t make much difference to me, but function X returns Y
/procedure X
starts to add a lot of visual noise to a file.Here’s when I use the alternatives, and their biggest weaknesses:
Thank you for attending my TED talk :P. Any questions?
Great read. Only constructive criticism I have is a pet peeve of mine that is especially prevalent in type theory articles. In particular it may be worth mentioning the more formal names of some of the types discussed. Trying to map Haskell’s types to other languages can be very tricky and can hinder understanding. Mentioning more googleable names like unit, top, bottom, can be helpful in disambiguation which characteristics are intrinsic to the Haskell type, versus which are properties of the type system in general.
Wait until you learn about the shell specific /dev “files” like /dev/udp and /dev/tcp (which can send/recv IP traffic as if from a file)!
Apparently it’s not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that’s my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it’s pretty short, since it’s a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).
CO2 is of course extremely common. I’d love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!
