Stroustrup seems to think that memory safety is an ill-understood up-and-coming feature that "novel" programming languages have, but it's alright because C++ will soon be there. Honestly, his rebuttal of the NSA's document feels like it's out of 1995. My comments: https://www.thecodedmessage.com/posts/stroustrup-response/

My Reaction to Dr. Stroustrup's Recent Memory Safety Comments

The NSA recently published a Cybersecurity Information Sheet about the importance of memory safety, where they recommended moving from memory-unsafe programming languages (like C and C++) to memory-safe ones (like Rust). Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup, the original creator of C++, has made some waves with his response. To be honest, I was disappointed. As a current die-hard Rustacean and former die-hard C++ programmer, I have thought (and blogged) quite a bit about the topic of Rust vs C++.

“So all your Software Supply Chain ideas? You are not buying from a supplier, you are a raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code.”

—Thomas Depierre, “”I am not a supplier” (though he notes how you could negotiate with him so he could become a supplier for you!)

I am not a supplier

For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point.

A community library shared this pic of books returned during the holiday break. The idea was to request patrons have patience because it'll take the staff s while to re-shelf so much. I just think it's delightful. Libraries are loved and important!

I'm going through notes about articles I read online over the past 3 years or so, and it is amazing how many links are already broken. Entire sites gone, personal blogs moved with no redirects, news articles removed.

Happily the Wayback Machine @internetarchive has most of them. What would we do without it?! But I am surprised the linkrot sets in so fast.

@lazzarello By the way, I listened to your Griftmarket album: https://griftmarket.bandcamp.com/album/pilot

I liked it a lot! The first song hooked me.
