  • C/C++ oldtimer myself, yep Rust is basically C++ template metaprogramming. So Rust does this thing way better, but as you says it does other things less good. Exactly like Java with the facility to run on different platforms (well, sort of) for example.

    C/C++ is hard because it’s the ultimate multi tool!

    I use Python BTW when I don’t need the fancy stuff, maybe the death of C/C++ will be that of a thousand cuts, one specialised language for each specific C/C++ use …






  • I have decided to never ever again do a coding test in my life except if the prospect of not doing it is to have to live under a bridge.

    Hello, I’m HR 1 month of experience.

    Welcome

    Hi, I’m IT with 2 years of experience.

    Welcome

    Hi, I’m a senior developer who have worked on similar code bases (but not only) for 20 years.

    Hmm, we will have to “test” you. Do you know what a database is? In what order are constructors of inherited classes called? Weird question about some dead framework like mfc, panther or vb6-gui.

    This goes on for hours.






  • I see no bite, only bark ;-)

    If it is helpful, provide the study showing it! It’s too easy to say “look it up yourself” IMO.

    Health “in general” is, health. What do you think health means?

    The phrase that starts with:

    Believing…

    is just incompréhensible for me, I’m not a native speaker.

    Yes longevity has become a serious research field, almost solely by the massive effort of Dr Aubrey de Grey. Read his 2007 book Ending Aging for a dumbed down explanation of what is needed to cure aging (as in a science interesed person can get it).

    For third-party examination of supplements, that only shows what is in the pills, not that they are actually effective.

    So again, stay away from any supplements until there has been some real studies done. There is always a supplement, once it was cinnamon, once it was radium water, always it was snake oil.

    You want to live longer in good health?

    What’s proven effective: don’t smoke, don’t drink(or very little), don’t be sedentary, don’t be overweight.

    That’s about it as far as the scientific consensus has it.


  • This is just like taking vitamin C without having a vitamin C deficiency, costly and worthless.

    There is no consensus about biological aging tests, so that is a first bs. Taking supplements isn’t shown to do anything good in any study of humans. There is one (not a supplement but a molecule) but I won’t talk about it because it’s just “promising”, and that’s as close to worthless you can come.

    Also “longevity kit”, wtf sure, if you believe that I have a bridge to sell.

    So no, go see a doctor, don’t buy crap pills on the internet.
