C++'s Borg-like mission continues, and some thoughts on Rails 8.1. Plus, there is a little trouble in Microsoft Paradise. And why Chris finally paid for an LLM.
Full Episode
This is Coder Radio, episode 592, recorded on October 22nd, 2024. Hey friend, welcome in to Jupyter Broadcasting's weekly talk show. It takes a pragmatic look at the art, the business, the software development, and the world of technology. My name is Chris, and keeping an eye... On the world, it's our host, Mr. Dominic. Hello, Mike. Hello, Chris. Yeah. I've decided you are our C++ correspondent.
What a mixed honor. You know, like, if we were to bring you on to another show, we would be like, host of Coderator Program and Jupiter Broadcasting's C++ correspondent joins us tonight to break down C++'s continued Borg-like mission. Mr. Dominic, what are you learning...
Well, you know, that feature you just got there, Go and Rust, C++ has already assimilated it, and your science will service them.
We would like some of that, please.
They just wait. They're like, what are they doing?
Do you think, so the safe C++ extension proposal, which was last month, like late last month, which is an evolution in C++, a proposal for safe C++ extensions to enhance memory safety and, you know, basically respond to the great threat that is Rust. Exactly, right.
Rust in the Linux kernel? Okay, we need to do something here.
So the work's being done via the C++ Alliance. Its president and executive director, Vinny Flacco, said that it was, quote, a revolutionary proposal that adds memory safety features to the C++ programming language. You know, this kind of – the article that we'll have linked to the show notes kind of puts it in context. And it is worth mentioning, right?
So in 2020, Google did a little study and identified that 70 percent of Chrome's severe vulnerabilities were memory safety issues. We've also – we also saw another study came out that the White House cited in February. And their national cyber director. We actually talked about on the show really briefly where they kind of came out.
