Have you considered no_std support?


Sorry, I didn't realize we weren't supposed to be having sex.


How come there's no unsigned numeric types in Bau?


I tried to describe this in [1]: "Unsigned integer are intentionally not supported to simplify learning and using the language, to avoid surprising behavior and edge cases, and to reduce security issues and error-handling pitfalls. When needed, unsigned behavior is available through explicit operations. This design does not affect performance or memory usage."

I understand this may not sound very convincing yet... it is hard to describe... basically, unsigned types sound simple, but they are not.

Hmm, I don't quite follow. For usages like counters or version numbers, it seems like allowing negatives makes things more complicated rather than less.

Like, what if you're getting a u32 over the wire? I feel like using an i32 to represent that data makes it more error-prone. Numbers will unexpectedly appear to be negative?


global variables are public enemy number one


>some dude is singlehandedly responsible

Well, one person to put up the PR and one dude to approve it - back in 2015. It isn't the security researcher's fault.


>Users are recommended to only trust the official app stores, Google Play on Android and Apple Store on iOS

Lol. Lmao, even. There's tons of malware on the Play Store. F-droid is far more reputable.


>In "good" times this made investigations run smoothly.

Yeah no. This was always bad and is often abused by law enforcement (& people pretending to be law enforcement)

Your manager is right. Drop the word "junior" from your resume and start interviewing.
