Do you know why?

The type is dynamic. It can be whatever you wish.

From the original document:

Software manufacturers should build products in a manner that systematically prevents the introduction of memory safety vulnerabilities, such as by using a memory safe language or hardware capabilities that prevent memory safety vulnerabilities. Additionally, software manufacturers should publish a memory safety roadmap by January 1, 2026.

My interpretation is that smart pointers are allowed, as long it’s systematically enforced. Switching to a memory safe language is just one example.

Apparently it’s super successful. Has made $3 billion within a year.

TAOCP is a misleading title. It shouldn’t be computer programming. It should be computer science.

For most people, programming is the engineering discipline. I think that’s a very different art form. Software engineers are rarely dealing with the type of problems TAOCP is concerned about.

There’s probably some truth in “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

You’re not alone. When I played it I gave up on it after 8 hours. It felt like reading a book with no plot. Nothing really happened during my play time. Except for random deaths that forced me to save scum all the time.

The art style is nice though.

Baldness is commonly not by choice as well.

I usually just cherry pick the data that makes me happy. Works every time.

The only way to stop the socialist agenda is with communism

Let me guess, the coins can only be bought in bundles. The bundles are deliberately made so that no matter how you spend the coins, you’ll always have 1 or 2 coins left. Which makes you encouraged to buy another bundle to make all your moneys worth.

I’ll revise my opinion when Valve changes to a more overtly predatory model of capitalism

I believe as long they’re not publicly traded )and Gabe is in charge), that’s not a concern.

Being public (or owned by a publicly traded company) tend to bring out these nasty traits. It’s more about finding ways to bring value to shareholders than the customers.

But think about all the economy that will trickle down

For each steam power there are thousands of similar inventions that never see the light of practical use cases. We just remember those that had significant breakthroughs.

That doesn’t mean cryptocurrencies is like steam power.

When there’s finally a positive result: “Impossible! What did I do wrong?”

The picture only shows one hype cycle. AI has been through multiple hype cycles. Same will happen with quantum computers, once a new major breakthrough is reached.

Quantum computers have already had its hype, so plateau of productivity. It’s just that the plateau is really low.
