That will not help catching up to DeepSeek.

Depends on if this are really zero days or only to the public known zero days.

Putting it out from "only a small group of people/companies exploit it" to the public is the way how you get it fixed. In this case it seems that was the only way that was left after Microsoft refuses cooperation. What counts are the results: This are fixed now.

dictatorships are not there main customers. There are many, also western, governments and their agencies customers of such services.

Why not ignore unused variables in debug and warn in release mode?

New comment by cdud3 in "The worst job interview I ever had"

cdud3 — Fri, 29 May 2026 12:49:51 +0000

I am literally saying that the role the person applied to was for a "founding engineer at a mental health startup".

This is a leading role(!) in the mental health(!!) industry. That should give some clues. They also announced that the follow-up interview as a "non traditional - a ~90 minute culture fit chat" dropping more hints.

Unfortunately he also "fail to recall the exact wording of the discussion topics".

I bet the exact wording was open enough to leave enough room to not "felt completely emotionally drained" afterwards.

I think the interviewer did him a favor. He is just not able to handle a leading role in the mental health industry in a way that would have been mental healthy for him.

The opposite. Are you breaking the rule to leave your private stuff home just because the other side is or are you capable of keeping out of such sources of interpersonal conflicts, take over and redirect the discussion back to a professional level?

Of course it depends for what field and role you apply. For any leading role or customer contact point the capability to stay professional is essential. If you flip burgers at McDonald's then it's your right to be grumpy.

The CVS file with the raw data is a source of joy. My favorite is this:

claim: Artificial intelligence will cause widespread job loss among software engineers.

All 5 LLM's agree that the claim is misleading & wrong.

Its an effective way to sort out those candidates who are not able to leave private stuff at home.

Rejecting the question is actually how you pass. Open with "I leave everything private at home when at work hence my answer for the work position is: [here the answer but scoped and formulated to your work life and NOT to your private life]".

Yes, generated C++ is memory-safe. Also there is much more C/C++ code out there LLM's got trained on showing in the quality.

cdud3 — Mon, 25 May 2026 09:23:30 +0000

I found it's the opposite. Thanks to LLM's whole classes of problems otherwise solved by using Rust are gone. It's now more important that the generated code is easy to read.

Makes lot of sense taken that KDE is not driven by a single commercial company, has strong European roots and delivers with Plasma an amazing Linux desktop.

Gratulations to the project!

Probably a very long time ago then. Try again with Zig 0.16. It's amazing how fast recompiles can be.

Amen. We are still running highly unoptimized workflows in AWS and nobody reviews why we spend so much $ on that now while it was peanuts when we did it all ourself.
