It has been increasingly annoying to play video games nowadays, take the recent Call Of Duty releases, I don't like playing multi-player I just want to play the 3-4 hours campaign and yet to do that I need a Battle.net account and need to be online, also I can't just install the single player campaign I need Warzone.
Ubisoft is also a hot pile of mess with their Ubisoft buggy client that constantly needs an internet connection.
Author makes a claim that Rust is hard because it's a systems language, i'd like to claim that Rust is hard because it hides the systems part of systems programming.
Systems Programming is just UNUX/POSIX/WIN32 Programming it's writing software that interacts with the OS, Rust hides much of this in language abstraction (for good reason) but the trade-off is that using the language becomes complicated.
There are 80,000 jobs mentioning or requiring C++ and 4000 mentioning or requiring Rust.
I understand more "modern" startups will tend to pick Rust but saying you "haven't seen jobs needing C++" is a plain lie.

What's with the hostility towards the subreddit? I am surprised by the HN reaction to it.
I think that unless you are working minimum wage you don't get to call the sub "nihilistic, apathetic or zoomer adhd" if anything most of the members were essential workers during covid and struggle to afford basic living otherwise they would not be angry.
I am very surprised by the comments in the thread to be honest, if you work in tech, your job is pretty much useless the code you write doesn't "advance humanity" I mean let's not kid ourselves tech jobs are pretty overblown in importance compared to essential workers.
Really hope we do some thinking before taking this hostile stance, if anything we should stand by workers who suffer from shitty working conditions.
EDIT:I worked minimum wage, no wage no health care.. I worked really different shitty jobs in risky setting and there was always an implicit solidarity in the workers group, when I moved to tech (very later on) I was surprised by the toxicity and grandeur some people show as if building to-do apps is all that's left from moving to the next level of civilization, some humility and acceptance would be good along the way especially since we're lucky to have the opportunity to work remotely, great salaries and benefits and the ability to spend time doing something we like.
I am starting a new job on Feb hoping to kick-ass there as its my first (official)job after college and months of OSS.
I will once again try to learn and use Rust but will fail miserably.
My only plan for this new year is to slowdown on consuming content and subjecting myself to a lot more stress and spend more time outside, taking naps and reading books.
I am on your side when it comes to infosec naming things, for short history there has been some big attacks by Wiper type malware in the past most notably TV5, South Korea (Winter Olympics 2018),SONY, ARAMCO 2017 there's also some samples currently targeting the Tokyo Olympics
I agree, not sure why you're downvoted.
Ironically enough the most famous sponsored attack on infra with the actual goal of damaging infrastructure was Stuxnet a joint Israel/American op
Well yes actually, it's pretty common I've worked on government systems (not Iran but close and not embargoed) that uses pirated Windows, Office Suite.
Quantum Computing since Democritus is a more approachable introduction than the listed books especially if you have no formal CS background.
Arora's draft of the book contains error (fixed only in the published version, I am not sure an errata is available)
Actually there is a recently released book[1] by No Starch that gives a tour of modern C++ with details about implementations and librairies and even has a great chapter on unit testing.
