cause anyone who knows of it can use it

…and the ones who don't know of it will one day become the ones who know

I've read a wiki page about it, critics didn't even score it too low. To me it seems that the issue was that Sony tried to make something just to profit off, without considering making it fun or novel, unexpectedly people didn't want to pay for yet another multiplayer shooter without anything new.

I thought it was about the previous time (was it in September?), but it already happened again? Linus really has a lot of patience now after working on his attitude, he's got my respect for it

If you use phone to carry explosive, and a separate device to direct the explosion you can cause a lot of (directed) destruction.

But maybe not crash the airplane as a result.

So I who am careful to write readable and safe code

I just want to point out that it's hard to be sure your code is readable if you don't work with a team. More than once I saw people write "readable" code that was not readable. My own code I deemed "readable" was in fact not, as time had shown when I returned to fix something. So, the cited part looks a bit arrogant 😅

All heil Rust-toad

Rust is a bunch of great pieces that don't fit together well.

That might change over time.

Down that path C may become somewhat of an intermediate representation language for binary interfaces. No one would write it by hand, and maybe for the better

Well, rubber fist may really be a different thing. I even think that a real fist or even a dick sometimes doesn't imply homosexually, only asserting dominance :(

But it's a phrase you typed, the very one that contains the question, unless you ask by voice or in a picture

No, only the farm that convinces people to listen to other farm(s). And those already exist, anyway :(

And COBOL is listed as third-generation on Wikipedia, too.

I now remember reading about this concept of generations in a book about Ada, it seemed fascinating then but turned out to not be as good as expected 🥲

Also, Unix Shell is listed as 4GL example. There are SPSS, MATLAB, R, and Wolphram Alpha in the same list of examples, that kind of shows where 4GL went today.
