  • TLDR: Rust, Go and other modern languages don't use more dependencies than C/C++, but have larger binaries due to including libraries into the executable binary. This trade-off was chosen to ensure you can reliably run the executable on various systems without dependency issues.

    I personally have gone with both options on several occasions. Being able to include an HTTP client without having to debug someone's cURL installation is certainly worth a few extra MiB's of disk space. However, I've also used C instead of Rust to avoid a very simple CLI program turning into several MiB's large binary (due to statically including the Rust std lib).

  • According to EICAR's specification the antivirus detects the test file only if it starts with the 68-byte test string and is not more than 128 bytes long. As a result, antiviruses are not expected to raise an alarm on some other document containing the test string.

    This won't work, assuming the database file is more than 128 bytes long

  • I was talking about branch names, not file names. File duplicates due to case sensitivity aren't a problem on Windows anyway because those are already enforced by the file system. Unless you have people working on Linux that have multiple files with a similar name but with different casing but those should know better.

  • Of course I understand that the money that is put in is invested, but that doesn't mean the problem goes away when the system relies on the "pot" growing at a certain rate.

    EDIT:

    Mismanagement/poorly built systems are not the same as Ponzi schemes. Unless you think, I don’t know, US Social Security is also a Ponzi scheme?

    I'm not implying that it's the same, just that the comparison fits better than you might expect.
