5 for me too. It was a tease as I thought I could crack it in second go given the letters I got. But I soon realized I knew so many words with those letters.

Five for me too - partly because I used a word that didn't completely fit the known letters on guess 4 to eliminate an extra vowel.

4 for me, but third one was a stupid guess - I should have gone straight for the fourth.
My two starting words proved a good general strategy for other days too.

Just made it in hard mode, though it was 50/50 to get it in 5.

Me too; only 2nd game I've tried. Think it's a good thing they restrict to 1 a day!

6 for me. Only missing one letter after 4, the middle. A 50/50 guess and I guessed wrong.

My wordle journey today was an unusual one (for me, at least):
⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜
⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜
🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
The first three tries, the yellow box was the same letter. Having only one letter to go on after three guesses didn't portend well, I was getting nervous. For guess 4 I decided to see what I could mash together out of my one known letter and the remaining un-spent letters, and I got lucky (I think; perhaps there was only one possibility left at that point?).

She has a few good points interspersed in her rant, such as it's nearly impossible for a human to parse a C header file, especially for a large project. Her other complaints aren't with C so much as they are with other languages and the fact that they don't provide the same level of expressive power as C, which means they have to bastardize themselves to call C functions to provide additional features.

Does 2+ million lines of custom code constitute a large project?
I'm asking for a friend, I swear.
|
|

|

Yes, though not huge. I worked on a system whose product lines ran to over 30 million lines of code. Of course, there was a smaller system struggling to get out, but copy-paste was fairly common of out fear that tweaking something to make it reusable would break it.

Hmmm,
I read everything and don't see anything that I disagree with.
Aria is a Rust developer and is essentially saying that C isn't a language from their viewpoint. They are calling it a 'protocol' because Rust needs to 'speak' with operating system components that are written in the C/C++ language.
Aria Beingessner, wrote: Now C is the lingua franca of programming. That's an interesting way of putting it. It's true, yes anything on Windows or Linux will need to interact with thousands of libraries written in C/C++. Everything needs to speak C on an operating system written in C.
The Rust language can mitigate the undefined behavior that plagues the C family but I think we are decades away from that. The Linux kernel maintainers have stated that they might be adopting Rust. There is a similar discussion taking place at Microsoft.
Good read,

C is on 99% of the device we use. Without it, she couldn't drive to get to work nor use public transportation nor connect from home. She wouldn't have a smartphone, her computer wouldn't boot, her television wouldn't turn on.
Therefore I'm happy when people move away from C and try to use the new shiny Bappyscripts: it gives me job safety and a strong bargaining position. I refused more job offers in the last 2 years than many people receive in their lifetimes (on average I reject 1 offer / week, counting the weeks I receive 4 offers and weeks I don't get bothered). And I'm in a very, very, very small pond.
Also, Amazon is stalking me with 4 e-mails per week in which they also ask me how is it going with my current employer, with whom I work only since January. Apparently they have nobody fit to develop firmware for their autonomous drones and would love me to move 8800 km to work in Austin, TX.
