  • I’ll reiterate, if it was a null pointer exception (I honestly don’t know that it was, but every comment I’ve made is based on that assumption, so let’s go with it for now) then I absolutely can blame C++, and the code author, and the code reviewer, and QA. Many links in the chain failed here.

    C++ is not a memory safe language, and while it’s had massive improvements in that area in the last two decades, there are languages that make better guarantees about memory safety.







  • There’s a flip side to this too. First world countries that are completely opposed to immigration are starting to see a significant population decline which will come with a whole host of other problems.

    And in the US at least it’s actually extremely difficult to immigrate through legal means. You have to be a qualified professional and generally have to be sponsored by an employer to get a green card, or have family members that are citizens. The main issue is people that abuse loop holes to get into the country without going through the immigration process. And I agree, that’s a problem that needs to be solved. It really does a disservice to the hard working immigrants that work their ass off to become US citizens/permanent residents the legal way.
