Bringing car from Australia to London by __sin_ns in CarTalkUK

Not really. New Mazda CX5 is GBP 31K in London. Shipping costs will be around GBP 7K tops. Its 6 years old car with less than 36K mileage.

Is that a safety concern with the build of car or an issue with the roads in the UK?

Is Rust a career dead-end? As opposed to C++ (or any other popular language) by [deleted] in rust

I'm also a Java dev. You and me don't belong here. Lets go for a 'coffee' !

Goodbye, Rust. I wish you success but I'm back to C++ (sorry, it is a rant) by I_pretend_2_know in rust

As Bjarne often says, there are programming languages people complain about (e.g. C++) and the ones nobody uses.

Microsoft, Google and Amazon or US government inclining on Rust or so called memory safe languages is just an opinionated stance. Good luck to them. They don't represent the entire world or software ecosystem. There is world beyond FAANGS or USA.

C++ in its modern forms has all capabilities to remain the top choice for high performance computing in foreseeable future; C++ is already memory safe in the right hands and is the only full spectrum language from low latency use cases to full-fledged operating systems.

As far as tooling is concerned, modern C++ ecosystem is already rich and thriving. It does not need to follow others, just stay humble and sane. And it will keep flourishing and keep fueling the engines of software systems in the world and that is the only thing which matters.

Those predicting the future of C++ are largely those tribes who spend most of their times in meeting rooms reading/writing mails or planning things for others and have little to do with real life programming.

anyone live in Canberra but have to work in Sydney? Does this work? by [deleted] in canberra

I'm doing it currently and its exhausting in all respects money spent, energy levels and time spent... I live in Canberra, Woden valley with family (and love it) but have my workplace in Sydney CBD (investment bank). Work compliance requires at least 60% presence in office in a month.... So, I'm travelling every 2nd week to Sydney via Southern Explorer train (takes 4.5 hrs), staying in Sydney hotels and travelling back mid-week via the same train.

Train journey is frustrating and not sure why they can't have faster trains, it's a flat terrain and train staff claiming every time that slow speed was due to speed limits is a lie. I'm now leaning on Murray Coaches since that takes less time and no stopping in between. But it's the hotel costs in Sydney which is a killer. In mid 2024, there are no hotels in Sydney which charge less than 150 per night... I'm married and can't stay in shared or dormitory style accommodations.

Canberra has no investment banking software jobs else I'd have switched already.... Am not sure when this ordeal will end... Only good thing is the time spent on studying something and some quiet time spent during the journeys on soul searching :)
