Comment on: In 1987 a radiation therapy machine killed and mutilated patients due to an unknown race condition in a multi-threaded program.

All that caused by incrementing a flag variable instead of setting it. Wow.

Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"

Comment on: I've pretty much learned the basics of C++ so far in university, what else can I learn with this knowledge with not too much difficulty?

Java will be a cake walk compared to c++, provided you have a good grasp of object-oriented design.
