Prominent C++ developer Herb Sutter has proposed eliminating many dangling and null reference bugs in C++ Remove pointers from the language?
Convert everything to C#? Add garbage collection (of bad C++ programmers)?

The problem being that in my own experience, leaking memory and dangling pointers have been a non-issue for a long time. Leaking native resources, on the other hand, has been a major problem with C#.

After 20 years IPv6 is still a rare thing and the problem it was supposed to solve has mostly gone away. Is it time to face up to the fact that IPv6 is dead? But IPv6 addresses are so easy to remember and share
Of course, that's not the point of them, but do we still need them in this post-NAT network?

According to Reddit[^], in Windows 10 1809, you have to enable IPv6 if you want to use Edge, the Microsoft Store, or any store apps.
I'm sure some people will see that as yet another reason to disable it.

The United Nations accidentally published passwords, internal documents, and technical details about websites when it misconfigured popular project management service Trello, issue tracking app Jira, and office suite Google Docs. Well, they are all about sharing

Do those notes include not reusing the title from the previous post by mistake?

So they "misconfigured" Trello, Jira, and Google Docs
One might be a misconfiguration, but all three at the same time is something else.

I read the whole of the Code of Conduct and would encourage others to do so before commenting as it is quite short.

Yes the how it's used is what most of the outrage is over.
If other communities who've adopted a similar code of conduct are anything to go by social activists will trawl through everyone's social media history and start witch hunting anyone who's ever made a joke about forking repositories.
There's already a few people talking about Ted Tso's controversial opinions (not actions) on certain topics unrelated to the Linux Kernel. Probably more, I haven't been paying close attention.

I might start a Soapbox post on this because I think it's an interesting area for discussion.
