OTC CatchUp #200

Date: 07-09-2024

Duration: 3 hrs 30 mins

Topics Discusssed

  • We completed 200 CatchUp sessions! We’re all so happy and proud!

  • We talked about programming languages like C, Go and Rust, mainly discussing the syntax, baked-in native functions and private variable access.

    • Kartik Soneji isn’t the biggest fan of Rust because of the inverted variable declaration syntax (let val:i32 = 5;) and no easy way to access private variables outside their scope for debugging purposes.

    • Ramyak Mehra and Kartik had a prolonged discussion on Rust not having a few features natively built-into the language and thus having to rely on external cargo packages.

    • Ramyak told us that private variables can be accessed outside of their scope using 'Unsage Rust', countering Kartik’s claims that it’s impossible in Rust.

    • Wilfred Almeida told us about Rust’s Some and None keywords.

    • Jaden Furtado shared C skill issue; how the White House is wrong.

  • Alpesh Bhagwatkar asked for Partition Manager recommendations and Siddharth Bhatia recommended EaseUS’s free partition manager.

Projects Showcased

  • Jaden Furtado showcased a simulator he built using Vessel.js.

  • Harsh Kapadia asked for help with his ELF parsing project Parse ELF and Kartik Soneji was able to give him a hint that helped him work out an issue with the indexing to get the data of the Section Name String Table.
