Great April Fool post. The alleged quote from the Intel CEO nails exactly how to eliminate Spectre and Meltdown types of vulnerabilities.

Definitely no people. Media attention would be far greater if that happened.

Colour me not impressed! As long as you take the free option, I guess you didn't loose much, except maybe some time. Also there is the question of getting bad programming habits, but those can be fixed over time. These days there are many free online course from very reputable sources like MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials[^]. You might want to take a look at some of them. Mircea

It's easy to talk big on the internet. Now just let me see if I can go walk it a bit. :D Sometimes you are absolutely right. Stuff is way more complicated and out of control the world over at the moment. Be willing to accept some unknowable consequences (if you aren't already). I've been maybe both risk-averse and risk-prone about too many of the wrong things. So dropping things (and people, at times) and listening for what screams helps to part wheat from chaff. It's what actually needs my attention. Sometimes, I just don't know how else to move any rocks.

And a whole new cadre of vulnerabilities was just born! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

But you have already instantiated file with the line: ifstream file; So it is very unlikely that file will be null. The open method sets the failbit status if the open fails, and that is what you need to test. If you use STL classes then you must follow the STL rules, not the old C-style ones. See std::basic_ifstream<CharT,Traits>::open - cppreference.com[^] for full details.

You can use an EventHandler in conjunction with a EventWaitHandle to inform the worker thread that the list has changed and pass the new list so that the worker thread is always working with the new list rather than an old list.
