Is CDS a valid analogy for pointers? [closed]
- by Flinkman
So.. bear with me. I just found an analogy to c++ pointers and CDS.
This clip describes CDS(Credit Default Swaps).

"Here we know we have an instrument of a particular financial instrument that is demonstrably dangerous, it creates long chains of risk which are vulnerable to the failure of individual trader or market partipants, in that chain and these instruments in an affect permit the creation of vicious spirals. In which the CDS price interact with the bound price, the market price and you can have a downward spiral."
What my ears are telling me: "Don't create dependences that will create long chains of crashing systems."
Update: Trying to clarify with something that is closer to the readers.
If I change the words:
instrument = construct
financial = language
trader = object
market partipants = c structs
CDS price = uptime
bound price = outcome
market price = ROI(return on incestment)
The quote become more understandable. Look:
"Here we know we have construct of a particular language construct that is demonstrably dangerous, it creates long chains of risk which are vulnerable to the failure of individual object or structs in that chain and these system in an affect permit the creation of vicious spirals. In which the uptime interact with the outcome, the ROI and you can have a downward spiral."
