Last year's Advent of Code had a task that was NP complete and lacked good well known approximation algorithms. I almost gave up on it when I realised as that feels impossible In practice the data was well behaved…
It would be most fair to hash the names first, especially for this paper
"Probably beyond help" means they're not going to change their opinions no matter what, so trying to find phrasing that helps change their opinions is a waste of time. Being a musk supporter in this day and age isn't a…
I think there are lots of sort of tuned out but generally nice people who might shy away from buying a tesla if the perfidity of Musk is mentioned whenever tesla is discussed. The people who like Musk are probably…
It's pretty useful to remind people that buying a tesla is supporting Musk.
Singletons are just globals for people who have learnt "globals are bad" but lack a deeper understanding
With tesla, the bad apple is in charge
yeah, it follows their documentation, it's just a bad idea. A lot of the things they break are pretty minor cleanups and it seems they could easily not have broken things. Many other languages, even compiled languages…
That's fair. Too many languages and frameworks are all too happy to break things for pointless cleanups or renames. Python for example makes breaking changes in minor releases and seems to think it's fine, even though…
Often some bits are automatable, or some manual steps are verifiable, and then suddenly it's a do something script
When I do this I keep some persistent state so I can interrupt it, e.g. if the thing is a yearly task I run it like `./do-the-thing.sh 2025`, and make a 2025 dir where I keep state on how far I've gotten So if you OK…
I do this for some yearly tax stuff, as the big issue for me is that it was a year since I did it last and getting started with a complex and boring thing is hard So I built a script that tells me what the first step…
It just means it's in the best shape of any of the languages in it's domain
wow, that's an amazingly impossible standard no software lives up to. Or much technology at all. If you use anything that is 1000 years old, it's probably been maintained or cared for a lot during those 1000 years
Because security is hard and there are people constantly working on finding new issues. It's a bit like asking why the army needs tanks when horses worked well the previous war
> Also, why do I have to install new software in every couple of months to access my bank account, secure chat, flight booking system, etc., etc., without any noticable difference in operation and functionality. A lot…
I haven't seen that as much. The horde of people chasing the hype curve left C behind long ago. When they leave rust, rust will be better off
You can't rely on an authority to step in every time some disagrees. People need to resolve their own conflicts rather than yell until bailed out
It would be a silly strategy compared to saying that mixing languages is a bad idea and rely on inertia. Also, letting rust in doesn't seem to stop the personal attacks, case in point
If you're gonna lead a group of people effectively, you kinda have to listen to them. leading by decree works occasionally, but you can't afford to do it often. If there's a lot of people sceptical to rust, doing a…
This seems like black and white thinking. There's a huge spectrum between > "suck it up, buttercup" or "I hear you; rust is gone". where various levels of compromise happens. Maintainers are people and people can change…
Perhaps you could fork the kernel and start a better community?
If we were dealing with a toddler, one could blame the parent for rewarding their misbehaviour attention... an adult developer not so much
It's not without merit. Two languages is an extreme cost in complexity compared to one, and you have to be a deep expert in both to fully figure out anything on the boundary. Perhaps rusts potential benefits are worth…
Any trending language will attract some not so great people who make their choice of a shiny language their whole personality. It's really a pity for rust to be in that position now, as those people are there for the…
