I don't think that a `diverse` environment represents a healthy environment. For now, `diversity` is just a buzzword like `machine learning`, `artificial intelligence` or `internet of things`. I believe that people…
I don't really understand these acquisitions made by Microsoft, first Mojang, then Bethesda and now Activision. Is Microsoft trying to revive these companies or it's just trying to leech of the market? At this moment,…
I wasn't even referring to CRuby, I was referring to YJIT especially. For now, it only works on x86_64 Unix like systems (Linux and mac). I doubt that someone will ever port YJIT codegen to these "esoteric"…
The platform `problem` shouldn't be a problem, because you wouldn't use ruby outside of Linux, Windows, Mac, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Rust has support for more than that[1]. Backwards compatibility isn't a concert either,…
My big problem with Zig is that Andrew Kelley is promising a lot of features, but doesn't really deliver much. Zig still can't proper handle UTF-8 strings [1] in 2022, which is kind of unfortunate, because it's a…
Nowadays, I keep my TODOs in the codebase, it's pretty easy to browse through code to find what isn't implemented yet, also it became really popular lately and a lot of plugins for better management appeared. For real…
The idea of completly replacing human beings with chatbots isn't going to succeed. They have their own uses, not very advanced, for example replacing some web interface with chatting in WhatsApp/Telegram, some companies…
After Grammarly spent millions of dollars on Google ads, I expect them not to accept valid criticism on Google platforms. But it's unfair to block a guy that talked about a real flaw in Grammarly's plagiarism checker,…
f-strings would be part of Rust's grammar. `format` macro isn't available in `core` crate, but it is in `alloc` crate, so it needs to allocate memory. f-strings on other hand would be pretty weird. Would `f"5"` return a…
It's a nice Quality of Life addition, that I would like to see with C++ as well. I wish they don't implement f-strings and s-strings, at least for now. Even if they are more ergonomic than the `format!` and…
What's really important for a newcomer (and even more for a 9 year old) is to be motivating and rewarding. For most kids, modding their favorite game or drawing a few lines on a canvas would be fine. The programming…
From what I know, system76 didn't shill cosmos as a rust DE, the only reference to Rust being done in some reddit comment. Most PopOS users don't know what Rust is, so it wouldn't make sense to talk about Cosmos as a…
I'm not an American, but these "fact checks" are not really based on actual facts, but mostly on "correct" opinions. For example, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/06/january-6... or…
So these "factcheckers" are literally the media aka the propaganda machine. I wonder if that's the future we want, a future only politically correct opinions are accepted, otherwise you're called a liar and you lose…
I would like to see that avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328 works with the latest compiler. Some bug in LLVM broke it[1], because it didn't work starting with versions after nightly-2021-01-07[2]. I know that rust team has…

>Dockerfiles are much simpler than nix configuration I highly doubt this, Dockerfiles are simpler for a hello world microservice, but they get worse and unmaintainable when you add them lots of them with docker-compose.…
Durov had multiple posts related to healthy lifestyle where he talked about how bad fast food is and how people should prepare their own dishes. Restaurants. Restaurants offer the slowest and least efficient way to eat.…
I think that they choose gtk-rs because they have experience with it, if you take a look most stuff is written in Rust with gtk-rs. Also I think that they say they won't drop gtk.
That's not really a solution to the problem because the attacker might change the contents of the package instead of adding `postinstall` or `preinstall` hooks. The more realistic solution would be teams of volunteers…
POSIX is not ISO C or C++ standard. On Windows, what are you gonna do? Also, other languages are Rust, Kotlin, Swift (to name a few `modern` ones). Yes, Kotlin and Swift have `first class` CLI parsing libraries, but…
I think that volunteers (some of them maybe paid) should check the validity of code, at least for projects over 10-100k downloads. In case of crates.io (Rust), there is cargo-crev[1]. Also, npm should popularize 2FA.…
Ok, now, what languages beside Python and Go provide Command line argument parsing? And Go doesn't do that in a `professional` way. You either write your own, which can easily turn into a clusterfuck or use a third…
