Do you have any articles or any info on why they decided to stop using Rust? I remember seeing things about them using Rust but never saw anything about them not using it and I'm c…

It's really sad because this is the first time I heard about this campaign. Had I known earlier I would have pledged sooner and spread the word around.

I'm pretty sure this is a dupe of a post from just a few days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22098001

I think this might need a 2013 tag?

That seems like something that wouldn't be super valuable to put in place until all of the commands are completed, or at least close to completed.

I'm curious what parts of Rust you think are safer than Python. Edit: The only big thing I can think of is the safety of compile-time type checking to ensure you won't end up with …

I don't think that analogy is a fair comparison to make because it doesn't fairly portray that Purism doesn't have a choice in this. It is the upstream manufacturers who control th…

I suppose I can understand this reasoning a bit, but it seems a little counter intuitive to me. There is literally no alternative. And without efforts like this it's unlikely there…

Considering how they phrased it and the fact that no phone has the FSF's RYF certification I would tend to think it's because it's currently impossible. That they took the time to …

I don't exactly see the Linux kernel dev community as being inclusive, so that's not really an apt comparison. Nor is it a language-based community. It's a very specific set of peo…

> Write a code of conduct, make sure everyone is respected, and make that the end of it. But that's exactly what all of your examples are. In each situation the decision and action…

But it's true that there's nothing inherently "bad" about the code. It's just not conforming to the standard style. It seems pretty reasonable to want that to sound less menacing t…

This looks like it needs a (2016) tag in the title.

I'm not sure this really makes sense. It sounds like RedHat didn't hammer it down throats, but instead created a solution that had some guarantees of support and traction which dis…

Number 6 (more customization, highlighting complete themes) and number 8 (unique extensions, highlighting Tree Style Tabs) are shortly going to be things of the past. Neither of th…

It's not as user-hostile as I originally assumed (I thought it was built and enabled with no option to turn it off). As long as it can be completely disabled so that nothing will e…

The title is slightly misleading since it is specifically the optional (but installed by default on Ubuntu) systemd-resolved package (an ancillary package under the systemd name), …

I regularly use VS Code, and this is one of the few features that I don't miss much until I need it, and then I really, really wish it had support for it. This is definitely one of…

I see this kind of thing mentioned a lot which really disappoints me because systemd is not as monolithic as people seem to think it is. systemd (the init system) is a relatively s…

This is somewhat off-topic, but I'm curious since every person who has had this sentiment that I've known was unable to provide specific parts which were lacking. Do you perhaps ha…

The 7.6 release was no more unstable than the 8.0 release. Unless you're referring to the fact that 8.0 is going to be a LTS release. But if that's the case, it's not happening for…

Async/await support (without the --harmony flag) was made default in version 7.6 when they updated V8 to version 5.5. The biggest additions here with regard to async/await is the n…

> It's the fourth most downloaded crate.[1] Somebody may have "deprecated" it, but the users aren't paying attention. The most downloaded stat appears to be for the most downloaded…

As someone who hasn't followed the actual specifics here, do you happen to have any links to those discussions/issues or other places these things happened? I'd really like to see …
