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…

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…

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 c…

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 …

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 kin…

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…

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 chatti…

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 fl…

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…

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 ergono…

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 ca…

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 …

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…

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, otherwis…

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…

Never be so sure, https://twitter.com/vm_call/status/1405937492642123782 .

>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…

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 …

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 …

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 `firs…

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[…

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…
