It's like predicting that flying will never be a mode of transportation while laughing about Wright brothers's planes crashing

If I'm not mistaken, especially with x11, it is trivial to install a keylogger without root password. Just a process in the background that listen to your keys and send them over t…

I was thinking the same. But then I thought about it more and wondered why you need to enter your own password if you're already logged on. If an attacker is already in the system,…

I don't understand this website and why it always get linked. It's just a list of a bunch of crates unsorted. Most of them are unmaintained, or just early prototypes. There isn't a…

> I don't even understand how is that possible, since Qt Creator is GPL3. Because doing so would be violating the terms of the commercial Qt license you paid for.

Regarding the sloc count, the default automated Rust formating tool is very eager to adds lot of lines by basically keeping only one word per line. Something I'm not a fan of, I mu…

I mean, there might be effect, but do you have a quantification of these. Like maybe you get 0.1% more likely to catch cancer if you eat these mushroom, but when you compare that t…

> 150k people had to leave their homes because they were not safe. The fact that they were not safe is disputed. There are claim that there was some over-reaction and that the evac…

For GUI programming, you can use a toolkit that have a preview extension that updates in real time as you type. For example, Slint does that.

Yes that's right. The thing is that people have been using the term OCD as a pejorative term for someone who is "detail oriented" and that need to be avoided. (When not referring t…

I think it's the same reason why we are teaching assembly even if there are compilers. Or teaching Latin even though it's a dead language

Nice article, but there are many errors or typo that makes it hard to follow. (Is it a typo or do I not understand that part) For example, his use of 'unsafe': why functions that d…

'comptime' only works if all arguments are known at compile time and the function can be evaluated at compile time. This is not the same as inlining, which puts the body of the fun…

With BSD, you're giving every company the right to take your code and use it without returning any favour at all. With the CLA it's the same. But at least Signal give back by still…

I don't really understand this ethical framework. What can be done with these paintings? Must they be destroyed, or anything else is "profiting off victims of Nazis"?

Yeah, but the compiler need to see through all the functions to find out that there is no const_cast and therefore makes const useless because it could as well see it is not modifi…

And event const can't in general be used for optimizations (because there can be another reference to the same location, or one can just const_cast)

> This may come down to how good the language is at capturing desired semantics in a library. Rust still has a long way to go to catch up with C++ on this axis, and C++ is not wait…

Exactly what C++ to C at the beginning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cfront

CppFront is a different project entirely. It's like saying C++ is C's future

Mass is energy

There is also Slint: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint which is written entirely in rust. The UI is fairly similar to Qml. And you can have the logic in Rust or in C++.

Why compiling on the pi, instead of cross compiling?

Easy: just learn Mandarin /s
