Not sure I understand this. Is it a watch clippy? Or a completely new tool? If it’s new, what does it provide over clippy?

172·10 days agoYour post is nearly the epitome of Chesterton’s Fence. You don’t seem to understand why Rust looks the way it does, works the way it does, why it exists, what it’s used for, and what problems it solves, but you’re very happy (or not, which is probably why you wrote this post) to trash it.
There are many responses to your comments that explain things quite well, yet, from what I see, you do not seem to concentrate on those.
And what I quoted is just the icing on top. It looks very much like you have one style of programming and approaching problems (the PHP style of “if it runs, it’s good”) and apply it to every problem. You have used a hammer your whole life and every problem looks like a nail. You can build a good many things with duct tape, nails, and a hammer. It might all do the job well enough for your standards or purposes and at times it might even be the perfect tool for a task.
But now you’ve discovered a screw driver, tried to hammer in a nail, and gotten quite frustrated that it didn’t work well. Instead of considering using a screw, you have tossed aside the screwdriver and decided to yell expletives into the ether.The ether has responded with explanations, but you have chosen to ignore them all and staunchly hold on to your “screwdrivers are shit” conclusion. Had you said “I’m just blowing off steam, don’t take this seriously”, that’s what it would’ve been. However, you seem quite serious. Or, as I said before, you’re just trolling.
Oh but in rust you learn more about computers/low level concepts, you’re just not good at coding”
Who cares? Coding is a tool to get shit done and I think devs forget this way too often, like if one works easier than the other why does learning lower level stuff matter?
This is pure junior energy. Or trolling, I honestly can’t tell.
- Microsoft: 70% of bugs are memory safety bugs
- Google Chrome devs: Chrome: 70% of all security bugs are memory safety issues
Even this article of the thread states it dropped from 76% to 24% through the introduction of Rust.
If you seriously think:
- most of those memory bugs were because “engineers didn’t care” or “didn’t double check their code”
- the bugs were mostly introduced by newbies
- those products were coded by incompetent people
I’d like to see the water you walk on.
Linux Foundation, this is what could happen if you invested more than 2% in kernel development.
Aren’t most of those due to Brazilians? 3M or so?
ATM? Active … Monthly? Can’t make out what it stands for…
Misskey? 🤔 I heard it’s something Japanese? So probably a lot of Japanese fediverse users use it? I don’t think I’ve seen somebody from misskey in my interactions with the fediverse. Are they self-contained or something?
374·25 days agoDecisions like these are why they can’t move away from proprietary platforms. How much does it really cost to host and maintain this? A single employee could host a mastodon, peertube, and lemmy instance. The employee could also work full-time on one of the projects to address issues.
They also only had 6 accounts on the instance - out of how many politicians and bureaus?
Anyway… shame.
Lemmy should have the option to defederate from instances depending on automated criteria. Sign ups without admin checks are a great attribute to use for defederation, because it leads to such abuse. I’ve finally blocked most communities and instances that have news about US politics and have a clean feed, but for newcomers, that shit is everywhere.
Oh, this is great! I had a few usecases for this back in the day, but never bothered implementing any of the algorithms myself. Do you use these yourself? (from the name I assume you’re the author?)
2·1 month agoAh, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.
Oh wow… This might be what the rust in Linux people need to switch to. Fuck all the LKML bullshit, fuck mailinglists, fuck C, fuck the shitty tooling and hodgepodge of languages. This looks amazing. Seriously, cargo run and the kernel starts up in a VM? How friggin cool is that?
Wow…
Again, the Linux kernel needs more funding. For crying out loud, these kinds of people holding back progress should be made obsolete (by bringing in and paying talent that is willing to work towards a brighter future with less memory errors, a sane tech stack with better tooling, and better processes). Holding back progress because of their incessant pearl clutching “but my dearest C!!!” Just hurts everybody and impedes progress.
Of course blindly adding the latest and greatest is asking for trouble. Assessing risk, weighing options, making a plan and continuously assessing impact is definitely important, but straight up blocking the road on principle is extremely unproductive.
People will never learn, will they? You give them AP and they go for the Jack Dorsey clone. Amazing
Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.
Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.
Nearly expected. The Linux Foundation doesn’t spend nearly enough money on the linux kernel to get new blood into it willing to contribute what is necessary (in this case Rust).
I’d very much welcome a crates.io alternative that doesn’t require github and supports namespacing by username or org. The dependency on a proprietary platform rubs me the wrong way.
