Well, for specific licenses there are use cases for MPL, which is weak copy left. LGPL is trying to state that statical linking is not allowed, while MPL does. Also, EUPL have simmilar advantages over AGPL, plus that it have very clear defined legal juristiction. So, when it comes to specific licenses there are many reasons to use whatever licence you use. Just make sure you use a license that reflects your expectations.

What I feel looks interesting with "on rails" is that you get things like database management built in, like setup, upgrades aso. Of course, this also means that it might be difficult to jump off the rails if you need that. And even if I feel like I'm not the target audience, since I prefer to pick and choose smaller libraries, I'm watching this with interest since Ruby on Rails seems to be quite popular.

Good that this gets some visibility, looks like a frustrating thing to debug.

This sounds really great and will probably have quite an impact on a lot of users. So, nice work!

I like that they now have rustls 0.21 support! Not that I know anything wrong with rustls 0.20, but I was always annoyed that cargo outdated pointed out that my rustls was outdated, and I wan't allowed to fix it :)

Well, duplicate communities might also be on purpose, to lessen centralization. I see many that try to migrate away from lemmy.ml, and this community is one of them. I agree that it might be a bit confusing, but it is easily worked around by subscribing to both communities.

This post seems to have taken the title from a previous post that this is built upon. So that is probably why the title gets a bit confusing when viewed standalone.

Must be some glitch or something, the link is there for me... but here is the link anyway: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-rust-easy-tue-henriksen

Well, Sync for Reddit is basically being kicked off Reddit, so a new app is being created to work with Lemmy. Of course it is in the app developers interest to promote the new applicataion, and from what I understand they plan to do so by adding a popup to sync informing them of the new Sync for Lemmy application. And if they are pointing Reddit users to Lemmy, it is only logical that they want the users to be able to easy find their place and find the communities of interest... so i don't understand why they should not do that. What you are saying is that they should not try to make any users use their new app they have spent time developing, and that just doen't make any sense. But I agree that they should not promote any particular instance or specific community, which is why I pointed to services that list all instances and makes it easy to find a suitable instance, and makes it easy to find communities that matches any particular subreddit.

a crate may contain may different parts, and you may not always want all of them to avoid bloat. For an example, a crate may contain a sync and an async version, but you will probably only want one of them. So then the crate exposes the different parts as features. In clap they have defined the default features as:

default = ["std", "color", "help", "usage", "error-context", "suggestions"]

So, then if you need to use functionality not included there, then you have to specify it in your features list. On https://docs.rs/crate/clap/latest you can find a drop down in the top menu with Feature Flags, then they also have the documentation for the feature flags here https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/_features/index.html

I have 2 categories, either Classical Music ( actually my preferred classical programming music is The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018 by Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and I'm not entirely sure it qualify as "Classical" ) or 80-style hard rock (Like the soundtrack for Peacemaker)

A summary of the Sweden/NATO/Turkey situation. Sweden wants to join NATO. US wants Sweden to join NATO. Turkey and Sweden have had some frosty relations due to Sweden criticising Turkey in various matters.

Turkey was using the situation to pressure US to sell them F16. Then some right wing activists in Sweden (with some ties to Russia) used the opportunity to upset Erdogan by burning the Quran outside of their Embassy. Which then gave Turkey the opportunity to act very offended, and could put even more pressure on US to get the F16. NATO was then hoping for Erdogan to lose the election, which he unfortunately didn't do (at least officially). So, now my guess is that they are back to talking about getting the F16, hence Erdogan is doing public statements about Sweden not joining any time soon.
