Hey, there is a long tradition of banning evil math... even Pythagoras did it... But, I guess he at least had good reasons, irrational numbers are super creepy and deserved to be banned.

Rust Analyzer Changelog #253 (rust-analyzer.github.io)

This is a blog post that really is about C++, but with a look at how Rust does things. So, this is an interesting C++/Rust comparison for once.

Last week I basically duplicated the serialization code to provide better debug output.... today, I see this pass in my Mastodon feed. 😀 Well... what are the odds... most likely close to 100% according to how the universe seems to operate.

Producing products that the users wants, and that solves tje users real problems. And not trying to make products as addictive as possible, to harvest as much user data as possible to sell.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ this is a great starting point. Then when you got the basics, and fiddled around a bit, then you can start looking for more specialized books (like Rust Atomics and Locks https://marabos.nl/atomics/ )

Well, not sure an inflation, twice the size of the GDP is positive for a country...

Can someone explain the benefit of letting AWS use your product, then throw resources at it to improve it to get and advantage over your product, basically providing a much better product to their users than you would be able to. But they do it without any need to contribute back. I don't see the benefit of this to the opensource community at all, but people here seems to be quite passionate about it so you must see this differently than I do. So, please explain your view on how such a situation is beneficial to the OpenSource community.

I have been a vim user for more than 20 years. I tried to quit for a couple of years, but now I have just accepted my faith.

Also, it was easier to support X11, since there is no security. You wanted to read other applications key events, no problem. Want to read the screen, without without anyone knowing? No, problem, just read it. With Wayland you must use APIs for stuff, and you are not allowed to do everything.

It's LLMs all the way down.

Absolutely nothing.... but for some reason I find it interesting when people rewrite things that I didn't know needed rewrites. Sometimes these projects are doing someting really interesting. Grep is one such example, noone was saying that grep needed a replacement. In fact, it was used as a benchmark for regex (which is how rg started, to compare rust regex against grep), then someone creates rg that outperforms grep and is much nicer to use. That is also why I keep an eye on GitOxide, since nobody ever accused git of being slow, yet there are someone rewriting git with amazing performance improvements.

The problem with lemmyrs.org seems to be that it is poorly maintained, still on Lemmy 17.4 and few moderators aso. Programming.dev otoh is very well maintained, well moderated and still not a huge centralized place. It also host many other interesting resources for programmers. Also, the structure of lemmyrs.org with many smaller communities doesn't work really well at the moment, it would require a huge number of users to avoid these communities being ghost towns.

To be fair, he merged the original version and not his own.... at least not yet until it have been properly tested.
