Very easy to install
This has to be a joke.
Why would I hate systemd? It has fixed many of the problems with desktop Linux that many people refused to even admit were problems. This looks like it throws all that away.
Damn straight. I thought bcachefs was a modern filesystem? Why is it case insensitive? Huge red flag.
Technically they do via a footnote... but it's a pretty confusing one at that!
The FLS stood for the "Ferrocene Language Specification". The minimal fork of Rust that Ferrous Systems qualifies and ships to their customers is called "Ferrocene", hence the name. We'll be dropping the expansion and just calling it the FLS within the Project.
So now it stands for... nothing. Bizarre.
It's basically vaguebooking.
It's not hard and fast but:
- API is the actual interface for the functions, not the implementation. It's possible for one API to be implemented by more than one library.
- Library is a bunch of code provided together. It might have more specific meaning depending on the language.
- A package is something you can install. It's pretty much synonymous to library since most packages contain one library.
- A framework is just a library that dictates a lot about how your app works.
Apart from API they don't really have strict definitions so they'll be used interchangeably and differently depending on the language.
The C++ standards committee don't see memory safety or UB as a problem. If they did they wouldn't keep introducing new footguns, e.g. forgetting return_void() in a coroutine. They still think everyone should just learn the entire C++ spec and not make mistakes.
Wow, they (apparently) finally made the REPL not suck! I always thought it was weird how shit it was given that it's one of the big reasons Python has become as popular as it is.
Maybe in another 20 years they can make the package tooling not suck too.
Good. I had a couple of answers to one of my questions that just wasted my time before I realised they were AI. The authors didn't get banned annoyingly.
valid criticism of his own defense
To be clear that post makes a valid point (don't defend people just because they seem nice or dedicated or whatever), but it isn't a valid criticism of Chris's post because he didn't do that.
He did say Tim is nice and dedicated etc. etc. but he also went through the specific crimes that Tim was supposed to have committed and refuted them.
I read a load of Tim's comments and this was definitely a case of the CoC people getting annoyed with someone who disagreed with them and wouldn't give up. There wasn't anything remotely ban-worthy.
Yeah this is one of the main reasons why Stackoverflow's question closing policies are bullshit. We're going to close the question so nobody can answer it... but they can still upvote it and it will still be ranked highly on Google!
Bunch of idiots.
You know the SO Devs actually tried to improve this a while ago - I think you would be able to reopen your question once or something. Of course the power-hungry mods hated that idea and the abandoned it.
At this point it's unfixable. They depend on their unpaid mods and they've already attracted the sort of people you absolutely don't want to moderate a site.
The only hack I've found is that if your question gets downvoted/closed you are allowed to delete it, wait half an hour and ask it again. Much better odds of success than editing the question.

Yeah it's great for little scripts. There's even a
cargo scriptfeature that's being worked on so you can compile & run them using a shebang.I'd use a shell script if it is literally just a list of commands with no control logic or piping. Anything more than that and you're pointing a loaded gun at your face, and should switch to a proper language, of which Rust is a great choice.
