Sadly the Android app is no longer maintained, and it hasn't been released for newer versions of Android.

Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.

You can't configure an immutable distro by a sequence of mutations.

Isn't that literally how ostree works?

Politicians start listening to scientists about climate change. They implement policies to reduce emissions. Humanity saves itself from itself.

I'm not familiar with discrimination laws in Australia. In the US there are exceptions in the Civil Rights Act (1964) for "private clubs" though I don't think courts have consistently defined what that means.

I'm very curious to hear how this case turns out under Australian law. Personally I think it's counterproductive to exclude trans women from a women-only social club. But if a US court ruled this social club was in fact a "private club" then they could legally discriminate in whatever way they desire, be that by excluding men or trans women.

Easy install is not the only benefit. You also get fearless upgrades. When I upgrade my Nvidia driver and it inevitably exposes bugs in one of my apps, I can always jump back to the previous build version without uninstalling anything.

Helix is great. And it's written in Rust so I feel pretty comfortable working in the codebase. The maintainers are friendly. I think it will eventually leave other modal terminal editors in the dust, considering rate of development.

It has shortcomings from being young, but they are rapidly disappearing. The philosophy of being mostly "batteries included" is so refreshing compared to the configuration hell of NeoVim.

the Rust folks wouldn’t care about the in-memory representation as long as the compilation is on point.

Well I can't speak for everyone, but Rust is very intentional about supporting things like repr(C). At least some of us care a lot.

The first figure showing color-coded effort is close, but I would say Rust's blue "business logic" portion should be smaller. Pattern matching and linear data types can encode a state machine so much more accurately than C. You're more likely to get the business logic right the first time if you know what patterns to use.
