A huge percentage of the security vulnerabilities in C and C++ programs are due to memory bugs etc that comes from rushed or careless programming. Why not write in memory-safe systems languages like Rust that can completely avoid these entire classes of bugs?

I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?

Look at the real statistics. Everyone is using Chrome. Even among developers.

We are outliers. On Linux devices I use FF derivatives (Floorp, LibreWolf), and on macOS I’m using Orion RC.

This for me is probably the only thing I’ll find useful from it. I’d like to know at a quick glance what the long email is about (but that’s what the subject line is for?), and if there was anything specific that I’m going to need to take action on later.

But the idea of AI “cleaning up” my writing is dreadful.

The first and only thing I want to know about Apple Intelligence is how to turn it off.

Oh good, I’m using English (UK), so it won’t work to begin with.

They spelled “wage theft” wrong.

When I lived in the UK what I felt among friends is that the BBC had a perceived bias towards the Conservative Party, although this may simply be a bias towards the government regardless of who in power. It’s been the Tories for the past decade before Starmer.

Mostly, yes. The decentralized identity system is not.

My fear with Bsky is even though it’s open source we’ll still just end up with one large VC funded company controlling the one big instance everyone uses and then enshittification begins.

This is always one of the first things I setup on a project and teach or encourage my teams to do… I’m always surprised how many devs would rather use print statements all the time (not just in Rust, but especially JS/TS) when it only takes like 5 minutes to configure the debugger. Maybe 10 minutes if you need to search how to open the debugging port in Chrome/FF.

The worst is when you’re not expecting it and get ambushed with a whiteboard…

Is it actually ready to use? I don’t see much information about how to use it. I know there’s been work on integrating cosmic-text, but I notice this issue is still open: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/320

The main issue I’ve come across experimenting with Rust UI frameworks is that none of them seem to have a decent multiline / rich text field story. Iced and the like are nice for simple apps but if you need to e.g. input Markdown and render it nicely all in one field you’re out in the wilderness.

Yup, I’ve already been really frustrated by this… Google’s search results are so useless, full of advertisements, blogspam, astroturfing, etc, the only way to read about genuine reviews and experiences about stuff is to add " reddit" to the end of my search queries.

I wouldn’t say “martial law”, but if they’re gearing up for their IPO then I wouldn’t be surprised if they take “harsh” measures to kick out uncooperative mods and force subs to reopen.

Cool, done and done

as a Rust and Neovim enthusiast I’m happy to help with c/rust and c/neovim
