This was my biggest problem with rust, the community is, at a surface level friendly, but the moment you try to say something against the grain you get met with some of the most insufferable people ever. I tried to mention a problem with a

I've had very similar experiences on Windows and Mac. I really wish Moz would fork WebKit or Blink and work on a browser for the modern age.

I like FF as much as the next person and have been using it as my daily driver for a while now, but FF doesn't hold a candle to the responsiveness or snappiness of Chrome. It's especially noticeable on content or media rich sites

More and more I've wanted a browser based on WebKit/Blink from a company with the original Mozilla's values. I know this will get a lot of flack, but Gecko feels way too antiquated for what I want out of a modern browser. Not

idk about a "war" or we, but features aside, zig feels like a less obnoxious language, and i mean that as politely as possible. to make an analogy, rust is like a friend that constantly nags about _everything_; like you know they

I loved the show and picked up the book afterwards (still working my way through it), and ya I think you're right to some extent, but the show feels more additive than reductive; the book, as it is, would not adopt well for television,

i've been playing around with bard a little bit throughout i/o now and it's really good at getting the big picture but tries a little to hard to be vague when asking specifics (unless it's about code, in which case it&#x

i always found this to be a strange pov to have on LLMs. imo, it's not humans tricking/gaming the ai, but rather chatgpt has tricked you into believing it's smarter than it actually is. (in human terms, chatgpt is just more a

Swift and Carbon both seem like very strong contenders in this space. Swift is already a really strong language albeit a little too tied to Apple’s ecosystem. This along with the ownership manifesto slated for Swift 6 (and C++ interop) shou

Mine were mostly third party crates like bitflags and thiserror. Not saying that's what was effecting your build times, I'm not really familiar with your repo (my comment was only directed at my proj), but also it's pretty ha

This is pure speculation, but I suspect egregious use of proc macros in Rust also inflate compilation times a bit. Just speaking anecdotally, but removing proc macros in one of my hobby projects decreased clean build by about ten seconds. D

Same, I was really hopeful that Rust was going to fill the void of a modern systems language (been following it since around 0.6), but judging by the direction it's been headed the since 1.0, state of libs and the ecosystem, and the ge

I think there are different ways to look at boilerplate, some of which languages like C++ and Rust are great at handling through their standard libraries, but there is also code boilerplate that needs language support handle well. defer and

> It's very easy to see that tribal behavior is hardwired into the brain All this study showed was that it was present in adult men, nothing about whether or not this is learned behavior or instinctual, or gender differences.

This is a remarkably extreme take for what was actually presented in the article.

This is really nice to see; apart from the weirdly named, macOS specific NS* apis, Swift has been a real pleasure to use and, refreshingly, feels like a language designed for humans first. I hope this means Swift has a chance to eat Rusts’

Front page test – an ethical standard for behavior that evaluates each action through the lens of the media/outside world. Example: What would happen if HN found out we’re mining our users’s IMs? I feel like I might be okay with it

I'm in the same boat as you. I learning Haskell earlier this year, and while I really really want to like it (if nothing else, I'm a sucker for type systems) and even start using it for projects I can't when, IMO, there are l
