   Not every program is connected to internet nor does they run elevated priviledges, or they run anything where people lives would be at stake. In addition operating systems gives you bunch of safety measures if you design around them. (Obvio

   For sure. I do see the strengths of rust as well. And would most likely use it if i had to write software that absolutely has to be memory safe. It wont prevent other kind of issues however.

   It may replace some software, but it won't really lure many of the C / embedded developers. The problem is that rust developers miss the point of C. People who program with C want the bare minimum, they don't care about class

   Rust doesn't compete with C, rust competes with C++. Rust doesn't get why C programmers still use C at all.

   True. With the snprintf comment I was mostly pointing out str* functions that are designed to either modify or concatenate strings.

   Locale handling and most of the str* function in libc indeed are quite bad. The only sane function for "C strings" is snprintf.

   I really don't see the issue. I've never struggled with git and it's already a muscle memory for me.

    Not sure why this is getting downvoted, but JVM is just as native as browser is. The jetbrains IDE mentioned in the article is especially very clunky and slow resource hog. In fact so much, that I would actually prefer using electron app ov

    What's so hard about the CLI?

    init, clone, add, commit, push, fetch, reset, checkout, status, diff, rebase and cherry-pick are all you need pretty much. I never use merge or pull. Interactive rebase is the most useful git command.

    In practice the benefits of swap mentioned in that article almost never happen on desktop use. I used to use swap on my last install and it was pretty much never used. I don't bother with swap anymore. Server may be different game thou

    Wouldn't it be hilarious to mitm these requests at open hotspot and basically cripple everyone's macs while connected.

    This is a very good comment. See this thread how Riot basically dictates what people are allowed to run or install on their system just to run a stupid game. https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/g3yqxd&#
