The general conclusions on that thread are seemingly agreed upon by most of the Rust community, insofar as I've seen. YMMV, but I don't think they're premature. That said, there's no real reason it can't be improved

The vast majority of the reactions from Rust devs to that article - from core language people to random devs like myself - is general agreement. It's understandable why the overzealous-Rust-dev stereotype exists, but I would feel comfo

I mean, your comment is actually contributing to the problem. You can 100% criticize the community - and thus push them to clean up that shit - without straying into characterizing it like that. It's fanning the flames and just doesn&#

> documentation is nonexistent You know, I think this point is important to get right: there are generally docs, Rust does a very good job of making it easy to write docs. What doesn't always exist are guides that explain ho

I've been writing Rust professionally (and predominantly) for ~5+ years now, with brief detours in game dev. I'll defer to others who are dedicated game devs, but overall I think this article is well written and a healthy thing

Rust has had tier 3 support for the Switch since 1.64, I believe. Someone had actually done it even before that but IIRC NDAs mucked up any movement on making that public.

A cynical take is that VCs still focus on the USA because the environment is far more lax and/or easy to take advantage of. That’s not an easy scenario for other countries that care to counter.

Probably the most impressive browser-based game I've played in my 20+ years of being on the web. Hats off to the creators, very nicely done. Parts of it gave me Metroid Prime vibes that I haven't felt since I was a kid.

Link an actual study with verifiable results, otherwise you’re just another commenter shouting into the void.

The way I describe Reddit to people is that you have zero clue if you’re arguing with a 13 year old who discovered $x concept this week. (Or a bot) If you move through the site with that understanding - and personally, using the old interfa

Many of us have developed for this platform for decades and are just willing to call a spade a spade. ;P

> Not the commenter you responded to, but I'm guessing they meant "inheritance" as a programming practise, not the CSS-specific meaning. Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for jumping in and clarifying. :)

You mean the loans all taken out by young adults, many of whom are never actually taught anything financial prior to that loan stage? This is a predatory system. You can pat yourself on the back for digging out of it, but you should want b

You mean CSS sprite sheets, or is there another technique that I somehow missed all these years?

by Klonoar 3y ago
As more web development (in JavaScript) moves away from anything resembling inheritance, the cascade in CSS starts to feel annoyingly out of place. It’s perhaps subtle but a noteworthy distinction in my mind. I struggled with letting go of

There are far more startups/products using that tagline of "used by developers all over the world"/"used by $x company" than our industry seems to want to admit.

I was passing through NZ a few months ago and noticed this, wound up chatting to a security guy about this. They’re apparently (slowly) trying to change this?

Well, no, that's not really a fair assessment. Someone is quite literally doing "rails but for Rust" with loco: https://loco.rs As far as I know, the bulk of this effort has been one developer pushing it along. I

This take is so tired. They’re stuck posting where engagement is because there’s nowhere near the level of discussion elsewhere. Participating in something and trying to discuss how it could be improved when you disagree with it is normal h

I think he did an AMA on Reddit a few weeks ago and is now living in Europe. If my memory is correct it slightly complicates the hikikomori claim, but whatever.

This is one of those points where you need to link to some kind of data or conclusive result actually showcasing this, because you're arguing against a pattern that's been in browser ecosystems for decades. I've done this for

The people who hate systemd are effectively a loud minority, and for some reason always seem incapable of discussing the supposed issues with it without resorting to hyperbolic statements like “legitimately insane”.

I will never understand how someone can call GTK4 ugly, as it actually gets general spacing correct unlike 90% of QT projects out there.

Considering the move to SUVs and crossovers and the like, I’ll just say this: these headlights are hell for you if you’re driving a car that’s lower to the ground because they hit you directly at eye level now. The entire headlights issue i

Come to Seattle WA, where just about _nothing_ is reflective and driving at night in the rain is a game of “sure hope I’ve driven this road before and know the layout”.

Unrelated to their point, but if you click on the "view a query" icon in a presentation and then try to get the popover to disappear, it's stuck and doesn't go away. (Safari)

This has been debunked repeatedly - that's not a big issue if you're actually eating a balanced diet, which you should be doing . (Plus tofu is fine here)
