As I remember, the initial versions of Git would have been a chore to use; the intention was for it to be only the "plumbing", with a more friendly front-end layered on top. So it took a good few years to change that, and for it t

I believe USB HID drivers have been in userspace for quite some time, in part precisely to provide a stable interface. I'm not sure why the Wacom drivers are an exception though: https://linuxwacom.github.io/

You say "much more", but the models of healthy eating don't really differ that much in practice. Both prescribe a balanced plate with carbs, proteins, and "other" vegetables. The omnivore model calls for half the pl

That site is a bit confusingly laid out; the page I linked to introduces the vegan diet for all age groups, while the part you quoted concerns the recommendations for the omnivore diet. In the material that maternity clinics hand out, the e

B12 supplementation is recommended for a vegan diet at any age. Besides that, I'm not sure what you mean by careful management. Eating a normal varied diet where the proteins come from plant sources gets you covered. Where I live, a ve

The end result is unsafe Rust that uses raw pointers. This kind of tool can be used e.g. as a starting point for rewriting codebase piece by piece, retaining the original functionality as a baseline.

I'm not sure what counts as a non-system context these days. Most of my experience with using Rust in production was with a message queue type of service, where the desire was to minimize latency and to have consistent performance over

That is also true. But as said, I haven't yet personally run into a case where refcounting was contested to a point of making it an optimisation priority.

On the other hand, some of it sticks. For one thing, gaming on Linux has improved by leaps and bounds approximately since the announcement of Windows 10.

> to "save the environment" This is an odd straw man to bring out, when the goal is very explicitly to reduce carbon output. Also nothing so far implies that the legislation is impossible to fix once the electric fleet exists.

Or: Assuming a vacuum, solving the right problem is more important than solving it the right way. But also, solving it the wrong way may create an opportunity to do better.

Probably not. Most people in the 90s had their personal websites in some shared hosting service, while clients across the board were and still are predominantly Windows.

There are many ways to make pesto, and to make it plant based as well. My current favourite when preparing it myself is to grind smoked roasted almonds and nutritional yeast flakes.

Copying, refcounting and locking work within the exact same semantics. They're among the most typical tools that are used to transmit or share data, so I'm not sure why it should be strange to see them used in most real programs?

For the most part, lifetime is inferred from scope, so there isn't anything special to figure out; objects live exactly for as long as you can see and use them. This also includes such things as lock handles, or references to refcounte
