That's awesome. I'm currently studying Rust, but I'm looking forward to giving Nim a try in a year or two. I really like the syntax, and if it can offer the same safety and performance as Rust, then I see a bright future for

I was stuck for a long time until I gave in and clicked the hint button, only to find out that different plants could be combined. I think all of them can, since I paired up several during the game.

I don't know much about Rust, and even less about Nim, but does this mean that Nim will have the same safety guarantees that Rust has? Also, can you really just add something like that down the line and ensure that the whole ecosystem

To a lesser extent so far, yes. As you mentioned there's the Fuchsia stuff, and some other smaller open source repositories. But there's also other areas, for example Android. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNkFSC

I've had my desktop PC for almost 9 years now. It has gone from Windows 7 to Windows 8 to Windows 10. It has only crashed once during this time. I haven't reinstalled Windows since I got Windows 10 when it was released.

Microsoft and Facebook are also hiring developers to work on Rust. Google, Apple, and many other big companies use Rust as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same. This is very good imo. Rust needs dedicated developers th

You're right. Just by looking at job posts you'll see requirements to know several languages, frontend frameworks, databases, enterprise services, and so on. The modern programmer is often a jack of all trades, but a master of non

Yet it feels very common to see employers buy subpar equipment, because they either don't understand how much of a difference it makes, or it "costs too much" to give every developer higher quality tools. I'm also in the

Scaleway tried ARM and failed: https://www.theregister.com/2020/04/21/scaleway_arm64_cloud_... But as you can see at the end of the article, other providers are considering/using ARM more.

That discussion was in an email conversation with, among others, Finland, where they stated that they've had the same thoughts about herd immunity. All countries have discussed herd immunity at some point. However, herd immunity was ne

I assumed it was just a tongue-in-cheek joke because of all the pictures with trash in them.

I was also a bit confused by this. The front page says that the pricing structure is simple, but they tell you nothing about what you're paying for... I had to go to the docs to find an answer. https://docs.m3o.com/faq#

> my code is now 20x times shorter (from 800 files to 40 files) Well, do you have all of the bells an whistles that you had with .NET? I mean, you can shrink a .NET API down to pretty much just 1 file if you really want to. The question

What the... Is that a function with a 560000+ lines long comment inside of it, that gets turned into a string, then sliced, and split on newlines, then assigned to a global variable that gets used in another global function? It took a minut

I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to Svelte/Sapper. I've looked at it, but never used it. However I did recently spot that they're already working on a successor to Sapper called Svelte Kit. So maybe that's w

I agree. I have absolutely no idea what was changed in most of those commits. If I relied on this framework it would be a pain in the * to trace down when a potential bug was introduced, or to just get an overview of what's being wor

Bevy even mentions Godot as an inspiration for building the editor using Bevy itself. The creator of Bevy has a lot of experience with Godot, so I'd assume we're going to see bits and pieces resembling how Godot works.
