Hey, we're not so many in the 45-60 range. Are we already dead ?

Even since brexit ? I'm not so sure.

It depends for who. I just need a fast mobile machine with lots of RAM for doing compilations and CPU-intensive work. I don't care about the GPU or sound. An M1 with Asahi looks fantastic to me.

Impressive. This will make me choose an M1 to replace my XPS. You should be paid by Apple for this.

> 99% of projects I don't know where you got this figure from, but I highly doubt 1% of Rust projects use a different build/package system. More like 0.001% (this number is scientifically extracted from thin air).

Exactly. Whereas writing Rust and rushing can give you correct, robust software.

This is a law for today. When batteries will last 100 years, the law will change. I find this law quite good.

Well that's precisely the mindset of C/C++. You have to think by yourself about everything that can go wrong with your code. And, man, lots of things can go wrong. I find more modern languages so much less exhausting to use to wri

I have a Renault Zoé, and live in the French Alps (1000m altitude) with harsh winters, and so far this little car has been marvelous. I wouldn't go back to an ICE car for my regular commute.

I have my own one: * .tel (my name is * tel). My email is * @* .tel; lots of people get it. Life is good.

French here, never seen that. I have been asked for my previous salary but not for pay slips.

Their current CPU-features-as-a-service marketing push doesn't look like a right move to me.

I have witnessed this mindset. The employer was glad to let people go after they were frustrated with low wages and no raises for a while. The result: very high turnover, all technical knowledge in the company was lost after a while (fixing

Well, I still own an XPS 9360 which works wonderfully well under Linux. That's why at my current job I choose a top-of-the-line XPS 15 i9. Big mistake. That thing went through several support iterations (WiFi, motherboard ...) and it

White, straight male (too far) into in my 40s, but in France: for now I don't witness that. There is overall concern for women and minorities, but no hate towards my "category". Reading what happens elsewhere, I'm happy

It's funny how the excellent job of the French Ariane launcher is nowhere to be seen in this (and others) article.

The problem is that current Intel laptops don't use S3 anymore, they use S0ix a.k.a. "modern standby", an abomination where the CPU doesn't really sleep and the battery drains fast. Dell, Lenovo, HP etc. all have the sam

"Undefined Behavior", a.k.a. "don't do that". It's everything the language allows you to do but the spec (you didn't read) says you should not, otherwise anything can happen. For example you should not acc

Of course it'd be better, but I don't think a simple declarative language could easily cover the breadth of what is currently done in postinstall scripts.

To each one its own. After >40 years of programming, and being quite bored, Rust has been a breath of fresh air and made me interested again in coding. (Edit: yes I know I'm feeding a troll)

Your Dell dies if you leave it in your backpack over the weekend ? I contest that claim. My XPS i9 dies if I left it in my backpack overnight ! I can't wait to have Linux properly running on an M1 Pro, so I can justify buying one.
