I do remember the post. He's not wrong. A user compiling from source or using a distribution's package manager is unambiguously less harmful than having them rely on opaque binaries.

No, it isn't, and that "throwaway" account has hundreds of karma. Also, wasn't your comment here longer a second ago? I seem to recall it having a bit on "or some other form of memory safety," which proves the

He doesn't "troll" the Rust community at all in the post. The line about the borrow checker was directly snagged from a lobsters or HN thread around Hare's announcement.

I generally agree with you, but I think your reasoning is partially nonsense. I haven't benefit very much from government infrastructure . Woo, we have roads now. Where multiple of my family members have died, and most of my family me

You're speaking for "professional artists" like it's a monolithic class. There are many of them that claim "Art is subjective!" is pseudointellectual.

Typography is a literal profession. Like, one that's older than computing. It's a serious art form. What you're saying is akin to saying feeling disgust at awful programs is bad.

Not really difficult. In fact, I'd say pretty easy. Got five unicorns first try with the recommended founder. There are a lot of things it makes out to be "really difficult decisions!!!" but... no? Don't fall for obvious

Teenagers back then had more to look forward to. You work for some local company for three decades, then you retire, picking up a house somewhere in the process and are able to put your kids in college. Family members die, but who cares? Su

He doesn't really suggest it; he's only asking. He is relatively famous, as far as programmers go. How many of us can say we knew of The Cathedral and the Bazaar before we were actually programming? As he says, Carmack does, pro

Every time I have made a twitter account, I have seen a box along the lines of "Viewing your Home feed. For the latest tweets, switch to Latest." I think in this case it might be that you clicked through a pretty hard to miss box.
