It depends whether you've been burned by memory safety/data race CVEs in the past. For better or for worse, some people actively search out software written in Rust specifically because the choice to use C/C++ is not opaque t

This won’t work for many people who don’t know the language or its ecosystem, but I’ve started doing my ad-hoc scripting in Rust using rust-script [0]. I’ve got a template with lots of boilerplate for everything I might need and I just copy

The magic of quicklook isn’t really about the behavior in Finder, though. The magic of it is that it’s available as an API to developers. I use an app that is ostensibly marketed as an image viewer but, because it uses quicklook to render f

Even as large as WebMD is, it would surprise me if they weren't using a third-party drug database to drive their public database. When I worked at a similar site, we used First DataBank [0], but there may be others too. The world of ph

There is an actual rudix package that has install/uninstall, including for itself. Otherwise you’re using the somewhat cumbersome process of backing out a package based on the receipt. It’s doable, but mostly requires some googling to

I find it unfortunate that those two occupy the 1-2 in Mac packaging options. It never really got much attention, but I've always liked Rudix [0] better. The package selection is much worse and not really kept as up-to-date, but the in

IIRC, neither Israel nor Turkey were going to be suppliers, but they were needed as part of proposed routes for the pipeline. The natural gas rich areas are in southern Iran and Qatar. Syria stopped the plan, and they said no to protect Rus

They tried to invest in diversified sources. There was a plan to build a pipeline from the gulf states to Europe. Russia turned that idea into a war in Syria and a humanitarian refugee crisis. It’s not as simple as buying it from someone el

The other option for a developer-targeted, cross-platform app is TUI/curses. I did a recent search to see if something like that exists and the closest I could find were command line todo apps. I’ve wanted something Kanban-ish that cou

In my experience after starting breathing exercises (not Wim Hof...more freediving oriented), it has the opposite effect to what you're positing. Rather than just raising body temperature to become impervious to cold, it's actuall
