That is exactly the set of properties you get with Rust and Cargo: that the source hasn't been tampered with, and that you know you're building the right codebase. It would be deeply irresponsible to build a package management sys

Speed. It's normally trivial to parallelize your programs. edit: rough crowd today. Check out Send, Sync, rayon and ripgrep.

FYI, most people don't let capitalism define what something "is" (in italics, even).

So then why are you in this thread at all? Apple goes its own way, people who like interesting, mechanically deep games with cool tech go their own.

Look at you, person doing more environmental damage than 80% of the people on the planet, looking down on others at the 85th percentile. I fly maybe once a year, avoid red meat, and live in a dense neighborhood. I'm doing more environm

This is simply the include_bytes! macro in Rust. There's also the include_str! macro which does a compile-time check for UTF-8 validity.

The issue is not technical. It is political. Apple is arbitrary and capricious, and no one sensible wants every update to their software to be held hostage to Apple's whims. Large companies like Facebook can cut special deals.

Thank you for being the voice of reason here. The fundamental issues are with Apple and macOS, not vendors trying to make sure everyone who downloads the app can install it.

Can you point to data which shows that Mac users expect confirmation prompts? Because my thoughts are that no, Mac users don't have any expectations from installers other than to get out of the way as quickly as possible (which the scr

That is a false dichotomy and you know it.

Yeah, other OEMs want to grow up to have butterfly keyboards, don't they?

People legally authorized to kill other people should be willing to subject themselves to a higher degree of scrutiny.

It absolutely is, but this is an emergency and there is a direct causal link.

Correct, this feature should be built on top of the source control system, not as part of it.

by damnyou 7y ago
The distinction you describe is not meaningful, but the key feature that separates classes from other forms of code organization/polymorphism, like typeclasses as in Haskell/Rust, is not that. It is inheritance.
317.
by damnyou 7y ago
Sum types and typeclasses in Haskell (or enums and traits in Rust) are a much better fit than classes and the mess that is operator overloading.

uBlock Origin works well. But you have a good point — you should be able to impose content filtering on yourself. And Firefox supports that.

You can use your own resolver.

by damnyou 7y ago
This is quite a radical position, but there are no legitimate use cases for content filtering. What use cases do people have in mind? * State censorship. Totalitarian. * "Parental controls". Child abuse. Learn how to build trust i

It turns out that that "window dressing" is by far the most practically useful part of functional languages.

Yeah well, it's hard to be happy with what's already there when that's fucking Java.

The costs of any long-lived service are dominated by ongoing maintenance, not the initial work.

I'd be happy to report maps issues for Apple, Google or any other corporation with a market cap of over $100 billion, at my consulting rate of $800/hour. Of course, I contribute to OpenStreetMaps pro bono.

You can expect it to be in the same ballpark as C or C++ for single-threaded code, especially if you use idiomatic Rust (combinators instead of manual iteration). Where Rust shines is that it often takes jaut a few minutes to turn a single-

Most people don't get it through medical studies, of course — they get it through the dark web, knowing the right people, or less commonly by growing their own. Psilocybin is genuinely fantastic, one of the greatest gifts of nature to

As other commenters have responded, being able to navigate the DAG of citations would be a nice value add.

Just to add to what you said, in 2020 you still can't set a systemwide browser on iOS, something you've been able to do on every other platform since the mid 1990s.
