Often dates are extremely relevant, for example a 10 year old hardware review won't be as relevant as a new one. On the other hand, blogs don:t have to be static, some programing technique might still be relevant, but need to be update

Exactly, and they made the choice to no longer do it. Feel free to fork it and maintain their effort.

This opens the door for bad incentivization, I'd be afraid people optimize for what pays better, be it more small commits, fewer larger commits etc...

Which was my point when I said I feel the world is wasting a huge amount of memory. It feels like a step backwards.

Can you explain why it's ironic?

In the era of static linking (golang, rust), sure, why not. These days getting dependencies and the right version of the runtime is considered a harder problem. I personally feel like the world is wasting a huge amount of memory because of

This always felt weird to me given that Python does a good job with dict: d = {} assert(d.get("blah"), None) I was impressed by Rust the first time I run into: let mut last; for i in &[1, 2, 3] {

So you are saying we cannot rely on personal choices but need to use regulation? I agree.

While taking action and changing our ways and the use of some products to prevent further damage to the ozone layer, and even reverse damages. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

In the early days of nginx non-russian doc was a link to Google translate, and that was good enough, it worked fine for everybody. How do you think non-english speakers read documentation in english?

The one thing I miss from CyanogenMod: keyboard key orders scrambled for each use. I wish LineageOS and stock Android added that feature.

Can you make backups of your data that don't rely on notion to exist to be usable?

by dorfsmay 7y ago
True for workstations, but most services are running on VMs these days. OS shouldn't need blobs to run on VMs.

The point some of us are trying to make here is that K&R works for some learning styles but not others. It's definitely not universal.

by dorfsmay 7y ago
That's an interesting comparison. K&R did nothing for me, I honestly did not understand C until I read Harbison & Steele.

Do you use a multiplatform shared storage service (dropbox, pcloud, etc...)? Do you spend a lot of time in a specific editor? If so, consolidate those text files into one folder, and use your editor. The only issue will then be editing them

I open everything for which I don't need to be logged in, in an incognito window, and this page worked fine.

For smaller group, people updating attendance is really useful. I've cancelled meetings when not enough people could attend, or change venue if more than I initially anticipated acknowledged. This is not easy to do on a simple github.i

Two other things I discovered while working on this, which I find are not advertised enough (I added a mention about them to the RustBridge material): • You can bring up a specific book with `rustup doc --book`, `rustup doc --embedded-book`

I came up and added that functionality. I spent many years as a UNIX sysadmin, everything was a `man` page away, including C libraries. I've done a lot of python over the past 7 years and used `pydoc` constantly. The inspiration for th

But again, what would be the drawback(s) of using a pointer instead of transfering the ownership? Not rethorical, I'm genuinely curious as I used to struggle with the copy vs move decisions, and a bunch of issues with ownership which w

What would be cases where the add() function need ownership of the x? What the chance in real life that a function like that cannot simply use a reference? In my learning Rust, my life became significantly better and easier when I started t

Are there trackpoint with FOSS firmware out there that could be used?

When I looked at it (a fees months ago), 16 GB soldered memory was the only option. Also, no ethernet port.

I needed to upgrade my x220. The newer X series is almost as big as the T series, and is really limited in terms of memory. I ended up getting a T480 which is nice at home, but too big on the road. I looked really hard at System76, but I ne

Are you familiar with the ThinkPad x210? Have you thought of addressing the market of people wanting a small (12 to 13 inch), robuste, laptops with trackpoint and no arbitrary memory limitation? Lenovo has abandoned that market, and there&#

So make a binary a available for download?

by dorfsmay 7y ago
I suspect they'll sell a binary if all you want to do is develop apps in swift, and that they have a bootstrapping system to compile the compiler, like every other native compiler. I believe that Chris Lattner the original author of LL
