This is such utter BS. And also, btw, also doesn't exist in a vacuum. The left isn't immune to feeling bitter disgust at titans of industry that openly pay bribes and tributes and lie on camera in service of political objectives

There are some pretty big cracks underneath the surface. But yes they certainly have been successful at drawing in the manufacturing at the very least, even if it's ultimately not very sustainable.

Debug build performance of iterators isn't great unfortunately. And crunching all the generated code down into something performant is a contributor to Rust's below-average compile times.

Depends, do they also sponsor developers? For a couple of years Red Hat employed the only developer contributing full-time to Python - the rest (including Guido) only worked on it part-time. Microsoft got more involved later on so I don&#x2

It's somewhat relevant given that this is one of the first Rust-based GPU drivers for Linux.

NPR can also be a bit of a meme sometimes. Maybe it's just circumstance but every time I hear NPR for any period of time longer than about 20 minutes they do a segment on a topic like polyamory, how women are proudly reclaiming the wor

So start replacing bits of Blink with Rust, instead of bits of Gecko. Maybe their primary addressable market is nerds, but I guarantee more people quit using Firefox because of websites not working correctly or Google's marketing than

Servo would not have been some dramatic revolution in browser technology. It would have done the same thing browser engines currently do, but maybe a little faster and with a couple less security issues per year. It's dishonest to comp

There's two gcc-based compilers for Rust, gcc-rs which is part of the gcc suite and written in C++, and rustc_codegen_gcc, which is an optional backend for the existing Rust compiler written in Rust which emits an intermediate represen

Linus is pragmatic. His only hard rule is "don't break userspace", most everything else is contingent. From what I can tell, he views Rust for Linux as a social project as much as a technical one - attract new (and younger) d

On the other hand - when Israel struck the parking lot of that hospital a couple of weeks ago everyone was so confident that the IDF was lying when they said that there was a command bunker just underneath the entrance of the hospital. Not

There would be less scepticism if there weren't numerous examples of falsified incidents in the past. Nonetheless, the point of "the boy who cried wolf" is not "wolves don't exist". Both sides have been caught

I mean the cars are literally bigger and heavier. Even compared to 2014 / 2017. They're incredibly fast but can't be thrown around like the smaller and lighter cars from previous eras.

by dralley 1y ago
The newer cars are definitely bigger and less nimble. 2026 regs help a little bit with that but not quite enough.

Faster doesn't necessarily mean better racing. And F1 has been heavily regulated forever. Turbos were banned in the 80s because they made the cars too powerful and difficult to handle. The reason F1 tires had big grooves cut into them

There's tons of Red Hat in federal IT, that's not the issue. It's just that Microsoft dominates the client-facing software business, and Red Hat has minimal presence there so while you might see RHEL desktops at e.g. NASA you
