If you're talking about OpenShift, it has less features for virtualization perhaps, but is easier for migrating apps over to k8s. Which is something many orgs want to do.

Entire kernels have been written in Rust with less than 10% unsafe code. The entire line of argument that "the majority of code" needs to be unsafe in such contexts is BS. Especially when the "Rust culture" suggests buil

All of that HAS been done in Rust. It's not that bad. It's actually quite good in many ways. #[no_std] is fairly unique to Rust.

It's worth mentioning that IIRC the team responsible for the Arc GPU drivers was located in Russia, and after the invasion of Ukraine they had to deal with relocating the entire team to the EU and lost several engineers in the process.

So? I feel like that backs up my point. Sure it may slow down development but it encodes useful information for reading and understanding the code later on, and preventing the most pernicious sorts of bugs (data races, UB, memory unsafety)

It turns out that Linus has repeatedly shared his personal opinion on these matters, so you can judge for yourself whether he sounds "forced by corporate masters", or whether that's conspiratorial FUD that exists only in your

Many developers dislike doing all sorts of useful things, like writing documentation in general, or tests. Rust is an upfront investment of time which pays back in later stages when you're not spending 10 hours hunting down issues with

Linux is not, by and large, maintained by "unpaid volunteers". And big corps are, in fact, funding the Rust for Linux effort. Nothing is being "shoehorned". The project has the explicit backing of Linus and Greg KH. It&

No, it's not. Fast advances often mean that the defender pulled back their forces, not that the defender got destroyed.

You can't really imply kill ratios by the speed of the advance, it doesn't work like that.

Russia is an underdeveloped country. 1/4 of the population doesn't have indoor plumbing. If you don't live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, your standard of living is just not very comparable to the rest of the developed world. I

Rebel groups launched an offensive against the Russian-backed Syrian government over the past 48 hours and have retaken a large chunk of territory near Aleppo. Russian military intervention is arguably the only reason the Syrian regime surv

Ukraine doesn't claim a 6:1 ratio overall. Only in certain parts of the front line during certain periods of fighting is it so lopsided, such as the recent Russian attempts to retake Kursk or the early assaults on Bakhmut and Vulhedar

Unless the Russian economy collapses first. The ruble has lost 10% of it's value in just the past week. Inflation on many items is near 70% despite interest rates currently being set at 21%. It's spiralling a bit recently due to

Prototype, sure. Develop? Debatable. At a certain scale of project, all the static guarantees become quite helpful. And a "prototype" written in Rust is often much closer to production-ready than you might think. Rust makes it

It's not convincing. It's a man wrapped up in defending a worldview he's held for 5 decades against real world experiences that directly contradict it. Putin's actions do not line up with this portrait of him as a hyper-

Please explain why Russia has the right to dictate foreign policy postures to their independent former colonies, or disregard treaties signed with them.

Russia and Russia alone is responsible for "kick-starting" this war. And providing Ukraine with aid so that they don't get steamrolled is not morally wrong. Nor is refusing to do so so that Russia can more quickly get around
