I'm still not over the fact that they made headers all-lowercase in HTTP/2. I know the reasons, but it's so weird to have all-lowercase headers. TBH I don't see much of an uptake in the community either: since HTTP/

On some distros you can install rustup directly, e.g. NixOS or Arch. For Ubuntu, it's sadly not in the default repositories, but there is a snap for rustup uploaded by the rustup maintainer. https://pkgs.org/search&#x2F

Rust is most comparable to C++ with heavy TMP, as it itself also makes use of templates.

Rust macros are not the fault for its slowness. expansion is one of the fastest compilation phases. Time is rather spent in other steps like type checking, llvm optimizations and such. The issue is more Rust's generics as they cause

Yeah compare broken water pipes with broken facebook/whatsapp etc. If the former is broken, people don't have water until the issue is fixed. With latter, at least they can use one of the alternatives (and they do, usage counts of

Yeah. His style is well suited for some problems, bad for others. It's good to have touch UI that changes all the time if you are building demo cars. It's not good if you want to build cars that you want users to use.

Kudos to you. I don't really use my Gitlab right now, but mostly because there is no project that I want to contribute to that uses Gitlab.

IIRC you are allowed to get the Signal client from the git master branch and install it yourself, but not sure if that extends to local modifications of the client. They don't want you to distribute binaries however that are connecting

FTR the current plan for git's migration is that commits have both SHA-1 and SHA-2 addresses, and you can reference them by both. There is thus no concept of "SHA-2 commit", or "SHA-1 commit". The issue is more arou

That's the general anti-agility argument wielded against git, but note that git's use cases require it to process historic data. E.g. you will want to be able to read some sha-1-only repo from disk that was last touched a decade a

One could spin it like: thanks to git reducing the requirement for servers for more of the development experience, it has reduced the reason for companies to self-host repository servers.
