The comment section here is an incredibly disturbing read, as to how many people are trying to justify this on-site extra-judicial execution. Let me start by saying that all this debate itself is meaningless to start with. No police or law

I don't think murder charges will deter anything at this point. I don't know anything about US laws, but these activities deserve to be charged with and treated as acts of terrorism. At least the foreign nations need to start desi

(Memory) safe languages are allowed to guarantee memory safety at any stage, including at runtime using GC and bound checks. That makes every GC language memory safe to a reasonable extend. The novelty in Rust is that it does the same at co

Many of those are still under active development (both language and tooling) and code is still being written in them. They have hardly disappeared.

The only reasonable way to solve that problem is to design a standard ABI that supports expression of all features in modern compiled languages like Rust, Go, Zig, Haskell, Ada, etc. It doesn't make any sense to design stable ABIs for

What do you mean by useful dynamic linking? Dynamic linking with C ABI is supported natively in Rust and is very widely used (just checked GitHub), especially for FFI like in Python modules (PyO3). If you mean an ABI that supports all the

My hunch is that those aren't very serious Rustaceans. Even the original language developers developed Rust to interoperate with C as much as possible, and they often used to discourage the rewrite evangelism. If you are a serious Rust

The Zen browser - a derivative of Firefox, also supports split tabs (and a lot of others like spaces, vertical tabs and glances). The project seems fairly active and up to date in the past few years.

The question is, how will you obtain that IP address from them? DNS was the answer to that question. So when you ask that question again, you're effectively asking for a DNS alternative.

That's a lot of work to bypass the blocks on a browser that's far from the market leader. Now, even if the browser does become popular enough in the future to be targeted, the developers would probably gain enough resources and su

The dynamic libraries that use the unstable Rust ABI are called `dylib`s, while those that use the stable C ABI are called `cdylib`s. Suppose a stable version of the Rust ABI is defined, what would be the point of putting dynamic libraries
202.
by goku12 9mo ago
That is not correct. Dynamic linking is natively supported in Rust. How else do you make modules for scripting languages like Python (using PyO3) [1]? It uses the stable C API (cdylib). [1] https://pyo3.rs/v0.15.1/#usin

by goku12 9mo ago
Rust does support C ABI through cdylib (as opposed to the unstable dylib ABI). This is used widely, especially for FFI. An example of this is Python modules in Rust using PyO3 [1]. [1] https://pyo3.rs/v0.15.1/#using-rus

Well! Not really a surprise, is it? We knew that DNS censorship was coming sooner or later. The real surprise is that it lasted so long. X509 (TLS) PKI is also probably being abused right now. We know how differently the administration sees

As long as there is centralization, there is always an avenue for abuse with money. The DNS root itself is heavily influenced by a group of allied nations, through the ICANN if I'm right. That can be used to exert pressure on TLD regis
