I doubt that anybody truly knows Rust. And this is aggravated by the fact that features keep getting added. But here are two simple strategies that I found very effective in keeping us ahead of the curve. 1. Always keep the language referen

I was expecting this reply here. But it's still the same old excuse to do nothing. It's as if we deserve nothing better than what the companies impose upon us. That's such a defeatist stance.

I think a major clarification is in order here. I'm not talking about just the framework here. If anything, the problems with framework is the direct result of the absolutely stupid industry-wide product design culture and market taste

I'm puzzled by your top level comment getting downvoted. If people can't recognize the motives or they're that much into hero worship, I say that we're in for a long winter.

Even more unimaginative dismissals are not what I wish to debate. I have already explained why this argument is disingenuous at best. Apple's model isn't the best. It just appears so because these companies never put significant e

Makes sense. But why is that? Are they not educated enough to realize it? Or don't they bother to apply their common sense to such topics? Also, where do they get these weird alternative explanations from? PS: I'm not from the US.

I absolutely agree about the billionaires. Not just because they're out of touch with reality, those government agencies are big hurdles to their pursuit of unlimited wealth by any means necessary. This was splendidly evident in the wa

I live somewhere where Brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, spinach, etc were not available until recently. I grew up watching American kids' disgust towards them on TV. So I assumed that they tasted really bad. I had my first taste

As I understand it, this is to wreck the government oversight on the conduct of the rich and the powerful. They really want to establish a full blown oligarchy. And they managed to convince the poor people that the government is bad for the

Americans should try living in another country for a while. You don't need to worry about school shootings when you send your kids there in the morning. You don't need to worry about getting shot up in the neighborhood restaurant.

What are you being downvoted for? Is it about gun control? I genuinely would like a clarification.

Oh! You don't need any of those. I'm sure that they have enough tactical EMP devices to do the job. PS: ElectroMagnetic Pulse weapons for the TLA-haters here.

It's actually far less complex than what container runtimes do. I've even done parts of those, which is why I'm able to suggest it. I'm thinking about implementing it and was checking if anybody else wanted to do it or i

There should be some way to mount a local directory onto a remote system without requiring the remote system to log in to the local system. SSH provides a secure bidirectional communication channel between the two systems. While we normally

by goku12 10mo ago
Well, what if it's a separate directory meant exclusively for remote systems alone? And what if the remote mount is read-only, perhaps with a writable layer on top using overlayfs that can be discarded on logout?

How about mounting your dotfiles directory (~/.config) or even your entire home directory on the remote system using SSHFS or NFS? I'm sure somebody would have tried it or some project may already exist. Any idea why that isn&#x27
