Little did we know that we'd end up in an era where some people end up blindly telling an Evaluator to "Please write for me a Metacircular Evaluator, make it Secure, no mistakes"

After Stop Killing Games [0] has been doing some big steps forward lately, plus movement in the same vein has been showing up in California, we now need to start working on a more general Stop Killing Software act. [0]: https:/&#x2F

I just didn't want to get into that angle in my comment. Of course there is widespread abuse. But precisely, having this practice explicitly ruled out makes a huge difference and allows calling it " abuse " instead of &quot

It's surprising how Wild West it gets out there. In the EU that would strictly fall into unlawful working conditions; I kid you not, in Spain the law doesn't allow to work overtime for more than 80 total hours per year .

Talking about this specifically, yes it's difficult to think of a reason to change ranges in the future. But bringing my post to a more general stance, I'm of the opinion that Rust is fixated a bit too much on the goal of having a

Why replace the already existing std::range in-place with the new version, and move the old one to std::range::legacy? That's confusing and not forward thinking, what if a design improvement is found in some years and a new iteration i

They are burning money to pay for AI-assisted development. Ok. But what is the ROI of it all? Was it worth the supposed increase on efficiency? Why nobody talks about those points, which are actually the only interesting points of all this

> you have to maintain for all eternity, with identical API People always tout this as a huge reason for not wanting a too big std in Rust (or "too useful" either), but IMHO that's just talking about reaching theoretical

That's very shortsighted, this pragmatism might work for a while but when enough companies do the same then some other infra provider would become the new big one, pirate sites would move to it, and La Liga would also block it, bringin

You truly know that you're totally out of the loop with some topic when you read "Music discovery on the AT Protocol" and think how the heck did they manage to build such thing with just AT Commands against a GSM modem [^] ^

Pawel Jarczak could consider donating the code to an anonymous random friend who happened to upload it to a chinese code forge where development could continue.

I was like: "it should be Ctrl+Shift+H, of course, right?" So different tastes :-) What you describe later is "Auto-populate the find dialog with current text under cursor". VSCode has a setting for that; I guess Zed wil

I wholeheartedly agree. Licensing is a complex topic of which I've read a good deal, and even within the Open Source communities there are usually a lot of misconceptions, so I like chiming in with less commonly pointed but very practi

Platform providers can take (A)GPL code as-is and totally profit from it without paying. As long as they keep releasing sources of their own modifications -if they ever do any-, the rest is fair play.

Changing the license of already existing code? You might not be able to do that without permission from other contributors, I agree. But it's MIT license. We can open a company tomorrow, take that code, and start selling it. Further de

Open Source has worked fine here. The author doesn't find financial support for the work, so they just want to change winds and that's a perfectly fine path forward. If this is really much more than a personal project "for fu

Here is a simple trick: do accept plenty of open source contributions as-is, without any kind of copyright assignment nor requiring to sign anything that grants power to relicense. There you go, guaranteed community ownership of the code, b

In IPv4 you only need to transmit IPv4 addresses. If the "cannot be" in parent post is referring to the exact byte disposition in packets, then I go the other way around to claim that I agree. Because the only way that a UTF8 char

Why not? Sincere question. As a very superficial idea, if we go back to the drawing board, for example we could decide our new cool concept of address to be an IPv4 + an hex suffix, maybe at the expense of not having a humongous address spa
