Honeycomb https://honeycomb.io/ is laser focused on this stuff. They built their own datastore (similar to Druid but schemaless) so they could create the experience they were aiming for. They talk a lot about collaborative

The semantic difference would be important in a song like Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-lot, which includes both speech quotes and imperial measurements.

Spain has states with relatively similar state/federal power to the USA. The EU has nation states with more or less power depending where you look. Australia has states, Canada has provinces... One aspect of US taxation and funding tha

You'll generally find the rest of the (first) world did 1.0 too. But they invest in public infrastructure, so also did 2.0 and 3.0. The USA is a very strange mix of hyper-first-world and second/third-world, and a lot of it has to

Shift + Command + 5… click "Options" in the bar down the bottom of the screen. (Also, try hitting space a couple of times in that mode.)

I'd trust Matthias to know when GTK is ready, and it's a signal to the community that it's definitely time for testing and porting. But he can still make micro bumps. :-)

That's less about the version number, more about the time-based release train. If you're not ready to go, you can't get on. GTK/GNOME started doing time-based releases every six months 18 years ago. Hasn't missed a

GTK is a 22 year old project. Both GTK and GNOME have used .99-style release candidate micro numbers, and odd/even minor numbers to represent devel/stable (as Linux once did) for a VERY long time. ~18 years ago, GTK/GNOME dec

There's necessary and well-encapsulated `unsafe` code in the standard library. It's a tool.

NON-system libraries? Lots. e.g. reading through a directory of dynamically loadable plugins System libraries (depending how Apple defines that)? Unusual.

I retooled a step functions CloudFormation template to create and attach an EFS filesystem to four functions. Took about 25 lines of YAML.

Start with the name. That puts it in opposition immediately. They present a lot of that opposition to projects and people, rarely stated kindly. They could express a positive enthusiasm for simplicity, but that's not the way they go ab

Kindness really does improve the quality of software. Look at the answers to "Why Rust?" in today's Stack Overflow post. The Rust community is opinionated, inclusive, ambitious, and kind, and produces excellent software.

As much as possible, I try to use software created by kind communities. The behaviours and attitudes in the "suckless" world come across as combative, exclusive, and unpleasant.

"programmers have spoken, and they"...'ve done quite a lot of work to get the benefits of generics without language support. You can pretty much look at any large Go project (famously Kubernetes) and see a workaround of some

The Australian government's 1987 "Grim Reaper" ad gives some impression of the mood at the time. Of course, it didn't do any favours to the gay community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lhFc_9U_UY

And yet, a lot of experienced programmers have noted that even when they write their first time naïve Rust, it turns out to be really fast.

It lets you use libraries written in numerous supported languages with a richer, more object oriented interface than a C ABI. You can use the same underlying interface to call out of process or distributed objects.

eBPF is turning Linux into a microkernel like drinking Gatorade is turning me into a Super Bowl quarterback. (I tried to localise this for a predominantly US audience.)
