TODO is vital for my development process. Sure, maybe there's better programmers who don't use or need TODO, but for me, it's a critical method for the following reasons. 1. It prevents my "flow" from being sidetrac

Cool project, congrats to the author for getting a system tool so far in Rust. Just a couple of years ago that seemed questionably difficult but here we are. I do have to ask though, does this serve any improvement over or fix any of the sh

npm as a package manager is good in theory. But in practice, it does tend to create a culture of "just use a package" for everything. For example foreach [0]. [0] https://www.npmjs.com/package/foreach

To be fair, most of the actual code doesn't warrant comments, and there's no point of writing comments for the sake of writing comments or repeating what the code is already telling you explicitly what it does.

This is C, not JavaScript. Does anyone really want an npm of the C world? Header files work. They've worked for many decades. Yes, they require software authors to _do more work_, but they also help to eliminate a lib/ directory w

Google collecting more personal data on it's users and passing it off as a helpful service? I never would have guessed. /s I wonder if their data sets contain entries for non-Google users too?

On the subject of tracking, does anybody know of any current -on-the-market- security cameras that also do passive air / radio sniffing on things like WiFi and Bluetooth? Imagine an appliance brick and mortar shop that gives users free

Hats off, very cool!!! I have always dreamed of building a classic ROM to C transpiler for native, portable, future-proof(ish) binary builds (just like this).

I disagree - to me, it _is_ a huge deal. It's an overstep of a boundary that definitely should not have been crossed. Yoast has always been borderline spammy with their upgrade nags, but at least historically they followed the WordPres

No. It shows that people are still struggling with changing the way in which they write software to the "rust" way. The attitude of falling back to C or using unsafe rust just undermines the premise of the argument of why you shou
