Yes, and we should be encouraging more of that. But as programmers (well to my mind anyway) it nags us when we look at inefficient solutions, even those which are reasonably robost/adequate. We tend to scoff at people using Visual Basi

Right, but when you hire an architect to design a random office building, you're not expecting a piece of art. My point is the vast majority of programming projects are random office building # 23.

Oh it's certainly in Apple's interest. I don't really care about their interest though. They have a large enough megaphone to take care of their own issues. I prefer to support the other side in such matters. >Otherwise de

Why not leave that choice up to the developer? If the new phone is so awesome then other developers will make awesome apps for it and if you don't support it your app will not succeed. Apple is threatening the revenue of companies and

I'd say the size is not as relevant as the potential to grow and sell things. (Ignoring the "cheap" labor aspect for a bit..)

Right, I just wanted to examine it in the 'proof is in the pudding' sense where if Rust is as good as people claim, then certain types of bugs would be entirely eliminated. I'm usually weary of such claims :)

Are those laws not applicable to their own domestic companies? Or are you saying the laws themselves are hostile to any business?

The issue is about closing a loophole. If it was framed that way people would still be upset, but not as upset in the same way as being treated like idiots.

I suppose so. As an embedded developer it appeals to me, but I haven't looked too much into it TBH. Do you know of any analysis done on the bugs in servo or any other large-ish project?

People who are unable to create a product and get someone to pay for it, take an existing product, reduce its utility and charge for the rest. Its like the airline baggage policy. This is stereotypical-MBA thinking.

The fact that people want to force HTTPS really bugs me. HTTPS centralizes the publication rights to browser vendors and cert vendors. Why should you require permission before publishing content on the web? IMHO, They should rename the S in

This centralizes publishing rights to browser vendors & security cert vendors. I don't want to take permission from any third-party before publishing content on the web. In any case, its rather rude of you to presume to know what p
