Completely disagree. Async as a paradigm has probably created billions of dollars in that it's allowed many many many developers to reasonably scale beyond what they could've otherwise.

Cancer isn't one disease, any cell could potentially become cancerous and they can potentially become cancerous in different ways. A universal cancer vaccine will probably never happen, but hopefully we'll be able to have enough c

One of the main selling points of Kagi is privacy. It's featured on the main landing page, they have a page dedicated to it, and it's mentioned in pretty much every sales pitch they will make. Kagi's audience is also comprise

You are right... up until maybe the second reply. Vlad saw something critical of his hard work and wanted to put in the effort to clarify his stances and mend a relationship. I can absolutely understand that, your work is a reflection of yo

Because "going down" doesn't necessarily mean _shutting_ down-- it could be a sale as well. Considering the stated attitude towards privacy, that should worry you if privacy is your concern.

This is actually really good information, thanks for pointing it out!

Just to be clear, this was one of the arguments of the Helix maintainers. I (sort of) agree and do think it's the _overall_ better approach in terms of general learnability and ease-of-use (bar WASM+WASI components, though that has it&

While I understood the maintainer's arguments for wanting to adopt a Scheme-like for plugins, I can't help but be a bit disappointed. Helix being written in Rust meant that I felt very comfortable looking at the source code which

Rust is considering this under the name of "pattern types" [0][1]. If the full idea is realized, you should be able to handle strings and enums as well. There is also a PR for a minimal implementation using a macro and targeting i

The first response to the original post is quite possibly one of the most tone-deaf and unempathetic things I've ever read.

These stories always really get me-- to essentially raise an animal from newborn to adulthood, share years of beautiful memories and deep love for them, only to abruptly be reminded that at the end of the day, it's an animal. And, unfo

I think there is a lot of value in exploring this idea, even though it's a "big idea." Rust already has a history of taking PLT ideas system programmers don't care about and making it practical and appealing. This coul

I'm not a Zig programmer, but this framework seems pretty nice! Honestly, a lot nicer than I would've expected from a language that explicitly targets lower-level dev[1]. [1]: Rust also has a focus on low-level programming, but ha

This is why I spent so much effort trying to procure a Brother printer that for my needs a while back; most printing brands are selling you subscriptions, overpriced resources, and/or some form of lock-in. Every year it gets worse too,

Absolutely devastating-- Tachiyomi has been my go-to manga reading app for years. It's also one of the most polished open source projects out there and I frequently recommended it, even to those who don't even know what open sourc

This is one of those functions I end up implementing in pretty much every single non-trivial JS project I work on. Glad to see some movement here.

You might be referring to Marina del Rey which has had much development in the past decade.

In the post they say they pay Google "multiple millions" of dollars already. Depending on their needs, the TCO of Oxide racks may end up being less than what they pay GCP.

This would require a live or weakened virus vaccine, it wouldn't be possible with mRNA-based ones.

Considering that Ferrocene has been open sourced (or at least, will be) and Adacore announced the (seemingly) closed source GNAT Pro for Rust, it looks to me that maybe the two organizations couldn't agree on a path forward regarding s

I think this is it, I'm just going to start the de-googling process. I'm sick of having to change apps because this company can't agree on a direction.

Awesome to see that the git history is preserved! Thanks for doing this-- I've seen a few of these kinds of merges where the easier route of squash-and-forget was taken and it's always a bit disappointing. As for external contribu

With the merge of iox into the main InfluxDB repo, are you preserving git history / external contributions at all?
