> What are the chances of that, though? The whole premise of the article is that they’re substantially lower, because some time for the ecosystem of dependency scanners and users to detect and report is better than none.

The check frequency isn't the problem, it's the latency between release and update. If a package was released 5 minutes before dependabot runs and you still update to it, your lower frequency hasn't really done anything.

It feels like perhaps you’ve conflated the issue in this thread, which is about using Rust in apt, which is much, much later in the distribution bringup than this bootstrapping, and using Rust in something like the Linux kernel, which is mo

No, it’s a valid question, and one that I’m sure will get some answers in the coming days and weeks as the discussion on adding this requirement continues, but in some sense, it’s beside the point. The cost of supporting this old hardware f

uv finds a dependency resolution that works for all platforms by default, and can do things like fork the resolution and choose different versions based on platform or python version requirements.

cargo-dist will get you the npm one for free. They've got pypi support planned as well but don't have it yet, though they can also generate standard curl | sh installers and all too.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. You can pass a list of files to sd, `sd before after **/*.py` to replace in all the python files in your project. That's about as native of a replace across multiple files yo

Your comment is copy pasted from the same comment you’ve posted at least 2 other times in the last 24 hours. Thats very much cookie cutter. It’s also not all that relevant to the parent comment, it’s just trying to turn things into a flame

That's a harder argument to make given the "or later" clause was the default in the GPLv2, and also optional.

id is not an implementation detail, it's a core built-in function of the language. The value that it returns is an implementation detail, but the properties of the value it returns are not and perfectly valid to rely on.

Many functional and ML-based languages, such as Haskell, OCaml, F#, etc. allow the signature of a function to be inferred, and so a change in the implementation of a function can change the signature.
