I cannot like Rust syntax, sorry. For me the ideal syntax is C/Go, just to be clear what I like. But I agree that the tooling that cargo introduced is a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by huge makefiles, libraries copied in th

This is the bomb that sank C++ in 2026. Have fun justifying that Rust is "also" unsafe, with the right tools you can achieve the same in C++, if you're a great dev you can do even better, etc.

Some days ago I took again a look at Rust. I don't like the syntax at all, and coming from a Scala background that should say a lot. I will never like it, unless they simplify it. However, they implemented at compile time all the rules

This you can apply to almost everything we have been doing in the last 50 years I guess. We're constantly being told to buy new because 1) more energy efficient, 2) better in terms of safety, 3) more environmental friendly, 4) it was b

Where is it any different? Some are more obvious than others. At least with Fox you know where they stand and you know you need to verify your source all the time. It's way better like that. Other media companies are very subtle, so mu

Some days ago I decided to look at Zig a bit more in detail. So I skipped the usual marketing and I checked why it could be an alternative to C or Rust. Could it be? It seems that (debug) allocators are a nice idea, however, it seems that t

Imagine going in the streets as a normal human being and advertising these companies (the scammers, I mean). You would never see the light again, after fighting countless battles with lawyers (rightly so!), ending up in prison. But these gu

Examples? I think I have always seen it used in a relatively "simple" way. But that might be... "relative". :)

It'd be nice to use it for server side too, but the ecosystem is really not mature and the build system is not on the same level of Gradle or similar. Plus, most of the open source libs are one person's weekend projects, from 3 ye

Well, of course. Are you kidding, the amount of $$$ you would be shifting from countless lawsuits to "deal with openai" or things like that. I don't believe they will go this far, but somewhere in the middle. And I think they

I guess right now the way to convince is with SLA, bonus, benefits, "always on support", "a dedicated technical manager to help you design a scalable agentic framework" or whatever BS they can sell. Or: "your tokens

It's all because of something that started years ago: the move to the cloud. Companies started to move to cloud like there was no tomorrow. Their on-prem products became maintenance or zombies. Now you want the self hosted? Good luck.

...or they want to be the first to do it, as others don't have it. OpenAI is the leading company, if they provide an instance you can use for legal advice, with relative certification etc., it'd be better to trust them rather than

I was wondering when they would start with the regulations. Next will be: you're allowed to use it, if your company/product is "HippocraticGPT"-certified, a bit like SOC or PCI compliance. This way they can craft an inst

It's literally written in the article: > The number of Teslas sold in the January-October period dropped 50.4% to 15,595 units, compared with the same period last year. YoY is -50%.

This is not just German related, apparently. It seems Tesla sales in EU are falling since 2023 [0]. And it seems that until now, Tesla sales in Eu are 30% less than last year [1] There is more competition, finally. [0]: https://w

I think starting from the day after CLOUD act was approved (2018). Crazy to even think that such a law exists.

Apparently someone buys it, otherwise AWS would not invest 8+ billions in Germany: https://www.aboutamazon.eu/news/aws/aws-plans-to-invest-7-8-... "If it's certified, it must be good".

I prefer a guy that performs a show like Musk to a Zuckeberg that is leading our youth to a very bad path - probably worse is only Tiktok. And all for some coins. At least the guy says what he thinks, which you might agree or disagree with.

Ok then how about we stay all in topic and focus on the "links will now be open in background when tweets are shown"? Instead of focusing on the rich billionaire who wants to conquer the world.... BTW: it's normal to diverge

Not sure why it's so bad what the person wrote. There are studies showing how objectively bad Facebook and Instagram are for people, leading them to depression and so on. Isn't this hitting the fabric of our society? Our youth has

What about links to malware or other illegal content that will be downloaded without me clicking on it...? Is it only in the app, or also with the browser? Crazy.

You have a whole class of dumb and dangerous bugs completely wiped off, which not even a new/junior untrusted developer can introduce. That's not nothing. Of course, not checking if a user has permissions to perform an operation

How would you do multi-region deployments with your own DC? This is an issue for several companies that start small and within 5 years they find the need to expand abroad. Be it for data sovereignty or so, which is becoming more important t

I think it's a great modern tool, don't get me wrong. But the main reason shouldn't be the "lockfile". I was replying to the parent comment mainly for that particular thing.

This is a good use case. Not sure how this is typically solved, I guess "requirements-os-version.txt"? A bit redundant and repetitive. I would probably use something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions&#

Not sure how uv helps here, because I am not very familiar with it. With pip you update a dependency, it won't work if it's not compatible, it'll work if they are. Not sure where the issue is?
