This is my impression - if you explicitly don't want to use toolbox or devcontainers I don't think you're on Bluefin's happy path at all, and the maintainers don't seem concerned enough by that to improve other expe

With the limited sample set of previous writing about this tooling - my impression is that it seems impossible to offer a succinct but still compelling description of this particular dialect of Rust. There are thousands of words of prose

Anyone considering it will need to decide for themselves how to feel about it, but I think it's important to prospective users to highlight that the current licensing model for Slint requires either GPL3-compatible licensing of your wo

My point was that José and Chris being continuously employed working on the language and Phoenix respectively (by the companies I named) are probably considered a form of commercial backing by most people. If you want to split hairs about s

lib.rs has a nifty (and occasionally shocking) portrayal of this on their crate pages. https://lib.rs/crates/lstr says for this one the deps clock in at: ~19–29MB ~487K SLoC

That's not intrinsically or pervasively true, although it's not uncommon.

What do you consider the financial and developer contributions of Dashbit née Plataformatec, Dockyard, and Fly.io?

Dialyzer is easy to intentionally or accidentally mislead, so it's only as good as the quality of human-authored typespecs (which are sometimes absent from major mainstream Hex packages) and the inference is simultaneously more open-en

Making this point in typed vs untyped debates about Elixir/Erlang specifically has never once lead to either an educational moment or a change of opinion on either side. You know exactly what they meant by that, and you're using a

It's a pale shadow of an actual Option/Result type, though, and the way most community and professional Elixir code uses ok-tuples is hardly what I would call rigorous. The with special form leads to sloppy pass-the-buck design

My anecdotal experience is that I indirectly need/benefit from rerere much less often because I'm not usually resolving the same specific conflict more than once. I fix it the one time and then jj is rebasing a whole lineage for m

I was a Magit user for most of a decade and I deeply missed it when I first switched to jj. I still think something like it would be a huge boon for the community and I hope one comes to fruition eventually, but in an editor-agnostic form l

The laborious extents to which the Guix project would go simply to alienate people who own certain classes of computer hardware. I have a list of Nix criticisms as long as my arm, but at least its documentation and user community never chas

It's historically been heavily gamed as well, so it's not much better than a thumb in the wind. Good and bad results might both be due to very non-idiomatic non-representative code there. Both the false positive/negative ou

I think "nearly the whole ecosystem is primarily driven by consultants for consultants" is a flimsy house of cards, rather than a virtue like the author of the article.

So why not elaborate as "Franz Kafka" when you mean the author? It can only clarify and it just takes 6 more characters. People who know both won't be bothered, and people who know neither will have a better time looking up t

There are many available paths to learning that don't leave you beholden to what was in training data from ~2021. This attitude will definitely hurt one's opportunities for personal growth and enrichment.

If anything, I think the jujutsu project as it exists today is probably most attractive to people who already know Git quite well. It's hard to articulate why a given VCS design or workflow is pleasant without having some firsthand exp

I don't find the single-vendor governance / commercial origins of those two languages very reassuring, but that's not something that will trouble everyone equally if at all.

None of those are to my personal taste and I think Kotlin is the only one with unambiguously strong adoption in industry. I'm trying not to make value-judgment statements about others that do like them.

For me personally, doing the clone-everything style of Rust for a first pass means I still have a graceful incremental path to go pursue the harder optimizations that are possible with more thoughtful memory management. The distinction is t

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, personally.

Well, I guess a lot of the threat is to do with the children and tax burden of one specific man...

by mtndew4brkfst 1y ago
The actual existential threat to my own country has little to do with how many children people have or what their personal tax burden is.
85.
by mtndew4brkfst 1y ago
On the face of it that sounds like childless taxpayers of all varieties subsidizing people who have many children. That's a "solid idea"?

It has its own conference now! Definitely not a signal for something that is reliable set-it-and-forget-it tech.

Best possible outcome. Unlikely to be, but maybe even the intended outcome from legal's POV.

Some of the more drawn-out arguments are in or about the RFCs repo, though, so it's not just chat platforms or forum where the fights break out. To your point the RFC repo is also something that not every would-be contributor would tou

Real as you or me, though I disagree with almost everything else the quoted poster expressed other than that forks are happening and the dividing lines include cultural norms rather than strictly technical disagreements. https://
