> Rust compiler depends on LLVM written in C++, kernels for all mainstream OSes are written in C. But this general criticism is just as valid for C# which you say is safer, isn't it? 18.6% of the C# runtime is written in C or C++[1]

Dynamic linking is something that I would personally like to see in Rustland too. But parent's point is that some issues that count as a CVE for Rust do not count as such for C/C++ because the boundaries of undefined behavior are

tmux is not entirely dissimilar to GNU Screen which uses `C-a` rather than `C-b` as its prefix key. That conceptual lineage may explain some of the UI choices.

Apple Maps can display directions on the lock screen. It seems to also work with turn-by-turn navigation. Does this count toward the global screen time?

What I like about magit is that it shows me the diff of the would-be commit when I write the commit message. And also that I can pick which sections of the diff to a file I want to include in the commit. I used Vim + git CLI before and this

I would be curious to learn more about Google News abuses too. It doesn’t sound completely far fetched. Google search is known to have served up malicious websites masquerading as legitimate ones. For example, here’s one that was disguised
