Why is Steam a racket? They provide a service and charge 30% for it, nowhere comparable to the 92% cut here.

The problem is that you think it’s private but it isn’t. If an attacker wants access they’ll get access. At that point the false sense of security is a hindrance, because systems might not have been secured like they would have been on the

Honestly same. I think it has the potential to be a great language and I'll definitely have a look at 1.0. Right now it's more for the people who are fine living on the bleeding edge. Nothing wrong with that, imo. It's hard t

Are any le Carré characters so flagrantly incompetent? Even the ones who like to drink (like Connie Sachs) manage to keep it under control and function reasonably well.

This is probably a really dumb question, but what "support" do corporations running Java need? What are they getting for these massive fees they're paying? Follow up question, what sources are the open runtimes based on? Is i

We actually have two mechanisms: laws/regulations and customers voting with their wallet. Since we see that a majority of customers consistently go with the cheaper option, we know how they feel. So the "better" firm gets out

Yes in theory a person could write poor Rust code. But in practice the quality of popular Rust libraries is pretty high. Linus says you never crash in the kernel, which is why Rust code merged into Linux won’t crash.

Anything is possible in theory. In practice Rust codebases have high standards because it is easy to set up. For instance, most production users use clippy, which has a lint that will tell you if you're using unwrap() outside of test c

And we're going to say "let's do this a day from now", leaving the software to decide whether that's 24, 23 or 25 hours from now. It could be any of those things, depending on where it was said and the DST changes f

Haha, yes I did. If only the HN textbox integrated with rust-analyzer, it would have caught the mistake.

I don’t know why they said that. But I guess it’s the difference between a low certainty and a high certainty bet. In 2024 it’s a safe assumption that a lot of the digital infra we use in 10 years will be based on Rust, so it may make sense

There's no reason? Are you sure about this? I think you mean there could theoretically be an interpreted Rust, but I don't think anyone has ever made a prototype of a Rust interpreter. The closest is probably rust-analyzer (the of
