I write a decent amount of Rust and I find it productive, but I can see how it might be easy to get nerd-sniped trying to get rid of every last allocation. There's no shame in a Box/Arc. Remember that almost every language puts al

Artists now? You're moving the goalposts to outer space. What about the websites for those AAA titles that certainly run linux, which has 90%+ of the server market share? It's clear now you're just here fanboying for your fav

OpenGL is supported by all middlewares and is native to Linux the way Metal is native to Mac. And Mac isn't getting ports of AAA games either. If supporting Metal means Mac matters, then supporting OpenGL means Linux matters. If Linux

This is great news (no pun intended), but I have to cynically wonder if it's too late. It feels like TV in general has already fully lost younger generations. Other than watching live sports, nobody I know watches cable/broadcast

Going diskless is not a complete defense (nothing is), but it still helps against certain attack vectors. Borrowing from Mullvad's blog post on the topic[1]: - If the computer is powered off, moved or confiscated, there is no data to r

They've already brought it down a lot, the original plan was to charge $30/mo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30213110 If it really costs them $1 for 80 searches, I don't see how they can bring it much

You do have a point about the free tiers. I try to pay for things where I can, for example I'm a happy Fastmail user (and you should be too!) But paying for things is still no guarantee, see also: the OP. Google and Discord are both in

The biggest mining pools have known identities[1]. If some unknown group started mining and the hashrate jumped 50%, it would draw lots of attention. There's no way it could be done secretly. A more likely attack would be a government

For comparison, Python 1.0 was released in 1994. 7 years later in 2001, Python 2.2 was released. I don't think many of today's popular Python packages date back that far.

Terraform can be used to manage TXT records too. Where does it store metadata for them? Or is it TXT all the way down?
