Rust's approach of being unsafe-by-default? That's kind of the exact opposite of Rust.

Modern Java has nowhere near the developer ergonomics of C#, I can tell you that much. You are still manually writing tons of boilerplate, you still cannot express something as simple as List<int> (and the JSR for that is on its, what

I have experienced exactly one bug, namely every tree within view-distance being visible through walls at all times. It is possibly the single most immersion breaking bug I have experienced in a video game and every time I see it I cringe.

I have seen fifteen or so such top- or second-level comments on this and the previous thread. It was about one apologist to every two critics there, and one to four here. It is by no means a rare perception here.

You are using an argument for not wanting to publish to more than one store, to defend a position of not wanting there to be more than one store. Simply because you don't want to use it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. If y

Swathes how vast? Have you checked? Everyone seems to know of one, nobody seems to know one. And what happens when the big tech companies start pushing wrong information, or censoring right information? Or, a better question, how do

Assuming the truth of this, that's exactly the problem . This stuff is something every single person needs to be taught, not just the 1% choosing a history major of the 36% of the people who go to college.

I disagree on the part about manifests. Having a manifest file containing device compatibility and permission information that can be read without executing your app is critical for e.g. app stores.

You perhaps miss the point of 'then start your own thing'. It is not meant as a realistic suggestion of where to take your career. It is meant to point out that the employer/employee relationship is one-directional for relati

Argue from personal interest if you like, but arguing from business interest suggests that you have a better idea what makes them money than their execs do; the final delay can't have been done for much more than money. As for my per

Every alternative platform that is focused on absolute free speech. If you found an anti-witch-hunt society, the population will be primarily witches, regardless of how bad witch hunts are. Not having free speech is detrimental if there i

If it was something that looked like YAML, but wasn't, that'd be fine. YAML in its simplest form is a neat idea. Indentation is simple and obvious. Same as it doesn't matter that TOML looks a heck of a lot like INI. But usi

It is infinitely amusing seeing people talk about the right and wrong sides of history as though they had a crystal ball. The phrase is best translated as "I'm right and you're wrong, moron", with no further clarificatio

I haven't experienced cueing, but I've seen its fallout, having switched coasts halfway through middle school. The change in literacy among my classmates was vivid. They would read straight past words, saying words similar but unm

Reading this, I was visualizing in my head an article titled Why Nulls Are Good which started with "Look, you may not like the idea of values that may or may not be present, but the truth is that a lot of programming relies on it. Wh

This is a tool. How good it is, is measured by how useful it is to me. If it does not provide something I need it to do, then it's less good for it. If it fails to provide the services it advertised as providing, then it's straigh

All the other formats talk about how easy they are to use, and when you mention security, they throw up their hands and say "I dunno". Flatpak, on the other hand, its entire shtick is how applications are sandboxed for security.

By what criteria? PS is installed on all Windows systems and does all of those things.

You take for granted that it should be Windows conforming to Linux. Why shouldn't Linux implement Winsock and COM and have Linux-specific PowerShell cmdlets and so forth? Windows dominates the desktop market more than Linux dominates t

On the "clunky syntax" doc comment: a thing typenum does repeatedly is to define generic typedefs that become trait exprs. For example, type If<Cond, Then, Else> = <(Then, Else) as If<Cond>>::Output;

It's so open source, the developer of C++/WinRT didn't even work for Microsoft when he made it.
