Performance is not the core raison d'etre of Rust, and there are no shortage of testimonials to the difficulty new developers have with it, not to mention the slowness of its compiler. Given that, it's too much of a leap for me to

Isn't virtue signalling just a modern trendy name for what the ancients called sanctimony? Accusations of hypocrisy or virtue signaling are a distraction, a way to shout down another without addressing the substance of what they'v

Is there any word yet on when Sourcehut will move out of "alpha" status? Is it ready yet for actual day to day use? Have to say this project is looking really promising. I think we need an open alternative to the Github/Gitla

Ironically, uBlock flags this site leaking tracking cookies to two third-party sites, getclicky.com and presidium.com. Who watches the watcher, eh? But there's no denying that site is a good handy guide to things in Firefox that can be

I agree completely. Github is primarily a social network site. Code on Github is what tweets are on Twitter, or images on Instagram. Grist for the social media attention mill! And just like every other social media site, it's being gam

This is fascinating to me. There's also "lax" from Old Norse, which also means "salmon". There's an Irish town near Dublin named "Leixlip" which comes from "Lax Hlaup", meaning Salmon Leap.
