Want to understand this as well. I was looking at using Rust for some static analysis of JavaScript files recently. My impression is that despite there being multiple parsers written in Rust -- the ones in swc, rslint and maybe others -- th

Can't agree. Even as recent as about one decade ago, the best way to learn a programming language is often buying a book or checking out a book from the library, because that's the only high-quality source on the topic. Since then

For (1) , that ship has sailed for any company that actually owns their offices -- and there are a ton of them. Unless they sell the property, which many never will for as long as company is in a good financial state, one desk not utilized

The hypocrisy is that my company boasts about eliminating carbon emissions with all the solar panels and carbon credits, yet ask people to come in to work three days a week, some of which drive one hour one-way, as if that has nothing to do

You missed the point. It's usability rather than functionality. I can 100% do all of this but there is no chance I would choose this over OneDrive/Dropbox etc. Although there are new functionalities from Dropbox -- (easy) online a

I have been using a Samsung S24 series phone for a few months, with "circle to search" and Gemini-powered Google Assistant. I have used circle to search about three times, and disabled Google Assistant. I know that a "power u

Linked YouTube video was from 12 years ago. These guys who initiated the effort could mean well and put all their efforts into it. That doesn't invalidate the parent's point a tiny bit -- nobody is incentivized to make it good to
