that's just called having a complete project in a stable language lol, not everything needs a change every week to function well...

unfortunately just an inherent consequence of treating software as needing continuous improvements and having yearly release targets, you can't just say that this settings menu is already perfect as is, you have to change it, therefore

> The reason they rolled their own was because it came out before the Double-Ratchet/Axolotl protocol and OtR (which double-ratchet is essentially based on) was extremely inconvenient to use properly and had its own weaknesses. this

can anyone explain why telegram doesn't use an audited e2e implementation? is it really because they wanted more convenient and faster cross-device sync? have they been threatened and/or backdoored by the fsb? they basically stole

unfortunately this is an inherent property of a system (software in this case) that punishes stability and rewards changes for the sake of changes if you don't modify your library, app, OS, etc for 2 years, it's perceived as aband

spotlight routinely fails to find existing files, newly added programs or system stuff, settings search ranks search results incorrectly, doesn't have fuzzy matching, fails to find stuff, for some languages parts are unfindable in that

yeah i've heard that they fixed search in both settings and spotlight there, but it just looks ugly as hell i don't wanna upgrade to it tbh

it's been a while since you used macos? apple has completely stopped giving a shit, extremely basic functionality like spotlight and settings search have been completely broken for years now...

> They acknowledge that these things aren't focused on "security" or "features" and that's okay. where? single header is just a way to package software, it has no relation to features, security or anything

yeah I'm sure that someone who doesn't understand the difference between power and energy definitely understands derivatives... you somehow managed to be perfectly unhelpful, condescending and insecure at the same time?

how does that happen btw? like it's understandable when a website is hosted on a vape (lol), but even a cheap vps should be able to handle like 10-20k views in the span of a couple hours (which is the max load from HN i'm assuming

i'm curious, if you're doing single header, why not also do the stb-style IMPL block + definitions block such that you avoid the issues from accidentally including the header multiple times?

that's two different languages, they don't have have a standardised build system across them

i'm saying that ease of dependency inclusion should not be a main criterion for evaluating how good a build system is, not that it isn't the main criterion for many people... like the entire point of my comment is that people ha

lowkey ppl who praise cargo seem to have no idea of the tradeoffs involved in dependency management the difficulty of including a dependency should be proportional to the risk you're taking on, meaning it shouldn't be as difficult
