Consider hosting in a country less politicized on the said issues. I think for example you could host most traditional views without the any issue in Japan, for three reasons: freedeom of speech is guaranteed by constitution, they likely w

In some places they even push the expectation of being accessible immediately at any time ("being on call"), and it’s not paid hours. Crazy times we live in.

Rust is akin to the JS framework du jour in respect to safe languages: overpaid bored engineers started a project without bothering checking existing work or dismissing what they found, then they market the resulting (still unfinished) la

It’s a limitation of the phone-style applications where only one instance of a program can run at the same time. I think they addressed it in later revision of the framework, but that some people considered that was an acceptable solution o

This is totally true. My institution is able to deploy software at schools because we are managing it for them. Sometimes we have to host on their own server, but we still do the deployment. Doing otherwise would lead to 100% rejection of u

Why would you consider they aren’t? Journalists have by far the strongest leverage on public opinion than any other workers, and historically newspapers were indeed positioned politically (and still are, to a little extent).

You are right to point that out, since it’s more a lack of knowledge from GP than of exportable culture. I’ll add to your comment that China exports for decades a of lot of cultural products like drama and songs in all East-Asia, where sign

Among them only China scores a three digits number on an important metrics. The implication of this is controversial but can’t be discarded lightly.

I hate it too. At work we have a solution that use PDF text extraction software and the result is sometimes not great. This in turn breaks the feature I’m owning, making it hard to work reliably. Of course users aren’t aware of that, so I’m

It seems they just focus on the cost while the real problem is of sovereignty, and need to include an European dimension. The US have been found spying on the whole world (including their own citizens), so it’s warranted Europeans push back

You are totally right. This is why I don’t even bother using polite form expect when I really need it: my interlocutor is glad I’m speaking more Japanese than he could speak English or my native language anyway. I would also add that speaki

I opened the article and as soon as the beginning we are greeted with total bullshit: "When it comes to learning a language, immersion is key". No, immersion is not key. I know a bunch of people immersed for years in a foreign cou

No, the companies you listed wrote a PR blog posts or two saying they use Rust for a component or two, for a minor or internal product. Saying they are using it for "important parts of their infrastructure" is quite a stretch...

> There is also the possibility of limited success for Rust, i.e. the fact that it will kill C/C++ (which is inevitable), but fail to kill JavaScript and Java/Go/C#. This is the most probable issue. Rust doesn’t offer anyt

It’s also especially ironic to vouch for Javascript, and then in the next sentence switch to Typescript, which was precisely created to overcome some of JS defects.

I agree, the Java namespace system isn’t that good. In fact I hate it. First because it uses reverse DNS while common use of URL are in the opposite order. Second because the package sbu-namespace is enforced with the file system structure,

JSON should be banned for configuration, if only for the fact it doesn’t support comments.

Fix your grammar. English is the only foreign language I can read where I routinely have to pause to wonder and read sentences again to be sure of what’s going on because of purposely messed up pronoun usage. Normally I’m lucky as the rules

Same in France: the government destroyed the economy and made the worst massive privation of liberty since the establishment of the Republic (even the German invader didn’t go that far during WWII). So of course they’re trying to covert the

To some extend the engineering part is emerging: when a code base grows it becomes necessary to learn technics to factor it. What I find really time consuming when using a new language is searching for its API.
