At least they use punctuation. We've recently had a project on HN where the author used only lower cases and no punctuation because they equated it to being chained by the system.

There's no need for such complexity. FPGAs read their programming from an i2c eeprom/flash when they boot, the hidden CPU just has to sniff that bus to get the entire bitstream and know the mapping.

There is hardly any real C code in Gio, it's just bindings for the platforms' APIs (X11, Wayland, GL). Somehow, they managed to avoid requiring CGO on Windows so it's 100% Go there.

That would be sublime! Defer is something I've been wanting in C for 20 years. It makes resource management clear, easy to reason about, and concise.

In this specific case the fast compilation is down to having 0 dependencies. Rust is usually only rivalled by npm in terms of number of dependencies that a typical project pulls. This project is a refreshing take!

You, Me, and the 12 other IRC users remaining aren't going anywhere. But denying that Discord has effectively killed IRC is just self-delusion in my opinion.

The xz backdoor was caused by packagers patching OpenSSH. Just because it was caught you don't get to pretend it doesn't count.

There's lots of precedent. We just have to look at the Ukraine-Russia war. Ukraine has shut down everything but the state-sponsored television. Russia has shut down most independent media since the beginning of the war as well. But adm
