I agree, but what I think is curious about the whole situation is that you can also see it strictly as a market failure. It's a very pure example where parties in competition each that have a use for some kind of software can shortsigh

I don't like it when developers break from the conventions and theming of my operating system because they feel entitled to. Sure, very sophisticated applications that have niche needs like Blender, Godot. Photoshop, etc may have a ju

I agree with this sentiment. At work our main codebase is in Rust and early on we wrote some CI tooling using the cargo xtask workflow and it adds a lot to compile times when we need to rebuild it (which is often since it depends on severa

That may be true but begs the questions: * Why should developers being forced to use more complex multi-part distribution methods if they don't want to? * Why can't developers handle signing the multi-part packages themselves if t

Rust's futures also get this through being poll-based. You cancel a future by dropping it. Futures compose really easily, so you can combine a bunch of futures in interesting trees of selects and joins and any that are not completed

What's the justification for this recommendation? I find this really curious since I had some stomach acid issues that started during the pandemic (like, perhaps late 2020) that I assumed were stress related. I don't remember

Microsoft doesn't care that much about user-controllable hardware, not as much as they used to. Their partnerships with OEMs have grown very deep and they managed to push Pluton for any device that wants to be certified for W11. Th

It's still undeniable that most crypto projects exist primarily to get retail investors to buy in to allow VCs and other insiders to cash out on them. Not directly as a simple rugpull but a longer term slow bleed, using the leverage t

On the contrary, building cities to be nicer places to be a pedestrian in means you can design them more around people without cars. Look up statistics on how much land we dedicate to parking. You end up with far more effective use of lan
