Oh but in rust you learn more about computers/low level concepts, you’re just not good at coding”
Who cares? Coding is a tool to get shit done and I think devs forget this way too often, like if one works easier than the other why does learning lower level stuff matter?
This is pure junior energy. Or trolling, I honestly can’t tell.
You know that comment does nothing?
What did you actually do?
These changes are amazing! F-Droid could be provided on Google Play, Aurora Store could officially access the google store without worrying about rotating accounts, alternative payment methods could finally be proposed by side by side google pay in a single app…
But what about the appeal? What does that mean for the implementation date? Will that still be 1 November?
I blocked Lemmy.ml due to many users there continuously glorifying Russia and China. Moving away from Lemmy.world is probably good for the network, and I’ve never heard of lemdroi.id . Due to the spam of USAian news on All, it’s also a place I avoid. This would’ve thus completely passed by me.
They can hire? I thought they were in danger of getting wiped out by legal costs. Have charges been dropped?
Oh great, thanks for the run down! That clears things up 👍
It would be great I’d this got to a point where one could “just” buy any GPU without worrying about CUDA. Really amazing project.
A pity they have to fight with Linux upstream to get any Rust in.
Still, what an amazing project to reverse engineer such a hostile platform and make it even better than the original OS. Well done.
I don’t understand the history here. I thought AMD said “don’t do it”. Now there’s funding from a third party to " just do it"?
There were murmurs that NVIDIA had told AMD to stop funding the project, probably under threat of a lawsuit. Is this project not in a similar position again?
Bad title. It should be that Asahi Linux Vulkan driver lands many fixes and features. Malus has no credit whatsoever in this regard. They didn’t contribute zilch.
Is zig memory safe by design? If not, rust will “win”. Large companies aren’t going to hire for an unknown or unpopular memory unsafe language when they already have C or C++ - there’s just no contest.
Last I read, zig didn’t even have a standard string library. Unless that changes, it won’t even be a viable alternative to C/C++.
Edit: I checked and got this
the Zig language, like C, entrusts memory management to humans, placing full trust in human development. Zig then provides some memory safety checks to ensure memory safety. However, it still lacks the strict compile-time guarantees of Rust’s ownership system and borrow checker. Therefore, when writing Zig code, developers need to pay more attention to potential memory safety issues and ensure that errors and exceptional situations are handled correctly.
Interesting. Thank you for the insights. Now I have to look up why Netflix uses BSD…
It was some random idiot on the web talking shit. Even worse, it was an idiot on Twitter, the shithole of the internet. There’s no need to address them. Most people didn’t even know what the context was. Addressing it just gave more “publicity” to them.
It’s not even poking the hornet’s nest, it’s a calling out to a haggle of trolls. Fuck those people. Don’t give them attention.
We need a new license that requires payment if the use is commercial. One of the people involved in the coining of the term “open source” is already working on a licence, but maybe another one will be released earlier.
Companies that freeload from open source now should be forced to pay up.
That tweet was going to bring the trolls out. Why make it in the first place? It’s just there to cause drama.
pyenv, virtualenv, pipenv, aren’t package managers… they are virtual environment managers / creators and use pip for package management.
BSD is a top choice? I only thought it was on it’s way out. I’ve never seen it used or mentioned outside of “Mac is based on BSD!!!”.
The “why” section didn’t really explain why Quantum is investing in BSD at all. Did something happen additionally that led them to invest in BSD laptops of all things?
Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).
Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!
Your post is nearly the epitome of Chesterton’s Fence. You don’t seem to understand why Rust looks the way it does, works the way it does, why it exists, what it’s used for, and what problems it solves, but you’re very happy (or not, which is probably why you wrote this post) to trash it.
There are many responses to your comments that explain things quite well, yet, from what I see, you do not seem to concentrate on those.
And what I quoted is just the icing on top. It looks very much like you have one style of programming and approaching problems (the PHP style of “if it runs, it’s good”) and apply it to every problem. You have used a hammer your whole life and every problem looks like a nail. You can build a good many things with duct tape, nails, and a hammer. It might all do the job well enough for your standards or purposes and at times it might even be the perfect tool for a task.
But now you’ve discovered a screw driver, tried to hammer in a nail, and gotten quite frustrated that it didn’t work well. Instead of considering using a screw, you have tossed aside the screwdriver and decided to yell expletives into the ether.
The ether has responded with explanations, but you have chosen to ignore them all and staunchly hold on to your “screwdrivers are shit” conclusion. Had you said “I’m just blowing off steam, don’t take this seriously”, that’s what it would’ve been. However, you seem quite serious. Or, as I said before, you’re just trolling.
