If you think this is bad, how about the fact that Americans only have one math!

The time has come to stop the greedy hoarding of maths by Europeans. Let's open up our hearts and donate another math or two to these poor unfortunate souls.

I've been using patched rif is fun for months now and it works well. It's useful for keeping in touch with some of the niche communities that are more active on Reddit than Lemmy.

If implemented, this would be the most America has done about school shootings in decades

Batman. I like to add "duh nuh nuh nuh" and "BATMAN!"

The lack of ABI stability in Rust means they don't have to commit to language changes that may prove to be unpopular or poorly designed later.

Swift went through the same growing pains and, IMO, has suffered for it a bit with even quite basic code often needing lots of availability checks. This may seem counter intuitive but Swift is in the unique(-ish) position of having to serve both a huge corporation demanding significant evolution on a regular basis and a cross platform community that don't want to write an encyclopedia every time a major version of the language is rolled out.

Rust doesn't have this issue and I think it's right for them to allow themselves the freedom to correct language design errors until it gains more traction as a systems language - and it's quite exciting that we're seeing that traction happen now in realtime!

This too heading towards enshittification ?

As the article says, they're trying to develop a standard like robots.txt that prevents scraping for usage by AI companies.

While I think this is futile in an industry that's already dominated by oligarchical tech companies, it's at least an attempt to make things better than the status quo of "we'll steal your shit and you can't do anything nurr nurrrrr"

This is basically a veiled admission that OpenAI are falling behind in the very arms race they started. Good, fuck Altman. We need less ultra-corpo tech bro bullshit in prevailing technology.

Pinball!

I'm so happy, cos today I found this thread

You've seen boomer humor. Get ready for milly mirth

Swift is a pretty fully fledged systems language at this point ... however, it's far from tried and tested for use cases like this and cross platform support is still garbage, so still a pretty questionable choice.

Thanks ancestors, very cool 👍

Carry a big stick

As staff engineer, I'm far too busy to read any of these comments. Also I haven't written any code in 4 years

Wait until you hear about their head fans. They'll blow your mind.

Kind of love this tbh

In a way

Reddit, when the walls fell

I think it's fair to say that ketamine may be affecting his faculties, but this is dipping it's toe into "the drugs make him do it!" sanewashing.

Drugs don't make people assholes. They were assholes before they took the drugs, and the drugs emphasise what an asshole they are.
