Hmm... I admit I didn't follow the video and who was speaking very well and didn't notice hostility that others seem to pick up on. I've worked with plenty of people who turn childish when a technical discussion doesn't go their way, and I've had the luxury of mostly ignoring them, I guess.

It sounded like he was asking for deeper specification than others were willing or able to provide. That's a constant stalemate in software development. He's right to push for better specs, but if there aren't any then they have to work with what they've got.

My first response here was responding to the direct comparison of languages, which is kind of apples and oranges in this context, and I guess the languages involved aren't even really the issue.

I think most people would agree with you, but that isn't really the issue. Rather the question is where the threshold for rewriting in Rust vs maintaining in C lies. Rewriting in any language is costly and error-prone, so at what point do the benefits outweigh that cost and risk? For a legacy, battle-tested codebase (possibly one of the most widely tested codebases out there), the benefit is probably on the lower side.

My expectation is that a post's score is upvotes minus downvotes, but I think it should be more like upvotes plus comments with downvotes excluded (or maybe let users filter based on upvote/downvote ratio or something). Maybe count commenters instead of comments.

You can make vegan milk at home and it's way cheaper than cow's milk. Oat milk is SUPER EASY: 1 cup oats/2 cups water, soak for 15 minutes, blend and strain. Others are similarly easy and there are plenty of recipes online.

Having tasted a few dog foods and treats, I agree.

I'm guessing the pumpkin spice isn't too strong either, but dried pumpkin is the first "flavorful" ingredient, at least.

But these do have pumpkin in them.

My dog goes nuts for pumpkin puree, but hates greenies, so I dunno

My baseless opinion is that having a variety of instances with varying ethoses means that there's a good home instance for everyone (not just the verysmart, young, white, male, liberal a la Reddit), and federation means that that variety of people are intersecting and interacting a lot more than if instances were completely separate. At the same time, it still feels like a small community, or maybe a bunch of small communities. There seems to be a lot less of the snarky clapbacks and unpopular opinions getting nuked that's typical of other social media.

How about an app where you can take a picture of a tombstone and it'll show you a live webcam of the inside of the coffin?

Sounds like you're talking about a train app or something. I'm talking about an info/tourism app for a historical cemetery, where there's lots of potential for multimedia.

But uh, yeah, thanks for the beginners guide to client/server architecture, I guess.

I think you replied to the wrong person?

Probably, but making it an app allows users to pre-download the whole thing beforehand so they don't need to depend on cell data when they're out in a field.

Laurel Hill is a historical cemetery with a few historical figures buried there. Actually, I think Adrian Balboa's fictional grave is there, too. The app has audio tours and information about the architecture and stuff.

Actually I have very fond memories of my family's old Aerostar.

Just the one Falkland, actually.

I loved the controller except for the long pull on the shoulder buttons.

Based on the synopsis at the top of the article, I'd say absolutely not a good idea.
