Honestly if you're still using Momo I pity you 💀

Gimp has a few weak spots but it's an incredibly capable tool and if you think phone apps can do things it can't then I don't think you know how to use it.

A well-documented config file is like the exact opposite of "tech paternalism".

Windows users are used to everything being so locked down that it's virtually impossible to mess up your system... lots of this stuff is in config files because exposing it for everyday users would be asking for people to completely brick their workflow.

Sure, I don't think it's like toxic or anything, but I also understand why Martin viewed the situation as an impasse requiring a decision from on high. Also, from my limited understanding it sounds like the new code was in a sequestered rust-only section of the dma subsystem, so I'm not clear on exactly what new burdens were being placed on the C dma maintainers.

Brother you literally cannot be pro-capitalist and be left wing.

Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

Motherfuckers are actually arguing that seeding a torrent isn't "distributing" unless they can show an instance of someone downloading a book from their IP... If that flies they better overturn every fucking piracy conviction ever.

If you read the article, the main issue is not the fact that it's Rust itself, but that it's a second language entering the codebase. There's definitely some validity to the argument.

My personal view is that any C developer who doesn't want to learn Rust is going to kick themselves once they do.

To be fair, I'm not sure how "I will do everything in my power to oppose this" is the anti-Rust side "work[ing] towards some resolution"...

I mean, I would argue that the answer in the OP is a good one. No human asking that question honestly wants to know the sum total of Rs in the word, they either want to know how many in "berry" or they're trying to trip up the model.

Your reading comprehension is shit.

Just in time for Back History Month! (I'm sorry)

I only heard about it from an episode of House lol

OP should be careful, spending time in enclosed spaces with termite infestations can cause naphthalene poisoning!

If your wondering isn't critical to the thought I would simplify to "the monkey who might be able to see my ears" or "can possibly see my ears". Otherwise AbouBenAdhem has the best option, though I might also suggest "The monkey whose ability to see my ears I'm wondering about"; splitting the prepositional phrase is more strictly proper but I think it reads a little better like this.

I'm not an expert on either codebase but I believe the main driver of complexity with developing a browser engine is the sheer number of standards and how fast they change and multiply. Wikipedia has to update articles and maintain the server backend, which is no small task with such a global and comprehensive website, but Firefox has to do similar things on top of vastly more complex code with much more churn. There's a reason Mozilla developed Rust as well.

Lmao you know ml just stands for Mali in this case right? Like do you think they're doing ideological purity testing when you sign up? Do you think my whole instance is CCP agents?

Using language like "disappeared" to refer to detainees just because the Western media can't conduct interviews with them in prison is textbook propaganda-speak.

This is exactly the propaganda I'm referring to. I'm sure some people are being detained unjustly. I'm also very sure that number, whether per capita or in raw headcount, is a lot lower than in the US.
