Shut up! If you don't use Amazon how will the rich people go to space?

Honestly I wasn't expecting to see a significant increase. It's a nice surprise. If we get to 6-7% Linux will be much harder to ignore for software and hardware providers. Personally I'm good on software but better wifi drivers would be welcomed.

In my experience rust compiler simply moves the errors to earlier stage of development. With rust I write something and get bunch of errors right in the IDE. I spend some time fixing those and when all the compilation errors are gone in 99% of cases the code works and does what it's supposed to do.

With other languages I write some code and the compiler/interpreter says it's all good. I then run it, get bunch of errors and have to do some debugging, move back and forth between the editor and the command line/browser/application and fix all the bugs one by one.

So yeah, rust compiler complains a lot but it's to make your life easier, not harder. For me working rust way is just much more pleasant. I get immediate visual clues about the errors right in the IDE. When I finally get it right and all the errors dispersal it's like solving a small puzzle. You know you got it and it feels good. With other languages you think you got it all the time only to find another bug when you run it. Doing it this way is much more frustrating.

In Spain you would have to wait for 5-10 seconds without moving for anyone to honk. At least where I live. People just don't usually get angry about it. I don't expect anyone to stare at the red light like it's a race track. Maybe someone is adjusting the radio, maybe they are putting on sunglasses. I mean, I don't care, I can arrive 5 seconds later. 99% of drivers here think the same.

I once worked with a British guy here. He drove me somewhere couple of times and he would always complain at how long Spanish drivers take to start when light changes. He crashed and totaled his car soon after. Slipped on a slightly wet asphalt and went out of the road. For me it's typical that the worse drivers are the impatient ones. Just relax, it's not a race.

I mean... you should always go the speed limit, right? Or slower of course.

Actually, in Java 24 it's:

void main() { println("Hello World"); }

Ketamin kicked in and he thinks people like him again.

He's toxic now. Giving money to candidates will have the opposite effect.

You don’t ban pipes, because they can be used to make pipe-bombs. You ban making pipe-bombs. Your proposals are so broad they would ban way too many things that are ok.

Ok, I see your point. You think that videos or random kids dancing on TikTok or kids you don't know doing theater are somehow valuable are should be protected. Personally I don't know who enjoys those videos and I think banning all of them achieves the desired goal without sacrificing anything of value. I thought that only other kids watch those videos and that everything about it is harmful. It basically trains easy to influence kids to fight for internet points, teaches the the wrong values and promotes bullying. You clearly think that having kids on TikToc have some benefits. We're not going to agree about this.

As for phones, if we have science proving that they are harmful to kids I don't see how they are different from cigarettes or alcohol. Then again, we let parents fuck up their kids in many different ways so I guess you're right here and we should leave it to them. Their are free to take care of their children if they want to and we can't force everyone to be a good parent anyway.

Football fans would willingly go to a gulag to watch the World Cup. They went to Qatar without any hesitation. 99% of people don't take politics, human rights or morality into consideration when planning entertainment.

Catching former ICE agents and smashing their heads with baseball bats I suppose. Or carving 'MAGA' on their foreheads with knifes.

I just got a new laptop, put Debian 13 on it, installed Plasma, started configuring all the tools. Everything works great but when I get to set up the screensaver I realize it's Wayland. So no xscreensaver. So no IFS.

I had those fractals welcoming me when my computer wakes up probably for 20 years now. Now I'm supposed to just setup normal lock screen and move on? Nope. xdm, .xsessionrc, xscreensaver. Now it feels like home again.

But it's stupid, right? Just use new tools. They have more features. Better integrations. I'm still thinking about switching back to Wayland...

So, do you suffer from software nostalgia (a term I just made up)? Do you stick to good old tools even when the modern replacements are better? Or do you always chase the latest tools without looking back?

 

Hi everyone!

I'm conducting a brief survey (takes less than 1 minute) to better understand the Rust open source community. I'm particularly interested in learning about who contributes to Rust projects and what motivates or prevents people from getting involved.

I hope insights from this survey will help us identify better ways to support and engage potential contributors in the Rust community.

Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective!
