Rust:

Still fighting the burrito check fil er

When Stallman was saying that smartphones would become a spying device, people were calling him crazy.

I am still thinking he's a bit on the crazy spectrum, but that some food for thought...

Yeah, when you're having fun pissing off people, people are pissed off.

Who would have guessed?

Or a spoon

Wasn't it supposedly affecting ALL Gnu/Linux PLUS others?

That's so weird that my GNU/Linux isn't affected by this vulnerability...

Next time that margarine is going to scream "wolf", I will take it with a grain of salt...

We will miss the days Linus was maintaining the Kernel... Who is going to write those poetic emails we all love?

The new technology is: show a message saying "Whoaa! You have busted your limit!" on every search.

I didn't do a search for 6 months, but whhooaaa! Calm down with your searches!

Zig is "c", but modern and safe.

The big selling points compared to Rust are:

• A better syntax
• No hidden control flow
• No hidden memory allocation
• Really great interop with C (it's almost as if you just include the C code as you would in a C code base...)
• Fast compile time
• it's more readable
• it's simpler to learn

The syntax is really close to the C language; any C programmer can pick up Zig really fast.

IMO Zig is a far better choice to go in the kernel than Rust.

Linux has tried to include CPP in it, and it failed.

So imagine if trying to fit in a C-like cousin failed, how far they are to fit an alien language like Rust...

Exactly!

I find myself coming back to cataclysm dark days ahead, caves of qud, dwarf fortress and other "low graphical" games because of the content.

There is a limit on how long beautiful graphics can keep me playing a boring game.

The day I understood that, I started to pickup games based on content, and gosh I am richer than ever!

Nonetheless, I have plenty of games to play when I feel like it.

I went for a blood test two days ago.

The girls came back sprinting with some papers, asking me how it was possible???

I asked calmly what was going on, right? That's when she said she never saw, in her entire life, such beautiful, elegant, fast and clean blood!

I was like: "darling, that's because Zig is flowing in my veins, I just can't stop using it"...

That being said, I totally agree with you.

If there were a bunch of people knocking at your door, willing to pay you to work for you, wouldn't you take the money?

Of course you will. Companies will also.

The real faulty actors here are the innocent people that don't understand the gimmick.

I've been there, I can't really blame them... I am no better...

You forgot "Recall".

I wanted to make a wordplay here, but I couldn't find one.

Anyway, a lot of people are worried about the OS remembering everything you are doing like it's taking screenshots all the time.

For my part, that would be a big no-no.
