I'm not against immutable distro's on principle. I imagine they still have some kinks to iron out, but I haven't looked in on them for a while.

My opinion on these things is; if it's a superior system, then it'll become the new standard, that's always what happens, and the naysayers are largely irrelevant. Just like computers, smart phones, the internet, etc.

I started learning Lua for a WoW add-on. Not even making my own add-on, just tweaking someone else's.

If you look at projects in more popular languages like JS, Rust, Python. There is plenty of new blood in the contributors list. I won't speculate as to why, but it looks like the new generation doesn't like c and c++.

I think this is also backed up by the Linux kernel and thunderbird projects. Both are old c/c++ codebases and both have stated they are adopting rust in hopes of drawing interest (and contributors) from the rust community.

I like how at the start of the line it explicitly says "out of memory" but we're just pretending this is some satanic bullshit.

She obviously read the error to find "kill process" and "sacrifice child" but still ignored the memory error

What mantra? I think this maintainer is doing the right thing here by trying to understand why this fix works.

You should always attempt to address the root cause of an issue instead of slapping band aid patches onto everything.

To me it looks like the maintainer is trying to find out what exactly is wrong. "this doesn't happen in our C implementation" implies that there's something wrong with the rust code specifically.

I think I understand this;

cancel -> submit the POST request and cancel -> undo this thing. maybe they shoulda just used submit & cancel or cancel & exit instead.

In Australia my employer reports my income and does all the tax before I get paid. Then at tax time I go to the Aus tax office website; review it, add any claims I want to make and submit it.

This is an American solution to an American problem.

I didn't know we even had dynamic compiled languages but a quick google search tells me Lisp counts. Wonder if Musk actually knew that or if this screenshot is taken mid dunning-kruger.

If you think this is more structured than traditional SQL, I really disagree. Is this a select * query, it's ambiguous. Also what table is being queried here there's no from or other table identifier.

ez! I work for a company that builds a SaaS end to end product.

Myself and my coworker were asked to build exports for a single client. They were json exports. To start the client would take weeks/months to get back to us, their spec was very vague and their exports had some really complex logic to sort data. We'd been going back and forth with them for almost a year when they said we should give it to them "as is". They now are the proud owners of 2 complex broken exporters.

There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses. - Bjarne Stroustrup

I think people criticise every language. I've generally got 5 languages that I use personally and for work: Rust, Go, Python, JS, PHP. I can complain about all 5 of them at the drop of a hat. No one likes everything about any language.

you probably don't need to learn it, Deno was a massive upgrade over Node and it didn't matter, not convinced this will be any different.
