PSA for Debian Testing users: read the wiki

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting

Control-F security returns 18 results. This is well known and there's even instructions on how to get faster updates in testing if you want.

My thought was that a lawsuit is more expensive than arbitration, but settling a class action lawsuit is cheaper than thousands of arbitrations.

Haha, I've been waiting for the 4K/8K reference in this volume. Poor Anna.

TIL this exists

Hadn't realized what a banger this season is for me as a SOL/RomCom lover. Just caught up with Makeine, Alya, and Gimai Seikatsu. I'll probably pick up Giji Harem after it all airs. I usually watch 4-5 shows per year, so having 4 in one season is great.

Dude, if you're being obtuse on purpose because you have an ax to grind against Rust, try a different approach. You're not getting anywhere, clearly by the fact that no one agrees with you.

If you don't like that Rust has a restricted trademark, then call that out instead of trying to label the software and it's license as non-free. It's literally called out in my source that name restrictions ipso facto does not violate freedom 3.

But if you genuinely believe that the implementation of the Rust language and it's trademark is burdensome to create a fork, and you want people to believe you, then you gotta bring receipts. Remember, the benchmark that we both quoted is that it "effectively hampers you from releasing your changes". It being "not a piece of cake" doesn't cut it.

Hint: Google Rust forks since their existence also undermines your claim.

Good luck.

While it would be ideal to have all datetime fields in databases and other data stores be time zone aware, that is certainly not the case. Also, SQLite (and probably others) do not have great support for time zones and it's recommended to store datetimes as UTC (typically unix timestamps).

Deprecating utcnow was a good idea, but they should have replaced it with naive_utcnow. Oh well.

Just because you can get part of your education remotely or through self-learning didn't mean "anything can be learned online".

And if you were hiring a math tutor for your kid, would you prefer a self-proclaimed expert from watching YouTube videos or would you want someone who got a degree from a credentialed university? And even if you don't care, why are you surprised that others would be skeptical of the YouTube expert?

Remote learning can be fine for some things, and self learning through informal channels are also fine, but it's not a full on replacement for formal education in all cases.

No sorry, that's just fundamentally false. You can't just learn titration techniques from watching a video. You can't learn phlebotomy without an instructor watching you do it to a patient. Hell, you aren't learning how to drive a car from playing a video game.

And I'm not sure where you are pulling the "if you are that powerful" from. You really have an ax to grind don't you.

Yep, this is the convention. Unfortunately, I've never been able to enforce it. Encouraging good git commit messages is probably the bottom of the things I can coach. I'd be happy if commits were properly squashed/rebased and that we all followed the same PR merge strategy.

"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to "I'm lying".
