I will volunteer… do a fine job of screwing up and that drama will fuel new contributors to step up.

Edit: Actually only the devs know enough about KDE to do it right?

you don’t need 60 fps to read text? All you need is to stream the text directly?

the last & is like doing “command &”. d is a function that takes argument and $@ is usually the first argument

Disclaimer: Below is my weird effort to step in the shoes of an insecure person who attacks change and holds on to their ways as a means to maintain their appearance of superiority:

The rust hate of this flavour feels more like its about shitting on “the left” and progressive ideas than about any kind of programming language intricacies.

My reason for saying this is the reference to Lunduke, and then in an issue tracker where it is very easy and painfully obvious that its a dependency mismatch due to updates talking about “culture” as if breakages like this don’t happen daily.

Rust is a community grown language that is inclusive. Which seems to irk conservatives who hate any kind of inclusivity or changing what’s cool and hip. C programming seems to be the unfortunate oasis that is corrupted and repurposed for enforcing delusions of grandeur and superiority complexes.

Rust is the first popular answer to memory problems in C which the supposed “elite hacker 10x” privileged types were using as a yard stick to “other” supposedly “mediocre” engineers. Any yard stick can be used to beat people they don’t consider in their in-group.

I feel like it is not wise to discard the opinion of a layperson with this reasoning. Sure experts have been working on it as their day job vs. Us just looking at the fruits of their labour. But that doesn’t justify the assumption that they are infallible. Don’t you agree in our own areas of supposed expertise we are often corrected or get inspiration from supposed laymen simply because we have been too myopic about solving the problem ahead of us?

I’m sure the ML Guys thought of that & tried to prevent it.

Deferring to authority is fine as long as you don’t make assumptions about what happened or didn’t happen.

brother you’re using the wrong thing. First of all you are using crypto that’s going to give you some memecoins that are obviously going to collide after 55 hours as what are you even doing not rugpulling the thing day 2?

Second of all, I am pretty sure you should use “RandomUUIDIToldYouSo” module for non-colliding hashes. We all know THAT thing gets its Noise from our parents’ instructions on doing a specific thing that keep changing arbitrarily every time you ask.

that’s unfortunate because even as a ludite i generate some code from LLMs to try things out before working on the application code. But doesn’t mean that I copy AI generated code into my application.

Transparency should be trusted to encourage good behavior.

If this company never disclosed their AI usage behind closed doors you would be none the wiser.

Wait how did you identify it’s LLM generated? Was it the repetition of the headline in the post body?

yo the people railing against this must consider themselves geniuses. It’s like people have a hateboner for rust.

Have you considered maybe that this was expected regardless of what language you do it in? It’s a rewrite and that’s definitely going to miss several decades of changes that have made the normal version good.

You have to measure the time it takes for the rust version to get to the same level as the non-rust counterpart.

Consider also you actually can’t switch off your brain because of memory guarantees. You have to work on other important things too.

Also keep a count of CVEs that the rust version generated and decide if the current port is better or a failure.

maybe the donor is generous and wishes the problem to be solved for more than one laptop. The benefits compound and for example avoid e-waste.

staging sucks anyway. Never catches bugs.

you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.

What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

My understanding so far is:

if business logic assumes a set of preconditions before a particular piece of code that the language/runtime/os satisfies… then it’s an immediate assert. Any kind of IO, memory creation and OS operations fall into this carefory.

However if the business logic assumes something in its own domain and that assumption does not hold then its better to handle that instead of crashing. Ex. being you expect a queue to have at least one element in some pipeline and if it is empty then return saying nothing to be done.

Edit: don’t assert/crash if your application is single process multithreaded unless you want your friend from accounting asking you why their stock ticker crashed just when they clicked a button in the coffee shop module of your app. Use some thread exit mechanism.

i pronounce it as cauchy

I wonder how it would look with excel sort

I hope you understand being different is not frowned upon… but rather the constant irritation of people wanting to prove something all the time. Like I get it, people want to be different… but when you want to communicate ideas you gotta find a common ground so talking is at least pleasant.

I don’t want to go through hoops to understand what you’re trying to say! having a good conversation is already hard with all the mindless rage bait.

I too would like to start using porn in my comments because my life isn’t spicy enough or something

Check if systemd has any clues:

1. journalctl -b > systemd-logs.txt
2. grep -C3 -i "error\|fail|warn\|fatal\|can't\|cannot" systemd-logs.txt

put it on codeberg and github… just to have a backup… doesn’t need to be public facing.
