Source? Really dislike all these unsubstantiated claims everywhere.

it’s not

it is

years are a unit of time and you can’t count time

wtf lmfao

No worries! Yeah I agree.

You’re right, but the concern is still valid.

IDGAF who funds it or who develops it.

• E2E encrypted
• security review by independent party I trust which says there are no holes or bugs
• open source

Those three things are all that matters.

If you voted for Harris / Clinton then you’re just giving the DNC more power to push ineffective candidates we didn’t ask for, which is an even greater vote for Trump.

See? It works both ways.

If you didn’t vote for Trump, you didn’t vote for Trump.

The strategy to stop a lot of people from voting for Trump should be campaigning / education. It should not be to push people to vote for someone they don’t want to.

Early 1900s doesn’t mean 1900-1909. It usually means the early century (1900-1950). If they were born in 1945 then had a child when they were 30, that child would be 50.

Also, they might just mean that their mentality is like that of the early 1900s, not that their parents are necessarily that old.

Yeah, I noticed that too! It would be cool to make a more easily accessible collection of these kinds of things.

I found it!

Google. They had such a noble cause and potential - to organize the world’s information so that everyone could search it effectively. There was a point I thought of them as the epitome of academia, a huge force in the quest for the advancement of the world.

Now they’ve become the exact opposite.

I had a Popular Science magazine that included the 50 coolest websites you should visit. That was mine. I still get hit with so much nostalgia about it. They were legit so cool that they still put most websites I see nowadays to shame.

Scientists should consult tech people about stuff like this just like we should consult scientists for science stuff. Unfortunately a lot of tech people also aren’t conscious of this stuff either.

I’d say Rust is definitely mainstream. Obviously not the level of JS or Python, but it’s being used all over the place. All FAANG companies, the Linux kernel, JS runtimes, web browsers, Android, Signal, Mullvad…

IMO GC has nothing to do with high or low level. It’s just incidental that there’s a correlation. In GC you usually don’t need to think about manually allocating or deallocating memory or truly understand what pointers are (in some ways anyway). In C / C++ you do.

In Rust you almost never manually allocate or deallocate, and you have both very high and low level APIs.

I’d say Rust is both high and low level. It just depends what you use it for. If you want to build a CLI or a web server, it’s great for that. If you want to do kernel stuff and choose to flip bits around you can do that too.

As for books, maybe you’d like trying Rustlings instead.

…why do you think Twitter had anything to do with getting Musk into the White House?

1. Rust is the best language for writing WASM in, so you can write Rust and run it in the browser without transpiling to JS.
2. Rust isn’t just about speed or GC pauses. Its type system is amazing and allows you to encode things that you cannot in any other mainstream language.
3. It’s so incredibly well designed, it fewla like that clip from Ricky and Morty where Morty feels what standing on a truly even plane feels like then has a panic attack when he leaves. Rust rethought everything from scratch, and isn’t just some new syntax or fancy compiler tricks. No null, no exceptions, no inheritance, new typing capabilities, etc.

Go made some pretty poor design choices, and now even Google is choosing Rust for a lot of stuff instead.

That’s the whole point. That’s a good thing.

Not sure, I’ve been looking at Graphene myself but haven’t used it. Just passing on what I’ve seen.

Custom ROMs are all different. Some suck, some don’t. I’ve heard very good things about Graphene. You can even install it from the web in a couple clicks.
