I apologise if my opinion here (this ceremony being ‘disgusting’) came across as me finding it to be fact, because I didn’t. My opinion here is one I consider sensible, and as such would find anyone disagreeing insane.
Perhaps you took this:
This was a horrible waste of money and time
Out of the context of being an opinion formed by me?
think you had an original thought
Much to the contrary. My thought is anything but original, and I’m far happier for it.
Additionally, being informed by the ‘insecurities and beliefs’ (as you say) one is raised with hardly makes one a slave to the world providing these ‘insecurities and beliefs’ - I would think that learning from lessons told is much smarter than trying to come up with stupid original thoughts.
Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by ‘insecurities’?
This was a horrible waste of money and time, and only really produced something that I can only describe as disgusting. Someone who recognises that doesn’t automatically become a bigot.
Looking at the treatment of women in Iran, I think ‘slaves’ is a huge overstatement. But I do agree that the way authorities are treating women in some cases is appalling.
Holds true for most of what this guy said, save a few things.
woman oppression and other extrem views
Could you elaborate on what you’re referring to by this?
If you want to keep everything inside a singular Nix configuration while still using Docker, you can check out the NixOS option virtualisation.oci-containers
- essentially, a declarative way of managing docker/podman containers (similar to docker-compose) but with Nix.
You could host on Gitea and mirror to GitHub. Obviously, users may be less inclined to sign up to your Gitea instance, but I hope people being unwilling to register becomes less of an issue once Forgejo (Gitea fork) implements forge federation.
I hope this changes (even if a little bit) once Forgejo (FLOSS Gitea fork) adds forge federation.
But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used
Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?
This is a pretty good option, though I also think something like what aseprite has done is pretty good too (compile it yourself for free, or pay for a precompiled binary available through e.g. Steam) - from what I can tell this setup is fairly profitable.
Well, I’m not sure how many lines of C rm is written in but I think that rm being only around 4kb (iirc) is something to consider.
But still, storage probably matters least in this day and age. Oh, and…
something I used to completely nuke my home server
If I’m reading this right, then I hope you had backups ready :)
Absolutely.
Well, in all seriousness, I don’t think so. But I do think that Rust rewrites are generally good since they usually end up producing a higher-quality program which is significantly faster (this is pretty important to me).
Of course, there’s no point rewriting everything in Rust, since Rust’s benefits obviously don’t apply to anything.
I think one of the best things about Rust is that it can be used to write basically anything (at least, this is what the extent of the Rust ecosystem leads me to believe), from web apps and CLI tools to, I don’t know, kernels. That’s probably why there are so many Rust rewrites. People actually do write a variety of programs in Rust, and from what I can tell said variety is way bigger than in most other languages.
Nah, no way. :)
This probably isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but vpr
being memory-safe isn’t a benefit that it has over rm
, since rm
apparently doesn’t allocate any memory (as @[email protected] wrote).
the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.
Looks like I worded my project description poorly. As I wrote in another comment, I meant that this alternative is memory-safe (being written in safe Rust), but not that rm
isn’t.
edit: I’ve updated the post’s title to clear things up
I guess vpr -x
would be memory-safe that way then. ;)
I don’t know whether rm
is memory-safe or not, but vpr
is. By ‘memory-safe alternative’ I meant that this alternative is memory-safe, but not that rm
isn’t.
Nope. I believe people should carry, or rather deserve, more dignity than that.
