Not sure how Anubis plays with SourceHut trying to be js-free, but otherwise it's awesome. SourceHut prohibits anything cryptocurrency- or blockchain-related, so it's less restrictive now, but I didn't like this random opinio

Migrated to it around 3 years ago. All I needed was a dependable and simpler (preferably EU-based) GitHub alternative for my FOSS code. Now I am migrating away and stopped my donations to the e.V. Not because I have cryptocurrency-related o

Seems previously one of the goals for the Flatpak project was to develop a universal app packaging format for Linux OS family that suits even exotic ones like Alpine and Void (and it did fantastic job at that). Now the direction changed wit

Probably because: - better data race handling; - no garbage collection, more predictable performance; - stricter type system that can enforce constraints better; - closer to metal and better FFI support. Which seems to matter more for Tor p

I wouldn't say it's bad at GUIs either. There are some nice libraries like Iced and Slint. Some even have good accessibility support like egui. There is a full-fledged DE written in Rust that uses Iced: https://en.wikip

I find myself using channels in async Rust more than any other sync primitives. No more deadlock headaches. Easy to combine multiple channels in one state-keeping loop using combinators. And the dead goroutines problem described in the arti

I have been annoyed by this before, but now it's mostly obvious troll or sarcastic posts. Rust haters' cult on the other hand...

I am not sure what are you trying to represent with this example, but here is the exact same thing without any unsafe: use rayon::prelude::*; use std::time::{Instant, Duration}; use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering}; fn main() {
