That whole example feels like a strawman, from my (maybe limited) experience something that's rather the exception than the norm. First, lifetimes are elided in most cases. Second, the curly braces for the closure are not needed and ru

I can vouch for purelymail ( https://purelymail.com/ ), it's simply amazing. Their only rule is basically no marketing emails. It's also quite affordable compared to others.

It uses the shared mime database, which in turn relies on both file type and content to detect the mime.

All of these are optional, just disable and use an alternative? I use resolved and timesyncd however and they work amazing for my basic needs on the laptop.

Almost every point made here is basically false. The best performing languages are imperative (C, C++, Rust), with functional languages being at least an order of magnitude slower both in benchmarks and real-life workloads. Whatever propert

Immigration has a direct impact on the labor market. Unlimited migration would likely outpace any sort of economic growth and massively depress wages. I would not look forward to competing with an order of magnitude more candidates for jobs

Wanting to make a livable wage is not greed. Besides, unchecked migration would lead not only to seriously depressed wages but also massive social issues.

Well the privileged extension requires root, which is what I was alluding to in my post :)

by chmln 6y ago
Note that you can totally do all of those if you root your device. Highly recommend.

Because of "composability", even if the highly coupled functions will likely never be reused. And leaky "abstractions" that create more problems than they solve but look cooler than doing things the straightforward way.

Perhaps it's worth educating yourself on possible reasons. r/politics and HN are not the best places to do that, to put it mildly.

That's definitely true as well - some responses by poettering in systemd issues in particular are unnecessarily condescending and very unprofessional. Also, while systemd and pulseaudio were heavily pushed by many distros, alsa was and

I think it's a small but very loud minority that hates on systemd, pulseaudio, etc. Majority of users, like me, never really comment on those two because they do their job so well - they get out of my way and just work.

This is practically the end of Mozilla, a sad result of horrendous mismanagement. Instead of pouring all its resources to make a superior browser and thus attract more money by having bigger market share, they just stagnated. They bought po

That makes no sense. People might not know about WASM or Rust, but people like fast browsers. Rust is what powers Servo, which in turn made performance of Firefox somewhat acceptable. Gutting both teams is extremely short-sighted.

10K is a lot of code. As a maintainer of a popular 3k LOC typescript library, even at 1k LOC you start running into frequent type-related bugs with JavaScript

Sadly, alacritty feels like such a waste of effort. The input lag is pretty bad, and text processing performance is a non-issue with most terminals. I've used xterm for years and never felt it was too slow at that. Latency makes much m
