Accusations of fascism are rarely made in good faith either. As I pointed out in response to @undeveloped, Merrian-Webster's definition doesn't seem applicable to DHH.

As far as I can tell, the only thing DHH has that is consistent with this definition is racism/nationalism, but: 1. He hasn't spoused actual collectivist beliefs, like "nothing out of the state, everything within the state&qu

We , as in the terminally online, have known that AI can generate imperceptibly fake footage. There are still plenty of average people who still gets caught off guard.

I'd say that only really strengthens OP's overall point of being about using "the wrong language for the wrong thing".

Technically, the criteria for open source is freedom to freely distribute and modify the source code, not to upstream changes. That's a different for thing. https://opensource.org/osd

Given the nature of the US legal system as based on common law, that applies beyond patents, and may affect ARM and x86 as well. In the end, the real, effective law is the one understood by judges, adjucated in court cases, built on precede

"it's impossible to prove a negative" is a simplification. A negation is just the oppositive of an affirmation. If the affirmation is "there is an element E of an infinite set S that satisfies property P", the negat

Both of your post are actual ad hominem towards OP. In the first, you just said they didn't know how software is developed, without elaborating. With this in mind, their reply is less of an ad hominem and more of an inquiry. In the nex

Those aren't lines you are reading. Those are your hallucinations. At worst, the post reads like a propaganda for VectorWare, but, overall, it reads more like their insights on the matter.

In my case, the crashes were from last year to the start of this one. Some were related to AMDGPU, others to my WiFi card driver, so they're pretty recent. I don't quite remember the details of the shell crash, I only remember it

But, on the other hand, without IP, DRMs lose a lot of their power. Once the DRM is cracked, the protected data can be freely shared once more. The only usefulness for DRM in most industries would be preventing unauthorized copies in the fi

I did, in Linux. It was pretty common too. It got fix. But, every now and then, I still get an occasional panic. I also recall having my shell crashing (zsh or bash, I don't remember).

You seem to be proficient at monologuing towards walls. Perhaps that's why you keep assuming people will just take your word.

How about you elaborate instead of vague posting?

This post is basically a massive projection. When I guess, I make my guesses explicit. You, however, consistently make guesses and pretend they are true. You misinterpret facts so you can conveniently fit them into your narrative. I don&#x2

The problem is that you think Rust programmers despise C or C++. We don't. We just think there are better alternatives for modern development. In fact, a lot of Rust programmers were experienced C or C++ programmers. And then you say:

People who believe in total unsuitability would be acting silly indeed. But most would agree that writing code on languages that provide better and safer tooling is a positive. Sure, the main Rust compiler currently depends on LLVM, which i

Because Servo is unfinished, and companies have different priorities. For instance, Microsoft could've have been strict and formally checked code for Windows since the inception of constraint checkers, but they chose other priorities.

Quite frankly, this post is massive set of unsubstantiated claims. For starters, no one said the only problem with Chromium is C++. But it certainly contributes with some of the problems (specially those related to security). And, no, these

Wrong. For starters, a good typing system absolutely helps catching logic errors at compile time.
