Think problem is not in advanced features but in stability, integration and streamlining - compared to Rust/cargo.

Why don't you ask LLM?

by mirpa 5mo ago
I red it and its terrible nonsense.

by mirpa 5mo ago
Zig devs don't find LLMs to be net positive, what is so hard to understand? You can write your own compiler with LLM yourself, nobody is standing in your way.

It is open source. Many companies which contribute to it are American, but nobody from America can tell you what you can or cannot do with it - unlike Microsoft or Apple with their proprietary OS being forced by US government.

Yes, company Škoda is from Czech Republic where we have shared-use paths for cyclists and pedestrians. It is not "necessary". You should not be wearing noise canceling headphones while being in traffic - it makes you more liable i

All you need is one authority which defines who can verify age threshold (government). Those who can verify age threshold need to know your age and identity (bank). Those who are bound to restrict access based on age only need to know in wh

Non of which is necessary to verify you crossed age threshold. Websites are just lazy, maybe on purpose. Accepting this kind of low effort age verification would be foolish.

I tried to list available packages on NixOS and nix-env consumed more than 6 GB Ram. Everyone told me not to use nix-env; everyone except NixOS manual. Trying to understand NixOS environment is a deep rabbit hole.

I had to edit windows registry to fix the worst misfeatures of start & context menu. I never found solution to random wake up after suspend or missing icons after wake up - MS support was useless. Linux desktop even with non-zero amount

Stopping greatly reduced issues with my stiff neck and I also noticed that my hands are not nearly as cold as before. I drink black tea time to time, but it is nowhere near as addictive as coffee so I have no trouble with moderation.

I started using Proton recently and it is quite impressive. Some games have native support, some use Vulkan, others want to run on SteamDeck. I haven't booted Win 11 in more than a month. Not having to dual boot any time I want to swit

CVE-2024-3094 is it? You can argue that in C it is much easier to obfuscate your exploit. Implementing something in C is also a lot more work, so you might be also inclined to use 3rd party library.

That depends on your definition. Programming languages often deviate from mathematics when it comes to definition of variables, functions etc. That is by choice, Haskell tried to be as close to mathematical definition as possible.

It reminded me of Firefox attempts at rewriting part of C++ codebase and failing - because of C++ complexity; but succeeding later because of Rust https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/11/14/Fearless-Concurrency-I..

While you might argue which drug is dangerous and which isn't, ban on drugs is not arbitrary decision. You can't do whatever you want with your body, because you might loose control and hurt others. Drug abuse affects others as we

I think you need extension which will integrate language server. I installed extension for Haskell and it works out of the box.

I can certainly tell difference between 60 and 120 Hz in fast paced games, but I would not notice it in UI.

Gnome has practically no learning curve. Everything you need is top left/right corner and win/esc key.

Simplicity is feature on its own, you can't please everyone and you have other choices. Considering feature parity - I used small window managers in the past: Fvwm, Fluxbox, Pekwm... what made me eventually stick with Gnome was that It

I don't think UX is controversial, if you look at it from the perspective of average person. I was annoyed time to time by changes in Gnome UI. But I would not say I find KDE, XFce, Windows 11, Mac... more productive. I switched my old

Adding flags to gcc should be just a matter of pkg-config. In bindings to high level languages that should be handled automatically.

Interaction between lifetimes in REPL would probably diminish any advantages REPL has to offer. REPL is easy to do in GC languages, trade off Rust made by choosing not to use GC. Best next thing you can use are tests which are part of Rust&

If you have specific workflow where the golden path is suboptimal, sure. But I would not think that average user has any preferences and for many users Gnome is very reasonable.

You can go around case sensitivity in user facing applications by using fuzzy search. Even command line tools can use Tab for autocompletion. Case for case sensitivity is not in ability to have two files which differ in case, but simplicity
