That’s actually true, the American accent (excluding the southern accent) is the closest thing to the original English accent we know of.

The modern British accent and the Aussie accent that derived from it came to be in either the 19th or 20th century, I forget which.

On some level yes, but reading the article nothing persist between boots. This seems like a vulnerability that’s really only that serious A if you don’t apply AMDs patched micro code and B there’s another vulnerability on your system that lets this persist between operating system reinstall/in the BIOS.

I’m looking forward to just all the weird window management stuff being fixed by not having to use X11. For instance, Hunt Showdown currently freezes when you alt tab out of the game and folks have linked that to XWayland kind of but not really minimizing the game in the background.

That sounds likely, at least any time soon. It would be a lot of work to get up to par with the other implementations I’m sure.

Hmm… Interesting how they function with the compositors meant for other desktops. I didn’t know that was going to be a possibility in the Wayland sphere because of how close window management and compositing are in Wayland.

Ugh yeah that’s been an increasing problem too. I had some guy last year just as dusk was starting to set with a bike headlight blinding me on the bike trail.

100% this; I’ll see the same make a model go by, with LED lights, and it will be fine one time the next time I’ll be like 🔥 MY EYES 🔥.

Unless it’s a musical… and this is why I hate musicals…

But they are not the default option. And your new job may not use them.

Who cares if it’s the default? If it’s the best tool, use it.

It’s silly to have a reason for “going Rust” be the build system, especially in the context of something as new as a WASM context where basically any project is going to be green field or green field adjacent.

Exceptions is a non standard exit point. And by “non standard” I’m not talking about the language but about its surprise appearance not specified in the prototype. Calling double foo(); you don’t know if you should try/catch it, against which exceptions, is it an internal function that may throw 10 level deep ?

And that’s a feature not a bug; it gets incredibly tedious to unwrap or forward manually at every level.

By contrast fn foo() -> Result<f64, Error> in rRst tell you the function may fail. You can inspect the error type if you want to handle it. But the true power of Result in Rust (and Option) is that you have a lot of ergonomic ways to handle the bad case and you are forced to plan for it so you cannot use a bad value thinking it’s good:

You can do this in C++ https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/expected (and as I said, if you feel so inclined, turn off exceptions entirely); it’s just not the “usual” way of doing things.

I use Kopia to B2, then on a monthly basis I copy the current Kopia repo to an external drive that’s otherwise kept offline in my house.

I mean, maybe it’s not easy because they don’t provide debug information, but a sufficiently motivated person can debug a web assembly binary.

1. It’s statically compiled and isn’t dependent on system binaries and won’t break if there if the system has the wrong version like C/C++, allowing you to distribute it as a single binary without any other installation steps

You can do that with C++ too.

2. Still produces fairly small binaries unlike languages like Java or C# (because of the VM)

I mean, the jars are actually pretty small; but also I really don’t get the storage argument. I mean we live in a world where people happily download a 600 MB discord client.

3. Is a modern language with a good build system (It’s like night and day compared to CMake)

Meson exists … as do others.

4. And I just like how the language works (errors as values etc.)

Fair enough; though why? What’s wrong with exceptions?

I work in a code base where I can’t use exceptions because certain customers can’t use exceptions, and I regularly wish I could because errors as values is so tedious.

The minifiers have long made JavaScript just as indecipherable

In what world is a shower more used than a sink?

I work in a small company that doesn’t hire hardly at all… Stories like this scare me because I have no way to personally quantify how common that kind of attitude might be.

The fediverse as most people on here would reference that term, isn’t really designed for what you’re looking for.

Matrix effective is what you’re looking for. The only alternative to that would be something like TeamSpeak 6, which is a closed federated chat system (that’s still not really fully baked).

Netflix is like the only one on Android I have that ISN’T opt-ed out.

Well it sounds like this is the thing for you! Haha
