It's less the job post, more the implication, that they consider Rust to be better than (their internally developed) C# for one of their major products. And that I think is worth news (as it could further drive towards adoption of Rust in general).

And yet, he's using the mouse and an Apple keyboard.

Where's mech-vim-hacker-typer-power?

Easy, it's just... continue programming in python. (large codebases are a mess in python...)

More seriously: Don't do that, it'll only create headaches for your fellow colleagues and will not really hit those (hard) that likely deserve this.

Yep use a little bit more deeply cascaded generic rust code with a lot of fancy trait-bounds and error messages will explode and be similar as C++ (though to be fair they are still likely way more helpful than C++ template based error messages). Really hope that the compiler/error devs will improve in this area

They emit a lot, but they transport ... a very lot. Trucks are higher emitters per comodity.

Still both should be powered by something else like hydrogen (more interesting for ships I guess) or batteries...

And cruise ships should be IMHO taxed so high (the tax should probably directly go to countermeasures), such that only very rich people are able to (not that I grant them the fun, but they should finance this climate disaster in every possible way...)

I'm very split between Github (currently) providing a really nice interface/collection/way to access all kinds of open source projects and the obvious 'out-of-control centralisation' by the mega corp Microsoft.

It definitely got a little bit bloated the last years, but I still think it has a generally nice interface (browse code/review stuff, simple issue/PR system, simple way for CI via actions etc.).

But I really hope something like https://forgefed.org/ takes off someday, I feel like if the barriers are much lower to get onto a different network with the same user (without registering etc.) decentralisation can lead to more innovation in this space (management of all the stuff that Git doesn't manage itself, like issues, PRs etc.).

The beauty of Git though is that it's decentralized, so you can just mirror it on Github while mainly using a different platform. If you want a bigger userbase interacting/contributing with your project you'll allow PRs and issues there and if not just add a link to the README that points to the platform you're using...

On another look, though, we have to keep in mind, though that this is code-golf, so in no way representative for actual code-bases.

bu... buut economic growth > everything else ...?

(Nor anything else...)

Is this a hard error? Like it doesn't compile at all?

Isn't there something like #[allow(unused)] in Rust you can put over the declaration?

You seem to be coming up with conspiracy theories, don't you?

And you don't seem to know how (developing) software works, and that people aren't infallible when it comes to avoiding bugs.

Popularity just also increases the attack surface to a project, all these bugs can absolutely also occur in kbin. Unless software is mathematically proven (which is practically impossible in this context), it's always possible that there is a bug lurking around the corner.

Is most software getting worse?

Fixed for ya.

Yeah it's more of a disaster of choosing Unity for new stuff.

While it was "almost" a no-brainer to use Unity in the past for student projects, this change among other negative stuff/press that happened with Unity etc. in the younger past slowly presses you towards e.g. Godot, since it can do as much as Unity can (at least in the beginning, as you're not hitting the limits of it) and is more in line with the academic way of thinking (not pressing charges for pretty much everything that is possible to press charges for...)

As I have used Unity extensively in the past, the amount of progress is dwarved by e.g. Unreal. It has not really made significant progress over the last (lets say) ~5 years, compared to Godot and Unreal (and soon Bevy when they have an editor/UI for better workflow for artists etc.).

So I don't see a long-term future for Unity, most of the "progress" of Unity was buying in technology that doesn't really feel organic in the Unity ecosystem (not just buying in, e.g. the ECS of Unity doesn't feel close as ergonomic compared to Bevys).

I think this slow and scattered progress will be the slow death sentence for Unity as other engines with less enshitification over the past will catch up, and don't have such a greedy dumbfu** of a CEO...

I guess you have to almost thank John Riccitiello for that, haha

Yeah, but unironic...

If your code needs comments, it's either because it's unnecessarily complex/convoluted, or because there's more thought in it (e.g. complex mathematic operations, or edge-cases etc.). Comments just often don't age well IME, and when people are "forced" to read the (hopefully readable) code, they will more likely understand what is really happening, and the relevant design decisions.

Good video I really recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf7vDBBOBUA

Don't get me wrong comments != documentation (e.g. doc-comments above function/method).

I probably was a bit unprecise, as others here summed up well, it's the why that should be commented.

Calckey/Firefish

Much more beautiful than mastodon IMHO

Thanks for the info about the other projects.

I mean I'm being honest I'm a little bit in love with Rust haha, so I can recommend learning that if you haven't yet, it has teached me the most of how to design nice programs/libs (in an efficient manner) and generally just feels nice to write. And a very relevant side-effect: it seems like it has a rapid growth also on the job-market. I really feel that growth in terms of improving library quality and tooling (rust-analyzer is I think really the best language server by now), not the least seeing ever more often something like this: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/06/rust-fact-vs-fiction-5-insights-from-googles-rust-journey-2022.html)

I mean I haven't actually read many pro-federation posts (and all are downvoted), so... just go with defederation?

I'm also against federating, I seriously don't trust these big tech-corporate, they all just want to make money by using our data and especially FB promotes the decay of society (as you have already mentioned). I don't think they want to create any good in the fediverse, there are articles that suggest that they want to destroy the fediverse. I'm not sure about this either, but I don't think they promote the decentralization of social media for obvious reasons (which is the fediverse all about).

Wow I pretty much disagree with everything you said haha. E.g. packaging/venv in python is absolute hell compared to something like cargo/crates in Rust. Try to manage a large project in python and you'll likely revise your answer (if you actually know all the nice alternatives out there...)
