But the RT patches have been available for 20 years… not sure why the fact that it is mainlined would suddenly expand its popularity? It might be easier to get started sure, but people doing RT were already going to such troubles anyway.

I wish they didn’t switch to requiring a login to search code… seems like a big privacy issue cause you just know they’re saving all those searches and associating it with your account.

Perhaps they meant to say “zero perceived latency on a very specific hardware setup”

Actually, everything is a remix

pretty sure it’s been a thing since even before free compilers

I’m not sure what people think AI was ever going to be… every time something new comes out it’s always dismissed because “it’s basically just a X that does Y”. I think that will continue to be the case until there is some literal connection to actual brains, in which case the concept of what a brain is will probably be questioned as well.

Randomly stumbling upon a font nerd was not on my bingo card today. I didn’t know about Revue, thanks.

I think syntax preference plays an enormous role in convincing people to even try it.

It was better in audio/video quality and being smaller, but not runtimes.

I have, I still don’t like it and I have tried several times to get used to it and I just can’t. I don’t see any problem in avoiding a language because of its syntax that is painful for me to look at all day.

Regardless of whether you think those reasons are subjectively bad or not, it is the current reality for many developers.

It’s wrong to force it. Most choices in history don’t end up with the best one being used. Beta was better than VHS for example. Rust people are very bad at convincing others to try it, and objectively many people just don’t want to or don’t like it for various reasons.

Personally I highly dislike the syntax. People like familiar things, and to me it’s just too different from C++.

If anything I think Swift will be an easier sell when the speed and cross-platform issues are solved.

Any reason to use this over notcurses? Are there docs somewhere with examples on how to get started?

I’m very happy and healthy but thanks for asking

Now imagine how many services just silently cut off your password at 8 characters and people never notice.

UltraVNC is very guilty of this.

Just leak it before publishing it. Also most authors will give you the pdf for free if you just email them and ask for it nicely.

Did it work before on Pop? If so and you switched distros then you’ll need to re-pair the controller itself (or clear its pairings and re-initiate the pair from the controller before it’s visible to Bazzite) as the controller only remembers the pairing from your old OS install.

I want to see specific examples of serious bugs that rust would catch that clang -Weverything, clazy/clang-tidy and scan-build would not find for C++… because I’m still not convinced it is anywhere near worth learning at all for career/veteran C and C++ folks.
