This looks very promising. I love that Apache went straight to Rust vs the usual Java or similar.

Alternate title: C++ developer misses the point

-- (Hopefully) former C++ developer of ~20 years (now with Rust!)

No.

A long while back there were efforts to port Pantheon to FreeBSD. IMO, a coordinated effort to get the graphical and UX experience on Linux or FreeBSD would be better than yet another one.

I do wonder about eOS staff issues. It would be a shame to see that fall apart, I've been using it for years. Even so, someone picking up the torch as it were would be better than starting another.

I'm confused. I get a new Firefox version on my Windows, Android, and Linux machines consistently, with new features, fixes, and the latest web tech minus the privacy nightmares Google is trying to feed, at a regular basis. How are they not investing in FF?

100%

How the author arrives at the conclusion that the answer is to create another browser is beyond me.

Advocate for Firefox. Invest in Firefox. There you go.

I've only skimmed so far, but this looks really great. Good work!

I would imagine these could ultimately be combined with solar.

Mandatory filtering/blocking seems pretty unconstitutional to me, which is just one example.

Sure, but you see it's not a 'bribe' if you just call it 'lobbying', and corporations are people, so all good.

I worked at a parental controls company for a number of years here in Utah. There were various high members of the LDS church (whom were connected with our company in different ways) that would be pushing these kinds of things all the time.

PostgreSQL every time, unless you have a specific reason, or as already pointed out, you're sure you don't just need SQLite.

PSQL in my experience has vastly better tooling, community, and is ahead of the curve tech wise. Same with extensions availability. Or perhaps you need to move away from it to say CockroachDB, or similar which is much easier.

Without the law applying to all, there is no law.

The fact that we've come this far -- with all that Trump has done -- and are now only getting to what equates to a grain of sand in the grand scheme of all that he has managed to pull off... that tells you a lot. We've been playing with fire for a long time. If this isn't just the start of charges, we're in a lot of trouble.

All of these wonky tools are written for and by Python developers who themselves trip over the insanity. I think I have enough evidence after watching this go down for over a decade.

Why not "simply" admit that Python and it's ecosystem while broad, are an absolute clusterfuck?

"Is the Twitter replacement we've been waiting for?"

...by Meta. No. No sir, it is not.

ActivityPub (Mastodon variety) has been a breath of fresh air for me. That's my Twitter replacement, though that's bad wording, because I don't want what Twitter has been for years.

Why not `& curl ...` ?

Jokes on you, I just keep on borrowing!

Jason Scott from archive.org may be interested in such things.

I'd love to see this living in the Obsidian.md space. If I could work on my documents in the terminal on some machines while in graphical OS's on others... why yes please.

Have any of you actually written a CRUD app in Rust? I've written a couple that I also wrote in Node and Go. Using Tokio+Actix. It was a breeze, the LoC were actually similar to Node, and the built in observability was great.

Suggesting that Rust isn't a good choice for a backend CRUD is... odd. With that said, one of the particular CRUDs described above: We ultimately went with Go. Only because Rust isn't an officially approved language at our shop yet though.

> That’s a long-winded way of saying: ‘We’d rather make more money than care about the health of our employees.’

I wanted to come here to say the same thing, so I'll quote you instead. Greed over all other things, how swell.

Package managers are sometimes great for the user, and as mentioned, a pain for the developer in many cases. To cover even "basic" bases, the developer has to manage many package managers. Ouch.

From the user side, the package manager often doesn't do what I want, either. I could install Node (as an example) via `apt` or `yum`, and end up with a Node installed in a root location. Now I'm in a mess. Or I could use a install script, or even yet another 3rd party solution such as `npm` to do what I actually want: Node installed for me. ...of course, I just mentioned a whole other can of worms: All the "other" package managers out there.

TL;DR: KISS often is the best solution.

Thanks for the info! I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure. What I'm working on is a PoC and it's working well thus far. As Extism advances and supports some of these upcoming features, it may turn out to be "just right" for my needs.

Interesting. Just this week I've been building a little experiment in order to utilize WASM based plugins in a project I'm involved with. I'm using WasmEdge for the task and so far am having pretty good luck.

Questions: 1. Can WASM plugins with Extism easily call back into host provided APIs? 2. Complex types are supported?

It's mentioned already, but: Android.

Discounting Android as "Not Linux" enough is a mind boggle to me. Perhaps not "GNU" enough, but certainly the spirit of Linux -- customized for the particular needs, stable, fast, works on a plethora of hardware, etc.

Yes, absolutely, and for many projects.

..but like all things, it depends on your needs. Some have already pointed out the pages on SQLite's on site regarding # of writers (the main issue), etc.
