WhereIsTheTruth··on Google is building its own DeX: First look at Android's Desktop Mode
Why do people want Microsoft to dominate?

This is baffling to read

WhereIsTheTruth··on Odin, a pragmatic C alternative with a Go flavour
I like odin a lot, however, there are two things that just don't stick with me, and i ended up quitting:

- RTTI: just give me compile time type introspection and let me disable RTTI without making the language unusable

- when/import: just let me wrap an import inside a when block, being forced to split my file in 3 made me quit the language

WhereIsTheTruth··on China needs Taiwanese ports to take the island. Mines are the key to protecting
I am not suggesting anything; i am a nobody and so are you, Taiwanese are sovereign people, they'll choose what they want to do

DPP have lost latest legislative elections, and KMT, the winners, are advocating for closer ties with China

Besides, China wants peaceful reunification, warmongers want to arm Taiwan and steal its semiconductor industry

Always using proxies :smiley_face:

"1982 U.S.-PRC Joint Communiqué/Six Assurances

As they negotiated establishment of diplomatic relations, the U.S. and PRC governments agreed to set aside the contentious issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. They took up that issue in the 1982 August 17 Communiqué, in which the PRC states “a fundamental policy of striving for peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, and the U.S. government states it “understands and appreciates” that policy. The U.S. government states in the 1982 communiqué that with those statements “in mind,” “it does not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan,” and “intends gradually to reduce its sale of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution.” The U.S. government also declares “no intention” of “pursuing a policy of ‘two Chinas,’” meaning the PRC and the ROC, “or ‘one China, one Taiwan.’”"

WhereIsTheTruth··on Migrating away from Rust
> I can also say confidently that the #1 method to combat memory safety errors is array bounds checking. The #2 method is guaranteed initialization of variables. The #3 is stop doing pointer arithmetic (use arrays and ref's instead).

#4 safer union/enum, I do hope D gets tagged-union/pattern-matching sometimes in the future, I know about std.sumtype, but that's nowhere close to what Rust offer

WhereIsTheTruth··on Programming in D: Tutorial and Reference
It's like saying "C is no longer C if you don't link with libc", it just is not true at all, and honestly, a pretty stupid thing to say

I'm glad I no longer depend on Ubuntu

WhereIsTheTruth··on I just got an ad in VS Code
The issue with people like you is that you have no idea what a pattern is, and you are unaware of Microsoft's past use of such patterns

But I also blame the people who call this "an ad", this is not an ad, this is much worse

WhereIsTheTruth··on Four Years of Jai (2024)
odin has replaced the need for jai, and even then, i'm not sure there is a need for "yet another sugar for LLVM"

they show an adoration for C, and they both hate C++, yet they chose C++ for their compiler, go figure

By the time the US learns what "efficiency" means, China will be building on Mars

WhereIsTheTruth··on A startup doesn't need to be a unicorn
VC culture gives you the USA, a failing empire and a "silicon valley" which hasn't seen silicon for 3 decades
WhereIsTheTruth··on Nvidia adds native Python support to CUDA
python is the winner, turning pseudo code into interesting stuff

it's only the beginning, there is no need to create new programming languages anymore

"truth-seeking", modern journalism

WhereIsTheTruth··on I stopped everything and started writing C again
I'm on the same boat, i now use exclusively C, and D (with the -betterC flag) for my own projects

I refuse to touch anything else, but i keep an eye on the new languages that are being worked on, Zig for example

Their goal is to take it private, so yeah, pretty much planed
WhereIsTheTruth··on Rewriting essential Linux packages in Rust
This article is funny

> "I'm going to state the obvious, that Rust is very good for security, for parallelism, for performance".

> The idea to replace GNU coreutils with Rust versions was not about security, though, because the GNU versions were already quite secure. "They did an amazing job. They almost don't have any security issues in their code base." And it's not about the licensing, he said. "I'm not interested in that debate."

> One of the reasons that Ledru liked Rust for this project, he said, is that it's very portable. He is "almost certain" that code he writes in Rust is going to work well on everything from Android to Windows.

> Ledru cited laziness as another reason for using Rust. "So if there is a crate or library doing that work, I'm going to use it. I'm not going to implement it [myself]." There are between 200 and 300 dependencies in the uutils project. He said that he understood there is always a supply-chain-attack risk, "but that's a risk we are willing to take". There is more and more tooling around to help mitigate the risk, he said.

People who keep promote this fraud are fraudsters too
