idiomaticrust··on What Is New in MySQL 8.1
Maybe HN knows better ;)

Anyway, thanks for submitting it. Otherwise I could miss it.

idiomaticrust··on What Is New in MySQL 8.1
I hope that MariaDB as a foundation and company will be in better shape in the near future.
idiomaticrust··on What Is New in MySQL 8.1
The link is broken. Here is the correct one https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.1/en/mysql-nutshell.html

From my POV I will say that it's a sad state. MySQL 8.0 was released back in 2018. So after 5 years of development, we have 10 new features. I'm not surprised. Oracle is one of the biggest cancers in IT world.

idiomaticrust··on PostgreSQL reconsiders its process-based model
He is right. Such rewrites cause a lot of problems if your compiler doesn't help you with avoiding data races.

But there is another way.

I think it's about this https://twitter.com/bayraktar_1love/status/16706753608228208...
idiomaticrust··on Quake's lightning gun bug explained [video]
I tried on Q1 from steam and the original and I can not repeat. I'll have to check how to run QW these days :)
idiomaticrust··on Quake's lightning gun bug explained [video]
Yes, IIRC it was exactly that teleport. I'll try to repeat this using hint from you :)

I was really confused when I hit that.

idiomaticrust··on By 2050, nobody will work and everyone will believe they're scamming others
And it's possible that "more resourceful" will try to "work" this way in a few full-time jobs at once.
idiomaticrust··on Quake's lightning gun bug explained [video]
Did anyone had a situation after entering the portal that it didn't teleport you, but you were in some different space with purple color and you had to move forward to be teleported? I had this once on the DM2 map. I tried to repeat this, but I never succeeded.
idiomaticrust··on Zap – Fast backends in Zig
Faster than axum? Nice!
idiomaticrust··on Rust has been forked to the Crab Language
2 months after fork and there is a first homophobic scandal that they try to cover up.
idiomaticrust··on Why do programmers prefer to be called engineers?
I've got an engineer title from University ;)

(In Poland it's technical title - something in between BSc and MSc)

idiomaticrust··on Why I Left Rust
Do you mean memelang?

The person who forked that language didn't have any experience regarding languages/compilers before that fork. Later he tried to create BrainFuck like an interpreter and some unspecified lang parser/lexer.

Recently there were a few commits in this language after 3 weeks of silence. It's a vanity project of one twitch influencer.

idiomaticrust··on Stoic Philosophers by Balenciaga
Don't take this as a critique of this video which is an ad for some youtube channel about philosophy.
idiomaticrust··on Stoic Philosophers by Balenciaga
Matrix, Lord Of The Rings, some random sh* by balenciaga. Is it funny for you? Serious question ;)
idiomaticrust··on 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey
Fingers crossed for the most beloved language of the past few years ;)
idiomaticrust··on Ask HN: Would you use paid social media?
No. Recently I started to use RSS reader again and I subscribe to blogs that I see valuable.

Tech twitter is terrible - doom scrolling to find something useful. Too much vim/tailwind related bs.

idiomaticrust··on A 22-year-old making $144,000 from 2 full-time remote jobs
The world isn't fair. Some people struggle to find work after being laid off. And would like to be valuable employees. But some greedy bastards try to occupy 3 jobs at once.

Karma works in mysterious ways. The dildo of consequences arrives not lubed.

idiomaticrust··on Epic Games CEO Metaverse is not dead
I think it was in Masters of Doom - Carmack was dreaming about a metaverse build on Quake 1.

The game can be a starting point.

I would say that Fortnite is 100x better starting point for the metaverse than what Meta did - the game engine that looked like a 2009 product.

idiomaticrust··on The White House on why Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t invited to its A.I. summit
Poor Mark...
idiomaticrust··on 10,000 Drone Operators Trained – Ukraine Minister of Digital Transformation
I just watched an interview with a drone operator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuBcuk2ZsH8 and he said that now every soldier trained in Ukraine has drone training.
idiomaticrust··on German band may have been refused UK entry ‘because they have day jobs’
Anarchy in The UK ;)
idiomaticrust··on Twitter deleted Jane Manchun Wong's account
She didn't want to pay $8 for verification?
idiomaticrust··on A.I. Is B.S
He is the second George Carlin. Totaly worth watching :)
idiomaticrust··on A Quarter Century of Mozilla
I have tremendous respect for Mozilla. Firefox is my primary browser since the beginning.

But I think that the greatest thing that they created is Rust.

idiomaticrust··on Twitter is dying
If you use it occasionally you didn't notice: - not working notifications - broken feeds - random delays in loading the page
idiomaticrust··on Twitter is dying
Well, I think that criticism is valid. The thing is that there is no good alternative. Elon can break a lot of things and people still will be there.
idiomaticrust··on Twitter is dying
If it's from TechCrunch, than it must be true ;)

But seriously, there is no good alternative on this market at this moment yet.

idiomaticrust··on Disney Eliminates Its Metaverse Division as Part of Company’s Layoffs Plan
Meta failure at Metaverse will have a long term consequences for this idea. Now every company that will want to develop Metaverse will have to deal with this stigma.

I think that the first time I read about the idea of realizing Metaverse was in the book "Masters of Doom".

Thanks Mark for destroying that!

idiomaticrust··on Ask HN: Is Google Slowly Dying?
I don't think that this company will die in a predictible future.

They are too large to be innovative. Internally they are paralyzed by processes, management, and burned-out programmers who had ideals a few years ago and now are tired of the internal system.

But Google is a rich company that can buy innovative startups and acquires innovative technology whenever they want.

I think it will be key for their survival.
