It's not about removing redundancies or landmarks, it's about Rust having made some not-so-good choices.

It's slowly becoming apparent to more people (e. g. compare the screeching a few years ago about Rust's wrong choice of <>/::<> generics to today), which I guess is why we see more of these huffy articles from Rust defenders.

You mean the issue they banned him from? ;-)

> he shouldn't take a personalized Sourcehut-only exception because this doesn't address the core issue for any new small providers that pop up

Exactly. We already saw how this ended with Google vs. people running mail servers.

If you are buying toilets for 50.000 you probably should be.

I rarely see submissions with such a high proportion of flagged/dead posts ...

I wonder what it is that brings the crazies out of the woodwork, whenever some congress announcement happens.

Do you have a trusted person that you can hit up for some advice on how human interaction in a society works? Please do it.

Because the more I read from you, the more I believe that you are either severely mentally ill or just an enormous asshole. I don't care what it is, but fix yourself.

And to answer the question: That guy should be grateful that he left with all his teeth, cause secu doesn't mess around. That's how wrong you are, and none of your entitled whining will change that.

With every sentence you write you manage to make yourself look more like an oceanic garbage patch of a human being.

I feel sorry for you that you seem to be absolutely unable to reflect your own behavior.

> You don't convince me.

Absolutely. I can't reason people out of positions they haven't reasoned them into.

Apart from that, your whole comment is so fantastically out of touch and anglo-centric, that it's actually quite funny:

None of your "abstain from politics", "Marxist ideology" sound bites will elicit a reaction from the target audience of the congress, except laughter and ridicule.

It just reads as your FOX News/QAnon consumption fried your brain and no one will take you seriously, except the pitiful "look at the American trying to impress with big words he doesn't understand".

I cannot put into words the confused state of your mind that let you produce this risible word salad, so I'll just link this reply here:

Congratulations, literally everything about this is wrong.

Not sure in what kind of fantasy world you live in, but get help. Maybe lay off your "supplements" for a bit.

My advice: Stop trying to get into fights with everyone, and no, the whole world isn't out there to get you.

I hope you learn to interact more positively and constructively with your surroundings.

Until then, please go away.

I wouldn't call this "fixed". It's more like the worse-is-better people won another round.

Realistically speaking, everything in C is undefined behaviour.

Imagine being such a regressive, that you believe you can other can write "correct C", despite decades of evidence of the opposite.

As someone else already mentioned, "your response is kind of harsh".

Why not try and be a bit more kind?

Why would it be slower?

Indexing may incur range checks, but iterators/combinators are pretty much destined to have them elided.

> Because in 2026, Dem will win back both congress and senate, it's just a normal pattern.

The parent's prediction is that there won't be a (free) election in 2026.

Hope that helps.

Loving it!

Perhaps macros shouldn't do things that aren't "obvious" then?

Exactly. ! for macros was a mistake anyway, I guess that's why they stopped using it with await.

You realize the syntax has changed more than that?

> could be tasked with the drudgery of intervening in naming disputes or managing an identity layer

That's why there are proposals that delegate the naming to outside systems with their own established dispute resolution rules.

This is due to the crates team requirement of "namespaces are not allowed to create additional work for the team".

So any proposal that makes them the naming authority is out from the get-go.

The GP made nothing more than a prediction about the future.

Let's let the future determine whether he was right or wrong, no need for squabbling.

> The developers have convinced themselves that they're right on this, having, I suppose, not learned from the hundreds of package managers that have come before them. They're wrong; full stop, no qualifications, no asterisk, no footnote, they are totally wrong on this and it is inevitable that their opinion will change.

A thousand times this.

Why are so many things in software three-steps-forward-two-steps-back?

Oh wow ... that guy ... is also doing this?

That certainly puts his participation in the namespacing debates into a new light.

I think what the GP wanted to say was along the lines of "look at _better_ approaches", not just "look at approaches".

> It isn't a case where you would need to be careful and knowledgeable to avoid it - there's just no reason to do it.

Then why does it compile?

> I’d argue Go didn’t ignore those things, it just made a different set of trade-offs than most people are used to or expect from a modern programming language.

You are wrong.

Would love to switch back to Firefox, but the general UX is just too terrible.

I also lack the trust that even if they fixed the major issues (or even allowed fixing them yourself) I would be able to rely on things working in the mid-to-long-term.

Currently holed up on Vivaldi, where the things you expect out of the box, are in fact working out of the box (vertical tabs, mouse gestures, ...).

"Dear Scala, I have found another whom I think the world of. I think the only way out is for us to get a divorce."

Plenty of people leaving these days, some quite publicly it seems.

Freetype has been superior to Microsoft's and Apple's implementation for years, with incremental improvements ever since.

One of the reasons I would never buy a Windows or macOS machine. These companies really need to sort out their quality issues with font rendering.
