I’d say Rust is definitely mainstream. Obviously not the level of JS or Python, but it’s being used all over the place. All FAANG companies, the Linux kernel, JS runtimes, web browsers, Android, Signal, Mullvad…

IMO GC has nothing to do with high or low level. It’s just incidental that there’s a correlation. In GC you usually don’t need to think about manually allocating or deallocating memory or truly understand what pointers are (in some ways anyway). In C / C++ you do.

In Rust you almost never manually allocate or deallocate, and you have both very high and low level APIs.

I’d say Rust is both high and low level. It just depends what you use it for. If you want to build a CLI or a web server, it’s great for that. If you want to do kernel stuff and choose to flip bits around you can do that too.

As for books, maybe you’d like trying Rustlings instead.

…why do you think Twitter had anything to do with getting Musk into the White House?

1. Rust is the best language for writing WASM in, so you can write Rust and run it in the browser without transpiling to JS.
2. Rust isn’t just about speed or GC pauses. Its type system is amazing and allows you to encode things that you cannot in any other mainstream language.
3. It’s so incredibly well designed, it fewla like that clip from Ricky and Morty where Morty feels what standing on a truly even plane feels like then has a panic attack when he leaves. Rust rethought everything from scratch, and isn’t just some new syntax or fancy compiler tricks. No null, no exceptions, no inheritance, new typing capabilities, etc.

Go made some pretty poor design choices, and now even Google is choosing Rust for a lot of stuff instead.

Not sure, I’ve been looking at Graphene myself but haven’t used it. Just passing on what I’ve seen.

Custom ROMs are all different. Some suck, some don’t. I’ve heard very good things about Graphene. You can even install it from the web in a couple clicks.

Google Pixel + GrapheneOS

Also, if you think Apple’s completely closed source software is more trustworthy than Google’s mostly open source software… LOL

Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.

Isn’t that assuming you have access to doing arbitrary SQL queries on the database? Then you’d by definition have access to records you shouldn’t.

Just curious, but if SSNs were not recycled after death, would there be any reason not to use them as a primary key?

Take a look at Rust. It’s what I’d call an exceptionally well defined language.

How do code reviews work with contractors? Is it just “you don’t get paid until we approve it”?

Top pic is a Mutex and bottom is lock-free concurrency.

You can do that but only under paid accounts.

What’s insecure about them?

Hard disagree. I don’t understand why anyone would want case insensitive.

Am I the only one who doesn’t go around mindlessly capitalizing letters? Do people find it too difficult to capitalize things?

Do you want case insensitive passwords too?

If I type X I mean X and only X. Uppercase letters are different letters, just like X and Y are different letters.

Andy Yen is a right-wing Libertarian that have no idea what he’s talking about.

That’s enough for me to leave. Add on to the fact that Proton has been severely mismanaged since its inception. He’d rather prioritize crypto wallets and shoving AI into email than getting basic shit working.

I just moved away from Proton to Posteo for mail and calendar and Addy.io for email aliases.

Why does it say $54K for me?

Humans are vulnerable to propaganda. Lemmy’s architecture is against censorship. This helps to push back against propaganda, but only so much. But at least not being censored is a big win IMO.

They literally said “most”, which is not “always”.
