Sure, there were/are still some bits and pieces of hardware support missing, but the overall experience rivaled or exceeded what you could get on most x86 laptops.
But then also came the entitled users. This time, it wasn’t about stealing games, it was about features. “When is Thunderbolt coming?” “Asahi is useless to me until I can use monitors over USB-C” “The battery life sucks compared to macOS” (nobody ever complained when compared to x86 laptops…) “I can’t even check my CPU temperature” (yes, I seriously got that one).
Traditional server-based self-hosting will have lower average uptime, will be easier to attack, and will have a much higher chance of disappearing out of nowhere (bus factor event, or for any other reason).
A decentralized or distributed solution would make more sense as a suggestion here. Radicale (this one) is such an effort I'm aware of, although I never tried it myself or take a look at its architecture.
Pretends to rage-quit from contributing, not resigns.
Good riddance, unless they learn how to behave like well adjusted adults, instead of constantly playing to a microblogtard crowd. <= That's what would I have wrote if something relevant actually happened, which is not the case.
And this is coming from a Rustacean.
This more belongs to a "linux drama" community (if one exists).
A fanatic microblogger inflating some kernel drama, and inviting the microblog echo chamber and the whole internet gantry to chime in.. is surely worthy of being the hottest topic of the day.
Releasing a v1 would be misleading anyway, even if the language itself is ready for it (it isn't)..... because they use zig in their standard library 😉
I don't know what is it with new rustaceans and binary size, but many of them seem to be incessant on wasting time uselessly optimizing it, usually without actually understanding what they're doing, without gaining any relevant benefit, and possibly even causing relevant harm (e.g. degrading run-time performance for no good reason).
Fake info. It would be fake too if you made the opposite claim. Because such info is simply not available.
VLC being an MPlayer clone with better branding has been a running half-joke for decades.
The latest released version of VLC is not compatible with ffmpeg versions > 4.4 🤗. Some distros have actually considered dropping the package for that reason. Maybe some did, I don't know. But if the situation doesn't change, some definitely will.
And VLC 4, which those who still care for some reason have been waiting for it to be released for years, is centered around libplacebo, a library that was factored out of mpv 😎 .
I'm not emotionally charged against VLC or anything. In fact, I occasionally use it on Android. But what's stated above is just facts.
There is an example in the repository showcasing interop with Rust. But I didn't find it compelling enough for people to like. It felt a bit too complex. But maybe the complexity is inherent. I don't know.
As someone who doesn't know scripting languages well, what does make the snippet you posted particularly Ruby-ish?
Reading the guide, it felt like a relatively small consistent scripting language, with some Rustic touches. But I probably missed the touches from other languages I don't know.
But then, Rust itself took inspiration from many other languages, including Ruby itself. So, maybe everyone is taking from (or mimicking if you will) everyone.
BTW, that last part can be written as:
# from iterator import each, to_list
» square -> each (2,4,6,8) -> to_list
➝ [4, 16, 36, 64]
which maybe mimics some other functional or functional-influenced language(s).
I can't tell if we are miscommunicating here, or if my leg is being pulled.
You are not aware of staunchly anti-OOP (object oriented programming) people existing? Anti-OOP is a majority position now (always was in my circles). And the holdout proponents would usually only defend one (limited or revisionist) way of doing it, usually referring to some specific language implementation. Long gone is the quintessential list of OOP talking points presented in C++/Java classes in the 90's.
For people new to this, a quick search should lead to an endless stream of results. I found this one immediately which looks decent and covers good ground.
even if he wrote "half", he would still be wrong, and still suffering from multiple levels of dissonance.
