  • [AI] vutuv - a Fediverse alternative to LinkedIn

    Jump

  • I feel like that's an unnecessarily narrow view of what the fediverse can be. The fediverse is not only for any single particular social networking use case, like micro-blogging (Mastodon) or forums (Lemmy, Pyfed etc). It can be much more than that, and all of it at the same time. There's no reason why the fediverse should restrict itself to only certain social media use cases.

  • Not sure I understand - you think some of those things don't belong on the fediverse? What do you mean "one or the other"?

  • I know we love to hate on LinkedIn, but honestly there are plenty of reasons to want social features about employers and jobs. Reviews, salary discussions, union organization and all such stuff that employees could leverage against employers, for instance.

    Of course that's not what LinkedIn is largely used for because it's full of employers trying to brand themselves or influencers trying to make an image for themselves. But it could be different, I think.

  • but i assume the sheer amount of images/video takes up a lot of space

    You can adjust settings in Lemmy to not store other instances media like this, so this shouldn't be a big problem with the right config.

  • I'm not really sure what you're asking. Or I guess I mean, it's a very broad question. Just start a project and get learning.

  • Scenarios in gambling are rarely "purely random". I.e. the likelyhood of winning in poker depends on what you already got dealt and what other cards got dealt and so on. What does "purely random" even mean? Like a lottery with equal chance of winning for all participants? Yea that's gambling but just one kind of gambling.

  • working on a project where memory safety isn’t that important

    I can't really imagine anything where this is not the case, unless you're doing like... I dunno, small scripts for personal use or something? But why would you use Zig or C or even Rust for that, just do Python or even bash at that point? Python is memory safe and perfectly suitable for very small programs where static analysis gives little benefit.

  • ReleaseSafe which have runtime checks to prevent illegal behavior

    To prevent some illegal behaviour. Again, I'm not an expert on Zig, but as far as I understand, even Release"Safe" is not actually memory safe.

    Jump

  • Saying that "memory safety is checked by tests" is basically saying "memory safety is not checked". Yes, you can write tests. How do you know the tests cover all cases? How do you know the tests aren't buggy?

    Also, what about memory safety across threads? Are you testing multi-threaded scenarios? Are you ensuring you have no data races?

    I also don't understand how this is an argument for Zig over C. You can also test memory safety of your C code via various means, but it's never a guarantee. Zig is the same. So again, it seems a bit more pointless to go from C to Zig. Going from C to Rust brings actual tangible guarantees of memory safety (outside of any unsafe usage, obviously).

  • rust does a great job, however there are some inconsistentcies where a lot of memory allocations can throw out of memory errors that will crash the app

    That is not an "inconsistency". Crashing the application when you run out of memory is honestly in almost all cases the correct call and crashing is memory safe. Most applications can do absolutely nothing when running out of memory. "Handling" OOM is extremely complicated and most applications simply cannot handle it in any way.

    Of course low level stuff needs to sometimes actually handle this, but it's mostly an operating system thing. And Rust still allows you that control, it's just not the default behavior of the collections and such in the standard library, because again, it almost never makes sense to try to handle OOM. But if you really need that behavior, you can have it.

  • Agreed that it makes the transition from C easier, but I'd also say it makes the transition from C more pointless. I don't really know that much about Zig but from what I've heard, I don't really get the benefits - if you want a fast systems-level language without guard rails, why aren't you just writing C (or C++, if that's your thing)?

  • crates.io front-end and its accessiblity issue(s)

    Jump

  • Generally agree with the takes here and similarly befuddled that an unofficial site like lib.rs seems to be entirely better in almost every way than the official site. It's a bit disappointing.

    I've unfortunately seen first hand the stubbornness of some developers on the Rust project when I tried to contribute a minor thing myself. I perhaps just had a bad unlucky experience, but it turned me off from ever contributing again.

  • it becomes possible to discover parts of the website that exist but you can’t access.

    This doesn't really apply as a concept to crates.io though, as all crates on the site are public. It seems kinda like security theater to be doing these 403s when all the data is public anyway. GitHub doing this makes sense as there are private repos.

  • A code viewer for the actual uploaded code is much appreciated. The upcoming diff view sounds really useful too.
