  • Wait, is she saying a bunch of illegal immigrants voted for Trump?

  • 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.

    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.

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

  • 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?

  • Why do people faint at the sight of plain-text code?

    Jump

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

  • I'm guessing that a lot of people who grow up under communist governments have learned that what the government says is bullshit and they should trust what random people say more, since they don't have the ability to do research online and have access to free, uncensored information.

    Then they go to a democracy and continue the pattern.

    No idea though.
