@freemo Would love to read about this in a little more detail.

@freemo @fourmajor Search is pretty wonky in my experience. If I search for "Hector Martin" I get the right match.

@tarek@social.sdf.org I switched in 2015 to emacs+evil after 20+ years of vi/vile/vim. I would say if you want to learn a new language (elisp) and a new editor, and don't mind a hobby for a few years as you go down the rabbit hole, and you like to customize your editing experience (likely endlessly), then you might be a good candidate for emacs. I recommend evil, so you don't lose your muscle memory, and can use vim/neovim in a pinch.

@Floyd It's a gold fish shaped ham

@SpinozasHeresy To be honest, from a black person's point of view, not "being ok with white people" is perfectly reasonable considering what has been done to them historically as a group, and rather mild at that.

Looking at that video, I have to say, Scott Adams equating "not being ok with" to "is a hate group", which is the dumbest thing I've heard this year. What an asshat.

@kreyren I'm not sure I see the whole picture, but honestly the developers seem reasonable from what I read.

BTW,If you are recreating a branch via cherry picking, you should use git rebase --onto instead, it's conceptually the same but far less pain for you. See https://matthew-brett.github.io/pydagogue/rebase_without_tears.html.
This usually turns conflict hell into "ok rebased", or at least a lot less to fix.

@deech Wasn’t that The X-Files?

@pwinn @mekkaokereke hachyderm is no longer limiting qoto but there seems to be a bug that continues to restrict following. You can look it on their GitHub issues. I’m in my phone otherwise I would give a link.

@zxg Such a deep analysis!

@nuncio @AstraKernel Yeah I don't think it is _intentionally_ hard to understand, everything is there for a reason. It's goals of performance and memory safety are hard to achieve without the mechanisms it has. On the other hand, I think they could have made it a bit less noisy syntactically.

@AstraKernel I will look at this site when I am sober. Right now, after a day writing C++ and interviewing for a programmer in same, it is speaking to me. I am pretty sure it is just the alcohol having its way with me. But it is seems correct in so many ways....

@no0ob@infosec.exchange It's my understanding that firefox is at 10% because Mozilla let most of the rust team go. I'm guessing that's (a good part of) the reason why.

I'm also kind of perplexed by the idea that there's some sort of "artistic vision" in play. Clearly there's an ideology of memory safety, but I would never argue that is about art, and it's truly a good and practical thing.

As a C++ embedded programmer, I can say that most embedded codebases I've seen do not use exceptions at all, and I might add thankfully, as it makes the exceptional path explicit and easier to reason about. The code ends up being a lot of "if" conditional error handling early returns to avoid the exceptional cases. In development assertions are used to find problem areas during testing. Rust might make this kind of code easier to read to be honest, if the ? operator can be used in these cases.

I haven't tried any graph work with Rust yet, so you may be right about that.

@jbowen @Mara Same energy

@dpiponi Can I subscribe to your newsletter? I want free wine.

@carnage4life I usually miss slack more than email especially when a email turns into a conversation. It's just painful.

@BigEatie @akib emacs has crashed on me multiple times. I3wm never that I recall. Also emacs freezes up quite a bit more often which I usually solve by killing it.
