Yeah, to my ESL ears man/woman are nouns, not adjectives, and using them as adjectives comes off as childish.

That said, “female X” can also sound clumsy, if it’s implied that a bare X is male, e.g. “politician” and “female politician”, vs male and female politician. There was a twitter account calling itself a “male programmer” which took the piss out of that trope.

I think I’ll stick to alacritty, but options are always fun

Yeah, I switched to deezer then, haven’t had any trouble with it.

Yeah, I’ve experienced that as well. A summer party is often nicer than a winter party too.

Depending on the country you might get some collision with midsummer celebrations though

You do sometimes have to worry about that weird g without the leg, though. But it’s normal to them, so they don’t guestion it. :^)

Nothing to be ashamed about! There’s lots of stuff around the world that some people love but the majority shy away from. All the rest of us can ask is that you enjoy it responsibly and don’t bother other people with the smell. :)

There are some more ways, usually involving fermentation. Us arctic types know some methods. But I get the impression rakfisk, lutefisk, hákarl, surströmming and kiviak would have caught on as exports by now if they were actually something humans in general were interested in eating, rather than the descendants of very specific kinds of desperate people.

Batteries seem to work fine in rural Norway. If you live somewhere warmer and/or with a bigger population or population density than Norway, you should be fine.

Boobies !!

You don’t really need the bird flu in that mix, even. Pasteurization was a huge public health win.

What next, fridges are woke nanny state inventions and real red-blooded Americans store all their food in room temperature, especially their raw milk and meat?

Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.

(It’s about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)

Good thing “oligarch” is just used when describing Russian conditions. That would neeeever happen here in the west.

I think my usecase of curl is entirely covered by hyper (I just use it for http/s with a small handful of flags); but I also have absolutely no idea what goes on inside curl or how my distro chooses to build it.

Rebuilding curl to use Rust here and there (it still supports rustls and quiche) seems like an interesting undertaking, but yeah, I suspect most curl users don’t build it themselves and have no idea what experimental features it could be built with. Guessing the curl survey has data for that.

Stenberg seems like a cool dude and this seems like an amicable split.

Idunno, that might be approaching “one day of patchy electricity can change how you view computers vs mechanical typewriters”. Here people would likely use their mobile internet, especially if the company is paying their phone bill.

It comes off as simulating enums with strings.

And yeah, even the string interpolation seems kind of excessive when it’s just appending _address. Js is even kinda infamous for how willing it is to do that with +.

Yeah, translating between cases isn’t exactly a problem IME. Might be neat to have a case-aware grep though, so you can get kebab-case, snake_case, camelCase and PascalCase all done in one go.

I’ve been using Fantasque sans mono for a bunch of years now.

I generally agree, but

1. People who haven’t used a package before likely aren’t interested in release candidates.
2. Axum is one of the few pretty well-known Rust libraries. I’m willing to give that a pass on describing what it is for an RC, much like I’d do the same for FastAPI in a Python community. (But a little default blurb about what they are would be nice anyway to people who are new to the language and/or ecosystem.)

Yeah, that’s the correctness focus. Some people dislike it as a straitjacket, some even take it as a personal insult because they see it as a skill issue. They, the good devs, shouldn’t be held back like that (spoiler: they aren’t as good as they think they are).

Personally I like that aspect of Rust, but I also write Python with a typechecker and a loong list of enabled lints in ruff. I can get the happy path done without it, but having just the happy path often isn’t good enough.

Enforced correctness helps a lot with confidence for those of us who know we sometimes make bad assumptions or forget some nuance or detail. But it will be absolutely infuriating for people who can’t stand being told they made an error, even one of omission.

Still remains to be seen if a potential rust ABI can avoid becoming a chain to the wall the way the C++ ABI seems to have become. When a lot of C++ers apparently agree with “I’m tired of paying for an ABI stability I’m not using” it’s not so clear it would really be a boon to Rust.

That said no_std appears to be what people go to for the lean Rust.

And a lot of us are happy not having to juggle shared dependencies, but instead having somewhat fat but self-contained binaries. It’s part of the draw of Go too; fat binaries come up as a way to avoid managing e.g. Python dependencies across OS-es. With Rust and Go you can build just one binary per architecture/libc and be done with it.
