Speaking of convenient things best not handled manually, do you have any plans to get support for it into crates like sqlx-postgresql, diesel or humantime where conversions need to happen but pretty much the same way for every user of the library?

If the iPhone had been hyped like AI is today people would have claimed you could replace your hammer, saw, garden hose and cooking utensils with an iPhone.

Meanwhile current AI is pretty much useless for any purpose where you actually need to rely on a decent chance to get quality results without human review.

Is it really that hard to distinguish genuine revolutions (iPhone, Rust, AI, reusable rockets, etc.) from hyped nonsense (Blockchain/web3, Metaverse, etc.)?

It is funny that you list AI under genuine revolutions while I would list it (or at least 90% of it) under hyped nonsense.

From the perspective of a library author even evaluating if a given bug could be considered a vulnerability is extra effort that is not strictly useful to the project itself, just to those using it who want to not apply every single update.

I would say this very issue is at the core of the current CVE discussions that leads more and more projects to become their own CNAs.

Security people and corporate downstream consumers of security feeds want to invest the minimum of effort while pushing as much of the evaluation what is and isn’t a vulnerability on the authors of library authors as possible. However, this does not work. A vulnerability can only ever truly be evaluated by investing significant amounts of effort in the abstract way that is required to do it in an upstream project. On the other hand, at point of use it is often trivial to discard the possibility of an exploit because the potentially vulnerable code is not even used by the project using the library that contains the code.

Funnily enough the same is true for languages that have huge standard libraries. They put anything that is convenient to solve their immediate problem in there. That is how languages like Python end up with multiple of just about everything complicated in there.

As a sysadmin I have sadly encountered too many situations where a programmer thought “oh, this will never happen” to agree with you that a code construct that provides no information to the user should be used in such cases.

No, I actually meant it as in the traditional meaning of literally. As in

[lints.clippy]
unwrap_used = "warn"
expect_used = "warn"

along with a pre-commit hook that does

cargo clippy -D warnings

(deny warnings).

There are always better ways to write an unwrap, usually via pattern matching and handling the error cases properly, at the very least logging them.

There are a few very questionable things in there. Unwrap should literally never appear in production code so if your code base uses it so often that you want a short-hand syntax for it that calls into doubt everything else you wrote.

Der Wartungsaufwand um Python-Code zu installieren und auf neue Versionen hoch zu ziehen ist deutlich höher als bei Rust, einerseits für die Entwickler aber auch für die Admins.

, it’s there to efficiently move as many people as possible, as safely as possible.

So you are saying you are in favor of banning cars from the street too then?

Floorp does not track users and only blocks malicious tracking on websites. With Floorp you can build an internet that benefits both websites and users. Blocking only harmful trackers by listening to the opinions of both website owners who make a living from advertising and users who want to protect their privacy, why not use Floorp in finding a better internet?

This seems like a big no to me. Advertising these days usually means running scripts in the context of your websites so that inherently makes things less safe.

I am certainly less invested in huge budget games than ever. Maybe developers need to consider the kind of games they are making in a bit more detail than just by platform.

Oh, I meant searching for lists of celebrities with mixed heritage.

You might be able to find some more unique looks by searching for terms like mixed heritage, often children with unusual combinations of ethnicities also have facial features that are not often seen in the countries where the individual ethnicities are common.

The voice certainly has the “unbearably fake-friendly” tone down.

Also to advocate for a specific tab size while also advocating for hard tabs is nonsense. The one flimsy claim to usefulness tabs have is that different people can use different tab sizes and all at the low, low cost of everyone having five times more work to use tabs for indentations and spaces for alignment and thus having to use visual whitespace of some kind.

Of course politicians and rich people don’t want an educated population, those might actually notice who is exploiting them.

Also, Windows NT is no longer supported while the support for brains running autism has only grown over the last few years and no general end-of-life date has been announced for that support.

No, I am trying to argue that moderators are relevant long before any of that (discrimination based on race, religion, gender,…) even starts to matter.
