People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.

Traits are not inheritance. Box is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.

You need a .git folder at the root of your system.

Honestly just ActivityPub. And being backed by the W3C id assume there already are discussions in countries where corruption is less prevalent.

Public spaces should be government owned. Each country could have its own public servers with a guaranteed spot for every citizen. People can cross post.

If you want anonymity you can have private servers too.

Sounds like your gripe is with people requiring accounts for reading public content, and not with preventing usage of automated email creation and trying to limit bots on your website.

We were discussing validation, not parsing. There’s no parsing in an email. You might give it a type once it passes validation, but an email is just a string with an @ in it (and likely some . because you want at least 1 TLD but even that I’m not sure).

There are also cases where you want to have a disallow list of known bad email providers. That’s also part of the parsing and validating.

And if I’m being honest if the end game is Star Trek I’m fine with the stuff in between. It beats the end game being Warhammer 40k.

TBF in the Star Trek universe they also do get transparent aluminum earlier than stopping the wars.

Real talk; if Java didn’t have their head up their own arses, it would have been the real solution. But Oracle does what Oracle does.

Do not anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.

Jobs, whether or not he truly believed in that, gave the potential of web apps and HTML5 as the reason an App Store wasn’t needed. And definitely the reason Flash wasn’t needed.

Java, of course. /s

Tell them. Many people don’t know about FHS. Seriously, just the person I was answering to was giving credit to some rando who copy pasted an image from the Linux foundation.

I’ve been educating people on this all my professional life. I try to make a change with the people around me, but I’ve also filed big to some FOSS projects that got it wrong. Some did the change, some were unwilling. But it’s unknown if even those did follow the right convention in their next project.

The FHS was started in 1994 and is free to use. It should be used now by all major Linux systems and most Unix too.

The only credit is to the Linux Foundation.

Kind of what .env files are meant for. Not enough tools use them.

The Option type would have been a better example, and make it slightly less complicated.

Option is an enum with two variants; None and Some(T). You can chain Options with operations, describing a Monad chain, which is kind of what this meme represent.

Reticulating splines.

I don’t know how much of a gun it was. Apple has definitely been working on RCS support for a year; you don’t add that in a few months. Similarly I’m pretty sure Apple has been considering USB C in iPhone since at least when they started working on the USB C on iPad, which is what 5 years old?

Of course without pressure they would have probably be slower to move forward, and with Apple secrecy it’s always hard to tell how long things have been ready to ship. But let’s not pretend they just woke up this morning with a horse head in their bed and told their direction team to start working on this.
