$700 for an N100 tablet? Yikes. I can’t imagine they would sell enough to stay in business.

I think syntax preference plays an enormous role in convincing people to even try it.

It was better in audio/video quality and being smaller, but not runtimes.

I have, I still don’t like it and I have tried several times to get used to it and I just can’t. I don’t see any problem in avoiding a language because of its syntax that is painful for me to look at all day.

Regardless of whether you think those reasons are subjectively bad or not, it is the current reality for many developers.

only three android versions behind for $500? sign me up /s

It’s wrong to force it. Most choices in history don’t end up with the best one being used. Beta was better than VHS for example. Rust people are very bad at convincing others to try it, and objectively many people just don’t want to or don’t like it for various reasons.

Personally I highly dislike the syntax. People like familiar things, and to me it’s just too different from C++.

If anything I think Swift will be an easier sell when the speed and cross-platform issues are solved.

FFI, bindgen/cbindgen, cxx/autocxx, zngr, cpp crate, diplomat, crubit

I thought Rust already had several different methods for interacting with C++? I’m not sure what actual roadblocks there are to developing KDE apps with it?

So blown out of proportion. Nobody is saying to stop using them. The report is more of a state of the union on software in secure systems and the talking points hinge on the most common type of vulnerability seen in large scale attacks: memory safety.

The report (which apparently barely anyone is reading) mentions C/C++ aren’t memory safe (truth) and with specific respect to space flight, alternatives such as Rust haven’t been proven yet. Both languages meet other important criteria (again specific to space flight) but it then immediately states afterwards that until other languages can be qualified, other means of ensuring memory safety are recommended such as hardware. The report makes other mentions. It’s a good read but is not a directive like media is making it.

We know… but people do not all use the same definition of that word.

What do you mean by “isn’t an issue”? You still need a dedicated GPU for the VM.

There are indeed many applications and games that still don’t run under wine for all different kinds of reasons. And the windows-on-linux virtualized GPU solutions for VMs are still not mature enough to work for many apps, so unfortunately for those people, their only choice is a physical GPU passthrough VM.

Why do you think that?

LOL so it’s completely made up then, as I thought.

nope

Do you have a source for that claim? And what state-controlled VPN services?

Source?

China bans encryption

Most confidently wrong statement I have read all year.

nope I had it bookmarked

The burden of proof lies upon the person making empirically unfalsifiable claims.
