"With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That's been the understanding," said Suleyman.

Ugh. Social contract, free use, freeware - those all mean very different things. I don't think the head of a department like that should be blabbing to the public if they're going to mix up terms like that. Do they not have PR and legal departments that are versed in anything beyond Microsoft's historical business methods (lie, steal, and fearmonger about open source)?

Not to mention that in some places, you cannot give up the IP rights over code you write.

Not to mention "fair use" is primarily for artistic endeavors.

Not to mention "freeware" is for programs, not written word blog posts or images.

What?

I will be holding the fifteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we began chapter 7 (Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules), and read up through section 7.3 (Paths for Referring to an item in the Module Tree). This time we will start at section 7.4 (Bringing Paths Into Scope with the use Keyword).

Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/8006138

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

(also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-07-01). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will be locally recorded, and uploaded afterwards to youtube (for now as well).

I will have on-screen:

  • the BU online version of The Book
  • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup, cargo, and clippy)
  • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
  • the live stream's chat

I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

Reading Club: The Book Chs 5 & 6 "Structs and Enums" [PROJECT] by Jayjader in c/learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 2 points 3 days ago

Bit of both, I suppose. Along with my own experience trying to deal with prototypes in JavaScript and how Python handles methods vs "bare" functions internally in terms of v-tables and "where" things exist in memory.

I imagine the fact that both of those are interpreted languages plays somewhat heavily into it.

With regards to being able to write MyStruct::my_method(&my_var), it's the one-two punch of "I can use that specific syntax to differentiate between 'inherited' methods that have the same name" and that the compiler doesn't treat .method() calls any differently and just rewrites them as such when doing it's job.

An important part of that process that needs mentioning is that when the mothers are convinced by Nestle to feed their babies formula instead of their breast milk, their bodies will stop producing the milk before the baby is weaned from it.

So Nestle literally endangers babies' lives just to sell more baby formula.

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I’m sure there are a bunch of patterns that emerge out of this (anyone with some wisdom here?) …

The classical one is something that looks like the following:

struct LoggedOut;
struct User {name: String};
struct Admin {name: String};

impl LoggedOut {
  fn login(self, name: String, password: String) -> User {
    User { name }
  }
  fn admin_login(self, name: String) -> Admin {
    Admin { name }
  }
}

impl User {
  fn log_out(self) -> LoggedOut {
    LoggedOut {}
  }
}

impl Admin {
  fn log_out(self) -> LoggedOut {
    LoggedOut {}
  }
}

fn fetch_user_preferences(user: User) { /*...*/ }

fn do_admin_action(admin_account: Admin) { /* ... */ }

fn main() {
  let mut user_session = LoggedOut {};
  /* (get user input) */
  match input {
    "login" => {
        user_session = user_session.login(name, password);
    }
    "admin" => {
       user_session = user_session.admin_login(name);
    }
  }
}

This would prevent you from writing code that uses the user's info / session "object" after they have logged out (and/or before they have logged in). On its own it's naive and a bit encumbering - I expect an enum would make more sense but then you can't restrict via types which user session values can and can't be passed to specific functions. In any case, when you are building a whole system around it it can be very useful to have the compiler enforcing these sorts of things "in the background".

This is basically what Gary Bernhardt is talking about in the talk you linked.

Reading Club: The Book Chs 5 & 6 "Structs and Enums" [PROJECT] by Jayjader in c/learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 2 points 6 days ago

I want to highlight one of the more subtle-yet-important clarifications made in these 2 chapters: associated functions vs methods, and how method calls are just syntactic sugar for function calls.

Unlike in many other languages, there is no formal distinction (e.g. via separate keywords) between methods vs constructors vs property getters. The first parameter as well as the return type determine if a given associated function is "actually" a constructor or a method (etc.).

Personally, I find this incredibly elegant; it's a form of "less is more" that gets out of my way when I'm coding while still allowing me to use all of the existing patterns that I know from elsewhere.

[Bouteille à la mer] Je cherche le nom - idéalement un scan - d'une BD mettant en scène Paris soudainement envahit par des plantes (jlai.lu)
submitted 1 month ago by Jayjader@jlai.lu to c/forumlibre@jlai.lu
5 comments fedilink

Comme l'indique le titre, je recherche une BD francophone dont la trame principale est l'invasion d'une ville par une plante qui pousse à une vitesse foudroyante. Il y a des fortes chances que la ville soit Paris, mais il se peut que ça soit une autre ville.

Autres détails dont je me souviens:

  • la plante en question ressemble surtout à des vignes ou lianes vertes (pas d'ecorce, pas de brun)
  • vers la fin on apprend que c'est une botaniste qui est à l'origine de la plante :
    • grosso merdo elle explique que la plante crèvera toute seule au bout de 2-3 jours en se désintégrant,
    • que les baies de cette plante sont comestibles par les éventuelles personnes coincées par les lianes,
    • et que le tout est censé être un acte radical de sensibilisation écologique infligé de force au reste du monde en mode "rappelez-vous que c'est la nature qui domine, pas l'Homme"

Ce dont je suis à moitié certain :

  • cette botaniste est la mère du protagoniste, un jeune garçon ado
  • la BD est parue dans les numéros d'une revue de jeunesse dans les années 200X/201X - type astrapi, okapi, j'ai lu, ou peut-être encore sciences et vie junior

Je l'ai lue en tant que gamin à sa sortie, et ça m'avait bien marqué. Il n'y a que récemment que je me suis rendu compte que c'était une belle pièce de propagande écoterroriste!

Du coup j'aimerai essayer de la relire, en l'analysant explicitement en tant que tel 😈

Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article) by Jayjader in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 46 points 1 month ago

Kinda disappointing.

The article is really trying to sell us, the reader, that using Linux without knowing how to use the command line is not only possible but totally feasible. Unfortunately, after each paragraph that expresses that sentiment we are treated to up to several paragraphs on how it's totally easier, faster, and more powerful to do things via thé command line, and hey did you know that more people like coding on Linux than windows? Did you know you can do more powerful things with bash, awk, and sed than you ever could in a file manager?!

FFS vim and nano are brought up and vim's "shortcuts" are praised... in an article on how you can totally use Linux through a gui and never need to open up the command line.

Who is this written for? outside of people who not only already use Linux but are convinced that using any other OS is both a moral failing and a form of self-harm?

There was a big storm around 2009 in the south west of France (where there are a lot of pine tree plantations); an entire generation of trees ended up looking like this.

Basically, strong continuous winds flatten very young trees without killing them. They then keep growing, with a permanent kink in trunk, near the base such as these. Not great for sawing into planks, but they work just fine to make paper and agglomerate.

It's incredible how resilient trees are!

What?

I will be holding the eighth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

This week we finish chapter 4: "Understanding Ownership" by reading through the "Ownership Recap (4.5).

Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/6353244

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

(also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-05-06). That's around 4 hours after this post is created. If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will simultaneously be recorded locally and uploaded afterwards to youtube (also, for now).

EDIT: here's the recording: https://youtu.be/3w7m5GM7eV8

I will have on-screen:

  • the BU online version of The Book
  • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup and through it cargo & "friends")
  • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
  • the live stream's chat

I will steadily progress through the chapter, both reading aloud the literal chapter text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

Who ?

You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.
