It also seems like English changing the letter J from a /j/ sound to a /dzj/ sound didn't help, going by how “Iacobus” became Jacob somewhere down that line.

jimjam5 wouldn't mind the name Saint Jim?

I feel you're biased 😋

It's wild that the name Diego becomes James in English!

I would've thought of Daniel or something but no, JAMES

Ah, yeah okay, good to know!

My 3D experience went swimmingly on my N3DS 😅

To add to @ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today

The uutils are MIT licensed, simply put it means “do whatever you want with it, as long as you credit us”.
The coreutils are GPL, simply put “do whatever you want with it but only in other GPL works, also credit us”.

The coreutils make sure forks will also be open source.
While the uutils aren't closed source, they do allow you to make closed source forks.

The uutils' license is too permissive.

I don't mind using it for larger teams, it can be great for organised communication such as dev teams!

But it shouldn't replace documentation.

(Also, Discord itself is a proprietary, censoring telemetry wasp nest, your FOSS dev team shouldn't be organised in it but Matrix, XMPP, IRC channels or something else open.)

Makes me think we need a European cartoon template for this! I could see what I can find/make, as well!

Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base.

Mainly memory safety; split (which is also used for other programs like sort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one. The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.

That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don't really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
