Oh, and also, all the information in your CV that you also painstakingly rewrote into our forms, is going to be spread around to other companies who will use it to send you spam and phishing messages.

Good luck with your future endeavours of staying sane with others trying to get money out of you, that you don't have.

I'm not sure if I am suggesting anything.
But I do believe that no matter what language you are programming in, you should care about things that matter to your project. Whether it be memory safety, access security or anything else.
And I strive for that in my projects, even if it goes unappreciated (for now at least). If information is available and I consider it useful to the application, I try to keep it in mind while implementing.

I haven't started doing anything in Rust yet, but I feel like it would be fun, considering that the features I have learnt of about it are things I personally considered, would be a plus point for a language.

Damn reasonable people pushing back the Nuclear Apocalypse, the Global Heating Armageddon, return to Dark Ages and all such major fun events/s.

Reading this thread, I kinda feel weird.

When I was a child, I use to take tablets for headache (no idea which ones. I was a child.) and almost every time, the headache came back more intense than before, when the effect wore off.

Later, I started understanding that headaches (and other pains) happen for a reason and it is better to find out the reason and fix it, than just turn off the alarm.

So now, even if I get hurt due to something, I say no to pain relievers. This has even saved me from re-injuring a previous injury a few times.

  • Sprained ankle / back pain : exercise and yoga.
  • Cramps from exercise: next time do proper stretching after exercise.
  • menstruation: I have no idea. never had that. sorry. But I can say for sure, people around me don't tend to resort to taking pills all the time. Even those that have it hard.
  • broke a ligament: definitely don't take a pill, or you won't realise if you are about to break it again.

Over here, pain management pills seems more like a last resort and not to be used for something that happens regularly. So, reading about it being treated like cereal, feels pretty weird.

It is not that Rust results in fewer bugs than C++ generally, it is that Google engineers have not been properly trained or motivated.

Why can't you believe that "these people" believe in both?
Though the "trained" part doesn't make as much sense as the "motivated" part.

Your reply came out as, one that was trying to refute the claim of some anti-Rust comment. Which the previous comment was not.

The way Rust works, clearly shows that it was developed by people who cared about those things.

And just because something happened in my bubble, doesn't directly prove it to not be happening anywhere else, just because it doesn't prove otherwise.

, that the world would need. Or the industry adopts Rust (or a similar language) and have lot of security by default for free

I can see you didn't care to understand the example I gave. Rust wouldn't have fixed the problem that happened in my bubble.

I can also see, you somehow think I am against Rust, just because I am for people caring about what they write.

are questioning reports from Google

No. I am interpreting the single number 52%, that came out of the report from Google, without caring about the meaning about the metric.
And that's what is causing you to not like what I wrote.
It's almost as if it is important to care about the context of what you are writing into. See what I did there?

This is absolute gold.

I’m glad you think so! Are you planning to make it soon?

 

Relevant Article: Asian News International sues Wikipedia for "Defamation" and Archived version

Apparently, Delhi High Court asked Wikipedia to disclose information about editors of said article, which made some controversial edits on the Wikipedia ANI page.

The article states that Wikipedia failed to provide said information.

From the article

Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.

“It is not a question of the defendant not being an entity in India. We will close your business transactions here," the judge said in a stark warning.

ANI asks for removal of said "controversial" edits and wants ₹20000000, ~$240k from Wikipedia.


Archived original article


From the related article:

2022-10-10: Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers of India filed petitions to the Supreme Court, saying that an article on Wikipedia about them, as defamatory. To that, the bench said, "You can edit the Wikipedia article..." and that they could use "any other remedy available to them".


Additional information from me:

  • IP Addresses of people in Talk and the times of edit are available freely on the Wikipedia page.
  • Wikipedia SHOULD NOT be expected to have the ability to trace people on the internet any more than that.
 

I came across a stackexchange thread asking if system root access will be required to be given to the user.

And the answer explaining the license and saying they needed to let the user be able to swap the libs on the system somehow.

And because I just joined the community and can't comment there, here I am.

I feel like, the seller doesn't really need to give root access to the user as long as they allow the user to copy said proprietary software on another system (and this act not be restricted by the license) and then do whatever they feel like, as long as the original system is immutated.

Thoughts?

Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

Shows how to opt-out

At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?
