Linux•Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance]
45·1 month agoDamn that 30 year old protocol for sneaking up on people.
Who is this 22%? I approve of hiding child abusers?
Yeah for steam in aarch64. Boo for snap.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•when you notice that the rm command takes longer to run than expected
1·2 months agoAt a previous job I remember a PR to do essentially
temp=$(mktemp -d) mv $target $temp rm -r $temp &
I thought it was pretty clever. Obviously you would need to make sure mktemp is on the same filesystem (there are good flags to just use a dot file in the current directory). mv is atomic on most filesystems and then the & just runs the rm in the background .

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?
1·3 months agoJust mac. That used to be a flex.
To be honest back in 1990 having a tui with arrow key navigation in a start up rom was pretty fucking advanced.
I watched the first 30 seconds and it was just explanation about knowing nothing about the subject. (Precious steam machines and the steam controller). It didn’t seem relevant to me.

Games@lemmy.world•After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'"English
1·3 months agoExclusives doesn’t mean distribution rights.
Also gaming is coming faster to arm than apple is going to switch back to x86_64. (But still not that fast)

38·3 months agoHard to imagine but back in the day it wasn’t up to your operating system to distribute software. They were just a platform and you had open choice to obtain software.
Apple showcasing what their hardware and software was capable of was normal. I don’t think this was negligent but maybe naive seeing how things are run now. It was much better and we got better products and competition.
Budgie was an apple developer before with Marathon which was exclusive not because of any distribution rights but just preference for the platform.
Alas money talks.
Technically yes. Very much so.
I used to work at FB a a while back (working on infra, not FE or anything user touching) and we would have private development servers and occasionally I would need to do work on the FE PHP repo (called www) and would need to stay a development server for FB.
It would connect ti the various services and database as read only and was a private copy. It functioned just like a real webswver with the exception that the cache was stone cold. It would takes MINUTES to load the front page the first time. It is crazy how much caching just makes it functional.
The problem is that there are so many services and datasets read all the time.

40·6 months agoWe have this already. It’s called dependant deduction.
In general, you are right. Once you explain to the borrow check you are doing the right thing then you have a fair level of confidence in it being right.
I think the point from the article is if it is worth it. Give the single sentence in the article about a list and pointer. There are various ways to do it safely (and ways to do it unsafely like you pointed out) and sometimes it might be ok to put the onus of that onto the developer and validated with valgrind, asans, and unit tests. For some this is far more enjoyable than worry about the borrow collector.
It’s all a trade off and it’s ok to have difference criteria when approaching a problem like a cli tool or even a business critical service. The problem becomes when Rust people claim that the borrow checker is the only way and we all roll our eyes.
