Between capabilities, namespaces, control groups, mandatory access control (AppArmor etc) and other mechanisms, I think there are plenty of ways to reduce user access to any part of the system.

I love the excitement of using !?

Did I remember correctly what command sequence I last used that pattern with? Will my data be gone? Will I send a vulgar email to my boss? Who knows, let’s find out!

The quote “brimming over with wrongability” comes to mind.

To me, it is mostly a real blocker for using it in some embedded Linux devices due to size constraints, otherwise I personally would be using it extensively.

Rust does not have an ABI. Everything is linked into the executables. I would not call them lightweight.

I, too, was born in Septulyber.

Ours tried to explain to project leaders that employees are not mostly interested in their salary, but in praise. That went over well.

some would try to appear “we are family” to retain employees

Nope. Rule of acquisition 111. They claim that everyone is part of a happy family because family is easiest to exploit.

\n, because I ordered a newline, not a flush.

I think it was voice activated.

Well it is sound activated, it flushes when it detects the “aaaaaaaaaah” sound of relief after refuse vacation has completed.

If there is no such sound, obviously your work is not done, and there is no need to flush.

As a long time C/C++ developer, I think it has a lot of really great ideas. The one thing preventing me from using it a lot more is that there is no stable ABI that would allow to use shared libraries in Rust - everything is statically linked, and if I use the same crates in a number of programs, the same code exists in each of these programs. That is not really a good thing whne you try to develop for a system with very limited space and where program load times make a difference, such as for certain embedded platforms.

But honestly, Rust support in the Linux kernel? Java never got that far, nor any other language (apart from C, obviously).

To be honest, wireless support in Windows has been shite, too. Terrible, unusable junk. Difference is that Linux has improved 🙃

STOP DOING C++

• Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
• “Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

If you’re already working 40 hours a week, focusing on stuff out of hours is going to be hard. I know this all too well!

I was thinking more along the lines of ‘nightshift’. 😀

There are a lot of jobs that require out of hours support, specifically those that aren’t tied to business hours. In tech at least, many of the sites and services you use are built off the backs of software engineers that are paged at 5am because latency is a little higher than normal.

There is a very easy solution to this dilemma: pay someone to stand ready at off-hours.

They are still using Reddit, so one has to wonder if they have not abandoned sanity and intellect a long time ago.

It is incredible to me how some people think they make themselves look smart by wearing their willful ignorance like a crown.

Good idea, giving Microsoft control over every single open source project. I mean, what could go wrong, right?
