@sesivany Some would argue that you're making bets on Elon's stuff that isn't publicly traded, like SpaceX.
Others argue that you're betting on future returns.
Others just believe Elon is some kind of wizard but I doubt he's involved much in the day-to-day at TSLA anyway. Some people don't even realize that he was not the founder.
A big announcement:
#MapComplete is now available as #Android app on the #Google #Playstore
Grab your copy here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
(If you don't like google, the Android version is alson available on #FDroid: f-droid.org/en/packages/org.ma…
Or you can use the web version on mapcomplete.org)

Thematic, editable maps based on OpenStreetMapf-droid.org
@jandi @lokjo We both contribute to OpenStreetMap. MapComplete got a part of it's inspiration from StreetComplete, but we have a different philosphy: MapComplete has multiple maps about a single topic, where the data on the map can be edited.
StreetComplete mostly allows to answer quests on the go (but the 'overlays'-feature is quite close to this concept)

chrome developers: we are thinking of dropping support for rendering RSS feeds as something other than garbage code. does anyone have any reasons not to do this?
developers from many different backgrounds: yes, I rely on normal people being able to understand RSS for my business. dropping support will be disastrous for me because I can't rely on people to have some random extension installed.
chrome devs: OK well we're probably going to do it anyway because we can't be bothered to support web standards. uwu google is only a teensy wee company uwu

reshared this
Saw you in there getting your comments hidden while telling good history. Thanks for that. Hiding replies definitely is having a streisand effect there
@jonny sadly it won't matter. Google has a stranglehold on the WHATWG, Mozilla is subservient and guided by people who couldn't care less about its users (see them shoving AI everywhere), and Apple is happy to follow suit as well.
We'd need someone truly independent of GAFAM on the WHATWG that could block the process.
GNOME reshared this.
In my experience, it has terrible code generation.
Case in point, I once looked at the assembly it generated for zeroing a statically sized array of POD types, and it was amazing how overcomplicated it was.
There is enough information at the AST level to branch on types and simplify the code gen in cases like that from my understanding of how things work.
This is just one example, so take it for what it's worth.
I used to use #OCaml quite a bit, though that was a number of years ago, and I use #Rust a lot now.
One of my main gripes about OCaml is how it wasn't very practical in some ways. There was no way to open a file read/write (very common for, say, databases), and because it lacked things like Haskel's typeclasses or Rust's traits, you'd use different functions to seek on a file opened for input vs. one for output.
Looks like it's still the same.
But I absolutely agree on compile times. I don't know how long Rust would take to compile something on 2005 hardware but it's probably not pretty 🙂
Rust, OCaml, and Haskell all share a common lineage in their type system. Perhaps that's why I've enjoyed all of them. It's also interesting that they are such different languages but with some things in common.
There is something really elegant about #Haskell, and its isolation of "pure" functions (which can't perform I/O) from impure functions, as well as general data immutability, make for nice designs that are easy to reason about, and excellent recursion handling also feeds into that.
That said, memory usage in Haskell can be hard to reason about, and Rust gives some of those guarantees with its "mut" keyword.
I do a lot of systems programming, so would mostly go for Rust these days.

@ltning basically once the next LTS release is out they start charging you for access to a repo that keeps publishing package security updates
That's my understanding of it anyway
FreeBSD ports tree does break compatibility with old releases when needed, but it doesn't really happen all that often and if you really needed to it's trivial to backport the updates yourself to your branch of the ports tree and get working, updated packages.
Also upgrading between major releases is significantly less disruptive anyway, soooo.... it's not hard to upgrade
