Because he's not spending $43bn on some infrastructure, but for the >200mn daily users. That's $210 for every user.

Not that I think it would make the point of having a bright new kernel easily compete with such a huge and firmly grounded project as Linux though.

All the more, there already are multiple projects using Rust to build OSes out there, if I'm not mistaken.

You clearly have an axe to grind moreso than an actual point. In this community, if you declare someone as a liar, you generally have to provide some proof of that. This isn’t a « my feelings » community.

Twitter is literally ruining the world. Donald Trump was elected because of it. I’m sorry, but Twitter could not get any worse. I fully support the purchase. Anyone who’s actually watching what’s going on do, too. You’re just going to have to deal with it, albeit, while spewing fear mongering pretending to be concern. Reductive childlike reasoning might work on Hasan’s millionaire stream, but not in reality.
I agree with the UI stuff and soft deletes. It was a lesson I learned about 7 years ago when I had users make some tragic mistakes in a system I made. “Are you sure?” doesn’t do anything more than a hand wave CYA. Showing the consequences does.

But then this starts sounding like a guy who went to the same bank for 30 years, knows the tellers, and doesn’t understand why they won’t give him a small business loan.

If you started a company, rely on GitHub for core infrastructure, why would you not pay for it? And if you did this, why would you expect them to do support outside of self-service? Open Source doesn’t mean charity-worthy anymore. Most “successful” projects are either spun out of or spearheaded by a business these days. And it’s not like GitHub is rolling in profit. Their enterprise offering is just starting to get traction under MS.

I think the complaints would be more valid if they were outside of the norms in this space. GitHub + MS is still 1000x less shady than Sourceforge. I don’t think you’d see different behavior from GitLab et al.

To the real politik-like view: this experience won’t make you (or many others) move elsewhere or pay for the service. So it’s ultimately a 0 consequence situation outside of a blog post and some community discussion.

I’m general, I don’t love pieces of software or companies. I’ll wear free t-shirts to mow the lawn, not with pride. I don’t love GitHub, but I dislike it less than the alternatives, partly because it’s just the easiest. I think most are in that camp. Oktocat lost his street cred long ago.

In the early years, some of Putin's speeches almost seemed liberal, and yet now, looking back, it is possible to see the imperial signature in his speeches, in particular, how his logic might lead to the erasure of an entire people. He initially emphasized a kind of multiculturalism, but now it seems to be the multiculturalism of an all-conquering empire, the kind of multiculturalism we sort of saw with the Roman Empire, not a multiculturalism that respects the independence of others, but a multiculturalism that feels that all cultures are fungible enough that the army will eventually bring all of them under control.

Still, it is possible that Putin really was, at one point, a bit more sympathetic to a multicultural point of view. It's possible that he's gone insane over the last 10 years. Consider how he sounded in 2012:

-----------------

Putin’s final major address as prime minister to parliament in April 2012 hammered home this point – the dangers of dividing and thus destroying. It came in the form of an answer to a suggestion from a member of the Russian Duma that the preamble to the Russian constitution be changed from beginning with “We the multinational people [narod] of Russia,” to “We the [ethnic] Russian [russkiy] people and the people who have joined with it.” Putin retorted:

Do you understand what we would do [if we did that]? Part of our society would consist of first class people and part would be second class. We must not do that if you and I want to have a strong single [yedinaya] nation, a single people [narod], if we want each person who lives on the territory of the country to feel that this is their homeland, and that there is no other homeland, nor can there be one. And if we want each person to feel like that, then we have to be equal. This is the principle question. The fact that the [ethnic] Russian [russkiy] people are – without a doubt – the backbone, the fundament, the cement of the multinational Russian [rossiyskiy] people cannot be questioned….But to divide everyone up into first, second, third categories, you know, this is a very dangerous path. You and I, all of us, must not do this.

Of course, they would certainly review any updates to vendored code. Just because most companies are too lazy to audit their dependencies doesn't mean the kernel needs to be.

As for syscalls, Rust has a whole ecosystem of no_std crates for kernel and microcontroller development that already assume the lack of an OS. We use (and contribute to) such crates extensively in our product (which is already developed jointly with the Linux Foundation, though we're not working on the Linux kernel (well we are a little bit, but all of that work is still in C :P )) and can vouch for their quality.
> Contrast this with Russia, who invaded a state in which many Russians live, for concrete matters of national security.

You mean for concrete matters of national chauvanism? It's amazing to still see people spreading this misinformation even after Russia accidentally broadcast its real motives to the world:

> Mr Akopov justifies the "virtual civil war" as "Russia restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together".
There is a difference between using UI tweaks (color/size/motion) to call out information, and actually displaying that information.

Right? As in, "this will affect 0 stars" vs "this will affect 54,000 stars" is an informational difference. Calling out "this will affect all stars" (without specifying a number) doesn't break a user out of doing it to the wrong repo, since that message is the same in both cases.
That doesn’t solve the problem, just moves the chain of trust.
> "the world Mr Putin desires would be far more decadent, self-serving and amoral than the one that exists today."

That's true but that's just a pretty basic observation, the thing that the article seems to want to say most of all is that the rest of the world outside of a relatively small minority portion in the 'West' is either supportive of Russia or ambivalent and I don't see the support for that thesis.

See the part that starts with:

"In Mr Putin’s world, where might makes right, today’s lack of support is proof of Western decline."

> Weird justification for missing an extremely central and extraordinarily important feature

Can you think of any reason why decoupling it from the language itself would be a good idea? Why does it need to be baked in, and what problems would arise if it was? How do these problems trade off against having people just run “cargo add rand”?
That sounds eerily like censorship.
This is exactly what you start doing on Github too, since many repo operations require you to do it. Seeing this warning modal where you have to copy-paste some string is what you expect when clicking delete/make private/make public. I don't know if it really helps.
They are problem in the sense that the address of the pointer gets exposed. After you lose track of who has it and who might do what with it, you can't track the aliasing information of the pointer, so you have to suppress some optimizations. But you are correct in the sense that if int2ptr never happens, it's all good.

About side effects: we are not talking about having side effects on hardware level, we are talking about side effects from the compiler's viewpoint. Again, the compiler might track aliasing information for optimizations, and casting has the side effect of "exposing" the pointer.
Sharpies don't stick too well to slick plastic. Black nail polish is much more effective. Black hot glue also looks nice.
I would observe that even today, the GH desktop repo has only 14k stars, and at the time, archive.org says only 2.6k[1] - so I would not be surprised if the costs associated with the restore were massively different.

(Not weighing in on whether they still should have considered it or not, just observing that their claim that it costs an unacceptable amount may not be inconsistent with having restored a much less comparatively "hot" repo.)

My country is only a hundred years old and started as nothing but farmers fighting for independence. We're not just "rich" - we organized ourselves exceptionally efficiently and gained wealth from doing so, even while paying war reparations to Russia and investing massively into the unbelievably generous social safety net we still enjoy today.

Literally any peoples around the Earth can do it, if they really want to.

That feeling of "really want to" is enshrined in the Finnish language as "sisu", "described as stoic determination, tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience, and hardiness."
Misogyny!

But seriously. This is common behavior among competitive animals.

Male Lions have to seek out a new pride.

Don’t even begin to talk about birds who the male or the species need to do all kinds of expensive preening.

Male Monkeys commonly get thrown out of the troop.

Males (including human males) generally have a completely and substantially different life than females.

That’s why I laugh at the common modern trope that we are the same.

Animals are just more honest about it.
That sounds illegal and awaiting lawsuit to me, device connecting to unsecured network by itself without my knowledge doing there whoever knows.

Imagine my neighbor has unsecured WiFi network set for himself, I'm pretty sure he could call police on anyone connected to his network abusing his connection just because it's not locked.

By this logic you can steal unlocked car with key in engine or unlocked bike and that's what these TV would be doing.

You would be probably excused if TV done by itself, but it would land the brand lot of negative publicity and you could try to reimburse defense lawyer expenses on them. They would probably argue you agreed with terms of service when first launching TV, so don't do that if you want dumb TV.
So, firstly the editions system means it doesn't even matter about crates using a different edition. Remember that await variable in the Rust 1.0 code above? My Rust 2021 code can still talk about that variable, even though it's from a different edition and the word "await" is now a keyword, it just calls that variable r#await meaning "the identifier named await" - which is a bit ugly but gets the job done for interoperability purposes.

But also, all previous versions of published crates are kept indefinitely. If Linux wants serde v1.0.240 then that's fine, even if subsequently serde shipped v1.0.241, v1.1.14 and v2.0.1 the repository holds on to everything.
Some people won't understand you. For them you're the only one to blame.

You've said it all : some things are clearly bad (over-drinking, being violent, etc) some are good (virtues etc) and the vast majority of things like laundry are not even worthy of debate.

If you change your self little by little for someone else, especially if it's a one-way thing, you'll end up miserable.

What happens today when a kernel module has to be removed due to a critical CVE or court order?

That's not just a rhetorical flourish, I'm actually curious what the answer is. As far as I know, (1) it almost never happens and (2) when it does, the change is made in upstream repos and as a practical matter, everyone downloads those changes and their up-to-date local copies lose that code.
I have been browsing /r/all for years, but I aggressively filter subreddits out that hold no interest for me. It allows /r/all to be semi-curated content for me, while I still will see something that breaks containment from the niche subreddits.

I flat out disagree with every single point you make. Not to dismiss your own experience, disregard what you are saying, or be snide or whatever, but:

1. I met my new manager (switched jobs) for the first time over MS Teams in a personally challenging time; I needed to take care of my family the second week after starting a new job. I worried a lot over this, which was met with incredible kindness and empathy.

2. I've started several serendipitous, fruitful collaborations by expansion of offhanded questions or remarks in remote meetings.

3. My mental and physical health is better than pre pandemic because of less commute, more leniency to take a walk or bike a bit, lower stress around picking up kids, being able to cook my own food instead of relying on (potentially unhealthy) cafeteria
Imagine if Russia started supplying weapons to Mexicans "to support their revolution against their $BAD government" or whatever. The USA would go nuts.
For me it is the opposite: for the first time in a long time I see very clearly who in this war is the instigator and who are the defenders. Not since WW2 has there been a war where for me this is that clear.
I think many people just buy the biggest, cheapest thing they can. "Smart" is one of those scams that works because it doesn't enter into the calculus for most when making a product choice, so they get to slip it in. There was an article about the same thing recently with smart builder appliances in new homes.

My point is, I don't think many love them, I think they don't notice until it's too late and then they don't think about it too hard and just figure that's how the tv works.

(And I don't think what characterizes a smart tv is just the option of apps and streaming. This could be fine if done in an actual consumer friendly way. It's the other crap an upstream comment mentions)

Because not everyone is using Linux distributions, and even those cannot agree in which system packaging they want to have.
Uh oh... this comment brings it to the front of my mind and seems correct.
Solaris used to have some interesting features that were later implemented in Linux and FreeBSD. It took years and not all of these work perfectly well, but at this point there is no reason whatsoever to use Solaris instead of Linux. Unless you want to test if your software builds for the dozen or so of existing Solaris users.
So now a kernel cannot depend on anything? What about all the tooling that’s required like python, perl and many others or the fact that you have to have a working machine with the kernel already on it to build the kernel?
So does Illumos and OmniOS - which are direct forks from the last opensource versions of Solaris. I played around with illumos a few years ago before getting into FreeBSD and it’s a lovely little operating system.

I had the pleasure of programming on Sun machines back in the late 90's. I loved them. They had humongous screens. I wouldn't want one of those falling on me. They had a package management system. I occasionally had to update the system, and I found the update process a really pleasant one. The guy who did my performance appraisals noted that most programmers preferred the Unix environment over Windows.

That was the late 90's, though. This is now. Linux won. It was great for its time, but I feel that Solaris is too little, too late.
Musk could start his own Mastodon right now and do what he wants, but if he wants to bring along his Twitter network (or make it easier for any Twitter user to switch), then perhaps hurrying up Bluesky is another way to get what he wants short of taking Twitter private.

It seems like the focus needs to be on what can fight back misinformation/spam better given the context: more speech or moderation. The need for human moderation will likely still exist, but if Musk wants to accelerate the process as you say, Bluesky seems like a good way to start.

If Twitter is making choices that increase their bottom line at the expense of community, then absolutely, more transparency and open source would help with that.

It's because Ukraine contains three of the nine "gap" invasion pathways into Russia and demographic collapse means if Russia doesn't take those gaps back now they won't be able to field an army to do so in the future. They had all of them before the Soviet Union fell. Invading Georgia gave them back one. Taking Crimea gave them back another. Taking the rest of Ukraine will give them two more.

Yes, but most of the people expect watching TV with sound without buying extra device. Nobody stops you from hooking it up, but speaker cost is such low it would be more expensive to make special small series without speaker than with speaker. Personally I also use speaker only for minority of time when kids watch TV, in evenings we watch TV with wife through headphones to enjoy experience without disturbing kids/anyone.

You can also always disconnect the speaker if your religious belief is against speaker in TV, though you might void your warranty and I would understand more, if you would have issue with built-in microphone than speaker.

The dialog clearly warns you that if you have something to delete, it will be deleted, but it doesn't let you know if there is anything to delete.

That's not in itself a huge problem, but in this case it was compounded with the fact that the generic repo he was acting on is named inconsistently for users vs organizations, and he had just done it on his user account. If I'm reading correctly, a user's profile readme repo is `<user>/<user>`, while for organizations it is `<org>/.github`, and, crucially, `<org>/<org>` is almost always going to be the core project for that org.

So yes, the warning says you will lose all stars on the project, but in the moment it would have seemed (to a fallible human brain who was in a user-space context) that this was the right repo, whereas a "you will lose 54k stars" message would have broken the user out of that space.
