Kind of. It was kind of like a community in a box. The server and client software were dead simple to use and could be run off of a potato. You would get a message board, live chat, and file sharing all in one package. Servers could be advertised on a Tracker that could be queried from within the client. I was a Windows and BeOS user at the time and spent a fair amount of time bumming around anime and music themed servers. Also ran into one or two servers with big "Coast To Coast AM" vibes. Fun times.

> If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas.

That's just manipulative. Maybe it's just a moment of frustration and they'd take it back eventually, but blackmailing people with social drama is not cool. That's what X and Reddit is for.

> Rust folks: Please don't waste your time and mental cycles on drama like

That sounds very cult-like, doesn't it?
I daydream about writing a wenyan compiler every now and then.
But we're distinctly not in a society that leans more towards merit.

The truly funny thing is that at least one eminent scientist in 1900 (before, even) was in fact already worried about global warming.

Why? Because it was an incredibly obvious hypothesis once they understood that some atmospheric gases act as a heat reservoir, and burning fossil fuels adds those gases to the atmosphere. A hypothesis which has now been thoroughly confirmed.

Feudalism.
So what you are saying is that fool's gold isn't totally foolish.
Another happy doom user (and formerly unhappy vim configure-er).

Although the objection I see is more like "Why bother learning to use emacs/vim when VSCode is free and does everything I care about and my friends use it?" Which, to be fair, the emacs/vim learning curve isn't for everyone. I sometimes wish they had less "leet programmer" cred, though, since what is cred to the leet programmer is (in this case at least) stigma to the majority.
A decision to include Rust in the kernel isn't a decision to include any patches from any specific person with no questions asked.

It's valid for maintainers to reject a patch even if you disagree with the reason. Repeatedly causing social media storms to "shame" them for doing so, Marcan's own word BTW, isn't.

Rust is young and efforts to use it in kernel programming is even more so. It's completely understandable for wanting to take things slow and not be too quick to put it in places where there would be no going back. Everyone should at least be able to recognize that this concern exists, regardless of their opinions on Rust.
Ohh, interesting to see they have Linux builds available now.
We’re not that optimistic about the future here.
I'm speaking more generally about all comparisons between countries. The US is constantly compared to the Nordic countries and people constantly wonder why they're so much better on axes like healthcare and education. Very little attention is given to the obvious explanation that it's easier to treat and to educate a relatively homogeneous population.
I'm no historian or otherwise an expert but someone told me that secret services exist almost independent from the government that spawned them and that some even continue to exist after the government is gone. (I forget the examples) The point being that it serves itself first and may act to benefit other parties. (The status quo) The government or the citizens may end up further down the list than imagined.

But map makes total sense, considering that maybe is a monad.
A quote from that page claims that Bake saves complexity by removing "all the flags and environment variables" from a build command, but as far as I can tell, all those flags and environment variables are still there, they're just now defined even more verbosely in an HCL file...

I’ve never seen an actually disabled person use one. They’re always occupied by cars with placards but the people are pretty clearly abled or able enough to walk across the parking lot.
Probably about the same as we have.

Higher frequencies have terrible transmission (skin effect, transmission line length limit) and would start to interfere with radio.

Lower frequencies need larger transformers.

DC while nice is too expensive.

So about where we are now.
I mean there are examples in the same category as well: how many years was it illegally exported from dispensaties between states? New state legalizes? day one the corporate dispensary is stocked which is curious since it takes several months to grow. Also, lots of foriegn capital involved in the industry.

Not just meta, Open AI, spotify, youtube...its become a routine exception and can now be relied upon.

I agree that the legal fees could be a big factor, but it seems cases aren't even filed.

Zig fixes many of my woes with C. Compilation time is better than Rust’s, and there’s no borrow checker. I also find the Zig community more pleasant than Rust’s.

The Rust ecosystem never clicked for me the way Go or Zig did. But I work with I/O-heavy distributed systems, where Go outshines Rust in most cases, so that’s what I use the most.

Systems programming is a different beast, though, and I’m glad the push for rewriting everything in Rust has lost its initial momentum while Zig is emerging as a strong contender. Even then, I wouldn’t want Ziggers to start pushing things upstream into the kernel anytime soon.
True, but I would not be surprised if the vast majority of Java programmers have no clue what a monad is.
This is profoundly silly.

First of all because we're talking about the kernel community here, which was incredibly toxic and dramatic long before Rust even existed. Linus has chilled out in the past few years but that legacy isn't entirely gone.

C++ drama has nearly come to fistfights at conferences, and the only reason that doesn't get talked about more is that the toxicity stays mostly on private (not public) mailing lists as a result of the more insular nature of that ecosystem. Nowadays you have a lot of people just quitting over things like the fact that a member of the standard committee was convicted on CSAM charges.

There are plenty of "C supremacists" in the tech influencer community and the maintainer mailing list of every distribution.

And streamers like PrimeTime that eagerly jump on every opportunity to shit on Rust and actively dump gasoline on every flareup of drama for ad revenue.

In general, programmers seem to love being elitist about languages and tools. Remember how everyone used to dump on PHP constantly?

I’m the developer of BrainDojo. Thanks for reading, and I’d like to clarify a few points. The reason I wrote this essay is to push back against the notion that “users expect apps to be free,” and “developers must rely on ads” to stay afloat. I find it unfortunate that genuinely family-friendly apps—ones free from intrusive ads—are so rare.

I don’t know your circumstances or how you earn a living, but as a service provider, I personally believe in a model where users pay for what they value. That revenue can then fund ongoing development, rather than subjecting everyone to endless advertising. BrainDojo is designed for everyone from kids to seniors, and we keep it ad-free precisely to maintain a safe and welcoming experience.

I’m sorry if my intentions weren’t clear, but thank you again for taking the time to read my thoughts.

You can generate the data synthetically.

We never had the budget to do it but I do have some notes somewhere on a 2d context free grammar to generate arbitrarily nested rows/columns and a css styling that got applied to the xhtml output of the grammar. It dynamically generated as much high quality synthetic data as you wanted - but the IBM and similar data sets were plenty big enough for what we could do even on specialist models.

It depends on what you're doing really. I thought that we'd done pretty well, then someone on HN reached out with a table that spanned 50 pages and I just gave up.

Feel free to drop an email if you'd like a quick chat. I find the state of table models particularly abysmal for how important they are.
Still no pricing or availability announced.

Yep. I, for one, couldn’t care less about picking up Emacs, Vim, or any of these modal editors. So, VSCode it is.

No-modularize is strictly good if you can avoid it. Hardcode memory addresses at compile time is simpler and faster.

Linux is one of the most complicated OS in the history of OS and both of them understand this in someway or the other, it's still not cracked enough market share to dominate the personal computer market even in 2025, but is already on millions of other devices except PCs and a small change in decision like r4l brings the whole perspective into matter, after the fact that rust is highly compute intensive language and low end processors might not be able to catchup the speed in the best possible way these industries work, memory is cheap to include and hence the decision to include Python was a comparatively easy one, but rust is a highly balanced choice currently which makes the decision more difficult for Linux to include R4L in kernel, hence the dissolution on parts in which to include.

This is based on my limited experience with rust, but I believe we really need to give rust more time to mature it enough to see where we're going with the builds to actually decide on this matter, even personally. Plus, Linux has been keeping the Linux Kernel project alive for so long that he probably already has got the experience of knowing the repercussions of a wrong decision. Being hasty in this scenario doesn't solve the problem

Agree you're probably right. I never watched that debate, thanks for the clip. I won't watch it further I didn't like either one of them too much.

I did like the remix though, I am sure there are plenty of more of those.

which is a good opportunity to introduce said nomenclature, and ideas to them, rather than renaming said method to something more "palatable".
It's open source and even has long design documents, better to improve it instead of just complaining about. If your opinion is valid, some others will rewrite to fix it.
> I trade whatever default workflow that VSCode and other IDEs are imposing for a better editing experience. And even the initial time investment is short these days due to the trove of config and tutorials online.

You can configure VSCode with plugins. They aren't imposing any more defaults than vim or emacs do.

The national emergency seems to be that they want to do something that is explicitly illegal. The article seems to be missing important context on why they expect to be able to do what they are doing.
I think so, it's common for large businesses in Japan to rotate employees through departments at the beginning of their career, and to hire people for engineering with a degree in another field.

Yes, if you click yes when asked if you trust it.

But it’s worse: if you download untrusted code onto a remote machine or VM and then open it via VSCode’s SSH feature, it can own your local system.
Is calling him Tim Apple some sort of inside joke I'm out of the loop on? We don't call Elon "Elon Tesla" or Satya "Satya Microsoft".
Is it insensitive to say “move somewhere less corrupt”? It doesn’t seem to be anything to do with Starlink as it seems they can’t legally offer service there.
I use this "annotated equation" technique in my own notes when I am working through mathematics. It's honestly kind of crazy to me that it isn't already standard practice in mathematics texts.

Thx! I can now go trace Reinoud Lamberts himself through his parents address in the PostMan source download from that archived webpage. It's been 32 years since he had his Silicon Graphics workstation (on which he wrote his KAOS and PostMan software) in the room in my house that he rented. We never spoke again but we both became chip designers since.
I'm starting to wonder if [flagged] needs qualifiers. "The conversation" may not always be on point but its substantively mainstream non peer review write up of often peer review and cited materials. It does have opinion pieces as well. You know the author and the editorial and the publishing arc, it's all listed.

So how would it qualify for flagging beyond some individuals "I don't like it" ?
While I could go into a long story here about the relative merits of the
two designs, suffice it to say that among the people who actually design
operating systems, the debate is essentially over. Microkernels have won.

The developers of BSD UNIX, SunOS, and many others would disagree. Also, the then upcoming Windows NT was a hybrid kernel design. While it has an executive "micro-kernel", all of the traditional kernel stuff outside the "microkernel" runs in kernel mode too, so it is really a monolithic kernel with module loading.

While the original post was written well before NeXTSTEP, the Mach 3.0 kernel was converted into a monolithic kernel in NeXTSTEP, which later became MacOS. The reality is that Mach 3.0 was just still slow performance wise, much like how NT would have been had they had made it into an actual micro-kernel.

In the present day, the only place where microkernels are common are embedded applications, but embedded systems often don't even have operating systems and more traditional operating systems are present there too (e.g. NuttX).
Sounds like, if you take this to the limit, the course of action is to not touch a computer?
Yeah I don't get the iterator thing either... Saw the implementation and I'm not sure what the usecase would be.

They have essentially implement a single element iterator for Some and a zero element iterator for None.
These sound great in theory but as an app user I have found their implementation can range from deeply irritating to downright broken. Anti-use cases off the top of my head might be (this was from a calendar/reminder app):

- I write myself an appointment on Monday to remind myself to plan a meal for next Friday, so the app silently moves the Monday app to Friday without telling me just because the words "next Friday" appeared in the event title

- I want to quickly note an appointment for a specific time including an address in the title, when the street number is something like 10A - the app aggressively decides (again without warning me) that I want the appointment to be at 10 a.m. instead of the time I originally suggested when creating the event

In the case of that particular app, I just turned off the "natural language" feature globally - shame because it could have been useful if it was less aggressive in its interpretations and silent modifications of my previous choices, but the app developers told me other users are happy with it so there is no reason to fix it.

Thanks for pointing me to that. Upon reflection, there's a further conversation to be had in PL design:

> The rationale for this is that at some point, all garbage collected languages run into the same issue: the workload is too great for the garbage collector to keep up.

What this actually means is "The program I wrote is a poor fit for the garbage collector I am using." which can be fixed by either changing the program or changing the garbage collector. People often focus on the latter and forget the former is a possibility[1].

Similarly with single-ownership and borrows, you can write a program that is fighting the memory management system (see e.g. any article on writing a doubly-linked list in Rust).

In other structured memory allocation systems (hierarchical, pools &c.), the memory allocation lends itself well to certain architectures of code.

As far as I know, nobody has done a comparison of various memory management systems and how they enable and hinder various forms of program design.

1: The "time" special operator in SBCL shows allocation and GC time statistics by default. I think this nudges people into thinking about how their program is allocating at exactly the right time: when they are worried about how long something is taking.
