Not sure if it is particularly hostile. There are several GPL crates like Slint.

This one is concerning.

Are you serious? I live in country where we are not using Amazon.

And you don’t have another big online marketplace that’s basically similar?

And if not, you are saying you have a similar availability of such a vast network of goods, almost anything you might want and the convenience of fast delivery and simple returns via local shops or something?

I guess I’m not sure what you are suggesting. I personally find that shopping and finding and acquiring the products I want is vastly more convenient and easier with Amazon than before we had Amazon and yes I was around back then too. I’d never want to go back personally. Most family and friend I know seem to feel the same.

This is DEI talk to them.

So is hiring young people over a better qualified senior applicant. You wouldn't have to make it a point if recent grads would win in a meritocracy.

It's fine to hire a bunch of juniors but then you're kinda explicitly not looking for the best. But at $150k-ish they'll get mid career and senior devs from low CoL areas pouring in.

This is legit question, especially for Tor binaries.

Advantage of Rust (or original C implementation) is for users that do not have runtime and want to import Tor libraries (like arti-client) in their code. Go could work but those unmanaged languages are better here. So in the end Rust (or C, C++ etc.) can serve more user-cases.

Article is about C. So non-GC memory safe language, as first, choice makes sense here.

Not really, there are tons of software written in C that should have never came close to a C compiler in first place.

Even the UNIX and C authors agree with this, given what they worked on, in OS design and programming languages post C.

Something that many glance over, what have their UNIX idols actually done after UNIX System V.

Thus the first question already is that kernel code or not, and if not, why should it be written in C versus any other safer alternative.

Actual reasons like performance numbers required by the application, or existing SDK availability, not the "because I like it".

Seems like you are not target audience for these new languages and that is OK. But I guess there are still many people that want to try new things (on their own even).

How is that relevant to discussion about complexity?

So why are you posting things like drama queen:

(btw. FreeBSD is fine)

See this policy of return to Times New Roman really works. People are debating particular letters after (both) rulings have been made instead of the fact that president protects pedophiles.

Only rich ones. Lowbrow pedophiles who hang out in pizza parlors are a whole different thing.

First climate-friendly policy.
