A crate having the unsafe keyword doesn’t make the crate unsafe. The unsafe keyword just tells the compiler: “I know that what I’m trying to do may lead to memory safety issues, but I, as the programmer guarantee you that the codeblock as a whole is safe, so turn off some of your checks”.

Using the unsafe keyword in rust is no much different than using a C library in rust.

This entire post is so ignorant it can be summed up in a one paragraph analogy:

“Why do everyone love screwdrivers so much? I drove in nails perfectly with my hammer, but the screwdrivers are so bad at it! Who even designed them? What a horrible design!”

They are not equivalent situations. More like:

Person A promises to kill 10 people. Person B promises to kill 20 people.

Only one of them will do it, and you choose who. If you refuse to choose, person B will do it. What do you do?

Not related to your question at all, but:

I don’t recommend editing the source code from cargo’s files. Instead, the correct way to modify a dependency would be making a fork and using it as a gift dependency (or path dependency, which is even easier).

My comment only mentions me and all women. How exactly am I giving cover to men that rape? I raped nobody. The question I’m asking is what I’ve done wrong.

I don’t know what trump and racism has anything to do with this.

So how exactly am I complicit for some dude raping someone? Just because I have a penis? And are all women completely exempt or are all women also complicit?

Even though they are not what people mean when they say “memory-safe”, it is technically a kind of memory safety. It is unsafe to modify non-mutexed/non-atomic memory that another thread might be modifying at the same time.

The windows key is awesome though. It’s basically an “OS key”, since windows is not the only one that can use it, so the OS can have many hotkeys, all of them using the OS key, and it shouldn’t conflict with any program’s hotkeys. If any program uses the OS key for their default hotkey, that’s their problem.

Windows 11 is little more than a reskin of windows 10, and they still fucked it up.

Rounded corners are mandatory (Why? I really preferred squared ones). But developers can choose to have their windows square. Why only the developers? Let the user decide how a windows looks like!

And don’t get me started on the start menu. It was a complete massacre. Tiles are gone (am I the only one that liked them?). Instead, now we pin apps to the start menu. Fine I guess, except for the fact that half of the fucking menu is taken up by fucking recomendations. If I remove every single recommendation, instead of having my space back for more pinned programs I get this message: “oh you like this precious white space? If you turned on some recommendations it would show something”. No, i don’t want recommendations, I want my start menu space back. Which btw in windows 10 used to be resizable to whatever size I wanted.

Oh and lets not forget about the volume mixer. Which some genius decided that it was better to keep it 10 clicks away from the user in the settings, instead of conveniently at one click in the taskbar. Which they also made the sound settings their own special taskbar element, instead of another taskbar program. So now if I want to replace their shitty sound settings with the ones I like (trumpet btw), now I would have 2 sound settings in the taskbar, while in win10 I only had 1.

And whose Idea was to join the sound settings and internet settings in the same taskbar button visually? Which is also not the same button functionally. You see, if you press the left side of the button it opens the sound settings, but the right side opens the internet settings. How much do Microsoft UI people get paid?

I guess we got dark notepad, that’s nice.

Logistical problems are still financial problems though. That’s my point. Hire enough people/develop the appropriate automation and the issue is no more.

We have the technology to solve this, the problem is the money.

In fact, you could just buy enough batteries and the problem will also go away. Still a financial problem, not a technology one.

EDIT: just to clarify, if at some point energy prices go negative, it means that it is cheaper to buy energy usage than a solution. Unless the energy company is dumb enough to just lose money for the lazyness of considering other options.

It should be illegal for companies with a legal budget over X€ to have illegal clauses on their terms and conditions.

It is a financial problem. Technically you can just cover the solar panels. But that’s not good financially.

That’s the exit. Because the woman is not inside.

To be fair abortion is not risk-free and side-effectless. It’s much preferable to encourage the use of contraceptives in those situations.

Presumably, if you’re looking for a partner, if the potential partner is looking for a partner it’s better.

The tinder one is though. Someone being on tinder doesn’t tell you anything about that person. Only that they’re looking for either a partner or casual sex.

What’s up with all these posts lately talking as if C was the chain breaker that will let you achieve a higher spiritual level for your soul or some shit. This is at least the second I’ve seen this week.

It’s a programming language. If you want to use it, use it. There is no illuminati pulling in the strings to prevent you from learning this holy language.

That being said, like all programming languages, it’s a tool, with its upsides and downsides. Depending on the project it might be the best choice or the worst. But with the advancement in language design, there’s very little upsides compared to more modern languages, taking into account its big downsides.

Well, game freak is still a Japanese developer. Mario Cart is a very computationally light concept, as usually are Mario games, idk about odyssey in particular though, but they tend to be small maps with small amount of entities each. Zelda is fair, I’ve heard good things about it.

It’s easy to make a good performing game if its concept and art design are computationally light. Optimization is about turning a computationally hard problem into a light algorithm that doesn’t take much resources.

The new Pokemon games grind to a halt if you are in the south of the map and look at the north. Because you are rendering the entire map. How is that optimized to hell and back?

Ah, a C programmer.
