Neither of those. The pay is great and if all leadership cares about is making the whole company "AI Native" and pushing bullshit diffs, I'll play ball.

Native GUI libs look like shit out of the box, and are terrible to work with when you want to make something that doesn't look like out of the box tkinter/swing/qt/winforms Windows 95 looking crap.

Yeah, because "AI is so great guys!!" is any better.

It's most likely causality-based time, not the time per an atomic clock.

I also was confused by why he was being so cryptic about a very popular forum.

Except the software running in TEEs, including the source code, is all verifiable at runtime, via a third party not controlled by Meta. And if you disagree, claim a bug bounty and become famous for exposing Meta as frauds. Or, more likely, stick with your reddit-tier zealotry and clown posting.

What's the point in arguing about what-ifs? The children were deported. In real life. There's no need for hypothetical scenarios, focus on the actual point of the article and thread.

> 3) Enough with the ideological censorship

What's this referring to? It seems to me they've stayed out of the culture war stuff (compared to Meta who is wading in it, for example).

My comment didn't add much in the way of discussion, so it probably should have been downvoted. But like you said, Rust isn't making a dent so far, and it'll take much more than memory safety to convince the industry to switch to e.g. Bevy rather than the big 2.
