I don't mean to be negative, but that's probably because it's pretty much the same thing. Codefloe is tiny. Some quick counting shows it has a grand total of 1012 registered users, including bots, and 1416 public repositories of which the top 3 with the most stars (I know this is a mostly meaningless metric, but for scale) have 27, 13, and 8. It's too small to run into scaling issues.

You seem to be treating this like a commercial endeavor in which you have much to gain from adoption by nontechnical people. I don't really see why though. It looks like you're developing non-commercial open source software for an audience of developers.

You are taking on the responsibility of being compatible with a large variety of different people's opinions on how software should be built, configured, and distributed. Yes that's a lot of work. Distributions have people willing to do that work for software they or their users (who can ask) care about.

Packaging it for a distro is someone else's job, and they'll take care of concerns like Debian's dependency policy. If they want to package it in the first place of course.

No, this device was only discontinued this year, you can still buy accessories and it still receives software updates.

It just turns out their software has flaws that break the update process after a few years of sitting unused. Not great, but luckily there are workarounds, as this article walks you through.

The proposal actually fully treats this as desirable:

> When web authors style links to look like buttons, they inherit the responsibility to make links behave like buttons in all possible contexts.

No, they don't. A web author that works to disable core functionality for links should be fired into the sun, not given easier tools to do so. If your action is really just a navigation, then the user should have the ability to treat it as such.

CCL isn't very actively maintained and currently doesn't have an ARM64 port, but otherwise continues to work fine. I believe one reason people use it is that it compiles a bit faster than SBCL, at least in part by doing less optimization.

> Fly Machines and our Platform As A Service features aren’t going anywhere. But Sprites was the product of a tiny skeleton crew inside of Fly.io[†], and now it isn’t.

So it's both indeed.

I mean, I've got many like that and yes it does work. `s01/01 - Pilot.mkv` is recognized as season 1, episode 1, etc.

There is, but your example is not valid. You can't use short function syntax in constant expressions, it has to be an explicit `static function`.

The reason for this, IIRC (I can't find the GitHub issue or PR atm) is that these functions aren't allowed to close over any variables, and with fn syntax doing so is implicit. Rather than erroring they've disallowed the use of arrow functions entirely.

How is this the last thing in the article? The sole example given of a "funny" combination (apples and condoms, weirdly bad example) is only remotely funny because those are the only items.

That's what the "document.body.style.opacity = 0;" is for. Though I agree emptying out the body is probably better.

"Even C++" makes no sense. That's exactly where you'd expect it to be mentioned because Rust is pretty much aiming to be a C++ replacement. Mentions in the context of Zig also make sense, because Zig is aiming to be a C replacement in the same way Rust is aiming for C++, and C/C++ are overlapping areas.

You don't see much mention of Rust in discussions about something like Lua, because those are very distinct.

Some other reasons you might see it mentioned fairly often: Rust solves some issues at compile time that many languages solve at runtime using GC, making lower level programming more approachable for high level programmers and broadening its target audience. It has also had extremely active evangelists all over the place for a very long time, causing not mentioning it to trigger annoying derailment of discussions.

I'll note that this is followed by an entirely non-technical statement of opinion.

They can try to do better and be hopeful, but they also fucked up big time. It's not like the public actually believes the lie, so stop telling it.
