I was comparing frozen diced veggies a couple of years back (in Australia) and noticed that the store-brand version was approximately 1/3 broccoli stems by volume, which certainly explained the cost difference.
Nothing in tech stands still. If you want a glimpse of a possible alternative future check out Pijul. And I don’t know an example off-hand but the idea of doing version control on ASTs of program code rather than flat text is an interesting concept that hasn’t taken off yet.
I’d rather go to the local library and ask the clerk for a search term
Sounds kind of relaxing tbh
Agreed. Why overcomplicate things? I can understand the desire not to pick favourites in a rapidly-evolving space which was clearly the approach of /r/rust mods early on, but enough time has now passed that the project could save everyone some headaches by just picking one Lemmy community that they’re confident will be held to the Rust community standards. Nobody’s expecting a permanent decision with young software. We can change the way we operate again in a year or two if we have to.
I recall that if you elude the monster long enough by catching enough logs you eventually wrap around to the start of the course and can ski down it again, and you get an additional monster chasing you when you get to the bottom.
They’re certainly thinking about it, going by this post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/173597?scrollToComments=true
Lots of previous discussion on this thread: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/578847
No idea if it’s relevant in this case but at least once I had to clear both browser cache and the cookies/site data to get Lemmy rendering right after an update.
Happily no, all okay here on web UI. e.g. 10 hours, 7 days, 15 days and 19 days on https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/anonradio
I wrote a longer take on point 3: https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2023/07/07/if-i-was-meta-and-wanted-to-make-fedi-implode.html
Ask yourself, in three years from now will you be thinking “it’s so nice how Meta lets me follow and interact with their enormous userbase for free, without advertising, using my own open source server and frontend”?
Remember that’s the basic expectation today for a participant in the fediverse. If this feels implausible, doing anything else is very incompatible with the fediverse’s existing values.
The problem isn’t just that it’s Meta, it’s any situation where a much larger actor comes in with different motivations. Today we have a small number of users whose servers are almost exclusively run on a “community service” model. Meta is an advertising business. They are much bigger and will define the fediverse if allowed in. If we allow them to connect, it should be much later after organic growth which means we can assimilate them properly and deflect any bad behaviour.
What might happen if Meta throws their weight around? I can predict at least three outcomes
The question in my mind is whether their intention is to destroy the competition, or keep the fediverse alive as a way to claim that they are not a technical monopoly that needs to be broken up by regulators, in the same way that Google provides most of the funding for Firefox.
One approach I’m personally fond of is actor-style async programming with tokio. It’s easy to mingle timers with receiving messages from channels, which is quite powerful. This post by Alice Rhyl is a good description of the idea: https://ryhl.io/blog/actors-with-tokio/
This station is now the ultimate power in the fediverse! I suggest we use it.
I get a different video, which is from one of the submitted links further down the page. My best guess is a Lemmy bug is shifting the clickable video element into a tiny box in the top right of the page.
I’ve been having some other issues on and off with the thumbnail rendering since we updated to the RC so maybe it’s related. (Oddly the images are loading fine according to the network requests, it’s just the CSS isn’t being set right to display them.)
Well we have upvotes but no links, so here we go: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/planetsmolnet (@visiblink@lemmy.sdf.org I liked your idea of focusing it around “smolnet”)
I wonder if I will regret being a mod on a community where “on-topic” isn’t defined. Hopefully it won’t be a problem!
Thanks for all the work on the instance!
Yes. The interaction with the Rust Foundation is described in the linked RFC.
The Council is responsible for establishing the process for selecting Project directors. The Project directors are the mechanism by which the Rust Project’s interests are reflected on the Rust Foundation board.
The Council delegates a purview to the Project directors to represent the Project’s interests on the Foundation Board and to make certain decisions on Foundation-related matters. The exact boundaries of that purview are out of scope for this RFC.
If you can write correct C++ you’ll be able to write Rust code that compiles first time. Don’t stress, you’re learning the good stuff.
