I like the take that they have in that thread: Perforce is forking Puppet into a non-Open Source version (but they’re keeping the name).

That’s the first argument they make in their petition.

While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

sweet stop

I think you mean sweet spot. Now I’m wondering if it’s a typo or an eggcorn.

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).

You can set it to show what you want; if I’m doing TDD I’ll set it to show the test output, and then it’ll show the warnings beneath it.

You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc

But yes, it’s pretty similar to using watch.

My hope is that something like Servo gets good enough to be included, especially if it’s tree-shakable so you can only include a subset of the codebase. I don’t know if that’s a goal for either projects, but it would be cool - the default webviews can be quite lacking so currently you need to use a restricted set of HTML/CSS/JS to guarantee compatibility.

100% the second one. It’s the idiomatic way to do this in Rust, and it leaves you with an immutable object.

I personally like to move the short declarations together (i.e. body down with language_id (or both at the top)) but that’s a minor quibble.

The phrasing of “First actual case of bug being found” definitely sounds like it’s a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say “a literal bug lol”.

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn’t say that Hopper invented the term

Token-based string distances looks like exactly what I need for my current side project - I’m using Levenshtein but I should be comparing based on words, not characters.

I just need to figure out which (if any) of these does what I need.

Edit: looks like the Python version has that information: https://github.com/life4/textdistance?tab=readme-ov-file#algorithms

How did you find Leptos to work with? I never got further than the tutorial so I have yet to form a real opinion on it.

It’s a subtle difference between that and path::exists().

• path::exists() == false might just mean you can’t use it (if path::exists() cannot access a file due to e.g. permissions, it’ll return false)
• fs::exists() == Ok(false) means it’s definitely not there (permissions error will cause an Err to be returned)

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it’s not doing it on the server so…

I’m of the belief that spawning threads on demand is an anti-pattern; threads should spawn on program startup, and sleep until they have work to do.

Hmm, I need to think on this to decide whether I agree. What’s your reasoning for this opinion? Is it just based on lower latency, or is it more of an architectural/correctness thing?

It’s saying modern marshmallows are made with corn syrup, starch, sugar and gelatin but originally it was made with mallow plant.

Now I want to try the mallow version - has anyone here tried them?
