GPL is just as bad as proprietary licenses in the sense that GPL makes the user worry about the licensing of some library they just want to use. MIT, BSD,… give the code user the freedom to avoid worrying about licensing bullshit. GPL meanwhile doesn’t really solve any of the problems you claim it solves because all it does is duplicate effort and the non-GPL duplicate is used in a lot of places where a single copy of the code could be used if the GPL-using author hadn’t stubbornly insisted on a disproven theory of how GPL will save us.

On the other hand a new GPL licensed version of coreutils will run into the exact same adoption problems that brought us the current mess of “you can use this parameter on GNU but not on the BSD version”,…

If you licensed your project incorrectly

If you think other people disagreeing with you on how to license their own work is “incorrect” maybe you are the one not really in favor of freedom.

It does with the environment variable mentioned elsewhere but it uses three yanked crates.

For me it was all the yanked versions of ahash that prevented it from building

Also last updated in 2021 and won’t build any more with cargo install for me.

Broadcast sends every value to every consumer, mpsc only allows a single consumer to get each value.

As someone who regularly disables JS on websites (or rather refuses to enable it for a lot of websites) I am very glad WASM does not work around that restriction.

Having used Qt in C++ for a decade or more in the past I just can’t see them integrating idiomatically into any language, they don’t even manage that in C++ with their giant case of ‘not-invented-here’ syndrome.

In reality Windows isn’t the most widely used platform, not where it counts, among the developers of those libraries. And finding competent Windows developers to contribute also isn’t easy while finding Windows users demanding support is quite easy since the factor of developers per user is so much worse on that platform.

Just add an option to re-enable space bar heating.

Works fine on PC with an ad blocker and at least there you aren’t relying on YouTube keep any promises.

On the other hand exclusives really just make everyone else who isn’t so easy to manipulate hate your platform.

To be fair whoever invented YAML was just a sadist in general who wanted to see everyone in the industry suffer.

So only indentation, no alignment then?

On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.

It is always so weird to me that people literally seem to believe that complex inventions like programming languages are something we got to perfection within 20 (in C’s case) or 30 (in C++'s case) years of the advent of our industry. Especially considering an iteration cycle is somewhere in the decade or longer range for these. I would expect this to improve for at least a couple of hundred years before we reach the point where nothing new can be added to existing programming languages that is worth starting over with a new language to reap the benefits.

Probably from the same spot where they get the idea that languages literally designed within the first few decades of our profession are the pinnacle of technical excellence and can never be surpassed.

Well, at 2 years it is probably older than at least one other game.

“easily”, I guess console players are used to the pain.

Maybe but I don’t see that as an argument that will be compelling to many of the less involved parents. Most people don’t even see how their own data can be used to harm them, much less data on how their kids behave in games.
