@FrancescoCiull4 @VBragilevsky I am really enjoying Rust.
Frankly, for std environments like linux, I only like it for terminal apps.
But I am learning no-std Rust as I am learning embedded, and it is PERFECT for this. Chef’s kiss!

My Rust book is on its way to reaching 1000 copies sold (844 a couple of days ago).
And it has been the #1 bestseller on Amazon for "parallel computer programming."

@jkfritcher @davepl1968 @gator_gum Send them all to Greenland.
2 problems solved at once: we can add Greenland without altering the flag, and they will have a reasonable basis for statehood because of the crucial economic and strategic role the territory will play.

@DevMagister @davepl1968 @gator_gum So what you’re saying is, you feel the state of Rhode Island is too small to be a state. What state should own those people, and would the people of Rhode Island agree with you? I bet they don’t.

@darth_turnip @lauriewired This comment is bad, and you should feel bad.
Separating concerns matters! Your HTML should not contain logic, let along backend logic. This is a recipe for weak static analysis tool, weak debugging workflows, spaghetti code, difficult migration.

man, I don’t code in PHP but tbh the mascot is so cute it kinda makes me want to
look at this little guy

@lauriewired The Postgres mascot, Slonik, is more better. And he represents a worthwhile stack piece!

@lcamtuf Not a big hurdle.
I imagine if you got people to rewrite coreutils in C again, there would be MORE issues.
The swap is still going forward in 26.10 🙂

@JohnDoritosKane @KarenPayneMVP Openai is projected to still have $14 billion losses this year
A successful IPO will give them more temporary runway, but if Musk’s lawsuit is partially successful it could tank the IPO
Better not to allow vendor lock-in in the first place! MS does the same thing over and over

@DevMagister @KarenPayneMVP Prices did recently skyrocket. It seems to be normalizing across the industry. To be fair, Microsoft's docs did say special Copilot pricing was for a limited time, and I enjoyed taking advantage of that.
English
Rather than getting in a tizzy about the cost of GitHub Copilot, consider writing code as you would before AI and use less costly models for most work.
English
@JohnDoritosKane @KarenPayneMVP Yes, and Claude Code can also run other models, but that is not the question.
More importantly, Claude Code can also run custom in-house models (via Ollama, LM Studio, etc).
With copilot, you will always be paying microsoft, and prices will soon skyrocket. Enjoy!
English
@DevMagister @KarenPayneMVP Copilot agent runs frontier models such as Anthropic Claude Opus 4.x like Claude Code does. Other than the cosmetic and permission prompting differences, I haven't noticed any major code quality differences when the same LLM is used no matter through which agent.

@davepl1968 Before they invented hands we had to increment the abacus by blowing on it like the big bad wolf

In the 90s we'd walk every path in the debugger in asm. Partly because we didn't have source level debugging...
Ivan Rouzanov@ivanrouzanov
In OS development we absolutely do review compiler output by reading assembly. Not every build, but in general - yes, even though it is highly accurate and deterministic. For security fixes, I used to read both assembly and disassembly of the final fix.

@davepl1968 @gator_gum True, but it also isn’t fair the Rhode Island has 2 Senators for 1 million residents.
English
@gator_gum That's why America has Senators, with equal representation in each state.
Would it be fair to make Alaska and its oil beholden to the whims of the entire nation? Like you do with Alberta, I mean?

@davepl1968 @HappyMotorhead You take that back!
I loved my manual transmission diesel Jetta.
The only manual where you don’t need to hit the gas pedal to move forward in 1st gear from a stop! Good luck with short on-ramps though…

@HappyMotorhead Anything with a base 90hp engine should be ashamed.

Nearly 43 years old and still looks better than a new Tesla.
Do you agree?

Teach us more about embedded, there is not enough wholesome content here.
My pan/tilt servo tracking algorithm sucks and I don’t know why.

@DerrickEvans4WV And I think I am finally done with you. Unfollowed, go fuck yourself.

This is interesting. Would you support Tucker Carlson if he runs for President?

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson hits all-time high in the 2028 Presidential Election odds, as he teases a potential run. 7% chance.

@skdh @kareem_carr This unironically the worst affliction I have ever heard of. ☹️I am sorry for your loss.

I feel much better since going gluten-free, hopefully soon I'll be fully back to being annoying. But I struggle to get my daily calories together, there's only so much butter I can put on rice before it gets disgusting. Please let me know if you have suggestions... 🙏

@tsoding How can tou rename a file that doesn’t exist?
Surely it means create the file if it does not exist
English
@schteppe Therefore, languages should not default to undefined behavior, and should instead have defined behavior for most or all usage of the language.
English
@systemdesignone I strongly disagree.
Rust’s compiler literally teaches you the language. No other language can say that.
I come from a full stack web dev background, but Rust was easy. The only difficult parts are not specific to Rust: learning how memory is actually handled by hardware.
