This sounds a lot like the rust foundation is trying to either leverage its position into making money or influencing the rust community by giving out the "only real certificate".
Re:Volvo is using Rust for its in-vehicle software on Saturday September 24, 2022 @05:18PM (#32966601)
German car manufacturers already have unions. Unions don't help against overmanagment and leadership without technical (digital) understanding. "Creative" parts of the company are often praised (while mostly badly stealing ideas from the competition) while devs are seen as a "resource". Experts usually get asked AFTER the project is on fire or already crisp.
Re:Ask HN: Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad? on Thursday September 22, 2022 @03:22AM (#32935703)
I signed into o365 a few days ago and it recommended a random excel file of a completely unrelated department to me. Not sure why an office application needs to "recommend" files.

Where do you get the power to prevent power concentration?
It's mainly about cost and a bit about "but Tesla!".
Re:Russian gas flows to Europe on Sunday July 10, 2022 @05:33PM (#32049297)
Because none of those plan on taking over europe. Russia still has the goal to directly control all slavic countries and indirectly control the rest of Europe. Most europeans remember the USSR.

Why wouldnt it? It is not part of the Schengen area anymore, right?
I grew up in a more rural area and we always played in a old stonequarry in the woods. I went back there a few years ago and was quite shocked how high that was. I dont think our parents were aware of that. Well - we all survived (not without some injuries to teach us a lesson).

Those old bombs are still around in Germany (unsurprisingly). This was a controlled explosion of one in munich 2012: https://youtu.be/idF3Nq11BcM

They are usually really good, but germany also pushed a lot for more students in universities over the decades.
Re:A C perspective – Why should I want Rust to succeed? on Thursday January 27, 2022 @03:11AM (#30097657)
"We have a plethora of static and memory checking tools: Valgrind, ASsan, Intel Inspector, etc." I'm not sure what to do with that argument. How is having a plethora of external tools (that you have to setup, configure and in the end not ignore) better than a compiler that prevents memory bugs?
Re:Inclusive IT Language Guide [pdf] on Tuesday January 04, 2022 @06:17AM (#29793617)
This is laughable. I'm not even sure this comes from an honest intention to improve the world.
Re:Calling Rust from Python using PyO3 on Sunday November 28, 2021 @10:30AM (#29369628)
I've been playing around with Rust, PyO3 and Blender the last few days and it has been really nice to use.
Re:In response to the moderation team resignation (Rust) on Friday November 26, 2021 @04:33AM (#29348720)
If it turns out that she was involved or the reason for that, the rust foundation and core team will look really bad. And things usually get public over time. But right now it's just vage drama.
Re:A beginner’s guide to game hacking techniques [pdf] on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @04:04AM (#29159299)
Cheating is a massive problem in multiplayer and most developers/publishers dont care much about it. Battlefield for example relies heavily on a community project to ban cheaters from private servers ( https://bfban.com ) but official DICE servers are often run over by cheaters.
Re:Truths about video game stories on Sunday October 31, 2021 @05:39AM (#29055755)
While I agree on your general point about "diversity" in games I'm pretty sure HZD was before that topic became an issue.

What's Undetermined In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/blm-terrorist-rosenberg/ Interesting fact checking.
Re:Tweeting “Memphis” autolocks your Twitter account on Monday March 15, 2021 @04:45AM (#26463756)
That was pretty normal until not long ago, but there seems to be a push to "everything is political". This provides the excuse to go after people who might contibute to a community, but stated somewhere else opinions that are not in line with somebody in said community.

Depends on the language for me. In Perl it takes about 6h.
Re:Bevy 0.2 on Sunday September 20, 2020 @03:15AM (#24532438)
I found it extremely easy to get into and reason about the code. This is probably one of the reasons it got such good traction.
