Nah, AI code is black or white, and whether the code is good depends on your religion.
Same here, not using firefox because of worse compatibility (maybe not their fault, many devs only test in chrome) and weaker security (maybe not their fault, they don't have as much money). I appreciate the people who do and help diversify the ecosystem though.
Betteridge's law strikes again
Honestly more than I thought
If it's an actual bug, I hope the Linux devs will. It impacted a human, and it's a bug regardless of human or non-human touch. Of course, looking at a bug is a matter of priority, always has been.
That I agree with (not instead, in addition)
PoC||GTFO, if it reproduces, it's valuable
wow, everything is broken lol

> That’s subjective obviously. Some folks swear by type systems like Rust’s to catch as many issues as possible. That’s just not how I roll.
Yeah, I like it. I also like not caring about dangling pointers, UAF, and other things, not even because of security. These are just bugs that are not fun to debug.
But I get the appeal of the freedom of C++. Especially if you deal with FFI and low level stuff, Rust either forces you to write safe wrappers (good investment long-term, but not fun to do), or just use lots of unsafe, in which case there's no benefit.
This, and there's also cargo which is convenient.

Then it's no longer C/C++. More like C++/CLI maybe. And it probably gets tricky with FFI. Anyway, keep it up on making the world a safer place :)
Let's not shy away then. What details do you disagree on?
P.S. Also fan of your work. Competition is always good.
That's what I thought too when I first saw it. But then I actually took a moment to read it and eventually changed my mind.
I thought it was about prehistoric Rust before the main branch was created :)

There should be 2 options for speed, regular and sped up. Then there should be a key to speed the game up. When I was a kid, it was the space key for GBA. You could have the normal game and skip the boring parts fast.
Not that spammers couldn't do without this feature, but advertising it as a service is kinda weird.
pseudoanonymous, meaning not anonymous? lol
Looking at the title, I was confused why a recommendation of some random PC gamer is interesting. Capitalization is important.
Hilarious, some of them are easy with the keyboard
It's not so cheap, in terms of maintenance and mental load
