What do you mean? Rust supports far more platforms.

Also Rust has a lot more inherent safety features than go.

(I think Go is great and its my primary language)


No Rust under OpenBSD i686. Rust on PowerMacs? Alpha?

In terms of compilation of programs Go is far, far easier than Rust. For Rust to compile a random Rust program on the internet one almost always has to have the absolutely latest out of repo compiler toolchain from curl rustup.whatever | sh. The normal 4 year release cycle is incompatible with rust development. For commercial use cases this doesn't matter. But for open source like the tor project it does.

That said, since they use Firefox this bridge has already been burned.


AFAIK if the project has a rust-toolchain.toml[0] file, cargo will download the correct compiler for the project.

I (pro-EU Austrian) think they are great, as they show that we also get huge benefits through our EU membership and that we can do such enormous megaprojects only together

Also, eyesore? What do you have against the EU flag?


> Also, eyesore? What do you have against the EU flag?

I like the EU flag. I do not like the billboards. They just do not look good. Plant an actual flag there instead? I'd prefer that!


Austria is a net contributor to the EU, contributing 30% more than it receives (very roughly contributes 3 billion and receives 2).

Now I am sure that Austria has benefited from EU membership, but this is not one of the areas.


As an Austrian, the benefit is that the funding decision didn't get made at the Austrian level.

The funds are less useful if they're in the hands of our government.


They do get made at national level. That's because, for example, what to build is decided at national level, then they bid for EU funding as part of financing of the project.

Basically yoy bid to get some of your money back...


Yes - the final decision whether the money gets spent is at the EU level.

Which is much better than at the Austrian politics level.


One can only bring a horse to water...

Austria is probably giving EU more money than it receives, so how is that going to help?

But would Austria have used its money for a European transit corridor if not for the EU?

Im just a consooomer and upvoting you. Nobody wants more slop...

I suspect most consumers feel the same way. Zealous AI boosters— they are extremely over represented here— do not.

Another "interesting" related thing I found is that pid 1 signals are handled differently in the kernel. Basically, SIGTERM is ignored and you need to explicitly handle it in your program. Took me quite a while before I found out why my program in a container didn't quit gracefully...

I also use Talos, but I wonder if just using systemd for the init process wouldn't have been easier. You can interface with systemd in go quite easily anyways...

s6 (perhaps with s6-rc) is another interesting option. One could say it’s less opinionated than systemd. Or perhaps it’s more correct to say it has another set of opinions.

Is this the one in the Cable Matters 102101-BLK DP->HDMI adapter?

As an Infrastructure Engineer who used it: I blame people who didnt help fund/maintain it (including ourselves)

Many TV manufacturers are part of the HDMI forum...

https://hdmiforum.org/members/


Here's a stupid question: per the site, "any entity wishing to make an active and material contribution to the development of future HDMI Specifications" can join the HDMI Forum for $15,000 p.a., and the Board of Directors is elected by majority vote by members.

Is there anything other than the money and desire to do so stopping 100 well-heeled Linux users from joining up and packing the board with open source-friendly directors who would as their first official act grant AMD permission to release its driver?


This sounds like what microsoft did to get their Office formats standardised by ISO. Paid membership to a bunch of folk and had the vote in favour of approving the standard. (I'm summarising *a lot*, but that's the general gist of it).

You’d want to submarine it because the forum could change its rules in “defense”.

But yes, it wouldn’t be much to do.


Sounds like a conflict of interest

Or you can take this as a sign that the linux kernel adapts modern programming languages so that more programmers can contribute :)

> the linux kernel adapts modern programming languages so that more programmers can contribute :)

I'm eagerly awaiting the day the Linux kernel is rewritten in Typescript so that more programmers can contribute :)

Its literally against the first of the four essential freedoms of Free and Open Source Software

> The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
