What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol
Ah, just realized what day it is
East Coast here, it's not even midnight for another 4 minutes!
The world doesnt only exist within the US timezone ;)
I don't understand. I learned in school that America is the only important country in the world.
In the real east coast April 1St ended over an hour ago
I am on the east coast and it had been April 1 for 14 hours when you posted this
But the message says it was sent on March 31st.
Timezones, probably!
They just were so fucking fast they posted to the past.
A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.
I guess next year I'll have to post a joke just after midnight. I'll wake to find confusion and chaos.
Often we are not even included on maps.
the timestamp is generally local for the reader, not the poster.
I guess not rust itself, but people telling them to switch to rust over and over again. They use a lot of assembly magic to get good performance, they aren't in C land.
You can embed Assembly in Rust. A lot of low-level Rust projects embed Assembly.
Totally, though I wouldn't bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into
Although if you're doing it a lot, you've basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.
By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven't checked in a while.
We get it, Rust can suck your dick... and more!
You can Programm microcontrollers with rust, so while rust may not be able to suck your dick directly, you can build a fully automated memory safe dick-sucking-machine with rust.
Isn't buttplug.io written in rust? You can literally have it suck your dick
I often joked, that if South Park made an episode about Rust, the compiler would work with a USB connected dildo, that you must suck every time you want to declare a variable instead of a constant, or go unsafe, also would feature a Cult of Java developers, that argue Java isn't OOP, because you can just suck off the dick of the compiler in the same way, and use static functions and not have a complicated class hierarchy.
I don't see where I said any of the words you just quoted. Impressive if Rust can suck a dick I don't have though, I'll give them that.
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Well
That checks out for xitter
did you know, in spain (or some regions thereof) the "x" is pronounced as sh
