I'm still very happy with the experience, especially the UX and customisation options, and they're developing new features fast. Not always successfully at first, e.g. the recent integration of WolframAlpha isn't entirely a step forward (mostly because they're not displaying the extra context that WA shows that lets you know when it's answering the wrong question).

I think overall most people are very happy, as shown by the frequent recommendations on here (so much so that someone on Lemmy was telling everyone it must be astroturfing).

This is a great little piece, although relevant to developing generally, not just Rust.

Who won? I think nobody really.

Good summary.

The author has no idea how to get his audience on-side! He starts with bragging about his 6400% profit margin on domain he resold, in a market where there's no customer value for middlemen.

At least antique dealers will identify pieces as rare, clean/restore them and put them for sale in a more visible place. Whereas domain reselling is about as ethical as ticket touting.

I'm not subscribed to any of those communities, but I occasionally see that content and I'd be against it being blocked entirely. I appreciate that you might get legal advice that overrules my preferences, though.

I think season 4 was the peak, and it looks like that's a common opinion: https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/game-of-thrones-ratings-26649/

The episodes remain highly rated until the last season, although those of us who had read the books were complaining more before then - for me it was the combining of characters in a way that created plot armour, which ruined a big part of what made GoT great.

He's one of my main recommendations for anyone even vaguely interested in sci-fi. Sad news.

Null comes to Rust!

Well, nul-byte terminated strings, anyway.

Well GoT was good until they ran out of source material and the 3BP books are all out so maybe we'll avoid it falling off a cliff.

I read the books back when they came out and I'm pretty fuzzy on the details now, so I'm not going to be able to complain about what they've changed.

I like the idea of having more "intent" markers; /s seems to be the only one people recognise (and I've seen some on here push back against it as a Reddit thing).

Which is why we shouldn't have phonetic spelling!

For me it's more like
/wɒts ʌp? wɒz dʌg gənə kʌm? dʌg lʌvz bɹʌnʧ. nɜːʔɜː dʌgz stʌk kʌz ɒv ə tʌnəl əbstɹʌkʃən. ə tɹʌk dʌmpt ə tʌn ɒv ʌnjənz. əχ./

(Gimsonian, anyway, I like the newer, more logical style that would have nurse be /nəːs/)

Clever work, well done to the researchers.
