Also, Foundation members have no say on the direction of the language.

I was kinda surprised as well that you couldn't annotate the function or something. But then again, an attribute like "please don't use this instruction" sounds like something that's pretty hard to integrate in the code generation. What kind of flag would you use? I don't think you want to apply that flag to everything, just to that particular function.

My instance runs on a dedicated server at hetzner, from their server auction. My price only increased like 3%, which is honestly lower than inflation given how many years we've been at that price point. So I'm completely fine with it. I've not heard of these enormous price hikes before.

I honestly don't think that is very usual. I would even say it's more usual to see bare links posted, at least if I look in my own feed. But maybe that's just the sort of stuff I follow.

Fuck the commission.

The EU is definitely a net-positive thing, but the way the commission works is too undemocratic for my tastes. Stop Killing Games seem to have wider support in the parliament, which is the actual democratically elected part of the EU. The commission and all the other undemocratic parts should just be abolished honestly.

What do you mean?

European English

Is this a thing? Isn't it just "British English"?

Sure, but the point of this post is to highlight Bambu's anticonsumer practices.

I've been considering what printer to buy for a while now, but I sure as hell know it won't be a Bambu.

catch_unwind [...] does not guarantee the program is in a consistent state afterward, since Drop impls may have run partway through.

Wait, what? Any more details about this, I've never heard about that before. Partially run Drop impls sounds like a big potential for undefined behavior, how could catch_unwind possibly cause that?

EDIT: The more I read this article, the more AI-generated it looks and so I'm sort of wondering if the above quote is just complete bogus.

I think it was a very fair take on some of the issues that Linux has and totally get that they are partially staying on Windows for certain niches - hopefully those niches can be supported by Linux soon! I really resonate with the points that Linus brought up about the community. The community honestly often bites itself in the foot. People need to be more welcoming and saying "you don't need X" to someone literally asking for X is just rude and unhelpful. We need to acknowledge people's preferences and choices and their user experience.

he’ll never be able to put out those fires without you.

Why do you say that? I would guess that we are very few years away before we have AI systems monitoring for downtimes and such that can quickly diagnose and fix issues that occur completely automatically - in fact I would not be surprised if this already exists today.

Which model are you using? My experience is that it can definitely do "standard boilerplate". What programming language are you using?
