When you’re working at a real systems level c is so much easier to get up and running with. These are hard problems and getting something just to a working stage can be a real challenge. C is also really simple in comparison to those mentioned, and there are a lot of people that enjoy working with c/asm.
Zig is not stable and will not be for sometime. It has a few quirks that bother me, but I look forward to using it more seriously once they release 1.0.
Rust is a different style of programming, that’s not a bad thing, but you can’t fault someone for not liking it. I think it’s great that a lot of people really like rust, that’s awesome, but it’s not perfect. It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of condescension towards other languages coming from rust zealots.
Go’s GC makes it a non starter in certain domains.
C ‘package management’ isn’t that difficult once you understand the tooling, and there’s a lot of freedom that you come to appreciate when you’re writing a driver, bootloader, porting to a custom/exotic os, etc. clangd
works fantastically so it’s not lacking lsp goodies.
Real systems programming is a much smaller field than other disciplines so it does not surprise me that programmers as a whole don’t understand what makes c great.
sudo kill -9 1
fuck you
echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger

That’s essentially what I told my wife last night. If you’re undecided and watched the debate and still are undecided, just admit you’re a Trump voter.
Seems you don’t even trust what your wife has to say, not sure why you’d ‘source’ her and expect everyone else to.
Bogdan’s Erlang Abstract Machine?
I wouldn’t say I’m on OAI’s side here, but I’m down to eliminate copyright. New economic models will emerge, especially if more creatives unionize.
NPS ‘nuke school’ focuses mainly on shipboard nuclear power plant operation, like nuclear powered subs.
My comment was speaking in a general context.
I’ve seen the video and I agree with Ted. Anyone with experience understands creep, and although Wedson denies it it’s exactly where they’re headed. Ted and others are right to voice these concerns and attempt to set very clear expectations for the rust developers.
They took on the task knowing it was experimental, would be difficult, and that they would be second class citizens - you don’t get to agree to the terms and then complain about them later.
The rust community is its own worst enemy. The political infighting and constant compulsion to shit on other languages is a turn off to many, and there are plenty of applications where memory safety is not the highest priority.
If you want to talk about bullying you ought to include all the rust zealots who show up to shit on C every chance they get.
I’ve inserted myself into your C project because only idiots write C. Rust is the one true god, mUh MeMoRy sAfteY! Now please explain to me how C works.
LMAO
if you will have a machine to deploy from
You can run ansible against localhost, so you don’t even need that.
I use ansible + a debian preseed for unattended installs.
I’ve got old apps that won’t work any more.
People give Windows a load of shit… but it’s a million times more usable than Android
Where do you run your old Windows Phone apps nowadays? What about new Windows Phone apps?
sfdisk is a script-oriented tool for partitioning any block device.
The downvotes are hilarious. Being able to drop down to C is one of python’s selling points, and the title of the post includes the name of the python ref implementation __C__Python.
I was initially disappointed in NABJ’s decision to host drumpf, but happy to be wrong when I witnessed him facing a serious interview for the first fucking time. Massive respect to NABJ and the interviewers for tactfully exposing him publicly.
