apparently I was flagged as a bot at one point

You don’t get “flagged” as a bot, it is a user setting in your preferences. You should fix it so that you are not marked as a bot.

What do all you guys use these setups for?

Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.

Why not?

The Free Software Foundation explicitly forbade tivoization in version 3 of the GNU General Public License. However, although version 3 has been adopted by many software projects, the authors of the Linux kernel have notably declined to move from version 2 to version 3.

How come Linux doesn’t use GPL v3?

I wouldn’t say it’s truly decentralised in its current state.

Such a gem of a movie

Should the government collect taxes on the buoyant times but then refund them during market downturns? That would be a nightmare. No government wants to be on the hook for refunds during a downturn.

AFAIK Danish tax on stock gains/losses works like this. Stock gains are heavily taxed while stock losses give you a tax rebate.

Definitely not Python. Rust is very nice though.

It’s funny how it used to be expensive. In Danish we have a saying to say someone is poor if “they can’t even afford salt for their egg”, as if an egg is cheaper than salt. Because it actually used to be that way.

You can’t get data races at least, and in practice it’s very difficult to get actual race conditions.

(I assume you left out a “not” there)

You should definitely give Rust a shot. It is only conceptually similar to C++ but otherwise very different.

interfaces with external IO

How would you run into a race condition like this with safe Rust? You can’t share mutable file handles between threads for example. I’m not sure you’re correct in saying its still possible. Even if it is, it doesn’t sound easy.

Honestly I would consider that a bit weird. At the very least, old-fashioned. If you like Java, it makes me think you haven’t tried a better more modern language to compare it with.

I don’t particularly like Java, but I use it because it pays the bills. Similarly, I use C++ (which I prefer) when my work requires it.

I mean, anon is not arguing against that. They’re saying the language is shit regardless of how much it is used in business. I don’t think they are entirely wrong.

Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you’re shit at it.

Well, if you write Rust then there won’t be race conditions.

Java is industrial strength for professionals.

Disagree. It’s an outdated tool today. Professionals would not choose it for new projects.

You dropped this: /s

Please don’t accuse me of lying. Upvotes obviously influence the feed. I am aware that hexbear has disabled downvotes.

If you were on reddit at the time when /r/the_donald was a menace, you should know how harmful even upvotes can be.

One more vote for using WASM. Using WASM has the benefit of allowing the user to use almost whatever language they want, as long as it can compile to WASM. So the user doesn’t have to learn some bespoke scripting-specific language.

Their votes will still influence your feed though. In that way, you don’t get to choose entirely freely what you want to see, they will influence what you see as well.
