Oh yeah sure it's not the ethics thats actually the problem. I think everybody agrees on the need for a strict ethical framework.
But most of the research institutions that I have been involved with have cared very little about the actual ethical constraints of research (such as data privacy or survey questions that could be triggering) But every single time they will pull you up on the font being too aggressive, whatever that means.
I can't speak for regions other than my own however.
The bureaucracy of a typical ethics review is insane and it neither helps design ethical experiments or set boundaries, it's just paperwork concerned with font type. there's more truth to this than we'd like, which is not ok.
Devils advocate. The m{1,4} chips are nice.
Exactly! I would never PR, extend or build off find.c, And I sure as shit I'm not gonna work on C or C++ in my own free time. However, Rust is really fun to use, and it's got a great ecosystem. In this vein, this is a good thing for the community, and it's not just hype.
The Fish blog post discussed this and I think they had a good point when they were talking about how hard it was to get contributors from a large pool when they were working with C++.
Without a doubt, anything you can do in Rust you can do in C and C++, but I think it's fair to say the large majority of people are going to be more productive in Rust or at least have a more enjoyable development experience.
In large part it's a matter of opinions and different perspectives. A common consensus is libraries should be MIT and entire applications should be GPL. However, this is not held by all community members.
Overall, Rust is easier to read and harder to fuck up, so there's one argument in favour if it, in terms of community engagement. For an example of this, compare ls.c by Apple, GNU, FreeBSd and OpenBSD.
On the other hand, I should imagine most people simply install ripgrep and fd anyway.
Every OS just mentioned can be updated, no support needed? Just overlay the next kernel over the last and all these distros provide a pathway for that.
Moreover, Arch, Void, Gentoo etc are rolling, so no loss of support.
I figure a multi-million dollar company could do the equivalent of exactly that.
Steam Deck is a step in the right direction but a bit too big
That's a fair point. But it also depends on the application as well.
To use the example from earlier, good luck getting Emacs 25 to run on Windows 11.
...but maybe another perspective is that it works really well with Windows because they prioritise backwards compatibility at the expense of development time and they can do that because they're a large company and as a large company the community gets a very little say in the way that their operating system works.
Linux is your operating system. It's community driven and community developed and one of the expenses of that is that users are going to need a higher degree of technical capacity. The trade-off is that you get more privacy, and more say.
However, I believe that it's achievable for most users.
I mean this sincerely, how can I help? I'm not an expert but i did teach this to university students and I'm a big advocate of privacy. What would you like to see?
Yeah I've installed heaps of old apps, it depends on dynamic vs static libraries etc but some people still use Emacs 25...
I have lost power whilst updating, can be a nuisance depending in the distro, but snapshots (zfs and btrfs both work well for me) have been life saving.
Mac and windows simply don't have a lot of quality of life features. Working with them is painful. As self a documenting systems they are fantastic though, however, when I was younger we had things called schools that served to address that gap, these have fallen out of favour in modern times.
Even the fluoride comments can be viewed in a positive light. For example, if the benefits could be achieved through, eg mouthwash, perhaps we shouldn't out it on drinking water.
To be clear I'm not suggesting a policy either way as I'm not an expert. However, it's worth thinking critically without partisan perspectives.
Ratchet and Clank 3 is missing.
Very different. Ggplot is for plotting data using a layered approach in R. Gnuplot is more like a plotting toolkit in itself.
Ggplot looks better with less effort typically. It's comparable to seaborn.
