No one’s saying the points raised are not valid, just that there’s no need to be a cunt about it in what should be a professional setting.

IMO, if a developer finds Rust too difficult to learn, they probably shouldn’t be writing kernel code in the first place.

I actually introduced rust to my workplace this week, with a workshop reimplementing part of one of our service.

It seems people liked it. Now I want to look into how we could create Conan packages (to be consumed by c++ code) out of crates. I guess I’ll use the CXX crate to generate C++ headers, but other than that I don’t know.

I’m hoping federation will allow me to get rid of my github entirely, but that’s wishful thinking I fear

Maybe they should have actually made a point then

In case you’re serious, not everyone is a native speaker.

So it’s not for unit tests, that’s where the confusion stems

Ghidra is open source?! How did I miss this!

Forgejo is a gitea fork, it’s got nothing to do with gitlab

Not the most at fault, but if you sign off on a shitty process, you are still partially responsible

My HR told me I could no longer email bills, but instead had to give them the original paper. I’m afraid somebody there will have a heart attack when I tell them that that PDF file is the original.

Instagram too, hardly a Chinese problem

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback, I did rush the documentation bit…

I wanted the configuration to serve as documentation to explain some of the points above, but that’s not clear given the readme.

Ahah yes I remember your answer to one other post few days ago. Tbf disk usage was a problem for me so I had my reasons to throw that in there. That plus this process sleeps 99% of the time

How does this tool translate “Taiwan is de-facto an independent country that should follow its own path, rather than be integrated to the mainland.” to Chinese (simplified)?

And some good management. Probably not a common opinion around here, but my company is not a tenth of that size, with a hundredth the number of devs, yet different teams still end up copy pasting libraries. Because it’s faster than convincing management DevOps is important.

That Ted seems to be on a crusade of his own.

Hard disagree on your first point. Name the flags with descriptive name, move this initialisation to a function, and there you go, self-documented and clear code.

Linux is already a popular and viable desktop OS - for its target audience.

The downvote comes from you implying people cannot dev in Linux when its the platform of choice for this workload.

Now surely the user experience could be polished, but advanced users are at this point used to the workflow, and basic ones will stick to Windows out of inertia no matter what. Therefore the incentive for improving this kind of things is extremely low.

I think the point is that the variable itself is an Option. Your example only works for literal Option (although the value inside the optional itself might not be a literal).

One option to OP’s problem is to use an auxiliary trait implemented on both string and Option<string>
