“learn Rust” in this case is learn it to a level where all of the little behaviour around cross language integrations are understood and security flaws won’t be introduced. Expert level.

It’s not “I did a pet project over the weekend”.

equivalent to one in every £3 spent.

Why not just say that ⅓ of money spent was on contracts that had red flags? That’s what they mean, but they’re trying to make it sound more damning and speaking nonsense.

Journalists and numbers is a bad mix.

On the topic of the actual story, I’m not surprised. When are we going to bring a case?

The better response was “It’s my private study and I can have any pictures I want in it”. Unfortunately he said that second.

I’m trying to understand Git, but it’s a giant conceptual leap.

To start with, start with just using git locally. Don’t worry about GitHub or similar. Then git and SVN will work very similarly. The main difference is that you need to git add files with changes inside before you commit them.

Once you’re comfortable with using it by yourself, then I suggest running something like forgejo locally to be your own code server. Then you can play and learn how the two parts work together.

Generally, you need to give yourself a little time. You need to do the work. Be efficient…sure, but don’t try to force it to be quicker than the time you need to learn.

Right, so you just have a single step and then hand over to a proper script. I’ve seen many people try to put much more complex logic in there before handing over to a proper language.

Right. It’s the “People’s car”. The strategy was in the name.

…with our expensive EVs…

They can’t compete on price primarily.

Woosh!

There is no genocide untill every last one of them is dead.

Config is fine, but Yamls biggest problem is people use it to describe programs. For example: playbooks. For example: CI steps.

If YAML wasn’t abused in this way it would have a lot less hate.

Sometimes your longest serving engineers can be your biggest anchor. Good engineers are (justifyably) highly opinionated about what can be done, but sometimes it turns into “what I do works, so all other ways are wrong”. At that point the best move for them might be to go learn how somebody else does it. Wish them well, and back a different horse.

Often the money if far more than the individual realises.

1. Depending on the country, there may be taxes or other benefits which rise to the same degree or more.

2. Members of the team or grade need to be paid amounts which are within some range so that everything is fair.

You may feel you’re worth more than the majority of others, but it’s rarely the truth.

A VP was brought in at the company I used to work for that claimed “I need to offer candidates substantial increases or else I won’t attract top talent”. He started hiring people at a significantly higher rate. (I left at this point) Soon, the other engineers found out and all hell broke loose. They demanded equal pay.

The company is currently in financial difficulties. The salary bill got too big. They’re now struggling to complete the projects underway because they’ve had to cut staff and the 40yo company is probably going to be swallowed up.

Ticketmaster have been price gouging events for decades. This was just where they ended up because regulators have let them get away with it.

Well we had to vote in a whole new government and then wait for them to get back from holiday.

From a exterior perspective China is not it’s people. It’s people are silenced. China’s words and actions are only those of the leadership. It would be wonderful if we heard the voice of the people when dealing with China. Sadly we have to deal with their subjugators.

Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.

Your XOrg conf ig has got hard definitions of your devices which aren’t matching what is being detected. Probably best to let auto detection do it’s thing.

Arch people tell you “I use arch BTW”

Rust people make PRs rewriting your code in rust.

Rust people are worse.

Memory ownership isn’t the only source of vulnerabilities. It’s a big issue, sure, but don’t think rust code is invulnerable.

That’s disengenuous though.

• We’re not forcing you to learn rust. We’ll just place code in your security critical project in a language you don’t know.

• Rust is a second class citizen, but we feel rust is the superior language and all code should eventually benefit from it’s memory safety.

• We’re not suggesting that code needs to be rewritten in rust, but the Linux kernel development must internalise the need for memory safe languages.

No other language community does what the rust community does. Haskellers don’t go to the Emacs project and say “We’d like to write Emacs modules, but we think Haskell is a much nicer and safer functional language than Lisp, so how about we add the capability of using Haskell and Lisp?”. Pythonistas didn’t add Python support to Rails along side Ruby.

Rusties seem to want to convert everyone by Trojan horsing their way into communities. It’s extremely damaging, both to those communities and to rust itself.

Right, but it killed the public mood of the new government being viewed in a positive light just because they won and forced the Tories out. The party mood… the honeymoon period was over.
