  • Nah, it’s just that a whole lot of people, me included, are tired of foolish “but Rust is safe!!!1” propaganda-like shallow screams, like kids getting a new toy.

    Okay, and I’m tired of seeing every Rust-related thread filled with random idiots shitting on Rust for no real reason (often unprompted, with no actual argument other than “hurr durr stupid cult of rust bad hurr durr why use rust when c do trick”) and then go on about how the brilliant, genius, enlightened C programmers will save us with their 3000 IQ brainpower and never make mistakes. It’s just tiring. Every Linux discussion about Rust, every discussion about some software being rewritten in Rust (even by the original developers), every discussion even tangentially related to Rust ends up like this.


  • Yeah, what I was saying was that rather than the basic take URL and just put the file on the filesystem use case (which is in the common case not that difficult with stuff like reqwest or hyper), the other use cases where you for instance use the library to process requests and their responses in non-default or potentially bizarre ways is more likely where there’d be an issue. When I said “extra processing” for requests, I was including for instance potentially dealing with TLS and interactions between underlying libraries and so on with all the various protocols curl supports.





  • Fucking finally. Also from a linked article about their apparent Android PC project:

    Osterloh touched upon Google’s efforts to bring its AI stack to PCs. “This is another way we can leverage all of the great work we’re doing together on our AI stack, our full stack, bringing Gemini models, bringing the assistant, bringing all of our applications and developer community into the PC domain. And I think this is another way in which Android is gonna be able to serve everyone in every computing category.”

    No one gives a shit about your AI crap, just stop ruining AOSP.
