You have written tests for your code and now feel safe because your code is tested. But test quality is really hard to measure. The idea seems to be to introduce “vulnerabilities” (whatever that means…) and see if your tests catch them. If they do that’s supposed to show that the tests are good and vice versa.

Well ackshually, any such system with a defined maximum precision can be represented by an integer unit that is small enough, the numbers will just get very big.

Well ackshually real-time describes a mode of processing data where you have hard requirements on when a computation needs to be finished.

That heavily depends on where you live though. The best answer to people objecting to that kind of work is the payroll. If you can support your family with whatever you’re doing it’s none of my business.

That’s so not how onlyfans nor deciding to become a mother works, I don’t even know how to respond to this

What exactly are the consequences relating to becoming a mother?

I’d go by queries executed per day globally. But I wouldn’t be able to tell you which system wins that. If I had to guess I’d say sqlite just because of the insane amount of mobile devices that exist. But maybe that’s wrong.

You don’t know that.

That’s not the tone I like to read even as an answer to a statement I don’t agree with. No need to get that personal.

I’m not saying nobody should work on this. There is obviously demand or at least big tech is assuming demand. I’m just saying it’s not surprising to me a lot of Foss developers don’t really care.

I think the biggest problem is that ai for now is not an exact tool that gets everything right. Because that’s just not what it is built to do. Which goes against much of the philosophy of most tools you’d find on your Linux PC.

Secondly: Many people who choose Linux or other foss operating system do so, at least partially, to stay in control over their system which includes knowing why stuff happens and being able to fix stuff. Again that is just not what AI can currently deliver and it’s unlikely it will ever do that.

So I see why people just choose to ignore the whole thing all together.

I really want to see the zygote approach worked out for electron. It’s working really well for android but with electron there are just too many different versions used by the different programs for that to make sense.

I guess but bios was a thing way before uefi and while it apparently also was a pain because people implemented it differently it did work.

Afaik the mein problem with arm is the discoverability of the hardware on the bus. For x86 it’s pretty dynamic but arm needs something called a device tree.

Especially with android I don’t get it. Every vendor has to maintain their own boot loader and modify the aosp code just to get it to boot on their devices. Is it just to avoid people slapping their own os on their phones?

I never understood why booting arm is such a pain. I mean I get that the current situation is that it is a pain but I don’t get why this is the situation.

Part of it could also be that Germany is exporting a lot of goods, so the wealth is accumulated in Germany but the profits are realized abroad, lending itself to the tax evasion. This situation is probably a result of what you described.

This point advocates against the use of mod with content in a file unless it is used for a testing module. A common pattern is to have the unit tests for a module inside the main module file. Tests in rust are just specially tagged functions. To avoid compilation costs in non-test builds and false unused code warnings you can put all test related code in a submodule and tag that module with #[cfg(test)]. That way the module will only be included and compiled if the crate is being compiled to run tests.

The Star wars thing refers to scrolling long text files similar to the intro of the starwars movies where a long text is scrolled for the viewer.

mod name declares that the module should be compiled and reachable as a submodule of the current module. This assumes that you have a file or directory of the name in the right place. This is what you should do.

You can also declare a module like this: mod name {...} where you just put the content in the block. The two are functionally equivalent, from the compilers perspective.

How was that not your first comment instead of that horrible first comment? This is a very nuanced view on the topic i didn’t expect from someone that said “the US has nothing to do with the war in Gaza”.

I’m not a USA citizen so I won’t comment on the rest.

You think a company run by Elon has an extensive software safety review system?
