Tsoding has created a few rules for writing Rust to make Rust “fun” to program in, and gave them the name of Crust.

Here is the rule set (it may change over time):

1. Every function is unsafe.
2. No references, only pointers.
3. No cargo, build with rustc directly.
4. No std, but libc is allowed.
5. Only Edition 2021.
6. All user structs and enums #[derive(Clone, Copy)].
7. Everything is pub by default.

If you ever want to try this out for some ungodly reason, there’s a GitHub repository with an example Main that shows how to use libc and other libraries (in the example, it’s raylib), and with a Makefile showing how to compile your projects (remember we aren’t using cargo).

OP, I don’t think you’ve correctly linked to the post (when I visit the linked webpage, the browser tries to download an ActivityPub activity instead of showing the post in the Mastodon web UI). Please replace the link with this one.

Wait, now I need to know why.

I went to check why the hell this happened. It looks like the pair (“(,)”) is defined as an instance of Foldable, for some reason, which is the class used by functions like foldl() and foldr(). Meanwhile, triples and other tuples of higher order (such as triples, quadruples, …) are not instances of Foldable.

The weirdest part is that, if you try to use a pair as a Foldable, you only get the second value, for some reason… Here is an example.

ghci> foldl (\acc x -> x:acc) [] (1,2)

This makes it so that the returned length is 1.

Are those Turing complete? (Legit question, I’d love to know)

The boss fires both, “replaces” them for AI, and tries to sell the corposhill’s dataset to companies that make AIs that write generic fantasy novels

We’re just talking about this, but I might as well do it! Do you per chance have an archive of ASCII cats?

And “AI agent” as in an algorithm that returns the cats every second, obviously.

That doesn’t work in my LaTeX renderer. :( Does it require any packages? (/lh)

Do you know which GTK version you had installed before updating?

And, as we all know, those two buttons are…

What do you think they should be saying?

Are you Odysseus or smth?

You just need to write the alt text inside the square brackets, like this:

![Write the alt text here](example.com/this-is-where-you-write-the-link-to-the-image)

This works in pretty much every platform that accepts Markdown images. If you want a reference for what Markdown syntax Lemmy supports, read this page.

What about Malbolge?

But when Firebase gets that network/IP change report, what information does it get? Because if it only gets the public IP address, the reported IP will still be the VPN one, not the real one, right? So, if that were the only information reported to Firebase, wouldn’t you still be protected? Does Firebase block requests when you’re using a VPN (this could be detected, for example, if certain aspects of the network have changed but the IP hasn’t)? Is that what you mean with not getting push notifications when simulating a local IP with filters?

PS: From my research, the WiFi’s SSID can also be used to track someone’s whereabouts, but depending on where you are and how many networks have used the same SSID, it may work work well or badly. You can see that by going to https://wigle.net/ (which is a database on WiFi networks with some publicly-available information), go to the map, type in the SSID field, and click “Filter”. I’m not sure if Firebase gets that info in the network reports, but I find it likely that it does.

What was the error you got when you ran yt-dlp?

So I interpreted this interview the wrong way. This changes everything!

Thank you for letting me know that I was making a misinformed comment. I’m editing it as we speak.

EDIT: I apologize to everyone who has so far read this comment. I misunderstood what Linus Torvalds meant in the interview I mentioned. I thought he was just calling the Russian kernel contributors “Internet trolls”, be he was actually referring to Russian “troll farms” taking advantage of the controversy generated by how the Linux Foundation removed the Russian devs from kernel development without saying a word, to entice outrage and try to get the Foundation’s decision reversed. (afaik they had to do it because the US government ordered them to, and the foundation is hosted in the US.) I’m leaving the post in its original form for posterity.

I think the way Torvalds treated the Russian kernel maintainers that got silently removed from development (a situation that, by itself, was completely mishandled) was awful to say the least. In a interview, he said they were all Internet trolls, and referenced conflicts between Finland and Russia to “explain” his disdain for Russians. Say what you want, but I usually call a person that judges others based on their country of birth alone, an asshole. Not just that, but such behaviour sounds extremely ungrateful when we are talking about people who contributed in extremely important ways to Torvalds’ biggest project of his life. I used to have a positive view of Torvalds, but this kind of ruined it for me.
