Is this a joke? I'm not clever enough to get it.

If you can write correct C++ you'll be able to write Rust code that compiles first time. Don't stress, you're learning the good stuff.

PLAN 6 is the best (self.hurtdesk)
submitted 11 months ago by thomask to c/hurtdesk

The odd numbered versions of PLAN have always been buggy and unpopular and I think Bell Labs is using their monopoly to push everybody to update to PLAN 9 even if they need a new computer with a third mouse button. What is your favourite PLAN?

It's best not to think of SDF admins in binary terms like "present" or "absent". They are an undulating force which makes changes here and there and we're all along for the ride.

I’d rather go to the local library and ask the clerk for a search term

Sounds kind of relaxing tbh

IME something like Signal is an easy sell since it's simple and works well. For all the fair criticism about relying on phone numbers it makes the onboarding easy. For other things compartmentalising helps, e.g., "okay we'll collaborate using this cloud file storage but I personally will be accessing it through the browser while keeping most of my files in a SyncThing over here". While I self-host certain things I don't volunteer to do that for family/friends because it will be too frustrating for everyone if/when I let them down.

In this kind of situation there's a fine line between someone who maximises their privacy through tech decisions and someone who makes their "correct" tech choices their self identity. If you drift into the latter, being asked to compromise can feel like an attack, leading to overreacting and coming across as insecure and annoying. Not to psychoanalyse anyone in particular but sometimes I think people need a reminder.

I recall that if you elude the monster long enough by catching enough logs you eventually wrap around to the start of the course and can ski down it again, and you get an additional monster chasing you when you get to the bottom.

One approach I'm personally fond of is actor-style async programming with tokio. It's easy to mingle timers with receiving messages from channels, which is quite powerful. This post by Alice Rhyl is a good description of the idea: https://ryhl.io/blog/actors-with-tokio/

Tbh I've had a soft spot for him ever since the Sith Jar Jar theory.

Yes. The interaction with the Rust Foundation is described in the linked RFC.

The Council is responsible for establishing the process for selecting Project directors. The Project directors are the mechanism by which the Rust Project's interests are reflected on the Rust Foundation board.

The Council delegates a purview to the Project directors to represent the Project's interests on the Foundation Board and to make certain decisions on Foundation-related matters. The exact boundaries of that purview are out of scope for this RFC.
