@voklen@secana This feels like an interesting idea. I tought a lot (without success) on how to make progress on complicated technical subjet where a lot of emotions and widely different incompatible designs may coexist. One such example of a complex topic is adding (or not) named arguments to Rust. Maybe your tool cool help to get some sense of all the arguments and even beeing able to take glimpse of the big picture!
@voklen What makes it complicated if when you have a problem with 5 sub-issues, and multiples possible solutions but none of them solves all 5 sub-issues. Even worse, some being more efficicient to solve 1 or 2 sub issue while making the 4th or 5th much worth. If your idea can take care of such complicated and heated debates that would be amazing.
The title says it all: How can we grow the Rust community here on Lemmy? Many users fled Reddit or are here for different reasons. But compared to it’s commercial big brother, the Rust community here, feels more or less dead. I would like to discuss ideas, on how we can changes that and make Lemmy the default for Rust related...
@h3ndrik@Blamemeta I wonder if having fakebut interesting comments would help (ie. written by alt-account of the author) . I noticed that I have significantly higher chances to participate in the conversation if there are already 5-6 comments than 0-2, especially if they open the dialog.
February's TIOBE index has #Fortran as the 11th most popular language, marking its 12th consecutive month in the top 20, beating languages like #Rust, #R, #MATLAB and #Julia. About time to do away with that "Fortran is ancient/dead/obsolete" myth?
lines of code per known vulnerability in #curl, 1998 - 2023. I purposely leave out the last year simply because it is a little too new code there to be fair - and that makes the graph really spike.
Note also that this treats all vulns equal, no matter which severity
@bagder Does this means that we should ignore the right part of the graph (2015 and newer), and wait to see if the quality did effectively increase so much in recent years?
@fasterthanlime I'm the person who wrote it. Don't worry I don't idolate you! It was more a “It's like if we already shook hands in a conference”, nothing more 😀.
But you are totaly right to remind people that an online figure is an online figure. Fortunately I never had the issue of discovering the hard way that someone online is not the characters he/she pretents to be, but is instead is just a jerk. I heard nasty stories so it's important to keep it in mind.
@fasterthanlime That being said I didn't realise that it was indeed a parasoscial relation, thanks for pointing it out. And I also understand better the tone of your response. Have a great day.
What are you working on this week? (Apr. 21, 2024)
Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?
Meta: How can we grow this community?
