One of the reasons surely is that it’s getting banned from government software 😅
RCS is supposed to be a distributed protocol, just like SMS, but using data. It is not the same as Signal. Tho, currently, Google is the main provider for almost all phone companies.
RCS is not another chat app.
It’s the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that’s literally the point.
Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.
Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.
XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more “incognito” conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.
Pedantic, but Google Messages’ RCS. And it’s all Google’s fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don’t switch once they finally open up.
They are remaking all apps as native apps so maybe this problem gets addressed too.
Where’s that tool then?
Or you can preinstall micro
like you preinstall everything else 😅
But an AI can “realise” the code might be downloading something it doesn’t need to. That’s the point.
AI is “smart” and understands that you told it that the library was supposed to do something specific, and it can understand that and look for things that seem not correlated to the purpose of the repo.
And all the shortcuts are SANE, not the weird thing of nano
In every post of this kind I am amazed at so many people using nano
instead of micro
which is SO MUCH BETTER while being the same thing at the same time.
Yes, of course, the idea would be something like passing the AI a repo link and a prompt like “this repo is supposed to be used for X, tell me if you find anything weird that doesn’t fit that purpose”.
I understand, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some solution out there that could maybe feed the AI chunks of code without context… It may still be able to detect “hey you told me this software is supposed to do X and here it seems to be doing Y”.
I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of years for these tools to be accessible and affordable.
I am a fan of Python’s or Rust’s official conventions.
For package names, tho, I don’t get why this-is-used over this_clearly_better_system, as I would expect a double click to select_the_whole_thing, whereas it does-not-happen-here.
It is a project! All games are, 😅, just follow the instructions from the README. You’ll be solving Rust exercises on your preferred editor, and get some feedback from a terminal window. It’s great.
The thing is that, in C the API could be slightly different and you could get terrible crashes, for example because certain variables were freed at different times, etc.
In Rust that is literally impossible to happen unless you (very extremely rarely) need to do something unsafe, which is explicitly marked as such and will never surprise you with an unexpected crash.
Everything is so strongly typed that if it compiles… It will run without unexpected crashes. That’s the difference with C code, and that’s why Rust is said to be safe. Memory leaks, etc, are virtually impossible.
Everything is better in Rust. Faster, safer… And also the developer experience is amazing with cargo.
The problem here is not Rust, it’s the humans, it seems.
The dependencies are set manually, of course, and the dev was enforcing something too strict, it seems, and that is causing headaches.
But, as the debian dude has learned… Rust programs will 99.999 % work if they can be compiled.
I just wish every programmer completed the rustlings
game/tutorial. Doesn’t take that long.
I didn’t even fully complete it, and it made me a way better programmer, because it forces you to think RIGHT.
It may sound weird for people who haven’t experienced it, but it’s amazing when you get angry at the compiler and you realise… It is right, and you were doing something that could f*ck you up 2 months in the future.
And after a bit of practise, it starts wiring your brain differently, and now my Python code looks so much better and it’s way more safe just because of those days playing around in rustlings
.
So yeah, Rust is an amazing language for everything, but particularly for kernel development. Either Linux implements it, or it’ll probably die in 30 years and get replaced with a modern Rust kernel.
So my mom shouldn’t use GNU/Linux because she can’t fix bugs?
Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield’s, and basically no one writes like that in my country.
