Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

No, I haven’t tried Tutanota because I can’t use a client I want. I decided PGP encryption is something I can do client side anyway on the rare case I want it.

IMO Gmail -> Thunderbird is a bit flawed since you’d still need a service provider. It could be Thunderbird + Posteo / others (please no ProtonMail).

Yep, we disagree. The world and technology especially is an extremely complicated place. IMO any complex system that is built upon “humans should just know all this complexity and keep it in mind all the time” is fundamentally broken.

I think you’re saying the same thing as what I am. If it’s more complex than what you may think, the language should guard against it. If not, it should make it simple.

Rust, for example, is the only mainstream language where it isn’t possible to read from a file handle after it’s been closed. Doing so is a compilation failure. This is just a general invariant of “how to use files”.

But you also don’t need to think about allocating or deallocating memory in Rust. It does that fke you automatically, even though it’s not GC.

JS can also be complicated when it tries to hide realities about the world. E.g. is a const array or object immutable? No, the pointer is. But pointers don’t exist! /s

I mean, this is correct in many cases, unironically.

It should be one of the core purposes of a programming language to help humans to write the code they intend. If a language doesnt do that then it’s bad.

it’s not

it is

years are a unit of time and you can’t count time

wtf lmfao

No, it isn’t just hype. The hype is justified.

Outside of security you have some very really world benefits, like performance gains in various scenarios as well as lots more people willing to contribute and a much better type system (more maintainability).

I’m of the opposite opinion. Maxing out spending time with mom and dad means less healthy social interactions and growth for your child. I want them to have a separation where they have a teacher, a class and friends, and not feel they can run to me or are distracted by me.

The children I’ve seen who were raised at home are miles behind our child in terms if development.

Bringing a child to work seems worse - they can’t play with toys or engage in what they want at all anymore. They’d be subjected fk whatever the mom and dad have to do. They also have no friends or structured learning.

The daycares we’ve used have been fantastic and care a lot about teaching our child in many ways they wouldn’t otherwise have.

1. Doesn’t matter if it’s relatively a lot. It is objectively a lot of money. They could have donated it to a worthy cause like starving people.
2. It’s Trump. They should have donated $0.
3. It doesn’t matter if they’re democratically elected or not. Being elected doesn’t mean you’re good.

I feel like bananas would be cold as hell if they were growing that fast.

Is it actually Made I’m Germany? Or is this just a German store which sells keyboard Made in China?

If you voted for Harris / Clinton then you’re just giving the DNC more power to push ineffective candidates we didn’t ask for, which is an even greater vote for Trump.

See? It works both ways.

If you didn’t vote for Trump, you didn’t vote for Trump.

The strategy to stop a lot of people from voting for Trump should be campaigning / education. It should not be to push people to vote for someone they don’t want to.

Maybe i should start saying I make $90 billion a year as a tax optimization

Lol lots of assumptions being made here.

That’s not nit picky.

That’s been debunked - we get so few minerals from water for our diet that it’s almost nothing anyway. Almost everything is from solid foods or non-water liquids.

Curious if anyone can weigh in on this - is there much benefit to having fluorinated drinking water if you brush twice a day with fluorinated toothpaste and rinse with flourinated mouthwash?

I distill all my drinking water, but it’s to remove PFAS and all the other garbage we’ve polluted the earth with. Not because of flouride.

Just like Google
