The two positives they give are portability and crate (Rust library) availability. To the first, portability, you literally can't get more portable than C, and in fact this is one point holding Rust back for core parts of the Linux kernel, lack of portability. To the second, [04:08] MinceR because that's how open-minded "republicans" are [04:08] Sompi the package management system of Rust, Cargo, is literally just npm. It's designed first and foremost for Windows and Mac systems, not Linux. In fact, C and its system libraries go hand in hand with UNIX/Linux. I have generally supported Rust in the kernel, but this really does seem to be such a fundamental change to the GNU/Linux system, especially regarding the license, that I've recently begun to [04:08] Sompi question the whole Rust for Linux project, its motivations and ultimate goals." [04:09] MinceR IsambardPrince: i suspect that his administration is just going to cherry-pick the effects of such a ruling [04:09] MinceR the party of "law and order" hasn't given a single fuck about rule of law in ages [04:21] IsambardPrince MinceR, Then others can use the precedent. [04:21] IsambardPrince If your criminal conviction hinged on a law you can prove was signed by autopen, you can get that conviction reversed. [04:21] IsambardPrince This should be interesting.

[21:49] IsambardPrince So he had to go kill the guy that was trying to take over the ship. [21:50] IsambardPrince The Peacekeepers were basically human, but they were genetically engineered to be much more evolved. But they can't stand heat. It eventually causes brain death. [21:50] IsambardPrince So humans have one biological advantage over Peacekeepers. We don't die as easily in hot environments. [21:51] MinceR "genetically engineered to be much more evolved" doesn't make much sense, but i guess it comes from the show [21:51] IsambardPrince I recall one episode where they jacked up the temperature on the ship when it got boarded and Crighton could still function but the Peacekeepers started passing out. [21:51] IsambardPrince Well, the idea was that the beings that made them took humans from Earth and tweaked us to speed up all the more desirable attributes. Nothing like that would have ever happened naturally. [21:52] IsambardPrince The problem was that they didn't fundamentally change the human desire for power and conquest. [21:52] IsambardPrince So they worked too well. [21:53] IsambardPrince Sort of along the lines of the Augments from Star Trek I guess. [21:53] MinceR so they were genetically engineered to be superior in some respects [21:53] MinceR not evolved [21:53] admfubar rippling's believe it or not... https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/03/18/0436243/software-startup-rippling-sues-competitor-deel-claiming-a-spy-carried-out-corporate-espionage [21:53] TR Bot Software Startup Rippling Sues Competitor Deel, Claiming a Spy Carried Out 'Corporate Espionage' - Slashdot [21:55] admfubar aaawww poor hollywood... https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/03/18/000234/hollywood-urges-trump-to-not-let-ai-companies-exploit-copyrighted-works [21:55] TR Bot Hollywood Urges Trump To Not Let AI Companies 'Exploit' Copyrighted Works - Slashdot [21:56] MinceR https://ircz.de/p/25030347 [21:56] TR Bot WHOOPSIE [21:59] *psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.6 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) ● Mar 18 [22:02] *IsambardPrince has quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:05] admfubar https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=25/03/18/0150258 [22:06] TR Bot Unearthed Notebooks Shed Light on Victorian Genius Who Inspired Einstein - SoylentNews [22:14] Sompi schestowitz[TR2]: http://paste.dy.fi/6ES/plain [22:18] admfubar https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/18/microsoft_trend_flaw/ [22:18] TR Bot Microsoft isn't fixing 8-year-old zero day used for spying The Register [22:19] *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@5ppxyh6xw7cc6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:19] IsambardPrince https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rfk-jr-next-targets-companies-154844689.html [22:19] TR Bot RFK Jr.s Next Targets Are Companies Making Baby Formula [22:19] IsambardPrince MinceR, A crackdown on poppers and baby formula in this week's Make America Healthy Again. [22:20] MinceR one of those has got to stop measles, right? [22:20] IsambardPrince I've said for over 20 years someone from FDA should go knock heads at those companies that make poppers. [22:20] IsambardPrince So it's difficult to criticize this in particular. [22:20] IsambardPrince But poppers do not cause AIDS. [22:20] MinceR i suspect the 'R' in 'RFK' stands for 'Retard' [22:21] IsambardPrince They're a drug that disgusting people use, typically during unprotected sex, which can spread HIV, but it's the unprotected sex that's spreading the HIV. [22:21] IsambardPrince So taking the drug away doesn't make the people less disgusting. [22:21] IsambardPrince Unless it makes it more likely they wear condoms, there's going to be just as much HIV. [22:22] IsambardPrince "The study, from nonprofit group Consumer Reports, revealed Abbotts EleCare Hypoallergenic and Similac Alimentum products had the highest levels of inorganic arsenic among the 41 powdered formulas tested. Reckitts Enfamil Nutramigen had, in some cases, twice the amount of lead as other products tested." [22:22] IsambardPrince I don't have any particular complaint about cracking down on baby formula contamination either. [22:22] IsambardPrince I would do that. [22:23] MinceR i'm sure they'll have an explanation for their failure. they always do. and it's always someone else's fault. [22:23] MinceR it's always laughable and billions of idiots always believe it [22:24] IsambardPrince MinceR, A much bigger source of lead is the lead water pipes that deliver the water that goes into breastmilk or baby formula. [22:24] IsambardPrince So they should double down on replacing lead pipes. [22:24] MinceR but that sounds like work [22:25] MinceR it also sounds like something a reasonable person might have already suggested decades ago [22:25] MinceR so they're not doing that [22:25] IsambardPrince The city I live in has decided to use city money and interest free loans from the State along with the EPA grants to replace the lead pipes at no cost to homeowners. [22:25] IsambardPrince Chicago is charging homeowners for part of the cost. [22:25] MinceR you can't spell 'homeowner' without 'meow' [22:25] MinceR are the homeowners protesting that they're being charged for getting lead-free pipes yet? [22:25] IsambardPrince And you can't spell manslaughter without 'laughter'. [22:25] MinceR indeed [22:26] IsambardPrince MinceR, Surprisingly, Laughner's was not pronounced like you'd expect. [22:26] MinceR :> [22:26] IsambardPrince "Loff" not "Laff" [22:27] IsambardPrince Laughner's was a cafeteria restaurant chain. [22:27] IsambardPrince It's closed now so I guess it doesn't matter.

[22:35] IsambardPrince I told them "I don't think you're doing what you think you're doing." [22:35] IsambardPrince They bought the peak, and they lost half their money in two months.
