That doesn’t mean things can’t get better. Rust is a step in the right direction

OpenSSL has proven itself to be security issue riddled, unmaintainable, bloated. It’s only lasted so long because people had the impression it was good, but it has proven itself unreliable

Rustls can already replace OpenSSL, but maybe that’s not serious enough for you. Sure, the ring backend embeds assembly for the crypto operations, but that’s the point:

You can have a safe interface for interacting with potentially unsafe code. Do all of the memory allocation and string manipulation stuff in Rust and call out to crypto in assembly

Let’s not get too abstract. Just because Rust made its own mistakes doesn’t mean it didn’t fix the mistakes I pointed out

Serious projects have huge memory safety issues that don’t exist in Rust. More than half of security CVEs are due to the nature of C. Rust just has fewer bugs like Heartbleed because it doesn’t let you do a buffer overrun

50K? You kidding me? Our shitty shopping cart application is 300K lines of code plus html/css

It’s mostly php

I don’t use languages that can subvert the type system with null, it’s an obvious flaw

Nobody is arguing C is complex. The argument is that it’s not the optimal syntax.

For example, case statements needing breaks can cause logical issues with incorrect merges.

How about this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreachable_code#goto_fail_bug

The if statement not requiring brackets caused this bug. Rust fixes these issues with pattern matching and mandatory curly braces in if body statements

This is why you don’t write C, after a while this looks normal and sane

Yes, C syntax is easy understand

Oops hit the wrong key, main drive formatted

What do you mean by persistent undo? Never used helix before

I got so used to PS UI I can’t figure out Gimp. That’s why I use Krita

I bought a Pixel Fold because when closed it’s a one handed device. I mostly use the inner screen when traveling so I don’t need to bring a tablet

But that’s a thing when you get when you buy laptops made by Chinese OEMs

Can’t you just like not verify Windows and just use it anyway

Yes, I’d prefer Taiwanese companies to get the money over Chinese ones

Why do you want to ship the rest of the profits to China over Taiwan

That just means they assemble it, test that it works and disassemble to pack the DIY kit, lol

I remember framework posting that it takes more work to pack the DIY kits.

Not my issue that gnome sucks, I use KDE and hi DPI works for me

There are issues, but at least Framework releases firmware updates
