In a noosphere where 25% qualifies as "mostly" - agreed....

[lowflyer]

Isn't "rust" and "crash reporter" not a contradiction in itself? ... an oxymoron?

[lowflyer]

So you basically confirm my suspicion: tiling window managers are so easy to code that it will soon replace all these "hello world" examples...

[lowflyer]

"Yay! Python is the best" - Isn't this the same thing as being the best football team of Greenland?

[lowflyer]

What is it with this inflation of "tiling window manager"'s? Have they become so easy to code that everybody and his aunt wants to "have...

Wouldn't it be better if Intel would invest a thought or two into preventing such stupid leaks *before* they go and claim new speed records?

Even if this driver will never achieve a real-world use, The experience this coder gathered through this exercise is priceless!

BTW: I've...

It's time to abandon ship...

Just an observation: there are some really stinking C++ haters in this forum here.

Dear anda_skoa ,

Your personal iron-clad definition of what a web engine is makes it impossible to get the slightest point through to you....

[lowflyer]

Dear anda_skoa,

You give away the impression of a language purist. You only accept the term "web engine" for your specific definition...

[lowflyer]

Dear anda_skoa , let me do that again - a little bit more obvious - in the hopes you understand it this time.


I retract my condolences....

So, you are saying the following is not a mixture of Javascript and CSS ...

QML is the Qt company's new "declarative language". KDE recently makes heavy use of it. It is based on web technologies (CSS, Javasrcipt etc.)....

[lowflyer]

Creating a QML app that uses a web engine... I'll end up with an app that uses two web engines.

[lowflyer]

Well, therein is the problem. The same people to which you "give ... sufficient tools to wield against ..." will become the people "who've...

[lowflyer]

Either you live under a rock or you fell for the trap of equalizing C with C++. - I don't expect you to be a rowdy Linus-rant-repeater.

...

[lowflyer]

That's where I disagree. This is not the trap. You're correct saying *WE* can't fix individual people. We cannot. But we don't have to. People can only...

[lowflyer]

It would neither be an issue for C++ in the Linux kernel. - Or - It would be *the same* issue at least.

I'm not a prophet but let me predict...

[lowflyer]

Correct. But the thing is that in the context of the kernel, both - rust and C++ - have similar upsides and downsides. Why is rust accepted now while...
