Stack and pin terminals: Zellij 0.42.0 brings a revised interface

Several command lines can be used in parallel in the Zellij terminal multiplexer. In the update to 0.42.0, applications can be moved to the background.

I am not really comfortable with uutils, sadly.
Even thou a rewrite in Rust is a nice idea, and I do like the initiative - I do not like the MIT-licensing at all.

https://github.com/uutils/coreutils

I really wish #uutils was under a copyleft license. It’s cool but using it just makes it easier for mega corps to lock down things even more. Yah #rust / #rustlang is faster and more secure, but #GPL is better for society.

If we were using uutils in 2005 we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have now. I don’t want to think what could be lost if we just drop all things #GPL for mit license stuff. It’s just helping megacorps at societies expense.

پروژه Nova جایگزین Nouveau خواهد شد.

سال‌ها قبل FreeDesktop تصمیم گرفت با بازنویسی درایورهای گرافیک‌های انویدیا و انتشار آن به صورت آزاد، پروژه Nouveau (نوو) را آغار کند. اما اکنون تصمیم گرفته شده آن را با زبان Rust، تحت عنوان Nova منتشر کنند. البته نوا فقط محدود به گرافیک‌های سری RTX20 (تورینگ) به بعد است و مدل‌های قبلی را پشتیبانی نخواهد کرد.

ظاهرا باید منتظر حضور Nova در لینوکس نسخه ۶.۱۵ باشیم.

Wow. #Rust is an unserious language. Unless you bend over backwards to fight the compiler and avoid the standard library, you cannot write code that doesn't try to terminate the calling process on arbitrary error conditions. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43297487

Terminating the process is never an appropriate action in a library. The library has no way to know its caller's uptime constraints. Libraries should only return error codes to callers. Only applications can decide whether to bail out or not.

#RustProTip №38: The debug_assert! macro

The debug_assert! macro creates an assertion only in debug builds. It is useful for confirming assumptions during development without risking performance degradation in the release build.

In fact, there are people that slap together code and their criterion for success is "it compiles".

(I'll have the #rust folks sit down, this isn't about you )

I don't want to be pessimistic, but I am happy that I got to experience software development when I did.

I asked some tech friends if they knew of something like "python -i" or "ghci" but for #rust

I got two suggestions: https://github.com/evcxr/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README.md

which is nice!

and https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust which I couldn't get into.

It seems both of them are aimed toward using rust in jupyter ?
