Mama told me not to come.

She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

  • Wow, 14% from Germany? That’s incredible!

    Also, 6.4% said they don’t use Rust because the community is unwelcoming, which is really sad to hear, but I’m glad the number is relatively low.

    I’m also surprised “disk space usage” isn’t an issue for many. I just cleared out dozens of GB of disk use by Rust, and I had to fix my CI/CD to clear itself properly.

    Anyway, interesting results, thanks for posting!



  • This is not a private enterprise running out of someone’s garage

    Neither is the company I work for. We’re not Amazon, but we handle billions of revenue, our users have very high risk jobs, and they are using our software more and more to do these high risk jobs. We have a lot of controls about how things get released (QA team, and every change is tested before and after deployment), we just use our source control to handle the actual deployment.

    Whether it’s sloppy depends on their processes (i.e. who validates the change?), not the tools they use.

    We don’t use Cloudflare Pages, but we do use automatic deployments, and pretty much anyone on the team can submit a change for deployment. It’ll get reviewed before going live, but that’s a limitation we’ve placed on the tools and process.









  • Progressivism is the other side of that coin, a belief that we need strong hierarchy with the “right people” at the top to have a functioning society. It’s the same basic idea that we either need or deserve strong leadership.

    For some reason those two are being pitched at the only valid ideas, probably because those at the top benefit from people believing that. There are other ideas, they just don’t have that “quick solution” people seem to crave that only comes from top down control.

    Just because one side of the coin is bad doesn’t make the other side good. Get a better coin.










  • Are they cheaper? Even over 1M miles or whatever a truck engine is expected to go? And for running a warehouse overnight? I find that hard to believe.

    But even if true, you need to take range into account. Hydrogen cars get better range than comparable BEVs, and that would surely add up for a truck hauling a massive load. And as hydrogen scales up, it’ll get cheaper. It’s currently a bit more expensive than gas (about 3-4x), but that’s with hydrogen transported from some plant somewhere. If it’s locally generated from solar, it’ll probably be quite a bit cheaper.
