I’m working on something that allows for custom CRDTs since I agree no one CRDT strategy is best for any given app. There are several others I know of but they only use a single type. I think Automerge is the most popular current one but I don’t know if it has many actual users.

Mine is Eidetica, still very much experimental but I’m making progress https://github.com/arcuru/eidetica

Rust coreutils has 17,000 commits and is 12 years old.

I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/

My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.

I should go add some more…

Quit rewriting history, those were absolutely not lowball milestones.

If Mr. Musk were somehow to increase the value of Tesla to $650 billion — a figure many experts would contend is laughably impossible and would make Tesla one of the five largest companies in the United States, based on current valuations — his stock award could be worth as much as $55 billion

That is a quote from this contemporary article: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/teslas-pay-deal-to-keep-elon-musk-all-or-nothing.html

The reason his last pay package of 50 billion was awarded to him is because he met the milestones for that. It was a similar deal to this one where they set top end milestones that everyone felt were ridiculous and they’d never hit them. Mostly stock targets IIRC.

Yes and no. Like yes, that can be true. But a lot of tools don’t handle commas correctly no matter how you escape them.

The only problem with that plan is that there is no way to know that a Klansman would be in the image until you open it.

I don’t make financial decisions, so I can’t support FOSS from the corp coffers directly.

Have you asked?

I too fixed performance problems in that repo a few years back and did a write up on it - https://jackson.dev/post/rust-coreutils-dd/

I'm glad this project is getting some more attention, maybe even getting funding from Ubuntu since they're using it? Last time I touched it most of the code was still pretty clearly written by Rust beginners and non-systems programmers so it likely had/has many such issues to uncover. Ubuntu putting it into their distro should hopefully get more experienced (and actually paid!) devs taking a closer look.

 

It's possible that the .io cctld is going to go away [0]. Does crates.io have a backup plan at all? Does anyone know what problems it would end up causing?

I imagine the package registry having to move domains is going to cause a ton of problems.

Frankly, it's concerning to me that so much of the Rust ecosystem has chosen to standardize on shaky ccTLDs. The Indian Ocean Territory (.io) is a small island territory whose only inhabitants are a single military base, it is crazy to use that domain for something important. Serbia (.rs) is more stable, but they could still cut off access for non-Serbians if they wanted to.
