I’m not sure why people are downvoting you, since Fortran is known to be extremely performant when dealing with multidimensional arrays.

Of course, for hot paths or small examples it is, but I doubt it’s feasible or maintainable to write a “real” projects like core utilities in assembly.

Rust is better for writing multithreaded applications which means that the small amount of utilities that can utilize parallelism receive a significant speedup. uutils multithreaded sort was apparently 6x faster than the GNU utils single threaded version.

P.S. I strongly doubt handwritten assembly is more efficient than modern C compilers.

The uutils should be compatible so I don’t think so

Yes I remember the lemmy.world servers being DDOS’ed every couple of days and having to switch between 3 clients and the webinterface because all of the apps were missing some features. The alternative frontends like photon and tesseract have really improved and imo should be the new defaults.

Great app, I recommend everyone give it a try

Some time ago I wrote a program in COBOL and half of it was just CALL "SYSTEM" BY CONTENT in the end.

I guess I’ll explode

Microsoft have been endorsing Linux recently for this reason.

I doubt that’s still the reason, I think they endorse it because they’re making a shit ton of money using it on Azure.

…I don’t click links…

I strongly suggest doing so if you want to understand what the article is about

Even if the instance doesn’t have any rules about it?

It’s a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP’s and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn’t the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

Yes, it’s a funny meme but I added a disclaimer just in case people thought it was a serious issue.

Have you used both languages before?

Rust code (and the ecosystem) seems to put a higher priority on describing code contracts through the type system and documentation. I personally feel you don’t need as much context to write functional code compared to C where every corner of the codebase might be hiding something that could impact the part your working on.

I’m not going to go back to a closed-source centralized platform

…they can be “linked”

What do you mean with that?

…is it blockchain based? or is there a central server somewhere orchestrating it all ?

It does not use blockchain or a central server, but instead uses the ActivityPub protocol, just like Mastodon. That’s why Mastodon users can see some Lemmy posts and the other way around.

Where can you get a 2TB SSD for $85? Most 2TB SSD’s I’ve seen cost about €120 with the cheapest going down to €98.
