yeah, that's the part that doesn't suck, thus why i said "a lot"

what i take issue with is the very prevalent phenomenon of unobjectionable and sometimes important comments being auto-hidden, also the "rude" tag being hidden by default but not intolerance is inexcusable.

it's almost like we're on a platform which inherently discorages nuanced discussion by it's very nature.

yeah and a lot of the AI moderation sucks, what's your point?

the lockfiles are not fine, they don't work for dependencies of git dependencies, this fact took down the entire rust-lang CI for a while, combined with rolldown pushing a bad version.

yeah i mean C++ does look ugly, but that's really the least of it's issues.

can we also not pretend the languages are like, at all comparable in terms of the features they have?
November 26, 2025 at 6:10 AM
i wonder if npm gets hit with these attacks so often because their implementation of lockfiles is so toothless and dysfunctional, so malicious code can have a much wider impact compared to something like Rust.

1. the message via the google server doesn't actually contain the notification text, just a "hey this app has a notification"
2. this wakes up a backgroud process that then checks directly to see what the new notification(s) are, saving them to local cache then displaying a notification
November 25, 2025 at 7:46 PM
As I understand it, android wants to only have a single connection open to check for all notifications, so third-party apps are expected to proxy through a google-run server.

however, this can still be done without leaking messages or causing these desyncs, what you need to do is...

USB-C feels kinda like the outcome of someone wishing on a monkey's paw sometimes.

"it's reversible! but sometimes it doesn't work unless it's at a certain angle"

"all cords work with any device! but some work better than others"

"no fragile clips! how does it stay in? not very well!"

in my unscientific experience the main problem is durability
November 25, 2025 at 6:57 AM
my hot take is that USB-C is an objective improvement over micro-usb, but NOT mini-usb, or USB-A, both of which have better durability in my experience.

idk, my 3ds's charging cable has been through quite a few wear cycles, yet it still works arguably more reliably than a cable i bought a year ago.

seconding this! it's hard for the rustdoc team to know what people want if noone files or interacts with feature requests.
