I sure hope this is not how most CS courses are being taught

You gonna do Rust again?

I thought problem inputs were randomized for each user?

Anyone got a non-paywalled link?

Did we read the same article? This mentions nothing about infighting between groups.

It’s been this way for years. Really?

Oh, is this what they meant by “commenting your code”?

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.

Diesel is well-known for having some of the worst errors in the ecosystem. This is far from the rule.

I would argue that in this case the maintainers are in the wrong for not even responding to the issue, not the reporter responding with memes.

This guy is a real veteran dumbass

I’ve seen this same thing happen with Python’s type hints. Turns out giving an “escape hatch” type for devs who have no clue what the type actually is leads to a lot of useless type hints.

Because people like this don’t care about making anything worthwhile, they just care about looking cool and getting Internet points.

What the hell are you talking about

What tests? There is no hyperlink, for all I know, these are just some hidden tests that the owners of the competition run on the solutions to verify them. There is no link to Prettier at all, and at a first read it’s very unclear this is what they want you to do if you aren’t already familiar with the tool they want you to recreate.

Wow, they really did not make that clear at all on the contest description.

At what point will llogiq realize no one cares about crate of the week, and simply remove it from the newsletter? Even if there are suggestions, it almost always just amounts to whoever decided to advertise their own niche crate that week. I’m not surprised the community has basically given up on it at this point.

Saw this posted on hackernews yesterday, along with hundreds of comments of people completely misunderstanding the advice given. Glad to not see any of that here.

I usually agree with his takes, but I can’t watch more than a minute and a half of a video of his, because it’s always an unscripted rant. It’s fine though, he usually gets his point across in the first minute anyway, and then repeats himself for another ten minutes.

I think you’re spot on. It fits right in to the whole “enshittification” topic that Doctorow wrote about. Everyone started using streaming services like Netflix because it offered such a great user experience; now that they have the user base, unfortunately we are now at the point where Netflix has every motivation to make the platform as shitty as possible to milk as much money from their users as they can.
