Given that both of you (burnedsushi and kornel) have strong and emotive opinions (“snearing must be stopped at all cost”/“cryptos are worst than the devil”), I totally understand that there was some miscommunication, but I found the tone quite civil even thought it felt emotionnaly difficult for both of you, and it seems that it ended in a good way. I do think that both of you did a good job at carrying the convesation to a good end.

I will also use this message to say that I'm part of the silent majority that really loves lib.rs, most notably because it is opiniated. Thanks for what your work.

I’m not that convinced by this week’s quote. Essential complexity cannot be removed indeed, but accidental complexity totally can. It’s what we do when we refactor code after all!

Any advance in the Ferrocene project are great news. I’m really happy to see Rust make progress in critical areas.

Nice! I’ve been using difftastic in my terminal, especially for git diff since quite some time. Semantic diff are usually much nicer to review (and in the case they don’t, I have a fallback to delta for my git pager).

git

Its backing store is an (immutable) merkle tree, which is a chain of crypographically signed object (commits, trees and blob), aka a chain of block, aka a blockchain.

Thanks. I really thought it was about vale since I assume they are both pronounced the same way.

I really love this week's quote!

The expensions adds a lot to the game.

By far Dominion, usually 2 to 4.

Ok, it's what I feared. I may migrate.

I can't agree more

(not OP) It did until yesterday. I hope that it's just temporary.

Nice work from everyone involved

I teachers were using automated tests instead of printf in their intro courses, it would be so much better. I don't think that introducing all the various kind of tests is usefull, but just showing the concept of automated tests instead of manual ones would be a huge step forward.
