I certainly disagree with @sir on a lot of things, cryptocurrencies is not one of those though. This is pretty on point: "Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century.

#gitea was hosted on Github, but had a clear plan on what milestones had to be passed for them to start self-hosting. Now they're migrating to gitea.com/gitea/gitea . Gitea is a productive environment in which to host your project. With @codeberg you even get #codeberg Pages.

Github was proprietary from the beginning, but after Microsoft's acquisition it has moved deeper into the Extend phase with Github CLI. They're aiming for the entire open source infrastructure to orbit around them. Don't help them move the free software and open source world in this direction. You don't actually need Github. They need you.

Boosts appreciated for sample size :)

Speed of Rust vs C

The run-time speed and memory usage of programs written in #rust should about the same as of programs written in #c , but overall programming style of these languages is different enough that it's hard to generalize their speed. This is a summary of where they're the same, where C is faster, and where Rust is faster.

"Things to Try When You Can't Make a Trait Object"

Trait objects are Rust’s usual mechanism for dynamic dispatch.

This post describes several options for handling an inability to create a trait object, discusses their trade-offs, and describes why the trait object limitations exist in the first place, and what those limitations are exactly.

Frontex is taking us to court.
