    People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.

    Traits are not inheritance. Box is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.


  • That’s a deep misunderstanding of how that number came to be. He wasn’t paid 193 millions. He was paid something like 6 millions.

    The rest is shares that he got and kept through the whole period. When you setup a company you create a number of shares that founders buy (with most kept on the side for investors). As you grow so do those shares value, and you’re also granted some as bonus/salary/et . At 10B those share are worth 190 millions. If Reddit would be worth 1 billion those shares would be 19 millions.

    Basically he owns about 2% of Reddit.

    Almost every IPO in history has resulted in a significant drop in value on the first weeks as early investors drop their shares on the market and hype goes down. I would be surprised if Reddit loses half of its value in the first month alone. It is much less bullish than a lot of other recent IPOs.













  • And that can create unexpected situations, like corporations stealing your patents or patenting all usages of your work, and prior art might be damned, and in some cases even sue you for you own work. There are examples of this for people who didn’t patent or license their work, this is not some weird hypothetical. WTFPL is not a license, it is not clear that it protects you or not.

    In the real world, WTFPL has no reasons to exist. If you want to protect your work but want to make it available, there are good permissive open source licenses. Slap an Apache, or CC0 or GPL license.






  • I don’t know how much of a gun it was. Apple has definitely been working on RCS support for a year; you don’t add that in a few months. Similarly I’m pretty sure Apple has been considering USB C in iPhone since at least when they started working on the USB C on iPad, which is what 5 years old?

    Of course without pressure they would have probably be slower to move forward, and with Apple secrecy it’s always hard to tell how long things have been ready to ship. But let’s not pretend they just woke up this morning with a horse head in their bed and told their direction team to start working on this.
