Ubuntu updates break shit all the time, whether or not Rust is involved. The Linux kernel, on the other hand, has a proven track record of compatibility and stability.

If you can learn to read int (*funcs[])(void*, void*), you can learn to read Rust.

This isn’t a recent development; it’s been going on for decades. Indeed, most of the reason we use the terms “FOSS” and “open source” instead of the original term—“free software”—is that “open source” was deemed more corporate-friendly.

Summon Night Swordcraft Story has active combat (that’s what makes it Tales-like), so probably not what you’re looking for here.

If the compiler produces a program that doesn’t match your description, you can debug the compiler. Can you debug an LLM?

Well, remember, a code smell isn’t something that’s inherently bad, it’s “a hint that something might be wrong”.

I’m not saying that anyone should flag lambdas as a problem in code review, just that when you see one, it’s probably worth taking a second to ask yourself if a named function would make more sense.

I appreciate that this article highlights the value of using of named functions in functional-style code. Too often, programmers assume that “functional programming” means using lambdas everywhere, when in my experience, lambdas are actually a (very mild) code smell.

Just started Summon Night: Swordcraft Story. So far I’m enjoying trying out all the different kinds of weapons and picking up hints about the game’s unique worldbuilding. Now that I’m out of the tutorial section, I’m looking forward to seeing the story pick up and hoping to find a little more variety in the design of the upcoming dungeon levels.
