Because people are interested in how technology is built, and if they’re interested in rust they might be interested in seeing how it’s used in other projects
sure that "being written in C" or in "PHP" would have gathered far less interest
Readit NewsRun it on more obscure hardware?
Considering that the code is mostly x86 assembly, the gains from such optimization are quite unlikely.
> We are destroying software pushing for rewrites of things that work.
Software written in C continues to be riddled with elementary security holes, despite being written and reviewed by experts. If anything the push to rewrite is too weak, we have known about the dangers for decades at this point.
We aren't destroying software, it was never all that. The software of the 90s was generally janky in a way that would never be tolerated today.
The software does not necessarily need to be written in C ( or C++) for these elementary security holes to happen.

Isn't usb-c display port alt mode a lost cause anyway ?

I investigated using JPEG XL for high speed applications but encoding time was much slower than JPEG with libturbojpeg even if you reduce encoder complexity to a minimum
I have a similar experience where jpeg encoding and webp encoding result in far less computing resources use that jpeg XL or AV1, and was curious at what other people used (as I might be using the wrong library).

I heard it was the EV vehicles drive systems, not the modern electronics. Either way, they should fix the shielding if it's really that noisy.
And that's probably the gist of it, manufacturer find it cheaper to get rid of a legacy piece of infrastructure than "fixing the shielding" (and also support the vehicle that are already out there).
I feel that in "CDN" the C is way too close to D, some uppercase character spacing seem to close, defeating the "readability" purpose
Also I find it disingenuous that apologists are stating thing close to "you are using it wrong". Where it is advertised that LLM based AI should be more and more trusted (because more accurate, based on some arbitrary metrics) and might save some time ( on some undescribed task).
Of course in that use case most would say to use your judgement to verify whatever is generated, but for the generation that is using AI LLM as a source of knowledge ( like some people are using Wikipedia as source of truth, or stack overflow) it will be difficult to verify, when all they knew is LLM generated content as source of knowledge.
