> Their main purpose is enabling their users to consume content

Here we go again... no, "consume content" is what the commercial social networks want you to do so you stick around until the next ad break. (Maybe even what a commercial SaaS RSS reader wants you to do so you pay the next bill.)

I use RSS specifically to get away from generic "content". Instead I read to learn things, and to explore opoinions I might not otherwise come in contact with, and to socialise with other people.

Impressive corporate-savvy from someone with not too many years in the game.

I also had my early career years at Apple. Knowing this stuff is the only way to survive. And we didn’t have Slack or Google Docs at the time, only email.

Sounds like you had an unfair advantage!

Minor suggestion: the article refers to a RHEL 6 developer guide section about static linking. Maybe a more recent article can be used (if their viewpoint hasn't changed).

This should be the job of the editor, no? Authors could also leave in typos or previous draft sentences, etc.

Spotting and removing, yes.

Writing the damn book should be the job of the author.

It isn’t, arguably easier than installing Go (no GOPATH). Rust compile times are really slow compared to Zig or Go though.

(Edit: As this seems to trigger some people: I code in Rust. I’m just stating the facts.)

Just FYI: GOPATH isn't a thing anymore.

What resource did you use to learn Janet? And did you already know lisp before? Comming from Python and php I found the "Janet for mortals" very difficult. It expected me to know what closures and macros are.

I'm not the one you asked, but maybe this is helpful:

I learnt Janet after learning Clojure, and it all felt very natural. So a possible approach is to grab a beginner Clojure book/tutorial first, run some of the examples, and then see how far you get with Janet.

Not everything is the same, but you'll find that out along the way, and the people in the Janet Zulip chat are always super helpful.

Also check out https://janetdocs.com for some examples.

It blows my mind that Musk hasn't integrated Grok as an app inside their vehicles. A literal AI copilot is a completely novel and killer app that cannot be pulled off by any other vehicle manufacturer.

"Killer app" in the good way or the bad way?
