Rust coreutils has 17,000 commits and is 12 years old.

I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/

My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.

I should go add some more…

Quit rewriting history, those were absolutely not lowball milestones.

If Mr. Musk were somehow to increase the value of Tesla to $650 billion — a figure many experts would contend is laughably impossible and would make Tesla one of the five largest companies in the United States, based on current valuations — his stock award could be worth as much as $55 billion

That is a quote from this contemporary article: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/teslas-pay-deal-to-keep-elon-musk-all-or-nothing.html

The reason his last pay package of 50 billion was awarded to him is because he met the milestones for that. It was a similar deal to this one where they set top end milestones that everyone felt were ridiculous and they’d never hit them. Mostly stock targets IIRC.

Yes and no. Like yes, that can be true. But a lot of tools don’t handle commas correctly no matter how you escape them.

The only problem with that plan is that there is no way to know that a Klansman would be in the image until you open it.

I don’t make financial decisions, so I can’t support FOSS from the corp coffers directly.

Have you asked?

I too fixed performance problems in that repo a few years back and did a write up on it - https://jackson.dev/post/rust-coreutils-dd/

I’m glad this project is getting some more attention, maybe even getting funding from Ubuntu since they’re using it? Last time I touched it most of the code was still pretty clearly written by Rust beginners and non-systems programmers so it likely had/has many such issues to uncover. Ubuntu putting it into their distro should hopefully get more experienced (and actually paid!) devs taking a closer look.

Only if you want to.

So you’re also contributing to the declining viewership that these channels are complaining about. They make no money off of your watch time so to them it is the same as no view at all.

I wrote a full rant about this yesterday as I have been trying to decide on licensing for a large OSS project that I’ve been developing. Licensing and funding are inextricably linked, so I wanted to make the right decision up front.

Author here! Actually the first time I’ve ever seen anyone (other than myself) share a post of mine.

If there are any suggestions I’m happy to update it, as noted in the post I’ve had a few people reach out with improvements over the years. It seems like this post in particular is liked the search engines.

I have started, and ended, many bar chats over this. I am a firm believer in the cube rule above all other starch based food classification systems.

How do you make it illegible for LLMs?

I wish our societies picked base-12 instead of base-10.

Me too! https://jackson.dev/post/base-10-was-a-mistake/

So you prefer ad supported content?

130ms is perceivable but still quite small, and you’d only hit it once per domain (per TTL). If you care enough to intentionally use it then I wouldn’t worry about it. You’ll rarely notice the difference.

There are a few other services with similar ethos that you may want to check out as alternatives. Quad9 is the one I remember off the top of my head.
