Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base.
Mainly memory safety; split (which is also used for other programs like sort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one.
The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.
That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don’t really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
uutils/Linux?
What is this table from? Is it from some website?
Yeah, but it shouldn’t replace forums.
Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?
Why is Independent Workers capitalised but salaried workers isn’t?
quarterly shower
Even humans wouldn’t recognise you before and after that.
Take shoes for example. Why is a uk men’s size 10 so wildly different from a UK women’s size 10?
EU shoe sizes aren’t different based off gender; women just tend to have size 37 when men tend to have size 42.
This is the way.
Sure, ok, that’s still my daily driver, it’s incredibly stable (and no, it’s not fucking outdated), but other than that it doesn’t help so much against accidentally borking your system.
So in this context, I’m recommending @sockpuppetsociety@lemm.ee NixOS.
No, you need to go further: https://512kb.club/
That would’ve been perfect in response to @ValiantDust@feddit.org
May I introduce you to my lord and saviour NixOS?
And not somehow break it more from there? Impressive!
I can see how you were confused, but maybe don’t phrase it like that next time lol.
That’s true, I’ll keep it in mind! I thought I was being funny but I was just confusing and crude
Wait it is? The last sentence looks jumbled to me… I could use “English isn’t my first language” as a defence but I get the feeling I’m just slow or something
To add to @ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today
The uutils are MIT licensed, simply put it means “do whatever you want with it, as long as you credit us”.
The coreutils are GPL, simply put “do whatever you want with it but only in other GPL works, also credit us”.
The coreutils make sure forks will also be open source.
While the uutils aren’t closed source, they do allow you to make closed source forks.
The uutils’ license is too permissive.
