Comment what an oddly slanted article (Score 5, Insightful) 94

Congratulations gamers and users of WINE -- you forced Canonical to continue supporting some 32-bit packages for now. Yes, the Ubuntu-maker will now waste its resources on antiquated technology to please a very vocal minority.

I'm not sure how to break it to this guy, but supporting users and their software is what a distribution is for. People whose software is still going to work won't consider that work wasted, that's for sure.

No kidding. I've been watching through TNG and one aspect of the show that jumps out as being unbelievably primitive is that the away teams have to describe what they're seeing to the bridge crew.

That's pretty much what Rust is: a low-level language that can be slotted into the same places C is used now, but without all the undefined behavior and memory leaks. And since it's a new language, it can have features people expect in a new language these days (like type inference, an intelligent build system, etc.).

You are free to leave this nation and its citizens that you hate with such a passion and relocate to somewhere else far more forward thinking. I hear that Nicaragua has just emerged as being in the forefront of progressivism, perhaps you will be more comfortable among your peers there?

Of course, I don't think that you will actually leave, because deep down you know that you have it good in this country - and you don't want to give up your way of life.
