Because half the world revolves around C fundamentals, sadly enough. Things would be a lot better if there existed a non-C portable way to share libraries across language boundaries (including libC).

The C abi is not C. Using C is a bad decision.

That may have been true (I'm skeptical) back in the RoR 2.x -> 4.x times, but nowadays updating it is a breeze.

Curious question: Do snaps interact with or depend on systemd?

Yes.

Isn't the best way to solve the back button question to not be so damned complicated and just make certain that only things which you want to go back to ends up in the history? The whole framing of the problem just screams "structure your thing better and it won't be a problem to solve".

Re-read it. We needed to preserve scroll position when you went back. If you just linked back to the inbox it would kick you to the top of the screen.

That is not how the back button works in a regular browser. Something you are doing is breaking the default behavior. Stop that.

They work well functionally, but financially anything can still happen.

> The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel will complete the high-speed rail connection between Stockholm and Hamburg.

Not really, mostly cause Sweden don't want to build high speed rail, even when EU would have paid for a big share of it.

That "minor" detail seems to have been outside of all popular reporting I've read on the subject, any links to how large a part the EU would've contributed?

It was in the news (at the very least DN) a couple of months after the current government scrapped the plans for high speed trains. So Dec-Jan 22/23 or so. Googling for it to find the details have proven to be hard, so I can't say for sure if those articles referred to grants part of the CEF program, but very probably so. And I also obviously can't give any numbers without refinding those articles. But it was a fairly large share, based on memory.

EDIT: Found it! https://www.dn.se/ekonomi/regeringen-bad-eu-andra-tagkartor-... mentions it and that the possible numbers were really high, upwards 100GSEK or more. But only 'possible' numbers and not granted ones, so who knows how much it would have been in practice.

Most of the Malmö <-> Stockholm line is 200km/h plus (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Swedish_railw...) and that’s generally seen to be where “high-speed” starts. But yes, they could do a lot better.

Getting to 200 was mostly a matter of upgrading tracks that needed maintenance anyhow in the 90s, in the 90s however cargo traffic wasn't causing as many disruptions and congestion as today and the talks about "new exclusive" lines is mainly meant to shift air-traffic to faster AND non-congested lines, but new lines are far more expensive/prohibitive both due to new land requirements and making it a "big-bang" build.

Especially with distros like Ubuntu throwing out gnu coreutils.

And generating race conditions because Rust newbies think memory safety will solve all issues on I/O.

It makes sense in certain contexts, but it is batshit insane that it is enabled on a program (including any linked stuff) level. It would have made sense as numbers with separate types or perhaps even if you marked a region in code and it applied only to code in that region. Then the consequences of enabling it could be understood in ways that could be safe and usable (eg enabling it for a hot loop where the numerical ranges are well defined and safe in context).

But no, instead it is a fat shotgun.

Most people start out as kids that does exactly that.

And kids do not decide what to buy and how to prefer that food for exactly that reason.
