Those who forget history often inadvertently repeat it. Some of us recall that twenty-one years ago, the most popular code hosting site, a fully Free and Open Source (FOSS) site called SourceForge, proprietarized all their code — never to make it FOSS again. Major FOSS projects slowly left SourceForge since it was now, itself, a proprietary system, and antithetical to FOSS. FOSS communities learned that it was a mistake to allow a for-profit, proprietary software company to become the dominant FOSS collaborative development site. SourceForge slowly collapsed after the DotCom crash, and today, SourceForge still refuses to solve these problems0. We learned a valuable lesson that was a bit too easy to forget — especially when corporate involvement manipulates FOSS communities to its own ends. We now must learn the SourceForge lesson again with Microsoft's GitHub.
I managed to convince my friends to give Matrix a try. Among us we span almost all platforms. Any ideas on what clients to use would be much appreciated.
Hello all, I'm learning Rust after years of programming mainly in C/C++.
Python has a very neat shelve library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shelve.html It's basically a dict (hash table), but is located on disk instead of memory. It's great for easy persistence and also for working with massive objects that won't fit into memory.
Is there anything similar for Rust? I could not find any, but I'm still learning Rust and could have missed it.
