|
||
|
|
<p>Google policy towards using AGPL software. Basically, because AGPL says
|
||
|
|
"source is <em>always</em> available", Google says "maintain an aggressively-broad
|
||
|
|
ban on all AGPL software"</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Take away: Release <strong>everything</strong> under the AGPL.</p>

<h1 id="impressions-of-rust-as-a-swift-developer-memory-management"><a href="https://blog.spencerkohan.com/impressions-of-rust-as-a-swift-developer-2/">Impressions of Rust as a Swift Developer: Memory Management</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>A take on the way Rust and Swift manages memory. While I agree with the
|
||
|
|
drawbacks of Rust, the author forgets to mention the price Swift pays for its
|
||
|
|
simplicity: A runtime.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Having a runtime is bad? Well, it depends: If you're not using anything the
|
||
|
|
runtime offers (your application does a full allocation upfront and never
|
||
|
|
deallocates, it completes its job before it has time to actually use the
|
||
|
|
garbage collector), you're basically wasting resources. Sure, you pay this in
|
||
|
|
development time, but this has to be measured.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, a runtime means another problem: Runtime errors. Unless your compiler
|
||
|
|
picks those and stop you from creating code that can generate those errors,
|
||
|
|
you'll get those.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(Also, fun fact: Graydon Hoare, the creator of Rust, worked on Swift.)</p>
|
||

<h1 id="cfg-doctest-is-stable-and-you-should-use-it"><a href="https://blog.guillaume-gomez.fr/articles/2020-03-07+cfg%28doctest%29+is+stable+and+you+should+use+it">cfg(doctest) is stable and you should use it</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>Speaking of Rust, here's a feature I was not aware of: You can create testing
|
||
|
|
modules that test Markdown documentation. Why would anyone do that? Well,
|
||
|
|
markdown is usually the way people document their applications and you want
|
||
|
|
your examples to actually work, right?</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>A big problem with open source is that actually nobody cares about how it is
|
||
|
|
developed: Sure, there is a <em>person</em> (or <em>persons</em>) behind it, but how are
|
||
|
|
those people paying for their living, eating and health? The post points some
|
||
|
|
things open source developers can do to get something out.</p>

<p>A few tips on using JUnit 5 -- some that I was not aware of.</p>

<h1 id="mozilla-makes-firefox-beta-available-on-flathub"><a href="https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2020/03/10/mozilla-makes-firefox-beta-available-on-flathub/">Mozilla makes Firefox Beta available on Flathub</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>Mozilla is making Firefox available on Flathub, which means now it is even
|
||
|
|
easier to test Firefox without breaking your system -- 'cause Flatpak keeps
|
||
|
|
the whole package in its own container and it does not touch your system.</p>
