HugoDaniel··on How to write documentation for a Rust crate
I wish there was something similar to the Haskell Haddock (https://www.haskell.org/haddock/) for Rust.

Something that would automatically generate the signatures and modules entry points/data types. These seem to be very neglected and generally hard to keep up-to-date in the Rust ecosystem.

This is awesome!

These knowledge bits surprisingly work really well if you are launching your own ideas in other formats (business, art, code, etc...), or doing other stuff just for fun.

Made my day :D

HugoDaniel··on Richard M. Stallman resigns
What are you trying to do here ? Can you be constructive please ?

If you read carefully you might notice that I said it "shares common traits with". Because it does.

HugoDaniel··on Richard M. Stallman resigns
I have no opinion on Stallman, he could very well be that awful person.

The twitter discussion[0] seemed to me to be very polarized and targeting rage with all the common traits of typical fake news/mass hysteria communication. Maybe it is just the way these things naturally come to daylight.

HugoDaniel··on How I decide between many programming languages
PHP unique pros:

  - Cheap (almost every cheap/free hosting supports it without any extra config)
  - Easy (can other languages beat this out of the box: `$_POST["name"]` ?)
  - Wordpress
PHP things that are not unique but good:

  - Huge market (if you are into bootstrapping your business, there are lots of opportunities and low hanging fruit in PHP)
  - Lots of big open source projects to customize or work on top of (nextcloud, etc...)
Things that you need in order to appreciate PHP:

  - Have a product mindset
HugoDaniel··on Bernie Sanders unveils $16T 'Green new deal' plan
"reasserting the United States' leadership in the global fight against climate change."

nitpicking, did he consider changing "reasserting" to "asserting" ?

HugoDaniel··on Portugal trials use of goats to clear vegetation for reduction of wild fire risk
The first two links are what happens when we decide to spread false news and give voice to conspiracy theories:

Accused is different from charged. Even if the person saying it is the head of the fireman fighting the fire. It is not the police job (nor the fireman) to determine who is responsible for a crime. We have courts for that. In Portugal people get preemptively arrested when there is risk of escape among other things. This might have been the case. No mention is made on said person being charged with anything.

As can be read on one of the articles: “The suspect’s actions put people’s lives, houses and the forest at risk,” the police said, without explicitly saying that the detained man was responsible for the ongoing wildfire.

I am not saying that there are no bad agents at play. I am just pointing out that the public uproar against "fire mafias" and fire starters is so big that it reaches fire chiefs and police officers. It then gets out on the news which propagates it further, just like an avalanche ball.

That said:

Now is my time for a conspiracy theory.

The recent past (cambrige analytica et al) has taught us that most of our rage reactions are being manipulated and abused by higher interests. In this case who might be the big player influencing public opinion through news and propaganda that focus on supposed fire-starters and "fire mafias" ? (cof E cof D cof P)

HugoDaniel··on Portugal trials use of goats to clear vegetation for reduction of wild fire risk
Conspiracy theories. Please back your claims and stop propagating false stuff.

Several independent reports pointed out that the Pedrogão Grande fires (the ones that killed 64 people) started at the power lines.

https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/pais/causa-do-incendio-principal...

https://www.dn.pt/sociedade/interior/incendio-causado-porlin...

Please stop these conspiracy theories. Many other fires can be tracked down to power lines.

Do you also believe in gravity ?
