I’ve noticed a lot of projects use riscv64 as shorthand for the rv64gc ISA, especially when it’s understood that there is an MMU, maybe an FPU, privilege levels, and any other extensions that a modern OS requires.

Anyway, I did find this on the Debian website[1]. So it seems they mean rv64gc.

Yes it is common in the gaming industry. That is not a good thing nor a justification for it happening elsewhere.

It's an interesting thought, but that seems like a huge gamble just to provide an opening to make moves that may or may not pay off. I would think things would have to be pretty bleak for a risk like that to make sense.

Electing not to host political advertisements on a private platform is not a free speech issue.

Emacs shortcuts are universal in macOS and much more convenient than home/end/delete/etc in my opinion.

The staff use these to communicate. There’s no intercoms so this is how they know when to open more registers, come to the front of the store, etc. Don’t ring the bells, they will not appreciate it.

Maybe some of these can be chalked up to language philosophy or APIs as you said, but many of these would be welcome additions in my eyes.

I think regex, time, and crates like num_cpus would especially be nice to have. There's plenty of those types of crates where it feels like you can't compile a single project without seeing it float by as you build the dependencies.

What things would you like to see included that aren’t currently in the standard library?
