"And it's not only about the existing code but also adding a new code."

I doubt many command line utils will be updated anytime soon. Most of them have been a done deal for years.

"Rust is a modern language with a lot of features missing in C"

So is C++ and there are far more C++ devs than rust devs and they could have been rewritten in C++ years ago but sensible people realised that if it ain't broke don't fix it.

"ust naming a few like traits, generics, utf-8 strings, FP-style constructs, immutability, standard library, thread safety, async"

Wow, cutting edge! See C++.

"is much more attractive for the new developers."

So is Python, perhaps they should be rewritten in that if popularity is a reason.

"The trouble is, the POSIX model is broken"

Its not broken, people just don't use it properly. You're supposed to use groups to give permissions for certain activities but its too much effort so , what the hell, just use root, right?

"It's not about memory leaks but memory safety"

Are there many safety issues in these utilities? I presume they've done code analysis and found loads then?

"and much better maintainability that legacy GNU C code"

BS. There's nothing special about Rust wrt maintanability plus there's a FAR greater pool of C devs than Rust devs who can check any new code.

Oh, and just because code is old, debugged and works doesn't make it "legacy". No serious devs are interested in the Shiny New Thing unless it does something incredibly special and useful. I'm not seeing that here.

Oh dear. When you leave your mums basement and go get a job in the messy real world with companies having to mitigate against idiots, lazies trying to cut corners and people with bad intentions get back to us.

I'm all for pointing out the foibles of windows, but I'm afraid security and firewall rules are standard in the corporate world and have been for decades. If you think any of the corporate *nixes like Solaris of HP-UX didn't have any of this then you really need to get yourself up to speed as to how IT works in a business.

"the Rust replacements for standard gnu utilities were busted."

I had to google this - I didn't realise people were wasting time and effort in a pointless re-write of utilities that have probably been debugged better than any other code out there!

Do these Rust zealots not understand that memory leaks are only one of many potential bugs and in a fire and forget utility that may only run for literally microseconds they're borderline irrelevant compared to logic errors? And if you rewrite complicated code in another language you're going to make those sorts of mistakes.

"As soon as a prototype is ready IT MUST GO LIVE within 4 to 6 month"

BS. It takes far longer than that to write a half decent game for any platform these days. Its not the 1990s any more. So sure , they could release it in 4-6 months so long as the customers didn't mind having any software for it except emulated PS5 titles.

Shhhh, don't talk reality around here, the EV club don't like it, they think everyone is happy sitting around for 30 mins to charge up - assuming they can even find a feckin charger and its working - just so they have the supposed kudos of owning in EV.

Most people just want a vehicle that gets them from A to B as con veniently as possible, not a posing pouch or political statement.

... are entirely possible. Sampler synthesizers have been available since the late 1970s and even the cheapest onboard PC sound chip has been able to do it for 20 years so there is zero not to have realistic engine sounds in 2025. Quite clearly they deliberately use unrealistic sounds - for what reason I have absolutely no idea.

"the technologies are still in "every early days" and "only exist in simulation right now.""

The PS5 was released 5 years ago and next gen console releases generally happen on a 7 year cycle so wtf has Sony been doing for the last 5 years? If they haven't even got any test dies yet never mind prototypes to send to software houses then this thing has no chance of being released to the public by 2027.

If they weren't going to make money on it they wouldn't have bothered, they're not a charity. You can guarantee the construction is the shittiest they can get away with made in the lowest quality chinese factory and it will probably fail after a year or too anyway if used a lot.

It must've required magic to load those games if you didn't also have tape or disk drive to plug into it. Congrats on completely missing his point.

Yup. They're probably aiming at the xmas market, sell a few thousand, offer support for 6 months then disappear, cash in bank. Cube goes into cupboard, comes out 5-10 years later and goes into recycle.

"Now begins the trend of censorship on the Internet by nation-state boundary."

Begins?? Have you just stepped out of a time machine from the year 2000? Its been going on for years if not decades my friend in places like china, russia and north korea and they have far less noble reasons than trying to protect copyright.

Government isn't a zero sum game wrt enviromental concerns. Legislation on other things can and must happen as well, and any government thats just a one trick pony will soon find itself out on its ear.
