No, I was confused because there were momentarily ads there, they went away.


Also it's a desktop environment, not a linux distro.


wow! a new version of rust!


> wow! a new version of rust!

Can you compile it with the old version ?


also im british


omgieses oh wow


i found out about this today unrelated to this post


Cool! Where was that? (I’m on the Rerun team so curious)


Not parent but came across it yesterday as well, in these comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37770008 (Show HN: A nom parser for the Starcraft 2 Protocol Replay format)


Ah yeah that was definitely a usecase we hadn’t thought of. Really cool project!


Should i use this instead of the normal Rust compiler?


If you don't know that you need this, you don't need this. It's a bit pithy but it's true.


yes yes yes


must read for anyone interested in llms


I don’t see the need for stupid in all caps.


It's an acronym. Each letter stands for a coding principle that I follow (and encourage others to follow) to write maintainable code. :)


It comes off as click bait.

Personally I have no issue just figured I would relay my impulsive "news aggregation junkie" thoughts.

"STUPID: A mnemonic for great code" might be less impulse triggering and be more forthright. But you have to bring them in somehow so meh.


Before these two comments, I would have assumed most people know before clicking that it's an acronym that derives humor from the contrast between "smart" and "stupid". Maybe periods would help?


FWIW: My hunch when I read the title was that it would be about “overly smart” programmers who tended to write code that was too dense/tricky to be maintainable by anyone but themselves. Hence smart programmers writing “stupid” (aka unmaintainable/inscrutable) code.


Maybe. I don't feel strange for assigning the precedence of a word over an acronym at 6 letters when the context comes into play.


Interesting, you're not David Nichols.
