Ya, this guy is toast. He just told the world he thinks his product sucks - the sane know he's wrong at least.

So they're on suicide watch after Baldur's Gate 3? Got it.
What's the point of a union if you just get dropped anyway? The industry is an embarrassment.
They seem hell-bent on tearing us down at this rate and it's becoming very hard to not take it personally. Not sure what the endgame is, but I really don't care what happens to the older generations at this point. I'm very fortunate to have had pretty well paying jobs overall and saved like an absolute mother fucker and eventually got a small ass condo in a desirable area - I'm renewing my mortgage and I have to put down $50K to just keep the same monthly payment. But I won't give them any more interest than I have to - they can get fucked.
Then they felt it necessary to lay a bunch of us off on top of it to add insult to injury.
To anyone else with less, I seriously don't know how you put up with this shit. I can barely stand it with what I have - it's still a far cry from where we want to be.
If the prosecution can't nail him due to lack of evidence or technicality, it will exonerate him completely in public eyes.
Prosecution is under high pressure to deliver here.
I have to warn that is is going to be harsh. Relay was my favorite app and I used it everyday for years. DBrady has sold out here in my mind by sucking up to Reddit - The authors of the other apps deliberately chose not to charge users a subscription and it has put us on a better path long term by taking influence away from Reddit and centralized social media. If Relay won't flip to Lemmy or decentralized alternatives then I hope it fails.
The pushback is justified I think - compile from source should be the default always for Rust since it works well (even if slower than desired sometimes).
Pre-compiled is kind of nice for scripting languages since the complexity of native dependencies is usually not wanted by those developers. In Node, I prefer pre-compiled as the default. Here, I do not.
The truth is that JS is currently "good enough" and all the best (adopted) web frameworks are either server or JS based.
I believe the chunking of script files is currently a bit more natural as well.
WebAssembly is the best choice for certain kinds of apps but most web apps are good enough with JS. If communities pour a lot of polish into WASM frameworks you may start to see wider adoption. Diversity is good, but it does need to be asked why WASM + DOM is objectively better than JS + DOM. It complicates the ecosystem a bit because you might fracture it for no good reason. Should there be Rust, Python, and JS DOM rendering frameworks? Is there a benefit?
If you have a more traditionally native app you want to port, that's different. That's a great fit for WASM. Personally I see it becoming more popular when it's a good replacement for desktop technology and the DOM isn't used at all (go straight to GPU). I'm a huge fan of WASM, but I also write a lot of web apps and don't see a super convincing reason to adopt WASM to effectively make the exact same thing. As-is, it's great for augmenting an app though.
Wait for garbage collection and sockets and you might see the paradigm start to shift.
To be fair you are the burden on your family here. This isn't living without - it's sticking everyone else with your problem.
Yeah, this seems low. Unless almost nobody has mortgage debt. Because, surprise, most can't get into the market. So that would be pure student loans and credit card.
The banks have shockingly bad technology and staffing these days, so I'm halfway between thinking the numbers are doctored, or they just have no idea how to pull the data.
