Update on The Whole Rust Trademark Policy Fiasco

The foundation released a blog as they promised to do so and here are the main parts

Section 1: The Good Parts

1. They apologized for not being transparent enough
"Rust Trademark Policy should have been more transparent and we apologize for that"

2. They acknowledged the problems and the policy is going to be rewritten
"It is already clear that there are many valid critiques of the initial draft. We will address those critiques in the next version of the policy."

Section 2: The Concerning Parts

3. What about the Community
"We want to reiterate that we will not put any policy into effect until we have something that both the Rust Foundation and Rust Project leadership are satisfied with."

4. The community should be informed but they don't need to be satisfied ?
"The Rust Foundation, Rust Project Directors, and Trademark Working Group will work together to ensure that the community is as informed as possible as we work towards implementing necessary feedback. "

What happened to GitHub?

Are they doing an A/B test on a new UI or did they roll it out to everybody?

People are angry about capitalism

It is weird that many of us would consider this a good situation for the workers (I would), because if the person is working 8 hrs/day this would translate to 800$/month (80k in ETB). People are saying the guy shouldn't be bragging about this because 5$/hour is too small. What do you peeps think?

I consider this as a gain from globalization for both parties.

They had to do a RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) but it cleared off the pad without any issues so that's very good. It was super fast and it looked really cool. They said that it is two times faster that the Saturn V (the rocket that was used in the Apollo missions).

This is especially true in Ethiopia, this notion is strongly woven into our society. I think the main source of this sentiment is this phrase from the Bible.

“Blessed Are the Meek, for They Will Inherit the Earth"

Rust in Windows

They tried rewriting a component called DWrite that does text rendering and font parsing. Not only did they get memory safety but the Rust code was more performant than the previous C++ version.

Take Away
Rust is inside the Windows Kernel.
