I think there is some responsibility that falls on the developers to explain why a change was made, the Fedora Change Proposals are a fantastic example of this being done well, if a change is made without an easily accessible way to see the why there are going to be people who fill in the gaps with an explanation that may not be what you want it to be, you also do a great job at explaining why certain changes are made. @npub1lae…nm0x

Different people have different priorities with their time, some like to try and work out the problem themself instead of just looking up the solution, even if that method is a giant waste of time.

I find that a lot of projects are great at communicating the what but really struggle with communicating the why unless you dig deep into mailing lists and issue trackers and read weeks worth of conversations which understandably a lot of people just don't have time for.

Is there something I don't know about in Rust yet that explains why generics list out traits with a + instead of a , or is this just weird syntax for the sake of it

Therefore if you use the non technical usage which a lot of people who don't understand code use where "source available = open source" you could say that "if you know assembly all code is open source"

2024-05-26 03:16:25

A lot of people say "all source code is open source if you know assembly" this is obviously a joke but lets over analyze it
It is explicitly not Open Source (as in licensed in such a way) as the developers have not assigned it such a license, however if you stretch the definition of "source" to mean any code that runs the application rather than the actual source form of the code you could argue that all code by definition is source available.
