The memory usage when compiling a giant #rust app is insane. I have about 32 GB RAM available for building codex and the compilation in release mode still gets killed by the oom killer 🤯
This is way worse than C++ metaprogramming spaghetti

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Laut UNICEF sind weltweit erstmals mehr Kinder und Jugendliche übergewichtig als untergewichtig. Grund dafür sei auch die starke digitale Vermarktung von Fast Food. In Deutschland steigen die Zahlen leicht.
