Yep. And the author of scrcpy is also one of the developers of VLC media player - another piece of software that just works.

That's just not true, and if it is in your case, then you're not great at writing code yet.

> I can assure you that the core utils have all already went through static analysers doing more checks than the Rust compiler.

I'd be very interested in reading more about this. Could you please explain what are these checks and how they are qualitatively and quantitatively better than the default rustc checks?

Please note that this is about checks on the codebase itself - not system/integration tests which are of course already applicable against alternative implementations.

Sounds like a reasonable theory but do you have an actual example? The one you gave:

> For example, a typical bilingual speaker of Indian English and Hindi will replace instances of the /æ/ phoneme (as in "blast" or "fast") with another phoneme like /a:/ (as in "father"). Which isn't that unusual since /æ/ is pretty uncommon among languages.

does not apply to Indian languages because most of them have daily-use-words with the /æ/ sound.

The headline already rubbed me the wrong way, but seeing this made me immediately cancel my Duolingo subscription. I encourage others to do the same.

To add insult to the injury, they claim that most people should stick to Play Store - a malware repository controlled by an ad distribution company - for better privacy. We're supposed to take this seriously.
