I have never had a good experience with a Debian server. Every single time I had to add unstable or third party repos to get anything remotely current to run. What’s the point if you have to add unstable shit anyway?

How so? The system of patriarchy is beyond any one individual to solve. Yet I’m damn certain you believe every man should still do their best not to contribute. Why should the system of animal exploitation (and environmental destruction, while we’re at it) be any different?

Is it because one of these requires actual work on your side? You are the one measuring the same thing by two different standards.

Is a VPN even worth it for that use case? A seedbox won’t cost that much more, esp. if you factor in electricity costs from keeping your machine running. And getting to 1.0 seed ratio is also much easier.

The oil industry is, of course, doing all that polluting for the sheer fun of it. Our collective consumption habits, esp. in the PRIVILEGED western countries, have absolutely nothing to do with it.

There is no sustainable way to eat the amount of meat we do, no matter how much or how little capitalism gets involved. Even assuming the absolute best (aka unrealistic) stats for grass-fed cows, we’d still have to reduce our meat consumption to 1/7 of where it currently is. Do you think that is doable just by destroying some companies? Do you think people would just accept that???

It does support it, it’s just slower than JS. WA is faster in other aspects though, so frameworks that compile to WA (like the Rust framework Leptos) still end up being faster than a lot of JS ones.

You can also copy paste by manually copying text by hand, would call that a valid alternative to Ctrl-C/V?

I don’t understand the need for Ctrl-C/V, when manually copying the text exists. I know it’s snarky, but that’s the level of difference we’re talking about here. Or imagine, to delete a line, someone Right Arrows 50 times, then backspaces 50 times, instead of using the shortcut.

I remember when copying data wasn’t theft, and the entire internet gave the IP holders shit for the horrible copyright laws…

I loved how that game managed to have an A E S T H E T I C that was absolutely gorgeous AND perfectly matched the games themes. It’s also one of very few games where the open world-edness isn’t just a gimmick, but is integral to the game play. A real detective doesn’t get LEVEL COMPLETE messages or 10/10 CLUES FOUND.

Oh, and finally everyone was hot and the music is an absolute banger.

I’d recommend everyone check out https://prql-lang.org/. It’s SQL, but readable and writable in a sane way.

And no, SQL is NOT readable or writable for anything involving more than a single join.

SQL is horrible as a language to read or write. There’s a million different variants, because it lacks so many basic things. And when used in other code, you generally end up string concatinating one language in another language, with all the HORRIBLE bugs something like that brings about.

Imagine Backend People said we should just write adhoc Javascript for the frontend by concatinating the “correct” code in the backend.

Without a DSL for writing SQL, any sufficiently complex program will end up with string concatinating all over the place. Basically, writing a language with ZERO checks or highlighting or anything. That’s asking for trouble.

But coming from Java, I agree that some ORMs go way too far.

I want a shooter-esque game crossed with MOBA stuff. Basically, I just want Monday Night Combat, Battleborn or Gigantic to come back.

Writing a CHIP-8 Emulator was really fun. There’s a lot of resources out there and it’s really fun, small low level project you can “finish” in a week of casual coding. As someone who was mostly coding highlevel in my job, I really learned a lot.

The Prime Video example was more like moving from nano-service insanity to sanity. They basically split EVERY POSSIBLE STEP into separate lambdas. They switched to still using microservices, but they do all transcoding steps for a single video on the same microservice instance (aka sanity).

How’s the filesystem performance? Whenever I’ve mounted something into a Docker Container, the performance has suffered. For example, things like NPM/MVN suddenly take way longer.

How do you manage JVM versions? We have many older projects that use 8, and some newer ones using 17, for example.

Kubernetes is so easy! Unless you’re insane enough to have any state at all in your app. But who does that?

Nier Automata. I really hated the replaying it part. The combat gets incredibly boring after the first two playthroughs. I also found the supposedly “deep” story to be extremely lacking, very on the nose and, like way too much japanese entertainment, bipolar when it comes to emotions.

Ironically, I learned Rust first, and later looked at Go. I found a lot of the syntax needlessly “different”. That being said, it’s still a decent language. Point being, a lot of the weirdness subsides once you understand why it’s there.

Personally, I don’t actually care about the lifecycle and memory management stuff. What I like about Rust is:

• An enforced error type that is very convenient to use with the ? operator. No more err != nil spam, but same amount of safety
• ADTs with a host of wonderful features, like exhaustive match statements. Go enums are horrendously basic, let’s be honest
• NO NIL!! Non existence is expressed with an Option type that, like the error type, comes with many conveniences
• Generics from the start, meaning you don’t have older code that throws away type safety anywhere
• Traits/Interfaces can be implemented for foreign/external types and types can implement external interfaces (duh)
• Great tooling, good formatting tools, good LSP, that kind of stuff. Golang has that too

Why learn Rust? For the same reason everyone should learn different languages. To learn new concepts and see new perspectives on old problems. It’ll make you a better developer even in your previous languages.
