Took me a while before I realized this isn’t Star Wars cosplay

SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

The economy should exist to serve real needs of the people. All that advertisement does is create a fake desire for consumption which simply wastes respurces.

Fair point.

The worst thing you can do in non-unsafe Rust is perform an out-of-bounds indexing operation, or anything else that panics. The error you get tells you the panic’s exact location in the source code, down to the line and column. Meanwhile, C and C++ either don’t produce an error at all when accessing uninitialized memory (which is arguably the worst behavior), or it segfaults with zero extra info.

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations, and those must always be clearly marked.

Except that many other languages have proven that C++ is simply terrible at providing meaningful errors.

I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn’t be a huge loss.

KiCad. It’s an electronics design tool on par with commercial options in the industry, which cost a ton of money. Ever since the UI facelift it got a few years ago, it has become my go-to option. They are even working on integrating circuit simulation and finite element analysis, which is just crazy.

Weird that it doesn’t work. The usual way to run scripts on startup is through systemd units though. That has the added benefits of automatically logging all output and letting you control it through commands like systemctl enable <unit name>. It’s a really neat system, and I highly recommend learning it if you see yourself doing this kind of automation more often.

This just seems way too close ot being a troll. If I’m wrong, please do your research before posting here, this has been discussed to death over and over.

VS Code could really use some work in that regard and I really do feel bad for that person, but this is also just funny as heck

Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?

Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

I applaud your bravery with Arch. Have some fun with it and don’t worry if you break stuff. Keep your files backed up and you’re golden! Even if you switch to a different distro later on, a lot of what you learn will translate 1:1.

I tries it a couple months ago and it was horrible, didn’t even support flexbox back then and it kept crashing. The latest nightly builds are almost usable for basic web browsing though, it’s amazing how fast servo improves

Reading that really makes me want to give it a go. If swift’s package management is anything like Rust or Go, I could see myself enjoying it

For Windows and Mac, yes. V1 was very polished when I used it back in the day, I assume V2 is the same. For Linux, fuck no. They don’t care one bit about that OS.

I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.

The thing it can do best is bewilder developers with it’s strange choices
