I love how people hate this language so strongly they made a 2hr hate video on it. If only cpp committee actually cared this much about the language themselves, we'd have a usable cpp by now.
Early in my career a big part of my job was build and release infrastructure for C++ based scientific packages on Mac, Linux, and Windows. This 2 hour video barely begins to cover the specific types of pain you will experience. youtu.be/7fGB-hjc2Gc?...

Why is gnu code such absolute bollocks and deadass complected? Like, if you actually cared about the shit you wrote your C wouldn't be looking like it was a reanimated frankenstein's equivalent in code.
I get it, features matter, but ffs now nobody contributes to your shit because nobody can.

I'd be more inclined to hear a talk by CrowdStrike about "We made Protobuf faster by using unsafe memory operations and trusting the caller" if they hadn't caused a global computer outage by using unsafe memory operations and trusting the caller. youtu.be/eWZ8pNMpqcU?...

Thank you, Mathias for creating a 3 hr guide on NixOS, so that normies like me can actually follow along and understand wtf's going on.

I sometimes feel like an idiot and an amazing programmer at the same time. How do I learn more of type theory properly?

My favorite language is awesome, and yours is a blight on the software industry. The reason why is simply because my favorite language (which is awesome) does things differently from your favorite language (which sucks). My favorite language addresses real world problems, while your favorite

Is stack-pinning in Rust safe? If so, what are the requirements?
IIRC, stack pinning in current rust is unsafe but [this](without.boats/blog/async-i...) article by without.boats suggests that it was shown possible with sone lifetime restrictions.
Am I just mistaken?

Shared libraries were a massive blunder in my opinion. There are so many things that are just wrong with the design and they expected developer on earth to just _know_ how to patch libraries and binaries? Give me a break.

Okay, the folks over at Cyberia's nix matrix channel have convinced me to go for it. I'll install nix on Arch tomorrow and try to convert all the non-system-essential packages to nix.
Once uni starts I'll probably just be academically challenged by all the academically challenging courses I took.

I love the NixOS philosophy and would've loved to use it if either
- I had a spare laptop
- the learning curve and occasional horror stories didn't scare me into a little baby
Because screw it, I want declarativity and A PROGRAMMABLE INTERFACE TO MY OS.

Flunked quickshell hard, let's go back to working on supac.
In the meantime, translated all my scripts from bash to nushell.
Thinking of writing my own bar based in iced. But seems that my rust just isn't good enough 🥲
