Imo, it’s nice to see tools written in a memory safe systems language

Especially if you use a lot of them. More utility, less attack surface

That’s my thinking

If you know what you’re doing, it’s significantly easier to do it yourself

You at least have some reassurance it’s correct (or at least thought through)

How do you know those formulas are correct?

I switched to Linux when i built my first tower in 2022

And have never looked back

Is it noticeably slow?

I bought the FP4 a year or so ago, and I couldn’t tolerate how slow everything was on it

Also, does it work with US cell networks?

The design was to stir up negative press

And by the fact that there was an article posted about it within a day of the petition starting, I’d say it was pretty successful

Here’s a really good video from the guy who started the petition

The guy who started the petition said the petition is purely to get headlines and negative press about Roblox, to hopefully drive investors away from the platform

It can be useful if you want a different desktop layout for different use cases

I set up a Personal activity, and a Work activity, with different backgrounds and different apps pinned to the taskbar. That helps maintain a “virtual” separation of work and personal life, and helps me not screw off on discord as much

Well, it would if i actually used it

Activities let you change the desktop layout, panels, wallpapers, etc.

Virtual desktops keep the desktop settings

I still stand by my assumption that anyone complaining about systemd has never tried to configure SysVInit scripts before

I use arch, but they’re all equivalent. A distro is more like a preconfigured linux

Just pick one of the popular ones and tinker

Apply directly to the forehead

I think i chose my terms poorly

In this case, what i meant by “Signal propagation” was purely the time delay from retinal stimulation, to optic nerve, to brain

And by “brain processing”, i meant “the time it takes from brain receives visual data to you experiencing it”

Also, if you’re interested, Artem Kirsanov is a really fascinating YT channel that talks about cutting edge research into neurons and information processing

I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation

So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeds

(I are computer science, not neuroscience)

To explain

There are 2 Error struct / enum declarations, probably in separate files

To the ?, they are different types and cannot be converted from one to the other (because they are two disparate structs that happen to have the same name, but can have different bodies)

To fix this

You can either use .some_func_result().map_err(|err| /* conversion here/*)?; +

Or you can impl From<Error1> for Error2

And you should also name it ThingError, so you can visually differentiate the two

+ There are like 10 different mapping functions, depending on if you’re using an option or a result

I never remember which one specifically i need, (unwrap_or, map_or, map_or_else, ok, ok_or)

I usually just hunt through the auto complete list until i find the function signature that gives me what i need

Buggies? Or just “furries”

There are a surprising number of moth and bee 'sonas, but the terms aren’t well defined

Can confirm, “scalies”

For birds it’s “avian”

Proton / wine is modern day magic

Most Windows only steam games work out of the box (you do have to enable it in the right click menu > Compatibility options, per game)

Games that use Anti-cheat aren’t likely to work (it depends on the Anti-cheat used and how it’s configured)

ProtonDB is a good resource for checking if/which games work, or fixes and workarounds

You can use proton or wine on non steam games, but that requires additional setup that I’m not familiar with

Pets are not children

They have completely different physical and psychological needs and wants, and they need to be respected as a member of their species

Speaking as someone who has 2 dogs, 3 cats, and no kids

They are my companions, and i am their caregiver. But they are not my children
