It is Christmas morning and I am fucking panicking

My dad first showed me QuickBASIC when I was 6. I didn’t understand the concept of syntax as distinct from semantics at the time but I was still able to learn it.

Vegetable is a culinary category, with no botanical/biological definition. I don’t see a reason why mushrooms don’t belong in it.

Between several different human families that don’t know about each other.

Are you worried that Chloe is going to get bullied or ostracized by Annie, Stevie, Ruth, and the others because of her human-given name?

Oh sweet! Got one, just hoping I have some time later to put a bit of work into starting to build a seed ratio before I go downloading what I want willy-nilly.

I don’t know specifically of any piece of tech that does this, but it would be very very easy to code as a plugin for a book reader app or something like that. It’d be more difficult to do well in more complicated text or mixed media, like spreadsheets, PDFs, or browser pages, since you probably don’t want every piece of text on the page to have the effect.

I find parenthesis are best when concept B is worth noting, but tangential to concept A, especially when the next few points are going to be back on the same track that A was on.

I quite like my Kubuntu Focus. I found some people complaining about the durability of System76 chassis (apparently they’re plastic) and that’s why I didn’t go with them.

If you don’t use a DE, it looks like there are ways to enable it in window managers as well. You’ll have to look up specific instructions for yours.

Some desktop environments set a default compose key, but you might have to set one manually. Common choices are the menu key or the right alt key if you don’t use it much.

Mostly it just defines a set of pretty standard and sensible combinations to add accents or other modifiers to existing characters, but there’s quite a bit you can do with it.

Tried to sign up, stuck in a login loop now.

A user in this community wrote a guide. If you need any help feel free to ask here or dm me - I set up the full stack on a home server and would love to help share the knowledge.

Oooof, good to know. I have a bit more of a low level C brain at root so I see the appeal of Go, but never had enough of a reason to get into C++. I’ve only really used C# and JS/JS frameworks professionally.

Rust is an absolute joy to work with. The strong typing, the hands-on memory management, the functional elements, the build system, the helpful compiler errors and warnings, the magical feeling that comes when your first successful compile since refactoring just works, the queer-friendly community… just the perfect language for the way my brain operates.

I’m lucky to be unemployed at the moment and have time to make my own projects with tools of my choosing. There are definitely some barriers to using it in most workplaces, but most of those come down to adoption inertia and the fact that the language is still “new” - new in the sense that it’s not mature enough to have a mature enough frontend framework that has a mature enough third party component library for easy plug and play. Filling out all the corners that older languages have is gonna take a while.

E.g. There isn’t even a standard set object, everyone just implements it as a map pointing to empty structs, and you get familiar with that and just accept it and learn to understand what it means when someone added an empty struct to a map.

Goooood fucking gravy.

I hate to be such an opinionated programmer, but everything I’ve read about Go only reinforces my negative opinion, especially since I read this now-famous article.

Assuming you’re monotheistic, I believe you can use an mpsc channel to send those asynchronously.

You’ve probably covered 90% of use cases there so you’re doing well!

I’m trying to port your code to Rust but the compiler keeps giving me an error about non-exhaustive match arms

The one, fool-proof solution to supply chain attacks? Write all your own dependencies.

Very true, the less user input you have the safer your code will be.

I agree. It hit way harder when I was working, but it still has incredible text, incredible imagery, incredible themes, and a very forward-thinking message.
