  • Slapping on a .expect is also error handling!

  • Crashing through unwrap is not necessarily restoring unsafe behavior of other languages though. I'd consider this wayyyy better than silently continuing with invalid value until the program tries something that doesn't make sense/is overreaching and it crashes.

  • Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there's literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.

  • That's what Xmas is for. Being asked what I want by family is frustrating because I don't really want things, and few things I do, I just buy.

    So anything I might like but can't justify buying goes into the Xmas list for other's to buy.

  • Wow I have opposite problem. I don't like reading papers that much. And while I do write I don't like to spend too much time there either, so I just end up procrastinating by making new things with plots, analysis, codes, helper scripts and such.

  • The borrowchecker is what I like the least about Rust

  • As someone who has been working on a project involving a network (directed graph) with nodes that need references on both sides, I do agree with many points in the article. And yeah the burrow checker isn't perfect, as someone who came from C I do get to points where the logic is fine, but burrow checker doesn't get it and I'm like "C would let me just do it".

    But I think I don't agree with the parts about it not getting better. Author said he's using it intermittently for a few years, I also have been using it for last few years and now I just write things the way rust expects it. And I think it has helped me not worry about a lot of runtime bugs. I just worry about the logical bugs and that's about it.

    Not perfect, but I think it's pretty good. Also if you really want to force rust to do things, sometimes a little unsafe rust gets you there.

  • DOGE Put Free Tax Filing Tool on Chopping Block After One Meeting With Lobbyists

  • Problem I think is the API from the IRS being closed. You could still maybe use it generate pdfs and send it, but the tool allowed you to just click send. And also, no more updates from the official source could mean they get to change a few rules and make it obsolete. We could keep it up with a bunch of volunteers, but unlike other open source projects, this has a serious legal aspect that people might not be willing to take a risk.

  • Why can’t they think normally?

  • I don't use ios. And I'm not that into my phone customization.

    But the main reason I love using computers over phone is this. I don't use chatgpt either, but for things I do use, I can easily add options to run what I want (right click, shortcuts, custom scripts that can read selection/clipboard).

    Why don't phones have something like that? Maybe an app you can install that can give you quick way to run small scripts systemwide. And you can just make things.

  • None. I just install os and use it without any encryption and such. It's more important for me to be able to access data on device failure than encrypt it.

  • Honest opinion programming is easy and fun when you learn it and it saves you time and allows you to test your ideas. Creating something gives you dopamine.

    Problem is before people even try any programming for themselves, they are introduced to it through school or work where they have to do it for homeworks or analysis while also learning new things. And they hate it.

  • Yeah. Independence is nice and all, specially because of current advances in technology that makes it possible. But the same technology have made it possible to goto the extreme that we were not prepared for.

  • Classes might help. But the important part is someone with experience doing it for you until you get a hang of it. Someone giving you lession on what to do might give you knowledge but it takes practice, reminders etc. I know you said both is good. I agree with that as things change, some practice in the past might not be good now, but that might also come from every generation resetting the knowledge, if you have generational knowledge passed, and collected and refined with community and science, then the things that work well will stick out longer.

    Also, no paternity leave in many places, and short maternity leave (looking at US with zero federally required maternity leave), means people take those for recovery and do not have as much free time before they have the baby.

  • I know right. I don't see why countries promote this kinda individualism and expect people to have children.
