OsmAnd: This map application is popular enough that it probably doesn’t need mentioning, but good golly is it a powerful tool. Great options for downloading maps and having them offline, and while the car navigation might be missing one or two key features that you’d expect from proprietary alternatives (like live traffic), the sheer amount of detail that has been crowdsourced is mindblowing. There are a wealth of trails and cycle routes, low level details like park benches, bridges, and lookout spots, and the various map profiles you can build are very customizable. I’m personally a huge fan of the trip recording plugin for tracking all my hikes, runs, bike rides, canoe trips, and even swims.

Oh hmmm geee, I wonder what language it’s built with

Jk I friggin love Rust, great to see more projects like this

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.

I liked Bradley Cooper but after watching American Sniper I can’t see his face anymore without seeing the smug visage of imperialist murder.

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.

Some Willem Van Spronsen type stuff maybe?

In Time (2011). Time is currency in the dystopia in the film - paying for something decreases your lifespan, earning wages increases it.

The movie sets up a really cool class structure, wherein there are rich people born with/inheriting hundreds of thousands of years of life, and poor people barely managing to scrape enough hours to stay alive until they can earn more the next day. There are segmented areas of the city that cost years to get into.

Overall incredible premise, but the story wasn’t exceptional beyond a couple of the cool mechanics you might expect based on said premise.

Very cool image! It looks like there’s some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?

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.

Aren’t the gaps in dialogue way too long though? Or did MASH do okay with that

I knew someone who did overnight chicken catching (to get them from the barn into the truck to go off to slaughter) and lasted about twenty minutes. The straw was accidentally dropping a chicken two stories because of the time pressure; shit like that is commonplace in animal agriculture.

The crew lead told them it was fine and they could wait in the van until the end of the shift. He made a comment like, “yeah you have to have a bit of a screw loose to work a job like this.”

That story sticks with me a lot when I think about the conditions for both labourers and animals that are necessary to get meat onto the table.

I know someone with a decade old Leaf and that thing is still going strong with more than 300k on it.
