Sometimes, Things just can't be Done with Python. E.g., you're parsing dozens terabytes of data, or need response time within a microsecond. So, you're left with a choice of C++, Rust (what else, C#, possibly Zig and a few ot

For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switched to using Typst ( https://typst.app ). Here's a few points: - The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use

Binary packages compiled for your platform. More generally, any non-Python packages (e.g. libwhatever, or some binary utilities).

Quarts is great. There's also Typst which is the new kid on the block but seemingly very good.

Don't have the link anymore but it's pretty simple, I'm sure you can even do it with a bash script. Generate .ly files with scores whichever way you want, convert them to png via lilypond cli, then generate flash cards contai

Anki is great. Used it when learning/practicing music theory - generated flash cards with notes and chords (python script that generates LilyPond, iirc), been a huge help, much better than 'specialized' apps that basically do

macOS changed the visual looks of preferences and rearranged things, but if you had a bash script that just did a bunch of "defaults write", it would still work for the most part.

If you're a vimmer and a jupyter user, do yourself a favour and switch from browser to vscode: vim emulation is much better overall and you get proper python lsp experience, with jumping to definitions, type inference, copilot, and all

Loxone is a pretty nice all-in-one solution, or as a base that can be then connected to HA, from lighting controllers to heating etc, and fully offline, especially in Europe where Lutron and the like aren't being used en masse (or are

I used to keep doom distribution around solely for magit and missed it a lot since it's the best git client by far and large. These days, thankfully there's lazygit around which, although not integrated directly in the editor and

I had 2x27'' at work for years and now I have 1x49'' at home. Main difference is, on the 49 I can place a single 27''-sized window in the centre.

Exactly. Why not just use Linear instead then?

NumPy is a C library with Python frontend, moreover lots of functionality based on other existing C libraries like blas etc. PyTorch, quoting themselves, is a Python binding into a monolithic C++ framework; also optionally depending on exis

I've seen engineers with prior C++ background and barely any knowledge of Rust brought in to work on a well established and large Rust codebase with coding guidelines and the such, and they were rocking in less than a month.

As someone said above in the thread, segfaults is what you get if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, you get silent memory corruption that you will eventually notice through bugs popping up in seemingly unrelated parts of code.

... and taking it one step further, humans spend millions of hours watching those shows and movies, just to be able to consume movements of some pixels and parse it into some storylines. What an inefficient way. How much time will be saved

I was a happy user of CLion + intellij-rust since its first version, I believe, advertising it to everyone. Switched to neovim + RA half a year ago and don't think I'm ever going back :)
