How you feel relates to you and your preferences and doesn't really say anything about Rust versus let's say Go. Is your software more performant and does this translate to additional customers or reduced costs? Is your software m

And yet those C and C++ projects continue to be very popular and successful. :-)

Which libraries did you use in C++?

“With c++, once you get a segfault you never really know if you've actually fixed it or just gotten lucky” This only applies if one is randomly changing things instead of actually fixing the problem. :-)

Even if that were the case, the extra money does buy extra quality unless the company’s greedy and pockets the entire difference. I’m not aware of that being the case for Korg and looking at the specs it’s clear that the Korg device has m

Such bargains exist because the manufacturers treat workers poorly and skimp on safety - many products contain toxic chemicals, may catch fire, contain sharp parts, etc. There’s also zero recourse should the product cause damage.

Here where? This is standard procedure in e.g. Germany based on press reports and articles written by lawyers. I don’t think it’s better in other European countries.

The Syntakt is not battery powered. I guess one could buy a beefy battery pack and adapter cable, but… what’s the point? The Tracks is nice, but the synth engines are not fully accessible in the hw interface. At least the params are labeled

There are a ton of replies with counter-examples, but all of those are not exactly like the OP-1: a fun, easy to use, ultraportable, immediate music creation sketchpad. Many other grooveboxes are quite painful to use. Here I’d include the K

That’s an odd example, since she wasn’t even up for election, she was “nominated”. At least two German political parties complained about backroom deals and an undemocratic process.

Self-neglect of the EU for “good causes” outside the EU is a well-established pattern with the media and political elites and also in significant parts of the financially comfortable middle class. In the end, for them, poverty and additiona

Don’t know much about Japan, but German nazis were not only subjected to trial, but some of them even got jobs in e.g the US. So losers do have rights, even literal nazis in 1945. From the P.O.V of China, Brasil and many other countries it

Those that want to rewrite everything in the cool tech of the day, or want to TDD everything or write Electron applications work maybe not at 0.1x but certainly 0.5x of the ability of a normal programmer.

I’ve read some chapters from the linked book to complement “How Linux Works” from No Starch Press and while the information was useful and seemed correct, in the end I decided to stick with HLW, since it was both broader and deeper at ~460

Disagree on the US following the EU lead. Yes, the EU sanctions have perhaps more bite because of closer relations to Russia, but the EU required a lot of convincing and internal discussions to reach this point. There are important differen

Based on media interviews with experts it doesn’t seem like the West has any legitimate claim on the money/assets and there’s a lot to untangle to make it legally possible to touch them. Even if that were to happen, the consequences wo

Ukraine will take decades to recover unless they receive massive economical aid from the EU or US. Right now they say they will provide that help, but at least in the case of the EU I don’t see how that’s possible given the big economical a

Sanctioning and sending weapons has become a (dangerous) game of one-upmanship. But before it reached this point, Europe was very much split on both because it can’t stand up to Russia militarily and was also cautious about hurting Russia e

First of all, the destruction of property, the deaths and the displacement of millions of people that Ukraine’s suffering is certainly not winning. They’re also not punishing Russia, as they lack the capability of doing so. They’re fighting

Funding means giving financial support. You’re referring to political support. Different thing. And for better or worse he is the president elect (as much as that may be worth in Russia) and is a very powerful person. As an aside, I wonder

Russian citizens aren’t funding the war machine. The EU, China, India, etc are. But sanctioning them is admittedly actually hard :-)

Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan lost a war and they were punished by the victors. Makes sense and is a well established pattern. Russia is in a war with Ukraine and it’s getting punished by… the US. Well, technically US allies are also invo

SAD is not social anxiety, please pay attention to what you’re replying to.

But that’s unfortunately a rather useless form of socialization, as most of his life interactions will be face to face. Job, romantic life, etc.

by blub 4y ago
Social anxiety is as much of a mental illness as the fear leaving a bad impression on a date, fear of spiders or fear of doing poorly at an interview and enjoys the same kinds of legal protections. Which is none.

When one is drowning in a torrent of superfluous UI changes and the UX mediocrity of Windows, Android or Linux, poor software seems inevitable. Those that do notice, likely assume that the dev can’t do better or doesn’t care. What would you

Since it looks like you want to use it for some personal projects and you’re already comfortable with C, I’d suggest C++. I’ve found that Rust requires more careful design to satisfy the borrow checker, whereas in C++ you’d just copy or use

When pandas can’t manage a data set, I would convert to hdf5 and use the vaex pandas-like API. This is very fast and memory efficient (out of core) for my typical 40-70GB data set size and reportedly remains fast up to 1 TB. The key ingredi

The author doesn’t fundamentally misunderstand programming language design, but rather misunderstands programmers. Most programmers don’t need someone to tell them which tools to use. Of those green enough to need it, they certainly shouldn
