I'm not so sure making nix comprehensible is realistic. When technologies fall under this level of complexity they require die hard fans to use it and keep it alive In all honesty, I would consider a complete rewrite at this point. I

I know Haskell, regularly write in rust for fun, and nix is by far the most complicated thing I've tried to learn hahaha. Glad you were able to figure it out, and seriously thank you for sharing your opinion of how you view it even aft

It's not just you, the user experience of nix is terrible. It's biggest feature of "pure" builds is mostly unnecessary given the complexity. It's runner up feature of configuring builds with a few scripts can also e

It's possible the author actually made this mistake, and because c++ is C++ they didn't realize why/how. Not a lot of programmers have a good handle on c++, maybe even most don't... Hence these other languages.

Yea I hate watching all the political shit. Like people taking screen shots of themselves in virtual meetings smiling and laughing to like message to higher ups "how good they work together" when really they are huge assholes lol.

I work at a place where if you don't work overtime you are considered garbage. Everyone will beat up on you any chance they can because they are bitter. Meanwhile, not everyone has that luxury. Single parents, caregivers, etc. Just be

There's nothing wrong with DRY. It's a concept not a law. I once saw some VB6 code that was 30k lines of copy pasted if/then statements. DRY would have reduced this to about 500 lines of highly readable code. Are there cases

You do realize people write rust for a reason right? Not because it's new and shiny...

by crabbygrabby 4y ago
That's mostly a thing teenagers are doing to learn CS, when it's not it's because the software is vulnerable or slow and benefits from a rewrite in a safe language.

You literally cannot get them period in rust. Like it is not possible. That's the point of rust.

Learn both. Go takes about 10minutes to write code in, a week to figure out harder stuff. Rust takes a few weeks. Both are good to know and fun to learn

If they allowed medical marijuana use during off hours this would probably turn around rapidly for just about all of it's branches. I remember back in the 2000's soldiers were injecting other people's urine into themselves to

Sounds like you got annoyed trying to learn something new, quit, and decided it's not worth your time. When people tell you it takes a few weeks to get the hang of rust they aren't kidding. Most people aren't the exception to

I see a lot of people put rust down for what it is today, and then in the next breathe wistfully wonder about the future of zig, or some other language, etc. It's just not fair. Rust today let's you avoid allocations, if you want

by crabbygrabby 4y ago
After having seeing GC after GC fail to live up to expectations... I'm still voting for Rust. So much more control over wether you even want to allocate or not. I know where you are coming from but, I see it differently I guess.

Testing features on Linux. Sounds dumb a d obvious, but if you use a windows laptop for work, being able to pipe into a Linux VM that is corporate approved is nice. Also use it for certain debuggers that aren't supported on my host OS.

Yea I think the starting premiss here is flawed from the get go. MD is so powerful, kind of dangerous, but very powerful.

Honestly, I think you all should consider changing that policy. Not only because I've seen it broken before, but because major version changes imply things can be broken at upgrade time, and features are settled for a long time. Good t

That's how I use it too, mostly because I personally find JavaScript and typescript frameworks harder to use than rust. Managing data in js is hard for me without static typing. Everyone will have different comfort levels but I agree,

You can use tauri without concerning yourself with rust at all. You can use typescript or JavaScript. Optionally if you want too you can write backend stuff that needs to go fast in safe or unsafe rust. It's kinda dreamy if you need to

Agree screenshots are good, but it looks like a normal desktop window with js running inside.

Been using tauri since it was in alpha for hobby project. Experience overall is pretty good. You really can call backend rust from js, in a lightweight browser window. It is probably the most approachable technology for me for making deskto

Honestly, looking at the censored words in the config.hjson as of oct28 2021, I don't see anything political. Mostly filtering literally racist and sexual slurs in the same way television/radio/the workplace does... Only in 2

I like knowing what technologies were made with to some extent. It can give me a feel for what type of bugs I might run into or what the installation process looks like. Agreed to some extent though, once something is done, what it was writ

In the US 70 hr work weeks at startups and even certain industry's are not abnormal. Are those people usually making good decisions, thinking clearly, and not being jerks? Nope, but it's what a lot of people willingly do. I'v
