Good luck 🍀

Well, yeah, it is everywhere, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a good language to learn in 2024

Better start with this book, Rust will feel natural after that:

But you are right, it is better suited for one things and worse for other. It’s not strictly functional, though, and most likely when it will have been maturing for as long as C++ or at least C# it will also have tools and features that make it better suited even for game development

26 isn’t old, if you don’t mean that’s your commercial experience with C amount, then it is

You may take a look yourself at the repo while I will try to describe it below.

I use nix-darwin on top of nix installation to manage most of system settings and build.

I am not quite sure now, but I think, I remember having to do xcode-select --install, can’t quite remember if that was part of workaround for issues or part of normal process. Oh, and there were some discoverability issues with bin directories, I had to work around them by adding extraInit to zsh that includes binaries into PATH. This might be based on my poor skills in configuring everything, though.

Some of the packages needed are installed from nixpkgs, but some are installed by brew based on configuration.nix so these have to be upgraded in brew and don’t get upgraded upon rebuild (it looks like the intended way would be to wipe them on each rebuild, but that would take longer)

I develop in Rust, so I also use rust-overlay instead of rustup to manage Rust and nixpkgs-cross-overlay for cross-platform builds. Build scripts also create docker containers descripted with nix in our case.

There were regular issues with Nix installation upon macOS updates, requiring me to either add back Nix to zshrc or completely reinstall it (the latter was not necessary, likely), but those seem to be fixed, as of now.

I think you will have less trouble managing reproducible machines with Nix, but I also think that it will require a bit more than just copying config and running Nix. There will also be issues of installing some software and packages locally, that will allow the developers to break builds across the machines when one have something locally that other doesn’t, but this can be mitigated by processes and getting them acquainted with Nix, at least it did it with me 🌚

Nix is so good when it works, when I read such posts I feel strongly compelled to use it. I also use it and maintaining build and system with Nix, especially on macOS is sometimes huge pain, unfortunately

Debian stable is an incredibly low bar in terms of new packages. I’m on NixOS, too, if that matters, and I don’t have a strong opinion on how fresh packages are, although I do find it far from ideal in other areas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Octopus TV-shop delivers to an elderly lady that forgot to buy pickles for the salad. Nothing out of the ordinary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I second using the safe razor, albeit I would recommend using different ones for face and balls. The reason is that I assume that an ideal and universal razor may not exist, the ones I tried are usually either better suited for the body, or more comfortable to apply to the face, that is if we exclude those that are equally bad for everything.

Regarding the dulling of the blade, it may greatly depend on the brand and quality, so some experiments are required ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s either in right-click menu or under settings (gear icon on the top right) of game page in library. Same place you can use to hide the game from yourself if you’re done with it or it’s just some crap you no longer want to see.

This looks oddly specific, is there some hidden meaning to this?

Especially those A20 cheat sheets are so damn hard to read

I’m sold, we should botch all other formats for origami

TBF, I only remember messages about “out of paper” or “all trays are empty”. Why specify paper size if the printer accepts different ones, anyway?

That’s how it starts, you see the usefulness of one case, the next thing you know is you’re measuring distance in sheep and power in mice

Just ask them to fax you

If you have a hard time doing that you can just swallow the egg whole, it’ll be transferred to your butt eventually.

I’m not an electrician enough to say, but if I remember it right, AC + high voltage is what Tesla generators use to generate all that fancy air zaps. That’s more high frequency than the consumer grade AC, and high frequency makes it somewhat safe for living things because electricity doesn’t flow deep into the body in that case.

That’s just a new game plus for electricity

He’s almost completely covered in fur yet his armpits are shaved amidst fur, that’s a nice touch, too
