@pro Heh. Python is probably Java's equal as well, as long as you properly test your code. They're even similar in execution speed these days. You can add datatype enforcement with python.
I'd say the main reason for going to Rust rather than Java or Python is if you want your executables to be a file, rather than a folder full of garbage with a script to launch it, and you want a bit more speed and low level access. For the embedded low level development I do, the single executable, speed, and low level access is a benefit. I'm often running my code on single core 500mhz systems, shared with a half dozen other apps, and being able to just stop the service, scp a single file in, and start it is often a very nice thing compared to shoving a tarball through and extracting it.
(Though, you can make Python be a single file if you use the system environment rather than a bespoke python environment just for the application.)

@tarek I was a vim user for ages, I still use it for remote systems, but for development I've gone to Helix. It's more of a lateral move though, it feels like vim, but changes the paradigm slightly to a mark first then run command rather than making the selection part of the command and I find it faster now that using vim.
@anime (In fact, I watched the anime thinking it was the one you posted, but I realized I didn't remember a single thing that happened in the anime story, now that I've gone back and looked at the manga I know why.)
@gat @not_benis @0 @splitshockvirus Part of that is they usually buy in bulk then break the bulk packs down for multiple people. For an individual buying a 24 pack of the same color yarn would be an investment that usually didn't pay off, but for a store that can sell it for 2-3x as much individually, it may eventually pay off as long as they sell a decent amount of it.
@pro I'm lucky enough to have a laptop with a serial port on it. It's not my main laptop, in fact it's over 10 years old. It's a toughbook though, so it's still pretty nice.
I was able to solve the qcma issue at least, though there's really nowhere to report it to since the libvitamtr repository has been read-only for 4 years. Maybe I should fork it and actually start making it work better...
After years of qcma just working, its now failing with an xml parsing error. I've done a bit of looking with verbose mode and the xml it's parsing looks perfectly fine. I'm guessing there's some stupid change to some xml library that it uses, and now it's extra, extra sensitive to there being a null terminator on the string within range of the length or something...
@barnoid This is why I stopped buying Nvidia(Novideo) cards after switching to linux.
@pro I've since switched to helix instead of vim for most of my editing... but I never really used gvim much except way back when I was still on windows.
@zaitcev https://sahanjournal.com/health/sleep-science-black-insomnia-health-equity-minnesota/ Well, the article exists, and that line is in it.
@union @blaaablaaaa @deprecated_ii (Though, I think the Mako is just getting promoted to that because if the Kinzhal qualifies, then the Mako certainly does as well. Prior to that, we wouldn't have considered it hypersonic.)
@developing_agent @PatternChaser @DJDarren I still use a lower end device ($200ish) as my main phone, which means I avoid doing anything unnecessary on my phone. anything beyond the simplest tasks, I'd want to drag out the Steamdeck and hook up to the phone's hotspot.
@union @blaaablaaaa @deprecated_ii Is it terminal hypersonic, or only hypersonic when it's high up? For the former, I don't think even Russia has that yet. For the latter, US has a ton of them already, they're just really big. As for ARRW, I think it was cancelled in favor of the Mako.
@developing_agent @PatternChaser @DJDarren Hard to keep running old devices when the new ones continue getting much faster, and thus the software is being written for devices several times as fast with more memory. Few people test on old hardware so the devs no longer notice if it takes 3-4 seconds to do something there, as long as it's under a second on their shiny new devices.
