Yep! A choice will be made either way so I don’t see the point in not voting. That’s just my $0.02.

I’m going with seasoned. The Pentium II I ran Gentoo on is old 😄

This is wild. It doesn’t seem like 2.4 was all that long ago!

Search is another key benefit. It’s really nice being able to search the gamut of open source repositories for bits of code.

I’ve had a similar experience. Yes, I have had days where I spent a significant amount of time beating my head against the wall, but that’s part of the learning curve. Those days stretched farther apart pretty rapidly.

• NixOS
• Hyprland (pending migration to Niri)
• Emacs (eglot)

I occasionally use Jetbrains products as well (e.g. maintaining Kotlin projects).

I much prefer the technical architecture of Lemmy over PieFed. I understand the qualms with the core developers, but it feels dirty to move from Rust to Python.

In all fairness, I grew up in a small town in a very red state, but the education system there proved better than larger, more progressive parts of the state. The education I received was likely an outlier and not representative of the norm, but it did teach me that educators in an area do not necessarily mirror the rest of the population.

Thanks for confirming. I probably sounded too condescending but I wasn’t sure if it was a false memory.

I loved math as a kid though, so I ran through the curriculum as fast as I could to get to the good stuff. I think having older siblings helped - it gave me a preview of more interesting material.

I’m sorry but isn’t this elementary school math?

Well said. I personally enjoy using a systems-level language with a handful of functional programming features. I also enjoy the support for async runtimes and other concurrency features (channels).

Rust allows me to get away from more boring (to me) languages (e.g. JS/TS, Java, Kotlin).

I think there’s a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.

Yep - I don’t really know who these evangelists are either. I have read about “fearless concurrency,” which seems pretty spot-on.

Welcome to the party!

I read over Biden’s statement, and it makes sense to me. Hunter was singled out for political purposes. It would seem weird if Biden didn’t issue the pardon.

Yep. They’re coming back in a big fuckin’ way.

This doesn’t make any sense in the context of the article. And we’re all deeply disappointed in the white people too.

I sure wish my tax dollars could help people instead.
