@engelbart It would be a stretch to say anyone needed it (outside, say, mediaevalists, historical linguists, or a particular breed of time traveller) but it's a beautiful language to learn and teaches a lot about the roots of our present-day English.
Still can't accomodate myself to #rust syntax. Whenever I see it it's ugly and alien to me.
Interested enough when this will end.

Everyone talks about how tiktok destroyed youth but no one talks about Tiktaalik; who is responsible for every problem.

The planets to scale in every way... plus dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto, the only two mapped dwarf planets.
The material from which all planets grew was orbiting the Sun. When growing planets attract this material, they get larger but also faster, as they also take on the material's momentum. That's why large planets like Jupiter are generally faster!
Now I have to watch " All Quiet on the Western Front " version from 1930.

Helly fosstodon from the #rstats package rtoot. Just trying out if I can post with an image and alt text :)
Why webassembly is a big thing?
Isn't js just compile with JIT ?

@engelbart I found the book Zero to Production in Rust (https://www.zero2prod.com/) a great 2nd step once I finished the Rust book. You get to build something - and get help along the way! #rust #zerotoprod

I hadn't considered how some of the semantics of Rust would make writing a good linked list library harder than usual. I'm also surprised there isn't one in the standard library. This post had a good coverage of the topic, from this non Rustian's perspective anyway. #rustlang #programming #rust diziet.dreamwidth.org/13476.ht…
Just finished reading the first book about #rust .
Perhaps I need to implement something to memorize.
I've got an idea
I am a pretty slow, normal human being, nothing like a 10x young genius.
But I have almost 20 years of IT experience and some common knowledge of related things.
I'm thinking of streaming my attempt of implementing a service on a new for me language with the idea that there is nothing to be afraid of.
I will google something, copy paste, stuck with errors and think that I am hopeless for one minute and that I am a genius for another.
In other words it will be like "an usual Monday of a software engineer".
But may be the fact that eventually I overcome all these challenges will encourage someone not to be afraid.
What do you think? Stupid enough?

I may be old, but I'm slow
Just watched "all the quiet on the western front".
Well, I liked it.
And I liked even more what they didn't show exactly but made us understand.
CW idiocracy
"CW" virtue signalling is ridiculous.
Have you watched Argentina, 1985?

I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.
Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.
Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.

I'm impressed with the robustness of the mastodon-fediverse so far, under extreme duress.

Once crypto was advertised during the superbowl, it was clear the end was near. On the plus side, #calbears will soon get to sell the naming rights to "FTX field at Memorial Stadium" again.

Happy to be on Mastodon and try to figure out a new social media site - I love the fact we can have so many characters
