Crashing through unwrap is not necessarily restoring unsafe behavior of other languages though. I’d consider this wayyyy better than silently continuing with invalid value until the program tries something that doesn’t make sense/is overreaching and it crashes.

I don’t do actual video game with steam or ps5 and such, so I don’t know if you’re into it.

Me and my wife play this game called bomb squad, it’s one of a very few games that run natively on linux (without steam and such), is free to install/play and works with game controllers.

For me it’s making something. Mostly coding a new feature on my personal project. Making a new map/plot.

Sometimes just winning a videogame match, or getting that in game achievement.

As someone who has been working on a project involving a network (directed graph) with nodes that need references on both sides, I do agree with many points in the article. And yeah the burrow checker isn’t perfect, as someone who came from C I do get to points where the logic is fine, but burrow checker doesn’t get it and I’m like “C would let me just do it”.

But I think I don’t agree with the parts about it not getting better. Author said he’s using it intermittently for a few years, I also have been using it for last few years and now I just write things the way rust expects it. And I think it has helped me not worry about a lot of runtime bugs. I just worry about the logical bugs and that’s about it.

Not perfect, but I think it’s pretty good. Also if you really want to force rust to do things, sometimes a little unsafe rust gets you there.

Game controller works fine in the computer. It’s the applications that need to support it. Problem is finding normal applications (not games) support it. I could map the controller to keyboard keys, but it’d be nice to have it work directly.

I am just using Firefox to open web sites for most things. For games I open them directly. And I have kdeconnect to control it from my phone.

Ideally I’d love a launcher that just stays on there forever, with some virtual desktop options where I can open different apps. If it can support game controller to choose apps along side kdeconnect it’d be the best.

I want it to be run as a desktop environment. Is that possible? I already have laptop connected to tv with hdmi. I just use it like a normal computer. But I don’t have any applications that can work well with that setup with TV like UI.

I do have a career, I am a specialist of (kinda) GIS and data analysis related to hydrology. I’m currently on the path to complete my PhD within the next year. I have been really successful at pitching my programming ideas on non-programming domain. Solve problems for clients, make applications/algorithms that can outperform what they had before. It does sometimes make me feel like I’m a bit too wide on my skillsets related to others in my field, but at least in my immediate circles, I am still as good in the core aspects of my field. But there are so many people that are better specialist than me if I search around.

But now, due to the current climate, and situation in the USA, I have been thinking I might have to move to another country before I finish PhD, and I might not be able to find a job in another country immediately, so I’m thinking of finding some small gigs I could do for some side income.

Thank you, something like this would work well, if they are small tasks that help the main contributor because they don’t have the time. I do have experience working on those for free :D

I don’t know about the big examples like the one in wiki though

I had upwork account since a long time, last time I tried (was a few years back), it just said “we have a lot of people with your skill, so no” lol

Thank you. I looked into it. I did make a profile, let’s see how it goes.

I feel like there should be something like that for sure. But I don’t really know how to find it or convince people to hire me for a problem they don’t know they have. It’s be great if I knew owners personally, but I’m not really outgoing type (who reason I got good with programming lol)

Thank you.

In this case installing ecm-tools (I use arch) didn’t fix it. That was the first thing I tried before making an issue.

It needed extra packages for cmake (refer to the issue for details)

Idk why all on screen keyboard come without tab key in plasma. I have a laptop while in a tablet mode I can’t use terminal at all because there’s no tab key.

Edit: issue made and fixed https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-keyboard/-/issues/12

Looks like I need kde-gitlab account fpr making issues.

I couldn’t compile it,

cmake …

I don’t know how comfortable you are writing your own, but pdf saves the components with coordinates, bounding box etc so you should be able to automate it with a small script that reads pdf components directly.

Also try qpdf to convert pdf into qdf format, then you can open it in a text editor, find the element you want to remove. Look at examples of few pages, find the pattern and do regex replace. Make sure to keep a copy and check the diff before accepting it.

Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?

Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it’ll work. You can write ‘feet per second’ instead of ‘ft/s’ and it’ll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there’s less chances of it making a mistake.

I also like it very much. I hope they make a library for it soon, I can’t wait to use it to make unit aware calculators.

I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it’s two units combined.

Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that’s just the final value.
