“You can turn it off”, “it’s an optional feature”, they didn’t even last a year! What ever happened to slowly boiling the frog?

Ahh! Of course! The problem with Concord was the price! That’s why no one cared during its free beta weekend!

My phone app(also google phone app) is only 91mb’s, Google Pixel 6, everything up to date.

IMO the best way to start in a new language is to rewrite some of your previous projects in that language.

I generally start out by rewriting a couple simple 1-3 function console apps, basic leet code stuff like; palindrome, fizzbuzz, reverse an array in place, etc, and some simple unit tests for them. Then I go ahead and rewrite some of my previous projects or uni assignments in that language.

At that point I generally have a good understanding of basics and have an idea of how to approach a new project. When I got to this point in rust I then started on threading, async, why it’s easy to return a String and an ordeal to return &str, etc.

Something I’ve always found funny about the “AI will replace programmers soon” is that this means AI’s can create AI’s and isn’t this basically the end of the economy?

Every office worker is out of a job just like that and labourers only have as long as it takes to sort out the robot bodies then everyone is out of a job.

You thought the great recession was bad? You ain’t seen nothing!

Imagine voting for Voldemort

Man I just realised there’s a Gemini button! I never actually open the app, I use shortcuts from notifications! Good on google letting users opt out of something basically no one wants!

The AOSP is a huge success and phones are really only the tip of the iceberg, android runs everywhere and is basically responsible for the mainstream adoption of “smart” devices.

It’s a small OS that runs on basically anything and you can stick it on most computers regardless of how strange the hardware setup is.

Is it perfect? No, as a project android is basically maintained by Google alone and Google obviously doesn’t think it’s perfect, or fuschia wouldn’t exist.

I started learning Lua for a WoW add-on. Not even making my own add-on, just tweaking someone else’s.

If you look at projects in more popular languages like JS, Rust, Python. There is plenty of new blood in the contributors list. I won’t speculate as to why, but it looks like the new generation doesn’t like c and c++.

I think this is also backed up by the Linux kernel and thunderbird projects. Both are old c/c++ codebases and both have stated they are adopting rust in hopes of drawing interest (and contributors) from the rust community.

IMO, I’d say Dioxus is more of a portable front end framework. If you’re looking for an electron alternative i.e, something to run web applications like they are native apps, I’d recommend Tauri.

Also, this might be a bit out of date, but I believe Dioxus is using Tauri’s stuff under the hood. Although I heard this before the dev went full time on Dioxus, it could’ve changed, I know they have done a lot of work on it.

To do quick and simple explanations:

var test int = 0

assign an int, var = let in rust land

:= 

This is basically an inferred assignment e.g.

a := "hello world"

The compiler will know this is a string without me explicitly saying

func (u User) hi() {}

To return to rust land this is a function that implements User. In OOP land we would say that this function belongs to the user class. In Go, just like in rust we don’t say if a function returns void so this function is for User objects and doesn’t return anything:

func (u User) hi(s string) string {}

If it took in a string and returned a string it would look like this.

map[string] int {}

I will give you that this syntax is a bit odd but this is just a hashmap/dictionary where the key is a string and the value is an int

I’m not sure this is a fair comparison, since this is only coming to RCS and not SMS my (completely unsubstantiated) guess would be that this is a message protocol issue.

On the other hand Signal is an encrypted internet messaging service and editing internet messages has been easy for everyone not named twitter for years.

I feel like helium works as well as helix. When I search Helix I don’t get the editor but if I search Helix Editor I will get what I’m looking for.

When I search Helium editor I don’t get any exact matches, but of course SEO is a dark and mystical art so your mileage may vary.

I guess that’s meant to be 2025 since the graph is projected? Pretty funky screw up though.

In that case, this is also a yes.

• Kind of, I work mainly in PHP, Python & JS the only one of those that I was exposed to in school was PHP. I learnt the other two on my own after graduating. I did also get a little exposure to git in school but I learnt more about it in a month or so of being hired then I did in school. I also got a lot of, how to do documentation, how to analyse requirements, etc.
• what does this mean?
• 1000% yes.

I’m a developer working for a SaaS company and you didn’t NEED a degree to get hired but it sure was a “nice to have.”
