Top paying technologies interestingly has Go, Rust and Zig almost same medium salary, and very close (in that order). Immadiately followed by “Bash/Shell”? Yet, the most used languages such as Python and JavaScript are way down. Funny how Bash and Shell scripting is more used than Java, C#, C++ and C, while on the same time earns more money than those languages.

Can you make a living as a “Bash”/“Shell” programmer? :D

Public good does not mean invitation into license violation, such as training AI models without consent.

No. That does not mean they have to program in both languages. If the programmer only understand one language (which would be a shame), then they only need to program in their field. This increases the talent base, not reduces it. C programmers do not need to be a Rust expert, so what in the world are you saying there? They just need to cooperate!

iced really need better documentation. I try to get into it and have a hard time.

If we can believe random strangers in the internet, then Linus uses a self maintained lighter version of Emacs, or has. Looks like Linus is an Emacs guy.

You can’t improve and break silence without discussing and making changes. The existing maintainers won’t live forever, having Rust in the Kernel is a bet on the future. Linus wouldn’t have adopted and accepted Rust, if he wasn’t thinking its worth it. And looks like it was already worth it.

Article is from February 6, 2023. I thought its something “new”.

Reminds me of what happened with PopOS. I did not expect this to happen with Debian. I’m glad you figured something out and have a working system again! Maybe we really need Atomic style distributions for stable environments.

You are right, I shouldn’t have doubt an Archuser. BTW, I almost use Arch.

Hopefully he survives it. I keep my fingers crossed.

That linked reply doesn’t explain anything. It just says “bro trust him”. Just because you and the AUR maintainer says its trustful, does not make it clear whats behind the binary blobs. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, if we can’t verify. In my opinion, its absurd calling others absurd for not trusting the word of others.

I used Ventoy (its still on my USB stick). Its actually a pretty cool concept. Normally without Ventoy, you would flash your Linux distribution on the USB stick. And then you can boot from it, right?

Ventoy instead allows you to have a folder where you put an ISO without flashing it, and then you can boot from it by selecting in the menu. You just need to flash Ventoy once, as the base system, then you can put as many ISO files into that directory. I tested it and have 7 different Linux distributions (ranging from 1 GB to 4 GB variants) on the same USB stick, and I can boot any of them without flashing again. Replacing ISO is extremely easy, just delete it and copy a new one. Filenames does not matter, anything can be found.

They should split it in two drivers, one legacy and one all other.

Thanks. Is this suggestion towards this ? script or the output from the cheat.sh web service? Because I’m not the author of the web service itself, I just created this script to make use of it.

Ah it was intentional and now I see how it was meant. It makes perfectly sense, it was just not clear before. :-) Human language and interpreter is not as precise like programming language.^^

Oh, you was talking about resizing. I see. Yes, Btree does not allow resizing. Trying so will snap window back to position, just as you were saying. When I read “drag”, I thought you meant placing the window. The default “Tile” or “Quarter” could be used instead if window resizing is a requirement. But off course they do not function exactly like Btree.

Krohnkite

In krohnkite I can’t use btree while also keeping the tiling part. If I drag a tile while in btree in krohnkite they just snap back to their previous position.

I use a 3 different layouts, one of them Btree. And drag and drop one window over the other will swap position of both windows. So functionally, it is working (for me) and maybe another plugin or configuration in Plasma is in the way?

Polonium

Closing all windows and relaunching them is from users perspective actually not too different from logging out and in again, at least from my view. From time to time I’m looking at the source in Github to see what the recent advancements are. But it seems development is on halt at the moment, with only minor changes over longer period of time.

On KDEs side I saw some update notes specifically mentioning fixes for Polonium, which is a good sign. My hope is that development of Polonium will take off soon.

So yeah, exception as part of explicit function signature is a vast improvement, I completely agree

Hmm, I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic. In my reply I didn’t meant encoding Exceptions into Type system. Is this a type and you probably meant “Error Types as part of” instead “exception as part of”?

Honestly I don’t know how Exceptions as part of type system would even look like. Because each function call in a chain would need to have all information from previous function call, otherwise that information gets lost to the next caller. The problem is the hierarchy of function and method calls. Somewhere some objects and functions can be edited to Throw a new Exception, that is not handled through the entire chain. And for the higher function caller, there is 0% way of knowing that (through code, besides documentation off course).

Read my reply with a handful of sea salt. I just read tutorials and documentation a bit and did Hello World.

Zig is pretty cool too! It can run C code directly just like C++ does (I think), kind of drop in replacement. From my reading so far, Error Handling is kind of a marriage between Go’s and Rust’s Error handling. Actually pretty cool. It has Error Types, but is kept relatively simple and doesn’t force to do all the stuff. It has Try and Catch keywords to handle errors elegantly, but don’t be fooled, this has nothing to do with Try…Catch blocks for Exceptions. Zigs Try and Catch are more like Rusts Result type handling, at least from what I read so far.

I lean more towards Zig than Go, but it still has not reached stable 1.0 release.
