And at least in the Unix context it’s a positive term.

ChatGPT has been spot on for my DDLs. I was working on a personal project and was feeling really lazy about setting up a postgres schema. I said I wanted a postgres DDL and just described the application in detail and it responded with pretty much what I would have done (maybe better) with perfect relationships between tables and solid naming conventions with very little work for me to do on it. I love it for more boilerplate stuff or sorta like you said just getting me going. Super complicated code usually doesn’t work perfectly but I always use it for my DDLs now and similar now.

The real problem is when people don’t realize something is wrong and then get frustrated by the bugs. Though I guess that’s a great learning opportunity on its own.

Pictures you can hear.

Then offer education or ignore the post. You know what’s easier than OP googling the question? You not responding to OP if you don’t have anything of value to add. You’re here with a passive aggressive “let me Google that for you” bullshit attitude yet YOU’RE upset at OP for not being better at searching for their answers?

I agree people should put more effort into trying to figure it out on their own and learning how to ask good questions but the tone of your comments is more detrimental to the quality of these communities than a “stupid question” ever will be.

Now we have millions of useless posts being archived like this one.

The archives! Why won’t anyone think of the archives!?

If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?

Not OP comment but I had no idea Wayland supported all of that. Thanks for sharing! I really need to leave my Linux bubble more often.

It was also one of the only (that I can remember aside from maybe SUSE - maaaybe Slack?) actually putting their distro in stores back in the 90s. I was a middle schooler and used Christmas money to buy RedHat at Best Buy (I had no idea what I was doing) because I thought it was the distro to get. I can’t remember a single other distro more synonymously associated with Linux than RedHat because they were marketed hard and were widely available for purchase which I’m guessing made them at least appear more legitimate to new Linux consumer and business adopters.

I think I might have either misread or replied to the wrong comment because I honestly can’t remember the context.

This might be my favorite joke here yet. Best part is it’s not really even a joke.

There are a lot of areas you can learn. Do you have a particular area you have more interest in? Web app security, network security, systems, etc

Ah interesting. Thank you, you’re giving me something to read about that I never considered for crates. I guess I just assumed because of the scrutiny Rust was built with and continues to go through that it would also apply to verifying crates. I have definitely heard about it with NPM so it should have been obvious that it might not be any different for crates. Thanks again!

What is insecure about it?

God I miss the IRC days

I’m sorry but this reads like someone that hasn’t used Rust or hasn’t spent much time with it. You’re generalizing Rust with other languages while forgetting that some fads turn into standards.

If everyone stopped trying new things we’d never see progress.

Edit: fixed typo

Yeah if someone that is blind comes across a page I’m sure waiting for the description to generate is more valuable/worthwhile than a faster experience with no information at all.

To that point it’s probably going to be a lot slower than running it on an HDD too. That said, the USB performance is surprisingly good when you consider you’re literally running an OS over USB and the OS isn’t even in an optimized state.

I recommend the official rust book (aka the documentation. It’s truly fantastic) followed by this actual book https://www.zero2prod.com/

That combo not only taught me Rust concepts and the Rust “way” but also got me applying the knowledge in a way that gave me a lot of context. You don’t need the zero2prod but I liked it more than any other paid books I’ve tried.

This so much. Nothing worse than when a niche service emails you or push notifications you to use something you only need to use when you have a very specific need to haha.
