(they/he/she)
I think most people would agree with you, but that isn’t really the issue. Rather the question is where the threshold for rewriting in Rust vs maintaining in C lies. Rewriting in any language is costly and error-prone, so at what point do the benefits outweigh that cost and risk? For a legacy, battle-tested codebase (possibly one of the most widely tested codebases out there), the benefit is probably on the lower side.
I’ve been using niri for work for a little while and it’s great. I’ve been wanting this functionality for a couple years, but I wasn’t really in a place to hack it into i3. I’m glad someone’s done the work and it’s good.
I’d like to be able to drag windows with the mouse, as there are a lot of movement shortcuts to try and remember for two monitors, but otherwise I’ve had very few issues switching.
I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.
Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.
Not ground coffee, because I measure before I grind, but I have this jar that previously held instant coffee. It perfectly fits a bag of coffee, and I think it’s probably more airtight than the bag.
Eraserhead has ruined this for me.
Ethan Iverson has a pretty interesting article about jazz pianists and how their individual styles changed (or didn’t) over the course of their careers, and he noted that IIRC many pianists whose technique was mainly finger-focused had a significant shift in style later in life versus pianists whose technique involved more arm movement.
Either #2 or #3. /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin exist for that purpose, but some people prefer to keep personal scripts and such in home, maybe as part of a dotfiles repo or something, and so just add ~/.dotfiles/scripts or something to PATH.
I feel the same way except I’m already here.
Hmm… I admit I didn’t follow the video and who was speaking very well and didn’t notice hostility that others seem to pick up on. I’ve worked with plenty of people who turn childish when a technical discussion doesn’t go their way, and I’ve had the luxury of mostly ignoring them, I guess.
It sounded like he was asking for deeper specification than others were willing or able to provide. That’s a constant stalemate in software development. He’s right to push for better specs, but if there aren’t any then they have to work with what they’ve got.
My first response here was responding to the direct comparison of languages, which is kind of apples and oranges in this context, and I guess the languages involved aren’t even really the issue.
