Thank you! It was a really fun experience.

The Russians were less comfortable with English, much less so than with Japanese. I am a native English speaker.

Yes, in Japan.

I had the same issue. I enabled the option “Open links in external browser,” and now it uses Firefox again, albeit by launching the full app separately instead of as an embedded activity.

This OS seems to have fixed all the things, based on what I constantly hear about it. Is Nix really all it’s cracked up to be?

I haven’t figured out an easy way to install a specific version of an app, which means that when an app update is broken I’m out of luck until a fix is released, so I’ll install the snap of the app until then (Spotify is a recent example). Don’t like that.

I think you can probably make the question a lot more interesting by asking them to implement max without using any branching syntax. I’m not saying that is necessarily a good interview question, but it is certainly more interesting. That might also be where some of the more esoteric answers are coming from.

I literally just watched the video from Louis Rossman, and came straight here. Pleased to see everyone already talking about it!

I actually vastly prefer this behavior. It allows me to jump to (readable) source in library code easily in my editor, as well as experiment with different package versions without having to redownload, and (sort of) work offline too. I guess, I don’t really know what it would do otherwise. I think Rust requires you to have the complete library source code for everything you’re using regardless.

I suppose it could act like NPM, and keep a separate copy of every library for every single project on my system, but that’s even less efficient. Yes, I think NPM only downloads the “built” files (if the package uses a build system & is properly configured), but it’s still just minified JS source code most of the time.

I asked a Japanese friend of mine what the significance of October 1st was with regards to this video; she said that there is nothing special about that date.

Nah bro they just all cheap asf

me and my zero friends who use it

I honestly can’t say I’ve noticed much of a quality difference, so it doesn’t seem like a huge value add. I might just be oblivious though.

Currently trying out Kagi, still on the fence. Boy am I blowing through the trial searches though.

I agree with basically everything said in the article.

It’s also a bad article.

It’s twice as long as it could be while only saying half as much as it should. An unfalsifiable thesis with an amorphous CTA, and a self-righteous, self-fulfilling conclusion.

How about we get some thinkers on this issue instead of loquacious parrots who love the sound of their own virtue-signaling.

The average Lemmy user is too slovenly to appreciate this perspective, obviously.

Well, actually I would tend to agree that &[T] is preferable to AsRef in most cases; all of the smart pointers you mentioned can also easily be turned into plain references. I probably could have chosen a better example.

The most difficult part for me was the listening, but reading comprehension was also tough, mostly due to the time constraints. I’m not fabulous at skimming text, especially in a foreign language.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
