The borrow checker makes things a bit more complicated to get running, definitely takes some getting used to when you come from a non-memory safe language. But the compiler is really helpful throughout almost all mistakes, often directly providing an explanation and a suggested fix. One of my favorites programming experiences so far

Dwarf planets sometimes have moons (e.g. Pluto)

I’d think a wheelbarrow or hand-drawn cart would still be useful, but I see your point

No, you need a Möbius ham slice and a non-moebius bread loop (albeit with a full twist)

But you better enjoy our voice actors, we have about 3!

It works in the browser

That’s highly pedantic, you need to draw the line somewhere. At 120 km you get long-ish sustainable orbits, at 80 km objects decay within a single orbit. The ISS sits at around 420 km, well above that

Btw, the airplane limit calculated by von Kármán was closer to 80 km, the 100 km limit is not based on his calculations.

2km/s Δv can get you a mun roundtrip at least, once you’re in orbit

Some programming languages are indeed cursed (e.g. JavaScript). But for the most part I agree, it’s what people do with it. But what’s cursed with python is what idioms have become common place.

that is so cursed

And I say that as someone who learnt python as her first language (to be proficient in):

holy shit is this language stupid

It’s funny if they are creative and actually engage with the power. But most just seem to be “you get cancer” type stuff, or just “your power only works in this one hyper specific and useless way”

There’s no such thing, so does the power just not work? Or does the least bad dictator die? If so, hell yeah!

Hell yeah, I’m down for that. Get yourself a partner you trust and become unstoppable

Or become an untraceable terrorist, now that I think about it

You still dream, though. At times, it becomes hard to distinguish between reality and your nightmares

Tree(3) is craaazyyy

Wa-hoo!

Transphobic metal can fuck right off

Just gonna drop Cattle Decapitation here, tho (CW gore, and a lot of other fucked up shit):

It’s about the certainty to have what you want, where you want it, reliably. I run NixOS with Impermanence, which means I reset my root partion on every boot, and have what state I need specifically opt-in. And I run a shared config over multiple devices (home PC and Laptop), so installing something on one also installs it on the other, next time I rebuild. It certainly takes time getting used to, but I’ve been really enjoying it so far
