I've also found that traversing a third-party codebase in Python is extremely frustrating and requires lots of manual work (with PyCharm) whereas with Rust, it's just 'Go to definition/implementation' every time from the IDE (RustRover). The strong typing is a huge plus when trying to understand code you didn't write (and I'm not talking LLM-generated).

When using multiple overlays, emerge-webrsync is ungodly slower compared to git.

My Gentoo system is fully systemd and Wayland based from the start. Might sound like heresy to some users, but it was my decision from the start as I liked how they worked, that they are the future, and that you don’t have to wrangle shell scripts for building an OS. I had used systemd a lot via many Ubuntu servers before, so that helps.

Fresh should mean creating a new prefix. For example, Proton-GE enabled wow64 in Wine by default, but it requires recreating the prefix to use it. Should be easy enough with Protontricks or even Winetricks.

You also get more captchas because you are on Linux, I see the Cloudflare one on my computer everytime.

One thing I don’t understand is the table at the end. It says Rust requires 30 lines of code for a type state pattern, and I’m sure that Rust will be more verbose than Lean here, but wouldn’t all the typing shown in the article count as lines for Lean? I don’t see how it’s 0.

Then, make them pay for an ad apology where they retract their previous one, and which runs for at least the same time.

It’s also tremendously durable, NAND doesn’t get close in write endurance.

Yeah but SRAM is stupidly fast. Even compared to DRAM. Going to a different chip, no matter if over a custom interconnect takes a "lifetime", specially since you don’t have L4 caching tricks, as you’re already at SRAM level.

Hmm, for most desktop stuff, you're still limited to random access, where even if leagues above HDD, the NVMe still suck compared to sequential. It's sad that intel killed Optane/3D X-point, because those are mych better at random workloads and they had still lower latencies than the latest NVMe (not by much anymore).

I didn't want to call it backend, because it's not that. Maybe desktop programmer? Anyway, if you're doing GUI in Rust or similar, you're at least handling memory and syscalls, which is closer to systems programming, I'd say.
