It's the 4-minute mile except it's taking everyone else too long to copy it. Really shows how far ahead Musk is.

Insurance prices is the only way to compare. Which are 1/3 for FSD. Everything else is clickbait noise. Musk really did achieve what he said he would. Bravo!

The only right approach these days is a vps with a zfs partition with auto-snapshots, compression, and deduplication on and a syncthing instance running. Everything else is bound to lose money, and/or data (a comment mentions they lost a file and got 3 whole months FREE)

I like pijul's mental model much more but it's a single developer who's slightly prone to getting sidetracked.

Very happy with qmetaobject-rs. Qt is tried and tested, dnd multi platform. Also, UI itself is best done declaratively not imperatively. Qmetaobject-rs gives you the best of both worlds: great UI declaratively, logic in Rust.

Great post! I propose all programs have a `--version` flag. Anything similar for Rust + Cargo right now?
