The Rust Compiler is the most helpful one I have experienced so far submitted by cows_are_underrated to rust 63 points | 22 comments I recently started learning rust, and I was ready for one hell of a fight. I heard all those horror Storys about the compiler complaining about every single detail and that developing rust means having a constant fight with the compiler about seemingly irrelevant things. However, so far I have to tell, that while its somewhat true, that the compiler is somewhat picky, it is incredibly helpful. Never before have I seen such good and helpful compiler messages. It not only says what you did wrong, but also gives direct help on what to do to fix your code. I also really like, that it gives you direct references to the rust book in the compiler messages. Prior to starting my journey with rust I did quite a lot of python, some C and some bash and their interpreter/compiler messages are nothing when comparing them with rust. Especially the bash error messages are awful if you do not know what they mean and how to fix them.

Ageless Linux Launches to Challenge Age Verification Rules for Operating Systems submitted by cm0002 to linux 140 points | 7 comments https://linuxiac.com/ageless-linux-launches-to-challenge-age-verification-rules/ > Ageless Linux is a new project with an unconventional goal even by open-source standards. Instead of offering technical innovations, it serves as a platform for protest against emerging age-verification regulations that may affect operating systems and software distribution. > > Right off the bat, one thing needs to be clear: Ageless Linux, based on Debian, is not a traditional distribution. It is just a minor modification applied to an existing Debian installation. > > Users install Debian, then run a script from the project that rebrands the system as Ageless Linux and applies a few changes reflecting the project’s legal position. That’s it.

GitHub - xodn348/han: A compiled programming language with Korean keywords, written in Rust submitted by jeena to programming 2 points | 1 comments https://github.com/xodn348/han A compiled programming language with Korean keywuords, written in Rust - xodn348/han I remember our professor at university (Gothenburg, Sweden) was teaching us object oriented programming and her example code had variable names and method names in Swedish because Java could deal with utf8 already beck then in 2008. We were trying to convince one of the Arabic students to send in his stuff in Arabic, but he was too afraid.

Terminal Recommendations? I want Yakuake mixed with Tabby submitted by Skullgrid to linux 14 points | 9 comments So, I’m looking for a new terminal, there’s a few glitches with yakuake (not dropping down on main monitor anymore, sometimes when I paste in too much text it gets all buggy) and there’s some new features I want from it I found in tabby (basically, different themes in different tabs to help orient me faster and avoid issues) Tabby’s shortcut to dock and hide and reappear leads it to disappearing the window, not coming back, and continuing to run several processes. Also, it’s really heavy. (electron based?) I want something that’s light and usually disappears without remaining on my task manager (system tray is ok) , unrolls and disappears at a single keyboard shortcut, has multiple tabs, and I can choose whatever colour scheme I want per tab. Ideally, I will have a list of colour schemes , and each tab will choose the next colour scheme to move to. Also, generic terminal preference discussion, shoutout, etc thread. apps.kde.org/yakuake/ tabby.sh

Just wanted to show off my progress on my procedurally generated map game submitted by GandalftheBlack to godot 36 points | 4 comments https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/xuLXbUx9kutLP8Mp4Qc2DN The map is procedurally generated and is filled with settlements populated by groups with procedurally generated languages, cultures and religions. This is still early days but I’m pretty happy with how things are going. The language generation still needs a bit of work (as does everything!), hence the weird city names

[Beginner, C] If we can represent true/false with 1/0, why do we need the stdbool library and boolean variables? submitted by emotional_soup_88 to learn_programming 14 points | 17 comments I saw one example int x = 10; int y = 5; bool isGreater = x > y; printf("%d", isGreater); But I could write this int x = 10; int y = 5; printf("%d", x > y); I am a complete beginner and I have no real reason why I would or would not want to deal with boolean variables, but I want to understand their raison d’être. Edit: typo city

Age verification is the new digital ID submitted by cm0002 to privacy 66 points | 4 comments > Source: xcancel.com/vxunderground/…/2032600868005310638#m > > Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the >internet and created infinite spam. > > The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks. > > Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying “we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!”. > > The social media networks know this doesn’t really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally). > > 1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons > > 2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they’re not advertising to children because it’s been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults > > 3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do. > > > > It’s a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections. > > It fucks over everyone else. > > Chat, I’m not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.

Blocked in Europe, deployed abroad: The facial recognition system monitoring Brazil’s schoolchildren submitted by cm0002 to privacy 5 points | 1 comments https://www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/facial-recognition-software-ai-europe-brazil-school-children > The teacher opens an app on their phone, holds it up, and takes several photos of the room. Within seconds, the images travel to a cloud server, where a facial-recognition algorithm detects each student’s face, extracts it, and compares it against a database of biometric profiles. The app LRCO Paraná returns a list of names. Students identified in the photos are marked present; those the system does not find are marked absent. > > For some students, a false absence is a bureaucratic irritation. For others, it could threaten their family’s access to welfare. In Brazil, eligibility for the Bolsa Família program depends in part on school attendance, and in Paraná such records are now largely generated by an algorithm.

The Compose key is magic submitted by cm0002 to linux 13 points | 1 comments https://crescentro.se/posts/compose-key/ > I’ve been in a bit of a coding slump recently due to a constellation of work and personal Stuff™, and in situations like those I enjoy procrastinating by tweaking my desktop setup (do kids still call this ricing?). > > One of the small things that’s always annoyed me is that, if I want to input the glorious currency symbol of our great monetary union, I basically need to search for “eur symbol” somewhere and copy-paste it. On a Mac with the Dutch layout, the € symbol can be produced by hitting Option + 2, but on my Linux desktop with the nl(mac) layout1, the closest thing is Right Command + 2 (interpreted by the system as AltGr+2), which gives me a nice ². > > In skimming through various docs, forum posts and wiki pages, I ran into an xkb option to change the behaviour for the € symbol specifically, but I also ran into something far more interesting: the Compose key. It turns out that there’s a special key you can use to write custom symbols as a sequence of normal keystrokes.
