In Time (2011). Time is currency in the dystopia in the film - paying for something decreases your lifespan, earning wages increases it.

The movie sets up a really cool class structure, wherein there are rich people born with/inheriting hundreds of thousands of years of life, and poor people barely managing to scrape enough hours to stay alive until they can earn more the next day. There are segmented areas of the city that cost years to get into.

Overall incredible premise, but the story wasn’t exceptional beyond a couple of the cool mechanics you might expect based on said premise.

Very cool image! It looks like there’s some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?

Oooof, good to know. I have a bit more of a low level C brain at root so I see the appeal of Go, but never had enough of a reason to get into C++. I’ve only really used C# and JS/JS frameworks professionally.

Rust is an absolute joy to work with. The strong typing, the hands-on memory management, the functional elements, the build system, the helpful compiler errors and warnings, the magical feeling that comes when your first successful compile since refactoring just works, the queer-friendly community… just the perfect language for the way my brain operates.

I’m lucky to be unemployed at the moment and have time to make my own projects with tools of my choosing. There are definitely some barriers to using it in most workplaces, but most of those come down to adoption inertia and the fact that the language is still “new” - new in the sense that it’s not mature enough to have a mature enough frontend framework that has a mature enough third party component library for easy plug and play. Filling out all the corners that older languages have is gonna take a while.

E.g. There isn’t even a standard set object, everyone just implements it as a map pointing to empty structs, and you get familiar with that and just accept it and learn to understand what it means when someone added an empty struct to a map.

Goooood fucking gravy.

I hate to be such an opinionated programmer, but everything I’ve read about Go only reinforces my negative opinion, especially since I read this now-famous article.

Assuming you’re monotheistic, I believe you can use an mpsc channel to send those asynchronously.

You’ve probably covered 90% of use cases there so you’re doing well!

I’m trying to port your code to Rust but the compiler keeps giving me an error about non-exhaustive match arms

The one, fool-proof solution to supply chain attacks? Write all your own dependencies.

I sometimes like to make simple, big, one-pot meals that just rely on increments of tablespoons for spices and cups for lentils/rice/etc.

Take a load for free 😎

This is a bit tangential, but a part of me is pleased that leftists and Marxists are adopting some of these basic chartalist monetary principles. When I dove into the MMT world for a brief period a few years ago, my basic takeaway was that their analysis of the state and money isn’t far off the mark, but they have a severely underdeveloped class consciousness. The end call to action - at least from the liberal voices within that ideological space - was always “well if we educate people about all this, then they can go harder, and we can finally have funding for healthcare and education”

Only because they sell bonds to make up the deficit. They don’t have to do that.

The Mission, though I haven’t seen the movie yet.

KDE Plasma on Arch on integrated Intel graphics here. I’ve been on it for a few years and I love it.

Ads in my notifications and my lock screen.

I find I have that issue in Windows 10. There’s not much consistency between applications in terms of which monitor or even desktop they’ll launch in when I open them.

Not really a hilarious assumption, but it was only this year that I actually learned anything more than the names of a few STIs. It’s good to familiarize yourself with the risk profiles and treatment options of the common ones, and get tested regularly if you’re sexually active.

I don’t tell people. They infer both almost immediately from my physical stature and vocabulary.
