Francis tried to be a decent person, but the organization he supports has an ungodly amount of money and outreach which aren't being put to good use. Christianity could do so much more to help, they just choose not to.

I wish I could delete that partition for good, but my computer grqphics professor forces me to write code for DirectX instead of Vulkan.

The economy should exist to serve real needs of the people. All that advertisement does is create a fake desire for consumption which simply wastes respurces.

The worst thing you can do in non-unsafe Rust is perform an out-of-bounds indexing operation, or anything else that panics. The error you get tells you the panic's exact location in the source code, down to the line and column. Meanwhile, C and C++ either don't produce an error at all when accessing uninitialized memory (which is arguably the worst behavior), or it segfaults with zero extra info.

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations, and those must always be clearly marked.

Except that many other languages have proven that C++ is simply terrible at providing meaningful errors.

I always try to avoid these, unless the application I'm installing has it's own package management functionality, like Rustup or Nix. Everything else should be handled by the system package manager.

I hope they can establish themselves somewhere, I wanna have a good laugh at their opinions every now and then.

 

The steam launcher is a mess, and Valve refuse to fix it. Seems like they don't want my money then. I have no trouble with running pirated singleplayer games through Lutris, so I'll just do that instead.
