Writing C++ is easy.
Then there's Haskell that would remove (well, used to at some point) your source code file if you made any errors: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/163

Fuck nvidia.
The context seems to be missing.
Not an nvidia dev, but so far all my cards been nvidia, went over a quite a few of them, both laptop and desktops. In my experience they just work once you install proprietary drivers and the only type of a problem is when ubuntu silently decides to upgrade it behind your back - in this case you need to restart the machine so kernel modules match the drivers.

Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

What is going on with serde?
Reply in thread
It seems it was done to marginally improve serde_derive build times? And just on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu?
Indeed. If you use nix instead of compiling in 8 seconds it fails to compile almost instantly.

epage (clap.rs and many more) has requested the removal of all his packages from lib.rs over misinformation
While I share the sentiments about cryptocurrency being a solution that is in search for a problem - libs should not editorialize the contents while still claiming to be "more complete and accurate crate information than crates.io"
Today the came for cryptocurrency, if we don't speak up - tomorrow they will come for monads and other category theory goodies.

It's strange that they suggest Ubuntu rather than https://uwuntuos.site/

What is your favorite terminal emulator.
urxvt. It works good enough and doesn't use much memory.

What's your favorite Linux Desktop software?
xmonad - tiling wm because I'm too lazy to place windows by handsfirefox - since a lot of things I'm working with is web based and I like my adblock and don't want google spying on meurxvt - a terminal that is fast enough for most applications yet doesn't use as much memory as fancier onestmux - a terminal multiplexer - terminal tabs are not as nice plus lets you leave stuff running remotelyneovim - I need a text editor and it works great for that purposes covering all my needsComment on

Serde is incredible though
Sure. Fork of it can be incredible too. In fact the only difference can be traditional approach to building the derive macro. All it takes is for people to switch.

Is this a new project that was intentionally started in PHP or something legacy? Any interesting benchmarks? Like minimal wire to wire network processing time and where the bottleneck is?

Why do you use firefox?
Been using it since forever, no reasons to switch. It works. Got a bit upset at them when they killed xul/pentadactyl though.

Favorite Terminal Emulator
Urxvt, slight colorscheme changes to make background dark gray and foreground - light gray. alacritty might be "blazingly fast" but in my experience if terminal is slowing you down - you are doing something wrong. On the other hand urxvt uses 20 times less memory.
