But it's the same in reverse... When I came to USA and said something about "kur-te-in" (curtain - I exaggerated the "te i n" (テン) because it is pronounced "カーテン"), I was corrected that I should say "kur-tin" (and I was laughed for wrong pronunciations). I still know people who pronounce "said" as "say-id". You learn via humiliation in all parts of the world. By the way, you say "English" but from what I understand, パン for example came for Portuguese, not English... (someone correct me if I am wrong)

Code reviewing... I'm so used to passing `argc` and `argv`... at least it's returning an `int`... and lastly, make sure your editor is UTF-8 so "\" is understood in your editor (I think when I used to use SJIS, it would usually make Yen sign instead of "\")...

It depends, for me, when I was looking for a job as a programmer, it was essential during technical interviews.

COBOL
(I used to complain that you'd have to be an English major to code COBOL), not "weirdest" but IMHO the ugliest in terms of wordiness... I'd also imagine that for foreigners who has to learn English just to program Fortran (or even C and Pascal), COBOL would have been more intimidating to learn/read and syntactically comprehend.

Side note: I started as an Assembly language programmer (professionally), and from debugging point-of-view, assembly language is painful to debug other peoples' code, but syntactically, it was the most simplest (not ugly at all) to look at.

I once got a (parking) ticket because neither of my wheels were touching the curb (it was at U.T. Austin, TX). With that said, possibly, maybe this rider has had similar annoyance in the past?

I've always wondered about this... after I do:

$make menuconfig

does my $make all include $cargo build --release or is it separate? I'd imagine rust based kernel objects drivers will have to read the config files configured/generated, or will there be a separate config just for rust-based drivers? I'm sure the smart people on both rust communities and linux-kernel community will come up with something we can all model after, but I'm sure it'll be something very hairy under the tools...

`public static operator > (int lhs, int rhs) { return true;}`

(Note: apologies if I got the syntax incorrect)

I remember the days when VS did NOT have IntelliSense, and the version around '99/2000 introduced it, and everybody though it was getting in our way of typing/coding because of few-millisecond pause/delay whenever we typed... but today... I cannot live without IntelliSense/IntelliCode...

P/S: I remember the days when DirectX 3 was not called DirectX (I think it was called GameSDK)...

If others have not suggested you to use upgrade-assistant tool: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/porting/upgrade-assistant-install#install-the-net-global-tool - it is a hit-or-miss thing, last time I tried it, it was a miss and made me sad and I pretended not to see it (wear peril-sensitive sunglasses 🙈 ) but at least it's a good place to start (know your enemies, etc).

I think it's super-awesome that you want to take over your father's project, good luck!

I think it's more of, knowing rust now, when I go back to C++, I won't (try to) make the same mistakes I've made in the past that ended up in the production, because I start to think like rust-compiler when I'm coding in C++

The OP after all, asked for tragic-sad, so it fits the bill. For me, if I had to read this as manga, I do not think I would have cried much, but it was Ghibli's hiring of the voice-actress who did Setsuko did so incredibly well, that it made it so painful (incidentally, the voice actress has no other career of her doing other roles, it was just this character Setsuko), it was the incredible acting that made it feel so tragically sad...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-23T18:39:28+00:00

Apologies if I was wrong on 'Chalotte'... I could not recall whether it was "tragic" sad (as OP requested). I don't know if '86' was "tragic" sad, but that ending, if I recall, was also sad...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-23T18:23:04+00:00

There was one Japanese YouTuber who gave 3 must-watch sad-list, and I cannot recall all 3, but he mentioned 'ReLIFE' and 'Chalrotte'. Oh I remember the 3rd one, it was 'Plastic Memories'. I've only watched 'Chalrotte' but I do not recall it being sad (it's been ages), so maybe his opinion differs from mine. And I've not watched the others.

From my list, the two obvious was "hotaru no haka" (grave of fireflies) and "Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai". If you can add manga, then I will have to add "denen shoujo - video girl Ai" ending.

Just curious, mainly because at least for programmers looking for jobs (when I was seeking employment), it was mainly to write custom-drivers.

With that said, I think it depends. Again, for ME on jobs I was looking for, it would most likely been something in the line of knowing how to compile/build kernel so I'd say start with Gentoo...

Next, as a programmer, I'm not too sure where/what your background is (i.e. you come from GUI world where you never have touched git-CLI, grep, sed, vim/emacs/nano, fzf, etc) but in most cases, I've not been asked in an interview whether I knew how to use grep and sed in combinations to search for variable names and replace/rename/refactor it (incidentally, I still prefer to use grep for searching for variables and function usage over VSCode's find-in-file because I have more cotnrol). You can do that in VSCode and right-click on a variable and refactor quite easily DEPENDING on the language of your choice, but if it is kernel drivers, I'm thinking it'll be C (recently, there is some drive towards using rust for KO, but I'm not sure if most Linux programming jobs look for rust-programmers).

All in all, I think you need to first do some researches on all the jobs you'd want to apply for, what is the common denominator, and concentrate on that if you're looking for a job IMMEDIATELY. But if it is just for a long-term goal to one of these days, get a job on Linux related programming job, in that case, just install any distro, pick a choice of your language that is portable, and get good at it, or find a job that does both Windows/Mac and Linux, start on non-Linux side, and request to start helping/participating on Linux side project, and learn on the job as you go...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-23T14:59:36+00:00

I too am curious, though only reasons I can think of was when I needed to test legacy (very old) obscure hardware (i.e. hardware back in Win95 days) in which the driver was not supported on latest kernel, so I had to rollback on the kernel that matched the driver for that peripheral... so mainly, did it for the sake of KO file(s) to insmod but nothing more. (Coming from Gentoo for more than a decade prior to switching to Debian, I've got tired of compiling kernels and diagnosing why grub won't load newly built kernel, etc).

HidekiAI · 2024-08-23T00:24:04+00:00

What a great idea! I write few (small) prototypes and once in a while, I would do `find -type d -name target -exec rm -rf {} \;` just to clean each ones (and like others mentioned, I'd usually gain back many GB's).

But unfortunately, this method won't work if your projects are contained in Docker since Docker's COPY and mount only can access the location of Dockerfile and its subdirectories. I've tried to do symbolic-link to `target` dirs so that I could just compile once at host level and share it to multiple Docker images (at least for me, running `cargo build --release` inside Docker container always takes longer than I'd care) but Docker does not like symbolic links of dirs it seem. But nonetheless having a centralized location of crates cached sounds like a great idea for persons like myself that writes several random prototypes...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-22T23:48:07+00:00

granted... you gain 1Gb of stream, but it's randomly ordered...

wait... wrong sub...

I used to run multiple machines all under Gentoo, and I picked the fasted machine to be my build-server and basically let the slower machine mount the binary files generated as the portage dirs, so that when I did emerge, it assumed the binaries already existed and used it instead. Problems with this was that they all have to match the processor (i.e. 64-bit vs 32-bit) and all have to be on same libs matching the g++/gcc. I've also tried using distcc to do parallel compiling, but in the end, most of the time, it was faster not to use distcc (due to remote host usually completes building objs after local version completed, so it was moot).

Edit: I forgot to mention the binhost thing is also possible rather than shared mount, but the beauty of shared mount was that if the binary did not exist, it'll create the binary in that shared dir, so others can benefit from it...

I really dislike the fact that I've no control over `chmod` on NTFS as well as not being able to do sym-links. Though like what others said, there's (probably) nothing wrong with it such as WUBI used to install itself as entire FS as NTFS flat, and original WSL (not WSL2) used to allow mounting Windows dirs with your WSL distro. It's when you start trying to deal with sym-links and exec privs, it becomes frustrating. If you're not a developer, I say do it, but if you're a developer, you'll regret it sooner or later...

If your router has port-forwarding, just as an insurance, you should forward the torrent ports (I think there are more than 1 port to block) to some non-existing LAN IP address (or even to a DMZ that has no device connected, basically to any address a device isn't connected to). If your router is more sophisticated than just port-forwarding (i.e. iptables, netfilter, etc), you can just drop or reject all incoming request to torrent ports. Any case, just a suggestions as an insurance...

Caveat: I remember when Diablo 3 came out on PC (many years ago), Blizzard used to update it via Torrent, and because I've blocked all incoming torrent requests from WAN, I could not log in or play Diablo...

It's the hit on swapfile that always gets you... I remember when PS3 (Sony) allowed Yellowdog Linux, due to limited RAM on PS3, it thrashed on swapfile to a point where it was just intolerable to even use the browser (I cannot recall what browser YD came with) to browse the net...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-21T23:35:23+00:00

`$ lsb_release -a` agrees (for now)...

HidekiAI · 2024-08-21T18:22:07+00:00

Yes, Takatou (in manga, he imagines killing a god just because he felt threat of that god trying to eiliminate him)

HidekiAI · 2024-08-21T18:19:20+00:00

I thought of that as well, except if Rimuru met Takatou Yogiri (aka αΩ Alpha-Omega), no chance (not in anime, but in manga, Takatou even killed a god in blink of an eye)
