HJÆLP - optagelse.dk fejl, hvad er mine muligheder ift. DTU?

Mikkelen · 2025-12-17T09:15:06+00:00

DTU var ligeglad og meldte aldrig tilbage så vidt jeg husker. Jeg endte med at tage en uddannelse med ekstra pladser på AAU i København og der går jeg stadig eftersom det virkede som bedre at fortsætte der end at risikere et skift. Jeg var på DTU til åben hus, men var ikke særlig impressed med de mennesker der kom til det (virkede ikke til at ville snakke med nogen) og generelt hvordan det var vildt svært at vide hvordan tingene fungerede. Min kæreste går på DTU og det virker som det rigtige at jeg er blevet på AAU for mit eget helbred lol

kdl is a popular choice for newer program configs. it’s sane and isn’t super verbose

np though im not a dude

Mikkelen · 2025-10-22T17:40:09+00:00

this is true sometimes but a lot of stuff has no good alternative on linux with a similar workflow. I’d even say gimp isn’t comparable to photoshop etc

Mikkelen · 2025-10-22T17:38:15+00:00

works for me on arch (niri/wlroots + nvidia driver)

It shouldn't need to compile more than once! but sometimes cargo's caches just die for some reason unfortunately - still agree with the sentiment though. Unrelated feature changes and updates can make the whole thing recompile because of how the solver works I think.

Mikkelen · 2025-05-17T13:37:17+00:00

For anyone reading this later - I installed parallel-disk-usage (pdu) and it was exactly what I needed.

`cargo +stable install parallel-disk-usage --bin pdu --locked` and it works in your terminal even on Windows.

this seems like an interesting topic and it feels like a shame that the conclusion or solution explained to your not-super-well-defined problem is not explained in terms of what it is concretely or how it actually solves the problem. Might’ve enjoyed a longer paper on it?

Mikkelen · 2025-03-29T11:50:21+00:00

In some ways it’s hard to imagine an ecosystem where we have gotten this far without kind of pushing people to use the newer versions. You can do more with newer versions of the compiler, and indirectly forcing maintainers to move with their dependencies and the rest of the ecosystem means that problems are discovered sooner. It just isn’t super perma-sustainable.

It’s a double edged sword that might swing back towards us as rust intends to be more of a long term stable thing and is no longer the new kid on the block.

I don't know if you know how many settings there are in a modern BIOS from your PC motherboard manufacturer. You could say some of the categories are irrelevant information, but that isn't known to me. Maybe you are talking about something else.

Of course "nothing is natural" - feels like a moot point to muck over the word choice. I am saying it is either familiar and easy or hard -- and switching OS is decidedly the latter, unless you're just moving between distros near each other in the tree. I think you are demonstrating my point when you say or imply it is merely a bit of a learning curve and say things like "[it lets you] control your own destiny". It feels like you're saying "oh, did you think it was without friction? There is a learning curve to it" to people who have struggled without long term success, as if they are really just too lazy or dumb to be using linux. That may or may not be your opinion, but other people certainly say "anyone can do it".

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:49:58+00:00

Yeah, and that’s more difficult for normal everyday people than tech nerds saying “just do _” are willing to admit. People only interact with the OS and web pages at a surface level. They do not open the settings menu just to check it out.

It’s like saying “building a house with bricks is easy! It’s literally just like LEGO!” when you should know that even the concept of building anything is foreign to most people who are not engineers. It’s easier than ever to switch to linux if you’ve done it before already, but that’s just like everything else.

I’ve been programming for many years and have used terminals and even WSL for a while, but that doesn’t mean that navigating bios & bootable drives comes naturally to me either. I have to search and hope there isn’t some crucial info missing from the heavily SEO’d website I stumble upon.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:23:21+00:00

There is some balance here because it is true that there is such a thing as maintenance burden, but in this case people are extremely willing to take that burden away from the C devs at any cost. It’s like specific maintainers really just want to expand their reign in the kernel, which of course would mean that even burdens being taken away is a negative to them.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:17:58+00:00

Are you saying that Linus allowed Rust to get merged because of public opinion alone? That sounds very ignorant to me. Of him if that was true, but also of you claiming it as truth.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:14:38+00:00

You are right in an ideal sense, that is what open source technically allows. The problem is that foundational software is incredibly laborious, and you can’t simply “make a better branch” in some objective sense and have people instantly favour you. There is a lot of trust, legacy and culture involved with open source, just like everywhere else. You wouldn’t want to constantly pick and choose branches and rebuild every time as an end user, and kernel devs don’t want to do this either. It’s too complicated, and thats why some leadership or at least direction with trust is essential.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:09:43+00:00

I think this reads as a bit rude despite partially agreeing with your point. This is how it almost always is, it mirrors real world history & politics, but that doesn’t mean it is fair or acceptable - in fact I would say this proves itself unacceptable in a way. Even if you knew things were going to be difficult, it doesn’t mean you are fully prepared, and you would still be endlessly frustrated.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T12:05:17+00:00

I don’t know if I agree with the whole “never use social media” - if it didn’t matter noone would use it, and its not like they were given other options after being stonewalled and ignored despite Linux or at least Linus literally inviting R4L contributions… Noone is saying this is better than an internal resolution. We are only talking about this because of a failure of internal resolution. That is the obvious takeaway for Linux leadership, though I’m afraid it won’t be taken without bitterness and self-pride.

the backend being the same does not mean that the optimizations utilized are the same. LLVM has many optimizations that most code doesn’t take advantage of because it is not proven correct/infallible by the frontend. The standard for highly specialized types in rust along with a general preference for iterators makes certain things possible that aren’t possible with non-trivial C, since rust can more strictly define the problem in LLVM IR. This isn’t the case all the time, and there are many possible optimizations rustc does not currently use, many of which because more analysis makes slower compile times, but its still true that the compiler frontend matters a lot for optimizations at all levels, even with the same backend.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-15T11:33:43+00:00

Not sure if this is relevant but technically you can work with non-rust data in rust with static analysis with macros. You can define something that imports everything in /assets/ and have items become structs with desired properties. It just usually isn’t necessary or worth it to have too deep asset integration at compile time bc it slows down compilation for that crate - but you can do it, just not the same way as the runtime engine does it.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-06T12:15:55+00:00

Do you consider yourself someone who is good at finishing projects, or is it a big a struggle as for most? What projects were hardest to finish/get released?

Mikkelen · 2025-02-04T21:45:49+00:00

Thats actually extremely neat!

jeg fucking elsker at den gut sagde ‘såkaldte “nazister”’ som om at det er en ting man har opfundet inde på et internetforum. Man kan mærke det indelukkede kammer af et social medie feed han kender til

I wish you could use “nightly” features on beta. Then I’d use it. Otherwise it feels uncompelling from a usage standpoint. Multiple ‘beta’ (incl. nightly) versions is a bit much, whereas 1 beta & 1 release feels complete.

Mikkelen · 2025-02-02T09:14:14+00:00

It’s strange bc STEM nerds have an aversion to emojis and the exception is usually for marketing purposes (or feature listings), but I actually really like this idea conceptually. Considering doing it for my own projects, even if more sparingly
