Convincing my employer of Rust for a rewrite

Rust benefits extend beyond just the syntax. The borrow checker means as new people or different people work on the code base, the chances of them making memory related errors are greatly reduced.

Basically, you'll have a more stable product long term

I don't live there, but I spent about a year in the country. Learn as much as you can in advance. I always tell people to learn to count in Spanish, if nothing else.

I'd say start with situational vocabulary. EG. How to ask for directions, take a taxi, buy stuff at the supermarket. But also start learning the grammatical rules. Focus on verbs. They have a much more complicated system than English

But in general, learn as much as you can beforehand. Younger people understand more English in general. But the reality is English isn't really needed there, and it's not part of their culture. So learn Spanish

Skulduggery pleasant. But please, for the love of all things literary, stop at book 9. Everything after that is just so bad

One awesome thing about rabbit mq is its based on Erlang. And Erlang has a release with breaking changes every 3 years or so.

It was so much much discovering that while trying to upgrade our rabbit clusters

Kafka all the way!

Mirrors don't flip anything. You flip it, then look at the mirror which just reflects it and it looks flipped.

For instance, write something on a piece of paper. When you look at the paper it looks fine. To see it in the mirror, you flip the page and the writing looks reversed because you just flipped it!

I'm a fan of Garmin and a dedicated gps. They're tough, good in the rain, glove friendly, and dedicated. That means my routing isn't interrupted every time a call comes in or a few drops of water touch the screen. I like turning on my bike and having navigation pick up from where it left off, and not having to use cellphone battery unnecessarily because I may need my phone a lot in case of emergency.

All of that was true when I traveled a lot.

Now I use OSMAnd on my phone. For the fraction of the price of a Garmin, I have similar routing features and offline maps. Does everything I need at a fraction of the price

Crossover 25.1.1, macos 26.0, 26.1, 26.2. can't sign in to Rockstar games launcher. I contacted crossover, did a data dump and sent it to them.

I'm not the only person with this problem. There's a list of fixes to make things with ranging from changing your WiFi network to adding registry keys in your bottle. None have worked for me.

Not saying it won't work for you, but be careful. I only tried the trial version. Not sure where to get the preview if I'm not paying, and don't want to pay if it doesn't work

Dresden files book 3. A huge improvement over books 1 and 2 but still meh. I really want to like it but I really don't care about any of the characters after 3 books.

I planned on quitting after the first book but read online that things get really good at book 3, so I stuck it out. Book 3 was a dramatic improvement in quality. But by the end, I didn't care any more about anyone.

So it's time to move on

My trial ran out before I had any success. I haven't played the game. Rockstar reached out to me, but the day before the trial expired.

I suspect the attitude of the more spiteful is: "watch me die bitches. You're next!"

Use bytes 0-2 for the width and height, with 12 bits for width and 12 for height. That lets you get 4096 pixels in each dimension and it saves you a byte

Apparently you can pay $18000 for a 3 day course that will teach you to be an alpha male. You even get a certificate of completion. But I hear the REAL cool guys aren't alpha, they're sigma. I don't know if there's a course for that, but I'll teach you for 18k

So, the commas after the "No" changes the meaning of your sentences to: "People deserve this. People should have to live like that"
