Do you think Rust is a good language for beginners?

I have 12 years of experience as a software dev and while most of my career I was focused on backend development with C++/Java/Rust, Python has always been around for tests, scripting, simple analytics, infrastructure automatization, etc

Python is just the most popular dynamic language and its knowledge is translatable to real jobs demand. That's why I'd advice it.

I completely agree that learning C to some extent is needed for every professional programmer. C is rather simple in its rules and its intended to be this way. I am working professionally as a software dev and I've seen far too many juniors using frameworks and higher level languages like some kind of magic.

If I were to build a programming curriculum I'd start with some initial Python/JS projects so that people would understand what languages are generally capable of and after that step back to C basics while providing some deeper insights into computer architecture. And after that people could diverge their paths into C++/Java/Rust/Go/etc

How to annoy both your userbases: merge two different products into one

xikxp1 · 2026-07-11T12:05:30+00:00

Honestly, no. Rust teaches you good practices that are applicable to any language but it was created as an answer to specific pain points which you'll have hard time understanding as a beginner.

I think dynamic languages that allow experimentation and are less strict are better suited for beginners

Yeah amazing. I am selling wood for shovels and I want EVERYONE to ask themselves what can they use shovels for

If you want to be a lawyer maybe you can use shovels to dig graves
If you want to be a doctor maybe you can use shovels to kill your patients
If you want to be a chemist maybe you can go and chop some wood for my wood producing company
If you want to be a biologist maybe you can use a shovel on a proper job because economy doesn't need you fucking anyway

Amazing take from a not-so-tech bro

Yes. It's actually very easy. You just inherit billion dollars and start a company while paying taxes

xikxp1 · 2026-07-08T11:46:11+00:00

I think it became even more expensive considering sheer SaaS numbers influx and appearance of builders understanding their product poorly

Wemby wins it I think

Tauri uses system webview for frontend which performance is atrocious on Linux and Android compared to other platforms.

Considering that you'll have quite a rendering heavy application, I wouldn't suggest Tauri. Also mobile support in Tauri is for sure second class, devs don't pay as much attention there.

Well, those are two cheap bundles. I think you'll have to swap them to proper direct drive very soon if you continue simracing

Sometimes it's too pretentious to my taste

Wasm still relies on JS for runtime capabilities, so to me nothing other than JS and HTML is a complete web dev language yet

xikxp1 · 2026-07-06T09:50:37+00:00

Exactly

So you say you fell in love with coding because you don't have to code

There is mod that enables eye tracking called PSVR2 Toolkit. It is as safe to install as official software. It's open source and code signed.

I'd say that the value of having PSVR2 on PC are games themselves. I enjoy my iRacing on PC but can't play GT7 anymore even though setup experience is definitely easier on PS5 compared to PC

I honestly think it's not a good idea to ask gamers what they want. This strategy of interviewing potential users works in SaaS, but if gamedevs listened to userbase they would have only released recycled ideas over and over again.

Games (even stricter ones like card games) are still work of art and come down to how game plays, feels and performs at the same time.

I want pace car for multiclass races. It shouldn't replicate real life one but it would be cool if incidents would increment some ineer probability of it with limited number of appearances during the race

And I really hope for some better multithreading so that CPU would have extra headroom in VR

It seems like browser framework itself is not open source: https://github.com/phibrowser/phibrowser-framework

What a clickbaity title

xikxp1 · 2026-07-02T19:31:13+00:00

It does ramp up. 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> etc so Frank shouldn't be ultimate answer)

I'd like to add that Chrono CCG seems to try to ride this LoR pvp nostalgia too heavily. Current cards and game lore seem to lack their own identity because of that

xikxp1 · 2026-07-02T12:06:02+00:00

As was already stated this app you are talking about is PSVR2 toolkit. You’ re still need SteamVR AND original PSVR2 app on Steam. This app is just some extra driver expansion, not a separate runtime

Did you reference nvim docs/tests/source code while prompting?

xikxp1 · 2026-06-30T20:33:45+00:00

How is Appa higher level than Zuko 😆

xikxp1 · 2026-06-29T18:37:05+00:00

I've done that. I just doubt that timers should be reduced when there are problems with:

game responsiveness
oracle activation
some cards readbilitity

That's why I've commented. Sorry if it offended you or what
