  • Cudos for you to start learning something new. But I have a small opinion.

    I wouldn’t recommend rust to be the first systems language to learn. I would recommend you learn C, spend 3 months with it, ie write 3-5 small projects projects and one big project and then switch to rust.

    My rationale is, since you haven’t had to deal with memory management before (I am assuming you have worked with scripting languages like javascript, python, lua, etc.) some things you need to do in rust might seem weird or might make no sense. Hence my recommendation on learning C.

    When you get a bunch of segfaults, bust out the debugger, pull your head out trying to find an invalid pointer or a memory leak, then you will find rust like a breath of fresh air. In fact C is by far wayyyyyyy easier a language than rust and it will get your mindset right about memory ownership.

    But I may be wrong, you do what you want to do. Best of luck in both cases either way.


  • I started with rust 2 years back. It has been amazing since. Just build stuff you want to use, even recreate simple apps that you use everyday and have a rough idea on how they work. Getting used to the borrow checker takes time so don’t do something massive. Also if you haven’t finished the rust book and rustlings, I highly recommend them. They are amazing materials.

    You can check out my github for ideas. I have till now as far as I can remember built a notification daemon, an automatic music player, a time management app, a video server, video library manager, a C/C++ build system and lots of other stuff. Reading other people’s code will make you get best practices.

    PS Don’t learn from my builder_cpp project. The code is utter garbage, but it was how I used to do stuff in the early days



  • The iron quantity in blood is actually very low. And when the thing is made up entirely out of iron, then also the benders can be as free with them as they are with earth

    Here’s my alternate suggestion BONE BENDING. Bones are just huge chunks of mineral so must be free game.



  • I had tried opensuse tumbleweed and absolutely loved the way it did things, my perfect balance between fedora and arch, but there were Teo problems that I couldn’t get over.

    1. Zypper is slow.
    2. I couldn’t get it to do parallel downloads packages.

    But it’s a great distro nonetheless.

    Also it has a similar problem with fedora that arch doesn’t. VIDEO CODECS. I don’t understand how the USA messes with my ability to play a video and I am seriously annoyed by it.







  • Very sadly, this fucker may live well past 100. I cannot come close to describing to you how much extra awesome health care this rich fucks can get if they want. Want to know every week if there is a slightest possible chance of cancer? Get a weekly mri (doesn’t even have radiation completely risk free). Want a customized dose of ketamine so that you don’t od but get the best high? You got it. Want a leacher to grab all the by products of ketamine metabolism? Here’s the pill.

    Have you played Cyberpunk where the arasaka crapbag lives forever? We are actually paper thin distance away from it.






  • Sekiro is one of my all time favorite games and I find it to be quite fun. I think you are struggling because you consider yourself to be a souls borne veteran and approaching the game with that mentality. The primal urge to roll away is the biggest holdup in my opinion. Get in there and parry any attacks you can except the danger ones. Also, get mikiri counter ASAP.

    After you have beaten Geni, you will get some sort of hangof the general timings of the game, but true understanding can only be attained after beating sword saint isshin.

    Just hang in there, my first playthrough was hard as hell, but now I am at new game 13, sometimes I go through 2 new game cycles in a single day.

    Pro tip, grab as much booze as you can and give them to as many people as you can for that juicy lore.
