Ah, matter of preference I suppose. At least there are a lot of settings to disable that stuff.

Neural network-based full line completion? I feel like the Rust model isn’t as developed as those for other languages. It’s helpful in Rider for C#.

It’s really interesting that Proton feels like a step forward in cross-platform gaming, but it also made it more economical to focus on Windows builds and dependencies.

Steam has a lot of power in the market and a vested interest in making things easier for developers and publishers. I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked up (more of) the slack in keeping systems backwards compatible.

Same as Microsoft, sort of. They can’t afford to have Apple’s “courage” in dropping x86 and then amd64.

Steam, as mentioned, and an old iMac that I’ve been meaning to dual-boot for a while.

This kind of thing is mostly inevitable, but has an impact on software and game preservation.

The i686-pc-windows-gnu target has been demoted to Tier 2, as mentioned in an earlier post.

Fedora is discussing dropping support entirely, right? Interesting times we live in…

Like if the variable is then used in a function that only takes one type? Huh.

And bow to the compiler’s whims? I think not!

This shouldn’t compile, because .into needs the type from the left side and let needs the type from the right side.

I came here to laugh, not to cry!

Welp, I guess we’re closed for the week.

I’d say I feel seen, but it’s really dark in here.

let a = String::from(“Hello, world!”).into()

I’ll see myself out.

Good article, thanks for the link! In the context of this conversation, I can agree that being exposed to different ways of solving problems will make you better and faster at doing just that.
