@saku is there both PDF and paper version options like with Skrolli. Most likely will order for the sake of supporting grass roots hacker culture in Finland!

@grrlscientist Doing stuff in space is crucial for civilization. It has provided us eg microprocessors and microwave ovens 🙂 It is the thing that drives innovation other than war industry.

@grrlscientist I think one thing that we should invest more money in space is asteroid mining. https://www.wired.com/story/things-are-looking-up-for-asteroid-mining/

@bipartisan Also sucking Putin's cock is not at least my definition of "greatest nation in the world" TBH but let's not get into that...

@bipartisan Yeah, I don't think that US troops are *actually* ever going to make Greenland invasion but it still pretty rude and stupid to even say shit like that.

If United States claim it is greatest nation in the world then it should also act accordingly IMHO ;-) Not bullying small countries...

@bipartisan Yeah, I mean obviously the Greenland talk was garbage but I can only imagine what kind of tensions this type of bullshit can cause e.g. in Asian cultures. We don't *actually* care a fuck in Nordic countries;-)

Russia has been at least a minor threat to Scandinavia for past 100 years but now it seems to be have to be proactively worried of US stealing our lands 🤷 Greenland is part of Denmark but obviously we're on the same boat for all territories that any country in Scandinavia and Baltic area owns.

Through some random recruitment offers I've noticed a new trend: startup websites with AI generated graphics.

If I wanted to make sure that my next startup gets neither talent nor funding that would be also the angle in branding that I'd take!

@namenlos Yeah also some comments seem to have misconception that I would somehow think that cargo is bad :-) I'll clear that one up: I think cargo is great.

Especially for complex software Cargo.lock and high-granularity version control for dependencies is an asset that keeps software safe and stable.

@namenlos Also at least once a month I end up in my professional life to a situation (could be related also e.g. C code) where I need to somehow verify whether a bug is:

1. A bug in software.
2. A toolchain bug.

In those situations a bag of tricks to cut out most of the toolchain is really an asset. 99,99% toolchain is not the stimulus but it is nice to be able exclude that because I've also bumped in to that 0,01% in the past ;-)

@namenlos Honestly, I think you got this wrong. Usually books about internals are popular. In order to understand in depth what e.g. cargo does, you need to be able to imitate its behavior without cargo. Also it helps to debug e.g. bugs in cargo.

@namenlos I have some real world situations mainly with custom JSON targets where without cargo does make sense or at least debugging binary output is easier with less layers. Like when I need to look at DWARF output that a compiler target generates. Obviously I use cargo when I possibly can because it obviously makes sense then ;-) To do Rust with cargo the existing books really have zero value or insight that I would find useful compared to the already pretty great documentation. For low-level hacking a book would be useful.

@kpcyrd OK, I don't really comprehend you but I'll ignore this one, have a nice day :-)
