I got the lowest of the low MacBooks on a black friday deal years ago for my wife that only had 8GB, thinking the same way. "It'll be fine for her needs." It was more than fine. It was good. Got myself one a month later. I don't know why but RAM is different on macOS.

I think it's deeply disadvantageous and legally dubious to accept code for which you don't know its provenance.

I can support your assertion here with experience. This is as earnest as it gets.

You can in theory turn off gc but in practice no one does this because nearly everything is written with the assumption that allocations will be cleaned up by the gc. The compiler has no switches to help you run in a non-gc’d state. At best you can control when you run the gc.

Some of the best technical documentation I’ve ever written has straight up lies in it. Granted they were placed there in the service of distilling the most germane portions of the API I was trying to explain. But it made a huge difference once I decided my code in the library didn’t have to be my code in its documentation. I felt a little like a biographical writer who makes a composite character. But honestly I recommend trying it. Lie in your docs if it serves the greater goal of communicating what’s most important. Let the computer labor in the “truth” and its tediums.

All you really need is one alias.

alias homegit="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git"

If only your wish and your lack of care were some how related, perhaps in a problem, solution kind of format.

MHRD is also great in this genre. I’ve played it multiple times. I’m happy to hear there are more like it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/

I think the test is for this is whether the project is willing to break with the past to _keep_ the api simple, clean, and fast. You're right that is easier for new projects who have no backward compatibility to speak of. From what I've seen bevy has a strong culture of demanding good ergonomics for the users and reducing the api surface, and maybe it's thanks to rust's packaging, but they're very willing to break with the past to get it, which I appreciate.

The nice thing too is with cargo, should you ever commit to bevy, they can break the future, and you don't have to chase a moving target. You can just stick to your version. But they also provide guides to make moving up to the latest and greatest easy. Or at least that's been my experience as a bevy dabbler.

It's a prescient statement with regard to the cold war.

I’ve changed how I use Twitter. It’s now in readonly or reactive mode for me. I may comment and retweet but all new content is now being posted to mastodon. While this seemed hard to want to do at first, mastodon actually has a ton of quality of life improvements like edit your post to fix your typos. I swear I feel like I was in a Stockholm Syndrome with Twitter just accepting that you can’t edit your tweets. Why was that ever acceptable? You can’t add alt text to an image you already uploaded. You must choose to delete a tweet that is maybe gaining traction or live with your typing mistakes. Ugh. Honestly it feels like getting out of a bad relationship. Happy to invest in communities that are outside of Elon’s control.
