Doesn't rust feel a bit too heavy weight?
It feels like the language packs too much firepower, can there be downsides to that?
C long life seems to be, in part, because of its simplicity.
Quite honestly I don't know what people are doing to their laptops to say anything bad about the Dell XPS. Statistically, it seems the overwhelming majority agrees they're great though.
I've never even had to call customer support, I've been running PopOS on a specced out XPS15 for years which I installed myself, overriding the factory-installed Windows with no issues whatsoever (honestly just one minor firmware detail that was easily solved).
Also Brazilian, I remember each and every time I was able to upgrade my computer. So much bliss. Living in the US now things are so much easier that you lose appreciation for what you're talking about. Keep the hustle going but allow yourself to improve your setup the second you can. The computer is the sword of the modern worker. If you were a samurai would you be swinging around some decade-old weapon?
Fwiw, I have a nearly-maxed-out brand new mbpro m1 and can't stand OSx so it's collecting dust as my similar specs 1 year old XPS i9 with PopOS sees 12h of daily use.
Of course an m1's battery life is better. Everything else sucks in comparison imo but I admit this is very subjective.
Although I strongly agree with it in principle, I'm growing seriously tired of the "simpler is better" argument. It hides all the nuance, hard work and, guess what, complexity, that goes into making something simple.
Simplicity is different to each person. What seems like unnecessary abstractions with complex inner workings often exist to actually hide other complexity away.
Know the in and outs of Kubernetes? Maybe it's easier (simpler) for you than directly provisioning different pieces of infra.
Have a team of over 10 [1] working on the same monolithic codebase? Productivity while maintaining sane separation of concerns might increase going for a more domain-service-oriented architecture [2].
How can we teach what simplicity is instead of just calling it better or saying arrogant platitudes like KISS?
[1] yes, the number is that low, and often lower
[2] yes, "micro" services does seem like a mistake in most cases
I'm a very happy Pop OS user for the last year and other Linux flavors long before that. Windows as a kid because where I grew up the Apple ecosystem is just prohibitively expensive.
OSS is the future, please support it. Apple won't be around forever, OSS will.
I skipped to the "what should you do instead" and the code examples the guy gives are laughable. Would rather have that in your code or a few utility classes in your components?
