I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

Struggling a little with this too. The distance of time is my biggest grief: it’s hard to apply for jobs, when my most relative experience for various roles is 5-10 years old. And the further along in my career, the less there is to show, or people to speak up for what I accomplished. “Did I really do that, at all”… worst case of imposter syndrome I can think of.

I think that’s been asked before. That’d be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don’t think Rust does (yet).

A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you’re not using Kotlin, you’re probably using Java for Android dev.

He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more “kooky” libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it’s hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had…

If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a “catalog” of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.

Good to know. You make a good point about the direction of traffic: folks will definitely pull more from here, than folks here requesting from other servers. And TIL inbound traffic is free on Vultr, so you don’t have to worry about that cost at least.

I saw some folks posting that they were doing Lemmy instances with cheap Vultr instances. Are you using something similar? And how’s the bandwidth going with peering to other nodes? I’ve toyed around with the idea of starting my own node.
