Warm as in heated water, yes. Room temperature or lukewarm water from the pipes, NO.

Wait people don’t like drinking water? Drinking water (not warm) when you’re thirsty is a really good feeling. I only struggled with forgetting to drink water when I’m not thirsty, but once I am I drink.

Seeing the sugar addiction and soda problem maybe it was because I didn’t drink those regularly growing up. They were just treats. Also as a child we had fun eating certain fruits that were sour/bitter and then drink water after that, it makes the water taste sweet.

Maybe you can try eating/licking lemon/lime a bit and drink water later.

I am really liking iced right now.though it’s not mature yet.

Writing GUI has always been a complicated thing for me and I try to avoid as much as possible. I moved to iced from gtk because of easier compatibility with multiple OSes. It makes a lot of things easier if it’s already there, otherwise it’s a hassle to make new things. Like the network view is custom widget I made.

On this topic it’s also good at finding you a acronym full form that can spell out a specific thing you want. Like you want your software to spell your name/some fun world but actually have full form related to what it does , AI can be useful.

Problem with MS word is you can’t really put vector images in it externally without it being weird. I think that’s why people are used to drawing it in the software.

Honestly there’s probably something similar already. Because the loans are already a way to keep people in the country. You increase the educational expenses by a lot, make people take loans, and then make them pay a lot more after graduation. Since other countries have cheap/free education they don’t offer high salaries, so people don’t leave your country to work on other countries coz they can’t pay those loans on low salary.

I’m against crypto but this logic seems same as money is one fire away from being worthless.

Which is true. We just give worth to things to make it easy for transactions.

Exactly something people would have said a year ago if you replace NATO with US lol

Edit: not saying it’s possible. But it’s what it is

Maybe having different platform make it better than unknown algorithms that make it seem like everyone agrees with you. Like now you know there’s this whole thing for opposite view and you could check that sometimes. But of course that’ll only work for people that like to think, main problem now is they don’t.

I use emacs for almost everything. It took time to get used to. And some time to configure things. But now I’m just riding off my years old config files and packages I wrote as my use case haven’t changed.

I use python, rust, C, R, jupyter notebook, org mode, latex, markdown, PDFs, xml, org-roam, etc.

This is indeed common in countries that have been “westernized”, in many cases people learn in English since very small age in school because people thought/think knowing English means better career prospects and prefer admitting people to schools that do all English. But in many cases they don’t actually have native English speaking people to teach, so they just end up learning their own version of English, written English will be good, not spoken. And for their native language they’ll know oral language but will be worse at written one. And people that studied in non-english schools will at least know their language better in written form, but depending on their career path (for example all higher level education in science is English) it might change.

And in many cases they have a native language that’s not taught at school at all, and considering the past literacy rate, most of their parents don’t know how to write in their own language at all. So they’ll have to learn the most common language of the country and English (2nd and 3rd language), either type of school they goto, they’ll never understand written form of their native language.

Depends on circumstances a lot. It’s easy if you’re in college/work with similar people. Otherwise it might be hard to start, especially if you don’t have a lot of free time.

I moved a lot alone and had to make a new social life a lot. during school, for high school, for college, then jobs, then moved country. Except for last one where I knew a few people every other case I had 0 friends carried over. Hardest to have a social life was during the time I was working on jobs as the ability to meet new people decreased a lot.

So basically it is hard when you don’t goto college and job where you are forced to spend time with people, but that can also sometimes makes it hard to hangout with the same people outside of work.

So far things that have worked out for me:

• People with same interest that you randomly meet sometimes.
• keep your social media connected and when you see stories of people doing things you like strike a conversation about it. Don’t force to have full convo, just say your piece about that story and leave it be if it doesn’t go any farther. Small talks just sharing some sentences are good starting points. If it happens a few time with same person you might find someone you have common things with.
• try some group activities that doesn’t have to have a lot of talking. Something you can be present there just doing your thing, it could be local recreational sports group, volunteering, library, etc.
• friends of friends, statistically your friends in average have more friends than you, so just hangout with them in group activities, and try to make new connections. You have to start somewhere.
• online friends, sometimes it just helps to have people to talk to, careful on who you’re hanging out with, but fandoms and such online are good to make friends that you can talk to without responsibilities of maintaining a relationship. It’ll help you be more open on sharing your interests.

I’m saying if at least half the population was horrified they’d have voted. The people that didn’t vote are apathetic. You can’t subtract people who voted for him from total and group them as against him

At least - no, in that case it wouldn’t have happened. At most half. I’d say it’s way below half.

Yeah, and also even if there’s smart people doing it, it doesn’t matter. Supposed 10% of people don’t use Amazon, as long as 90% are fine, it won’t affect them. Most people won’t look beyond “it costs me less”, the whole reason thing like temu is widespread is exactly that. People don’t care about other people, ethics of things, or even the long term effects of their actions. They just see low price vs high price on everyday setting.

If a chain restaurant gave half price food for a year in a loss to take out all local businesses people would gladly buy it. And then when everything is gone and that chain raises price because there’s no competition they’ll just blame other people, economy, whatever they can find.

In many cases it also comes from the side that people can’t afford to spend more money for the right reasons. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck, and those that aren’t, are still not well off and want to save as much money as they can for retirement/emergencies. You can’t count on anyone except yourself for your future, so they’ll take whatever costs them less now.

Yes thank you. I am using it. I’m good with finding things on the Internet but I’m struggling with parts that are deeper and not well documented. There are big projects that use pyo3, but not plugins. And there are big projects with plugins but not pyo3.

There is a python library as well. But the core algorithm and the plugins are in rust. The GIS component also is computationally intensive or memory intensive, that makes Rust have advantages over python. And the Whitehouse is also talking about more memory safe languages so it seems like a good choice to do it in rust over c/c++ for computational parts and the plugin architecture.

Edit: As for professors. I need external professor for my committee, and this is a good option as I’m not familiar with any CS professors in my university that do grad research.

I’m trying to do computationally intensive things, and I didn’t want to do them in C/C++ because of practical reasons. I am making a python library as well, so people using the program can either use the CLI/rust library or the python library. The plugins and the core program is in Rust.

Can I go completely 180 and suggest programming as a hobby? If you want a hobby where you’re in a computer. Then try learning to program little things. If you work on a computer then it’ll make things easier for you in the future, it’ll keep your brain sharp and teaches you problem solving.

I think it’s mostly because European are more aware of privacy, open source and such. I see that trend here and in many open source projects, and I browse on US times.
