First time I hear about checked exceptions. How do you use them ? Are you forced to handle them explicitly ? Is the handling checked at compile time ?

3. Is a modern language with a good build system (It’s like night and day compared to CMake)

Meson exists … as do others.

But they are not the default option. And your new job may not use them.

4. And I just like how the language works (errors as values etc.)

Fair enough; though why? What’s wrong with exceptions?

Exceptions is a non standard exit point. And by “non standard” I’m not talking about the language but about its surprise appearance not specified in the prototype. Calling double foo(); you don’t know if you should try/catch it, against which exceptions, is it an internal function that may throw 10 level deep ?

By contrast fn foo() -> Result<f64, Error> in rRst tell you the function may fail. You can inspect the error type if you want to handle it. But the true power of Result in Rust (and Option) is that you have a lot of ergonomic ways to handle the bad case and you are forced to plan for it so you cannot use a bad value thinking it’s good:

• foo().unwrap() panic in case of error (see also expect)
• foo().unwrap_or_default() to ignore the error and continue the happy path with 0.0
• foo().unwrap_or(13.37) to use your default
• foo()? to return with the error and let the parent handle it, maybe

I’m using helix with arrows. On a standard layout its not so great, but on my main keyboard I have a layer with arrow keys near hjkl. So I can use that on all software even on my BÉPO (DVORAC like) layout.

From the article’s own summary.

False Load Output Prediction and Speculative Load Address Prediction allow for data leaks without malware infection

But I guess “IA summary” did its best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

neither strictly nor strictly typed.

I think one of them should be “strongly”, but I understood your point.

Thinking back, I don’t have the doc easily accessible (on phone), but I think the C API state the type you want to read. Like get_int(smt, VALUE_INDEX, …), so at least in the C API, most of this should not be visible. Maybe only the SELECT 1 = '1' part (or others comparaison fully done in the SQL string)?

But they silently converted the string ‘1’ into the number 1. So now in my same code, I want to select back my stringy ‘1’ that I putted in the type affined INTEGER column.

And you are telling me its normal that I don’t get it back ? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding something?

Thanks to valve/proton, the biggest issue for playing on linux nowadays is the kernel level anti-cheat they force on some competitive games.

Other than that most of the games just work, especially if they were made in a common engine (godot, unity, ue, …)

The only AAA I play are Nintendo ones (and RTS/MOBA since its a niche genre and you need a community for PvP). Since quite some times already. But I only look out for indies, I love getting new experiences and gameplay.

And even when the gameplay is not new, the attention to details (gameplay wise) is at 1000% only on indies (Celeste, Hollow knight, Factorio, …)

Yup, pull requests are an invention from git’s servers (I think github came up with that first). The built in way (famously used by the linux kernel) is git-send-email.

Just use this one… or any of this 4 others.

This is the issue for us, python outsiders. Each time we try we get a different answer with new tools. We are outside of the comtunity, we don’t know the trend, old and new, pro and cons.

Your first recommandation is hatch… first time I’ve heard of it. Uv seems trendy in this thread, but before that it was unknown to me too.

As I understands it, it should be pip’s job. When it detect I’m in a project it install packages in it and python use them. It can use any tool under the hood, but the default package manager shoud be able to do it on its own.

On that note, I’m hesitant between writing my scripts in perl or python right now. Bash prevent sharing with Windows peoples… I just want to provide easy wrappers tools that are usually aroud 10 lines of shell, but testers ain’t on linux so they cannot use them.

I don’t know perl, but each time I interract with pyton’s projects I have a different venv/poetry/… to setup. Forget adout it the next time and nothing is kept easy to reuse.
