You don’t need a car in Singapore. Very good public transport and affordable taxis.

For more brain flipping try looking into hardware description languages (Verilog) or proof assistants (Coq).

Is this a new project that was intentionally started in PHP or something legacy? Any interesting benchmarks? Like minimal wire to wire network processing time and where the bottleneck is?

I saw md5 checksum implemented in scratch.

I would like to hear more

Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

Yea, not with firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.

Uses KDE and not available to general public.

If you open to do some research - you should be able to stay on Debian and use nix the package manager https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/111099224022408403

Comes with some steep learning curve, almost a learning cliff though. But once past this - it’s good.

That’s what I’m using, but it’s not a fully featured replacement.

Been using it since forever, no reasons to switch. It works. Got a bit upset at them when they killed xul/pentadactyl though.

Yea, something like that. Using it on my laptop already. configuration.nix for system plus home-manager for user stuff. Will move the desktop soon-ish.

NixOS. I’m going to migrate to NixOS by then.

Don’t use it - vote with your feet :)

You can find answer to most of the questions in google. And there are always people who are willing to help in the internets.

Kind of like flatpacks but it’s done with symlinks and fancy changes to the build systems. I think it fits better for the developer environment.

Biggest package repository, a very strange package manager that lets you reproduce exact environment for any package. But also takes a bunch of time to understand and you basically have to learn a whole new programming language to use it if you don’t want to copy-paste examples.

What PPA was it? I’m using this one and it seems to be still native. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt

That said - I’m experimenting with NixOS to move to.

When adding a new dependency I almost always go over the source code to see what kind of performance to expect. If build.rs is there - checking it takes a single click so yes to that too. Derive macro - less frequently, but you have to do it when documentation is non existent.

No, serde_derive contains the binary and if you are on linux it will try to run it without asking the user. In fact there’s no way to make it so it won’t run.
