Is the Secure Boot shim thing related to Windows breaking dual-boot setups of late? Are they all updating to avoid some kind of Secure Boot issue in general?
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).
If you look up my username on LinkedIn, you can get a good summary of my career. Most of my jobs have been go in, fix things, then on to the next thing; though the immediate COVID period was pretty bumpy in that regard (shorter-term gigs). I'm pretty sure I need another cert or two at this point, but have had some family issues distracting me the past few months from studying/focusing on what's next. I'm also working three different things right now (1 5-10hr/wk PT job + 2 intermittent gigs). I can't remember the job market being this bad or picky in my life; and I actively wonder how I'd be able to leave the field entirely. It feels like everyone wants a unicorn on the cheap these days.
Something with a "solid" 10-15/hrs a week would be an improvement over what I have going on right now; let alone full-time work. How do I even find such a thing on LinkedIn/Indeed/whatnot? Reddit's gotten me at least two jobs in the past, but the state of things there seems to be less promising these days. I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else is in a similar situation, and how they're managing.
Thank you.
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.
Guest Post: How to easily enable IPv6 support for apps without it.
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.
An updated version of the classic "Basic Computer Games" book, with well-written examples in a variety of common MEMORY SAFE, SCRIPTING programming languages. See https://coding-horror.gi...
Saw this on Hacker News; it's an ongoing compendium of classic BASIC games, rewritten in up to 10 accepted programming languages; as well as space for "alternative" languages.

I wrote this in Fall/Winter 2022/23 and got some use out of it for my own data archives. Haven't done much else with it since, but would be willing to add/revise some features on it, if there's interest.
The Nim team is happy to announce version 1.6.14, our seventh (and largest) patch release for Nim 1.6.
I hadn't seen any posts here about Nim yet, and wanted to find one that was a good introduction to it. "Zen of Nim" from 2021 appears to describe the language fairly well, and is based on a presentation from the language's creator.
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.
