  • I’m doing Game Dev with Rust (Godot + gdext in my case). Sadly it’s just hobby projects, but would love to actually use rust (at all) at work.

    I choose Rust over other languages (C#, Python, GDScript, C++, etc), because I enjoy writing in Rust.

    I love that it’s so concise and easy to read, while providing super useful errors at compile time, and great auto-completion thanks to the rust-analyzer. Despite it being a much more complicated languages than almost even C++, it provides so much useful information when writing/compiling, that running can be mostly taken for granted (but shouldn’t of course).

    I don’t need to worry about types or pointers, but rather about writing what I want in Rust, which is simply too much fun.







  • Which programming language(s) do you have in mind? Many already have built-in support for this (Go, Rust, Nim), while others have external tools you could use (Python->Poetry). Otherwise, if you want a “fast” (easy to understand) solution, a shell-script might be a fine solution.

    If you want some real power, you could use the nix package manager (as already stated by other comments). It’s easy to install, but you need to learn how to use it, and with that you can easily share dev environments.




  • Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:

    • Kbin’s interface is muuuch more customizable than lemmy’s: browsing form a web browser (desktop or mobile) let’s you modify your viewing experience as much as any mobile app for lemmy (but lemmly itself doesn’t). From infinite scrolling vs pages to font sizes and such.
    • kbin allows for (mastodon-like) boosting of posts, which is like a super-upvote that lemmy just doesn’t have.
    • on kbin you can subscribe to mastodon users aka federate with mastodon. Something that lemmy also can’t.

    Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.


  • Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.

    The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.


  • As already mentioned, poetry (python-poetry) is the best thing I know regarding package management for projects. It’s quite easy to setup and use, and I use it together with pyenv.

    If your problem lies on your locally installed packages, then I think you’re basically on your own manually searching for packages you don’t use. There’s not really a way for pip/python to know which packages are relevant or not (at least not that I know of), and if your problem is just about a single environment, then just delete the environment and start anew.
