There is still a lot of racism in America. I would not be surprised if I saw that from an American politician.

Not me, but a friend of mine pronounces rhinoceros as if it rhymes with dinosaur-us.

Wtf…

70k is likely way underpaid for dealing with COBOL. I’ve heard of people making 200k for being on-call

I-4 was much easier to drive for me than I-95 in Miami. I have never seen worse drivers.

You can have a memory leak when items are still in scope in some loop or when you have a reference count cycle. The latter happens with the Rc/Arc types in rust.

An example for the former can be a web server that keeps track of every request it’s ever received in memory. You will eventually run out of memory. But you did not violate any memory rules (dangling pointer, etc.). Memory leaks can be caused by design issues.

You don’t need unsafe. Just keep pushing to a vec and never remove anything. Memory leaks are more than lost memory allocations. You can even have them with rc/arc cycles

Rust doesn’t prevent memory leaks. You can do that in every language

VRR is variable refresh rate. Not sure about the others

I organized and threw away cables a few times. Every time a week or two later I’d find the things the power cables attached to and now have no replacement because they were unique to the device.

People become nicer on the east coast of Florida as you go away from Miami.

You’re misreading the ..+? part. That means 2 or more characters, non greedy.

I haven’t regretted it. Did a road trip across the country. Takes more planning because chargers are more sparse than gas stations, but totally doable. Having a place to charge is a must. I lived in an apartment complex without charging and REALLY had to plan my charging sessions or it could get stuck in the parking garage.

If you own an instance it’s better to check with a lawyer. They might give you a warning first or they might go after you immediately. How effective that is depends on what country you live in and which country the server is in.

On the flip side I sold my house in December of 2019. Then decided to rent for a year to figure out where to buy next. Didn’t pay close enough attention to the market before it was too late. I still stay up at night sometimes thinking of how bad that went.

Glad you’re keeping safe!

I would be very careful with laser etching plastic unless you know exactly what the material is and if you have a really good venting system in place. The fumes from some plastic can be very toxic and once you have symptoms it’s already too late to reverse/heal the damage.

You didn’t get any instructions before hand? Is this in higher education or earlier?

You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.

I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.

As a really young kid I thought everyone was born their age. I was not a smart kid.
