That's... old

Me, omw to register iusearchlinuxtesting.fyi

*Microsoft devs

Now, seriously. Microsoft's devs literally only do something if their boss tells them to, and the boss only cares about money. The support teams only know chkdsk and reboot.

Also, the implementation is fucking horrible. The rule is literally "Press, Think, Speak", because requesting to speak and opening a connection takes a solid 5-10 seconds. Very good if you want to communicate while in a burning house. Literally everybody hates it.

Oh, I guess I should subscribe to a few lists. Thank you!

It already broke in testing a few weeks ago, guess there is no news for testing people.
At least it caused me to overthink the packages I had installed for each device.

Buying or updating an app requires system-wide sign in

Only if one uses the official play store. Which apple does not understand, ofc.

• Spotify (Premium) (Will be exchanged for an open source, self hosted solution with arrrrrr-ed music soon)
• Termux' addons (Got the free F-Droid variants now tho)
• WarnWetter (weather) (Though it was actually free cuz I'm in civil protection)
• Technically the Moto Apps cuz you need a Moto phone for the ROM with the apps

Especially in the US. First of all because they exist there, I haven't seen one in Germany, and second because guns.

Multiple layers go!

OH FUCK

For the last three years I always broke my PB of losing it as fast as possible ... I forgot and got sick, fuck

Use DeArrow and/or ignore the ""algorithm"" fed feeds.

I did too. Multiple times in fact, I had to look at the other Rust code!

Python is a scripting language, but it's generally called a programming language, because there are no key differences in their features or workings. Just as C# and Java, Python is first compiled to .pyc files and then executed with a special program, eg. Mono for C#, OpenJRE for the second and just python for the latter, except for Python it's more hidden. C# supports Classes, Python does, but C does not (officially) ... so wouldn't C be less of a programming language then?
In the end, scripting languages are just defined as one by being easier and faster to run by all/most implementations as the "gcc main.c" and "./a.out" method of "real" programming languages, by just using "python main.py" or "node main.js" for your program. Therefore, they can be changed on the fly and added to another script.
What IS generally called a scripting language is eg. Bash, as it's not compiled, supports few features and is not that cross compatible (except maybe with eg. WSL).

I'm a huge C/C++ fan, but some tasks just aren't suitable for them. Parsing HTML/XML in C++? It's possible, but a pain in the ass. I know it, I did it. Having parsed plans, tables and xml responses in C++, I can tell you Python is more suited for this job. The extra few milliseconds you save aren't worth the hassle of verbose exception handling, non standard libraries which need different systems to stay up to date (some don't support your make system of choice) and harder integrated extension support (you can't just throw in a .py script for support of other providers, but need to explicitly integrate eg. lua support), especially if the bottleneck is not your code, with ~10 ms runtime, but some random ass server with ~100 ms ping.

No, more like

    
use std::process::Command; fn main() { Command::new("sh").arg("-c").arg("echo Hello World!").spawn().unwrap(); }


  

.
Just a little bit shorter, as it seems /s

Personally,

    
echo Hello World!


  

never dream of putting Arch on one of my servers in the same way that

All my devices, including servers and pi, on Arch testing (Only nvidia has fucked me twice):

My father, as a sysadmin with some coding knowledge, got me my first PC, some old tower with a GT 210. I was probably ~5 yo. After moving to a new house (for the fifth time), I got another PC, I think. This one was even older, but with Ubuntu Server it ran perfectly. My father taught me the basics, so cd, mv, nano and init, as we set up a minecraft server together.
A few christmases after that I got a new PC, the old one was promoted to a server and the old server was sorted out (in retrospect, keeping the floppy drive in there would've been kinda cool). Then a Pi was welcomed into the room, yet another server, as the old/new one broke, came too, this time it was a HP Mini Tower thingy. A Raspberry pi zero w for testing and stuff got here too.
But since I got the first server, I learned bash, ofc. Through Minecraft I got to Java, vanilla gets pretty boring after some time. Some time after, I decided to switch to Linux fully (I only dual booted Kali (and before someone starts to scream: I actually needed it)), as Windows kept getting buggier and shittier, I chose Pop as a daily driver. This screamed for custom scripting, so Python came to mind. At the same time I was interested in C# and learned it on my phone, because why not.
One or one and a half years ago I got sucked into depression even deeper, so I switched to my love, always, Arch. Going along was the desire to learn something even nerdier, so C/C++. I'm confident to say that I'm good in python, and OK in C#, so why not. Now I even program things sending and parsing web requests in C++, because speed.

TL;DR:
Strong personal interest since I was 10 through Minecraft (Java), Linux (Python), random other languages (C#, Ruby) and speedy languages (C/C++).

Now I see classmates, 18 years old, and of generation TikTok aka. "I press that button and there are pictures now" trying to learn programming. Fine, I guess, but they lack the most basic skill of all: Acquiring knowledge. Every answer needs to be prepared for them, everything else is inquired from ChatGPT.

I typically associate "clone" with "an exact copy", with the same exact molecular layout and even thoughts. So a literal exact copy. Clones on a DNA basis, so something possible for years, would indeed be different in some details.

Also, twins aren't identical copies either. Different fingerprint etc.
