If you visit /r/de for example, you'll find that everyone is complaining about Germany being a shit hole country. It's simply unfortunate, if you don't speak a second language, you never get good insight into how people view their own country.
It is bad for the water treatment plants or pipes if its overused. Only water should go down the drain. I can't imagine the comfort they provide makes up for their downsides.
Fraternities are historical I think. At least here in Germany they are.
They pay the costs of going to college (in Germany it's already free, so they simply provide cheap housing) and provide connections to older students and graduates. In turn you are expected to stay as part of the community once you have a job and pay a membership fee that will be used to provide that cheap housing I mentioned.
It made sense back when "not immediately working" once you finished school was really expensive. Not only because of costs, but because of lost wages as well.
Now that the state takes care of this they are losing significance.
We have this in Germany - for the first six months of employment. Ok, it's still two weeks notice because that's the right thing to do, but still, it's less than the 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 months of notice required after working at a place for 0.5/5/8/10/12/15/20 years. (BGB §622 for the curious)
There is no reason to keep the possibility for such a short notice indefinitely.
But I get what you mean, for large projects salute is not an option. Its embeddability is unbeatable though. open_database(":memory:") is so unbelievably convenient.
I personally did one project with PyO3 and it was a breeze.
For data analysis I initially implemented my physics model in python (say f=m*a), but during a fitting procedure (what is "a", given a measured "m" and "f"?) this part of the code is called thousands of times.
Writing such a simple function is rust (twi numbers in (m and a guess for a), one number out (predicted f)) was easy. Since there are no complex data structures involved the borrow checker was happy the whole way through. Rust has bindings for numpy with the ndarray crate/library, so even that was simple.
Simply writing the numerics in rust gave a 40x speedup in my case. I got another 2.5x by making the main loop of my calculation parallel. With the rayon crate this is again a single line change, turning for x in array {...} into for x in array.par_iter() {...}
I can't recommend it enough. If you have a single hot spot in your python code, this is the way to go, even if you are new to rust.
Yeah, it does have some hickups when playing a movie from my HDD. I think it doesn't prefetch enough data, because I didn't have any issues after copying the movie to a tmpfs.
I still use it over mpv, because I truly cannot stand mpvs UX. But a valid point.
