I've tried to learn rust of the longest time but failed, it's not the community that is the problem but the language itself. It is far from aesthetically pleasing, a child of perl and c++ meta template programming that inherited the worst traits of both.

Go and Python are my current preference, and C being an old soul mate.

The Vespa at 80 18 days ago

Euro5 also means >90% less exhaust fumes compared to Euro1 which was introduced 1999 iirc. The difference between a 1950 and 2026 Vespa must be huge.

48kHz has been the recommended setting with Premiere Pro as long as I can remember.

44.1kHz, isn't that what lameMP3 uses as default?

IMHO there is little point of these conversion projects. It screams of "look at me, see what I made" and when the attention goes down a little nothing was ever pushed to the repo ever again.

Perhaps I am out of touch, but a project with author/s that have passion for every line, function and purpose, feels more real and worth my trust to spend time using it.

Angular v22 2 months ago

I like Angular, it feels a bit like Django. Easy to use with everything included.

I am 100% certain, that if you go to a Ferrari dealer and buy one of their cars, they will clearly inform you of their rules.

Of course you can have a friend to buy it for you, but again, it's Ferraris choice who they want to conduct business with as long as they follow the laws to the letter. Their car is their brand and they want to protect it.

Stupid question, but what if you just open an account at a credit union, then have that one connected to plaid?

If it needs to see transactions, just have your salary deposited there, then an automatic transfer the same day to your real account?

Well, implementations of UEFI are all over the board because vendors have their own ideas, that leads to compatibility issues.

It is also a security risk, as it is essentially a huge system (compared to BIOS) under the actual OS, compromise the former and own the latter. The larger code base, the larger attack vector.

Coming back to UEFI implementations, how many of them are actually open source and do not have un-vetted code running (again under your OS)?

Yes, UEFI do have some positives but the security risk far outweighs them.

Instead of a gym another options are joining volunteer groups, a fraternity order (Oddfellow / Rebekahs), a local D&D meetup or local motorcycle club. Sharing a common interest is the easiest way to make new friends.
