I got an Elsra USB num pad. It's programmable so you can thrown macros in the keys and you can slip paper under the transparent key caps. So a it's a battery free shortcut button pad.
One look and it's not an option.. the keyboard has a numpad, so the typing keys are shoved over to the left.
This is massively stupid, seems to happen on all Windows PC laptops and it's a mistake Apple didn't make. I use my laptop for typing documents. A numpad ruins it.
I did wonder how the file structure malarky scaled with project size. Most of my programming these days is for command line tools that do data analysis or data transformation from test chip data, so I'm interested in efficiency of the programming process. I'm also old and intolerant of seeing the same old mistakes repeated. Dependency declaration files? No thanks. Python is great when performance and security isn't an issue.
The other part of my programming is for publicly released secure cryptographic software libraries for which rust would seem to be appropriate (no dead store elimination problems, no UCB problems etc.), but the pull of C is strong for reference libraries. I'd love to move this stuff off of C, which is why I'm not giving up. I used to think C++ was nice when I first tried it and it was C with classes. Oh how that changed.
My real job is crypto hardware in chips, for which the languages are way, way worse. Software engineers can consider themselves lucky.
I tried the new rust command line tutorial and it created a directory with multiple files before I ever got to write a line of code. importing a library needed two files with different syntaxes. It took a long time to compile Hello World.
I'm questioning your results. Here are the step to create and run Hello World:
cargo new hello
cd hello
cargo run
That's it. 11 seconds start-to-finish, including fixing a typing mistake.
Look in the directory. Cargo created a directory with some files in it and two sub directories with files in them. You cd into that directory and 'cargo run' it, which both builds and runs it. The build takes a long time (compared say to gcc, which completes pretty much instantly). To follow the command line tutorial I can had to edit a.toml file to declare a library dependency and edit the rust source file to do the import of the library.
I hope it is better than the cluster that is async/await in Python. I am not sure how you have a new language in 2018 though that doesn't have concurrency built in. It is understandable for Python, but not Rust.
That didn't call it 'cluster' without a good reason.
I am enamored with Jai's approach of pulling everything into the the source - the code, build stuff, test etc. I tried the new rust command line tutorial and it created a directory with multiple files before I ever got to write a line of code. importing a library needed two files with different syntaxes.

I want to like rust - It has great security properties - but it's so ugly.
Having lived in both places (US and UK) and brought and sold houses in both places - It's much simpler in the UK. The extremely long queue of rent seeking low-life in the house transfer business in the US is something to behold.
TFA is misleading. You don't need an inspection to buy a home. You do need an inspection to get a mortgage on the property. Banks are probably going to still want inspections. It's in their interests.
I loved my two Mazda MX5s, one NA in the UK and one NB in the US. I also liked, but didn't love the Subaru impreza, which came in handy when we were driving around some rougher terrain.
My next car will probably be a Tesla once I've got sufficient wonga together.
Hondas are good, just avoid the Renaults sold as Japanese cars (Nissans). They're just as bad as the Fiats sold as Chryslers.
My leaf SL is a fine car. The 350Z that preceded it was a fine car
Bad ones I've had - Plymouth breeze: Just crap. Ford F350: a Dinosaur with a flaky FICM. Ford Ranger: At no point did everything work at the same time.
For my writing outside of work, I just use latex. All text files and easy to keep locally and version controlled and backed up remotely on something like github.
Slashdot Mirror
It triggers my PTSD. I used to work for Cadence.
I'll switch to Windows just as soon as you can point me to the windows release that will run the following:
Synopsys Design Compiler
Primetime
VCS
Spyglass-LP
Jasper Gold
Type in data?
You need better lab equipment.

To paraphrase Churchill, Electron is the worst architecture for desktop applications, except for all the other ones that have been tried.
Besides writing code in an imperative language and compiling it with a compiler.
Sounds like the webapp hipsters are upset about something. Not sure what. WTF is "Electron"?
An electron is a fundamental particle of the standard model of physics.
Other people borrow the name (E.G. The Acorn Electron) but this should be discouraged if you don't want to sound like a techblabberer.
11 seconds is very long for one line of active code.

You mean like the ones they carry on "The Expanse"?
No. The battery life on those is way too long.

They still do. Try sticking your hand in the back of my guitar amp head.

Because it's a slow CPU architecture.

All the three Michelin star restaurants I have eaten in have been pretty quiet and it's been easy to hold a conversation across the table.
No so for most of the non Michelin and somewhat upscale restaurants I've eaten in, where all surfaces are shiny and reflective.

>Can we move to your home country, work, buy land, own a company, participate in local government? I didn't think so.
Yes, if you meet the criteria, which are somewhat less stringent than for someone to come from my country to the US.
