Partial documentation combined with complex code will be great for your bank account.

Code fast, and badly, always under promise and over deliver. Before the shit hits the fan, move to another place.

Next person after you will take the blame. You may be hired again at premium as you can deliver. Blame the replacement Dev for breaking the code and causing a lot of damage.

Fix the little that is possible, at premium rate and move on.

You are confusing Nix with Debian.

I don’t see a reduced number of CS students that enjoy poking around. I see an increase in the number of students that are there only for the good salary. Making the poking type into a smaller percentage.

You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.

I have no experience using such big eink and can’t comment on their quality.

Bought a math book from them, they refunded it with no questions, after I read a lot of it, because some of the equations were unreadable.

You are right, it will be a mess to pull xz from a different hash. This is why you go back to an older build, and keep only packages you need on the newer version.

NixOS is aimed at highly technical people. You literally code your system structure.

Nix lets you go back, and you and even mix channels. Pulling one package from a different version.

Like other programming languages there are no general answers. Im currently doing Bioinformatics, learning Rust was the easiest part.

One of my friends is doing DevOps in Rust within the crypto world. I don’t even know half the words he is using to describe his work.

Being bad at math does not make you dumb. I failed math at school, and thought I will fail computer science.

I had very hard time in calculus 1 and 2, but appreantly I’m great at discrete mathematics. Introduction to mathematical logic was so fun, I took an advanced course in temporal logic.

Finished the degrees second in my year. Got into a multidisciplinary masters program and finished that too.

I’m now the guy that gets the problems others failed to solve in the lab.

On another note, the person I got to know that is best at learning math, sucks at every other subject in life. He can read math books cover to cover and then use it even a year later. He can’t prooerlly feed him self, not from home made meals his mom packed for him as a student and not shopping from the store. If you can take food from the the refrigerator into your plate without making a huge mess or poisoning your self, you are already ahead in life.

tl;dr being bad at math doesn’t make you dumb. School level math has almost nothing to do with programming and Uni level math.

Got the OK to try Rust as a Python replacement for a small internal tool when we maxed the system’s RAM. The Rust version took 1/10 the memory.

After after a few more internal successful changes to Rust, we now have one public tool developed in Rust.

The language is amazimg. Used to be C for performance, Python for the rest. No more C for us. We even use Python less.

We starter to use Rust for development, so unless a job was lost somewhere, it went up by at least one.
