How is that better than the nixos provider? The trouble is the links to the source code right?

Github copilot used to only be in line completion. That is not vibe coding.

No, Rust is in the kernel for driver subsystems. Core linux parts can't be written in Rust yet for the problem you mention. But new drivers *can* be written in Rust

As an init manager, systemd is the best thing that has happened to the wider linux ecosystem. Being able to indicate dependencies, document order and being able to let an application tell the init manager it is done and dependents of it can be started makes starting up way better.

I understand the downsides people have of systemd, but I have the feeling the huge upside is often overlooked.

And ASML is not in Holland, nor is Nexperia or ASMI. I can't think of any semiconductor business in "Holland".

The person you replied to agreed, but the maintenance could be done by other people while Hashimoto could continue to improve other technologies.

The language and the compiler infrastructure is for me the biggest problem. It's very hard to understand what is going wrong when it goes wrong. Most advice feel like copy pasting existing code without knowing what it does.

Learning this also complicates things as I am feeling overwhelmed with all the things needed for simple configuration structures instead of starting out with a simple program.

Kobo Sync as it's called in the documentation (https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Kobo-Integratio...) works very well, and is very easily enabled (updating a single line in a config file on the ereader that appears when you mount it on your computer).

It will convert books to Kepub automatically and you can select to only sync certain shelfs.

There is no difference to a .Add() function, that's true but even for strings you wouldn't have an Add function. It would be an Append() most likely which explains much more what is happening.

And verbosity helps, forcing users verbosity helps the general level of quality. Programmers could overestimate themselves and think they are doing it correctly. Looking back in my code from a year ago I see things I should have done differently. I like languages that avoid me making real dumb mistakes

IRC has no chat history either, right. I get the simplicity of IRC but searchable history is a bonus for Discord. As long as the service is available, searching is kinda possible. With irc you have to find out which bot provides history, which is then usually split over multiple files
