If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

It’s also market manipulation.

1. Annouce tariffs
2. Markets drop
3. Trump and friends buy low
4. Reduce/Remove targetted tariffs
5. Markets rehydrate a bit
6. Sell shares bought low
7. Profits

Not OP but I can share my journey through my career.

Depends on where you are in the world and your work ethic.

I was a terrible student with a hard time understanding harder maths (due to my schooling, but that is something specific to my region), and I was still able to graduate with a 3/4.3 score. It was a lot of hard work that I wasn’t prepared to do due to my work ethic. I had to learn to be at least decent fast and the first year was brutal.

My experience is that university is a lot harder than the work after university. But the corporate world can be soul crushing. In big corpos, you usually do the same part of a process where as during university, you do a lot of interesting and varied stuff.

My electrical engineering program was generalist with each semester being a different domain of electrical engineering and me being interesting in embedded electronics. So doing a semester of power transmission lines was brutal because I wasn’t that organised and didn’t like the courses.

Society tend to romanticize engineering, but there is a lot of busywork and project management and you get caught in administrative bullshit just like any other job (ask a software engineer thoughts on stand-ups and agile and be ready to hear horror stories).

But, if you really like engineering, there are those moments of pure engineering that makes you forget all the bullshit around and make the career worthwhile.

So life rambling aside, engineering is a worthwhile career. It is not an easy path, but the work is manageable though sometime overwhelming. Treat university like a 9-5 job with some overtime and you’ll do fine.

I didn’t have to worry about the financial side of things because I live a place where school is cheap and student financial aid is plentiful. So keep that in mind when making your decision because I cannot comment on that part.

I understand that there is always a fall guy. Even before AI was shoved everywhere, those really responsible for the problems they created were not held accountable and put the blame on a fall guy.

That’s the neat thing, you can deny accountability by blaming the computer’s decision

It was a tongue in cheek joke.

That explains the state of the society I guess

I won’t hold my breath. They aren’t some sort of incorruptible super soldiers. They are human et they fall prey to corruption like any other human.

Chances are this will be bad for the US and, by proxy, the rest of the world.

What shell do you recommend?

Employers can go suck a big fat cock.

If the enployee can communicate with their managers and co-worker in English when needed and talk in an other language when they talk between them, there’s nothing wrong.

The documentation is usually dog shit.

The corporate culture does not allow appropriate time for the documentation as it is considered something that cost money without a quantifiable gain.

It permeates in the FOSS space as well since writing good documentation is a skill and it is not fostered in corporations. So devs start great projects with terrible documentation.

Same, and I use portainer to manage my docker compose stacks.

I can bring down a container without bringing down the whole stack of services.

It’s not a call for violence, so that’s cool beans

This is a well known human trait.

This is why marketing is so effective.

I am a native French speaker and the ð makes more sense to me because th in the for example, makes the sound “d” in French.

Are Rust macros akin to the C macros? Basically an inline replacement of a code section?

Lots of your point apply to any language it seems. I should have specified new projects I guess.

But the points you’ve made are good nonetheless

I interface with low level communication protocols, mostly uart, so it fits my use case. But it is nice to see the hurdles people encounters. It tells a lot about the language.

I know Rust superficially. I use it to create simple tests for my embedded projects, so mostly just serial terminal with keyboard inputs.

It works a lot better for me than python because Rust is a lot closer to C than python.

So I cannot comment on Rust shortcomings. I was interested in knowing for what kind of projects Rust wasn’t good.

I am glad for your comment because I work with mcus and embedded solutions in C, so Rust, in that case, wouldn’t be neccesarily safer than C.

I will have to look into it. I need to do 30h of training every two years, so I will learn Rust regardless, but I was thinking about eventually switching to Rust for embedded projects. Might just keep Rust as my scripting language because it is easier for me than Python
