Ahh too bad, thanks for the answer though :)

Couldn't find any info, so maybe someone here knows: Is QT statically linkable, in particular when used from Rust? That's something that I really value in fltk.

Here's a blog post about the miscompilation bug: https://parsa.wtf/cast/

I've no idea. I kinda assume AI is basically used everywhere, but unless explicitely stated one can seldom be sure.

 

I'm kinda still shopping around for a good graphical filemanager. This is of course still very raw, but the tagging system might actually take care of the bookmark aspect, which is very important to me.

Wait, what? Any more details about this, I’ve never heard about that before. Partially run Drop impls sounds like a big potential for undefined behavior, how could catch_unwind possibly cause that?

Yeah, no, I don't think this is true. It's the reason a double panic will cause an abort. The docs do recommend against using this for general error recovery, but there's no mention of any possibillity of inconsistent state.

I don't have anything to add, except that typst is awesome. And that 'accessibler' should be a word.

I did fill out the survey. Turns out I don't have a usecase for any of this, and therefore I'm in the "don't care" realm really, since I'm also not really appreciative of corresponding features in other languages I know. I'd generally be critical of the cost vs. gain balance here though...

And it really only concerns a certain subset - 32bit applications compiled with the gnu toolchain. I'm glad they keep the workload in check this way.

Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that's kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?

[–] KillTheMule@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Huh haven't heard of this for quite some time, nice it's still going strong :)

I hope this is the first of many contributions we’ll have between the two projects and that we can continue to collaborate with and help each other.

Great to hear!

I wasn't on X, but now I've created a mastodon account :)

Man, I'd love that, if only the pay was better... but than again, if the pay was better I'd be even less qualified. But typst is awesome, all the best wishes for the team including the new hire :)

 

For my library, I want to replace async_std by smol, since the former has been deprecated in favor of the latter. This is mostly just a simple translation (different module structure, names etc.), but what I don't know is how to replace async-std's stdin. Anybody got a hint on that?

 

If you belong to the group of people playing World of Warcraft on linux somewhat competitively (there must be dozens of us!), you might be interested in progrs. It is an alternative to warcraftrecorder and used to create videos of your play. It monitors the combat log for interesting events (for now, deaths of players) and creates chapters in the video for easier searching. For now, only "encounters" are supported (might mean just raid bosses, but I've not done any testing in M+), but each try will end up its own video, just as in warcraft recorder.

I'd be glad for anyone trying it out and giving feedback.

Typst is "A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn". It's written in Rust, and particularly attractive because, while providing a CLI interface, it is a proper library that you can easily incorporate into your progress to produce documents. Protip: If you do so, have a look at sys.inputs, it's awesome!

 

This article very much conveys what I think.

 

Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use

Typst is awesome, in particular if you want to generate documents programmatically.
