It's either Nasal or Aural, and I'm actually not sure which would least worst

You are correct, I had misremembered how it works. It can evaluate build arguments, but they have to be numerical. However you can define new variables (in the pre-processor, not in code - ie, after a #) to replace those numbers, to make the intent clearer. Eg.

#define DEBUG_1 1

#define DEBUG_2 2

#if DEBUG_LEVEL >= DEBUG_1

Then pass the build arg DEBUG_LEVEL at compile time

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Can only speak to the UK, but in the 90s women drinking pints of beer was so radical that they got their own name - ladettes, which also tied into the Girl Power movement (might have been third-wave feminism adjacent? Idk)

These days if a woman drinks a beer nobody would even bat an eyelid, it's just such an unusual thing to think that was ever considered not normal. This is just one case, but it's indicative of one way that society has progressed. There are many more examples of such societal changes.

Your statement prompted me to think back to when the BBC used to run stories on the dangers of uppity Ladettes and what that might mean for the establishment.

In respect to 1) you're absolutely correct, that should be two sentences and not the horrible run-on that I created.

In response to 2), yes I can understand being wary of spam callers, there weren't nearly as many 15 years ago when I was doing the job. It was targeted research, so people who'd opted in to being contacted for marketing purposes ("how is your new toaster working out for you") or local authority requests for comment ("are you happy with the new park that opened").

I've had some real howlers the other way though (with actual scammers) so I understand the frustration, one woman who was obviously a spam PPE caller yelled at me "don't you like money!" after I had politely declined,and there's no dealing with that. In the end the easiest thing to do and a definite improvement on being nasty, is just hang up, in my opinion.

You ended your post with "fuck telemarketers", on a post where I was highlighting that I hated having to do that job, so yeah, you demonstrate a distinct lack of empathy, if there's a wider context on that comment please let me know, as I'm not trying to strawman you, when you explicitly stated I deserved to be treated like that.

The fact you think telemarketing is about selling a product and not market research (about all sorts of things including political opinions, or NGOs etc) shows that you don't know what you're talking about and seem like an angry person. I'm going to disengage now, but I hope you can find peace :)

I mean all technology terms welcome, I didn't consider them before. I don't know if Kubernaughts is the right term for K8s practicioners but I suspect it should be.

[-] filtoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

Haha, I always suspected!

[-] filtoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)

I wanted to learn and I do that best by making games (find it holds my attention), found it a mixed bag, in that Bevy is quickly becoming the de-facto game engine in Rust (I know not strictly true but it is very popular), however that involves learning Bevy, rather than Rust.

So instead recently I've started making games with Yew (Web lib, using WASM) and Warp, to get to grips with those. I've been doing a game dev live stream too, where I work on a project (FOSS) to try and show the stuff I learned. Mostly just for the enjoyment of solving maths problems with an audience!

Sadly when I was laid off last year I couldn't find anything in Rust but I'm hoping my next contract might involve at least some.
