  • For any other use case, I would have recommended Rust, but for making a hobby game engine, I would advise not using either rust or Odin and instead use C and C++. The graphics drivers have a primary C Abi and you would spend a really long time debugging C to Odin/Rust translation layer bugs than actually working on he engine.

    I would suggest write a C rendering library, wrap it in safe Rust and move on from there.





  • I started with rust 2 years back. It has been amazing since. Just build stuff you want to use, even recreate simple apps that you use everyday and have a rough idea on how they work. Getting used to the borrow checker takes time so don’t do something massive. Also if you haven’t finished the rust book and rustlings, I highly recommend them. They are amazing materials.

    You can check out my github for ideas. I have till now as far as I can remember built a notification daemon, an automatic music player, a time management app, a video server, video library manager, a C/C++ build system and lots of other stuff. Reading other people’s code will make you get best practices.

    PS Don’t learn from my builder_cpp project. The code is utter garbage, but it was how I used to do stuff in the early days




  • I had tried opensuse tumbleweed and absolutely loved the way it did things, my perfect balance between fedora and arch, but there were Teo problems that I couldn’t get over.

    1. Zypper is slow.
    2. I couldn’t get it to do parallel downloads packages.

    But it’s a great distro nonetheless.

    Also it has a similar problem with fedora that arch doesn’t. VIDEO CODECS. I don’t understand how the USA messes with my ability to play a video and I am seriously annoyed by it.





  • Very sadly, this fucker may live well past 100. I cannot come close to describing to you how much extra awesome health care this rich fucks can get if they want. Want to know every week if there is a slightest possible chance of cancer? Get a weekly mri (doesn’t even have radiation completely risk free). Want a customized dose of ketamine so that you don’t od but get the best high? You got it. Want a leacher to grab all the by products of ketamine metabolism? Here’s the pill.

    Have you played Cyberpunk where the arasaka crapbag lives forever? We are actually paper thin distance away from it.
