It wouldn't be as relevant, since passing a function or method instead of a closure is much easier in Rust - you can just name it, while Ruby requires you to use the method method.

So instead of .map(|res| res.unwrap()) you can do .map(Result::unwrap) and it'll Just Work™.

Wow, I can talk to the hallucination machine! What an innovation!

... God, imagine if this all this effort went towards fusion power or space infrastructure. What a waste.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The Remote* extensions rely on the (proprietary) VSCode server, and nobody has managed to hack it to work with e.g. Codium.

The Rocinante is an obvious pick.

I also really like the ships in Starfield, mainly because I'm a cassette futurism shill.

This is what we in the business call a "skill issue."

There are ways around it, yes. But none of them are plug-and-play unless you're lucky, and a reliable solution will require a combination of technical ability, stealth and social engineering.

Just read a book my man.

I'm in a college town, so... it varies wildly. You could probably rent a crack shack 10 miles from campus for basically nothing.

The floor for rent at a "decent" place is probably at least a grand. Actually buying a house? Who the fuck knows, but it'll definitely be obscene.

My university-owned apartment is $600 with a roommate, which is honestly a pretty good deal considering that utilities (including gigabit Ethernet!) are included.

I let FOSS apps collect crash reports and the like. Proprietary stuff though, no chance.

If it's anything like the USB protocol (which I've been working with recently) the names are probably baked into the binary. You're likely out of luck unless you can somehow flash modified firmware.

Perhaps there's a way to give devices an alias on your machine?

Only Spotify, and that's on a family plan. The discovery features are what make it worth the money.

... However, I do have a spotdl script on my desktop that maintains local copies of all my playlists (runs automatically every Monday).

I used to maintain a Jellyfin server for my media, but moving to university put a stop to that - the campus network is cringe and makes it impossible to dial in from the outside. So... just boring old folders for video, and Calibre for my ebooks.

(I did make an attempt at moving Jellyfin to my VPS, but transcoding is... not possible on one core, to put it lightly.)

Here in the US, tap water is safe to drink, but its "hardness" (that is, mineral content) can vary even between adjacent municipalities. Harder tap might taste "bad" or "off," especially if you're not used to it, but it's actually healthier because of all the magnesium/calcium/whatever.

A lot of people use filtration devices (such as Brita pitchers) to improve the taste, but I don't know anyone who would refuse to drink tap.
