Is the Secure Boot shim thing related to Windows breaking dual-boot setups of late? Are they all updating to avoid some kind of Secure Boot issue in general?

I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

I think that's been asked before. That'd be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don't think Rust does (yet).

A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you're not using Kotlin, you're probably using Java for Android dev.

If NAT64/DNS64 isn't an option, setting up a small proxy server on an OpenWRT or OPNsense router might work. That assumes you have access to public IPv6; which at that point, you're better off using said router to provide dual-stack internally.

He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more "kooky" libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it's hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had...

If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a "catalog" of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.

 

Saw this on Hacker News; it's an ongoing compendium of classic BASIC games, rewritten in up to 10 accepted programming languages; as well as space for "alternative" languages.

Hey there! Yeah it's me, from r/ipv6. Thanks for pointing that out about Cloudflare, I forget it can do that. And hope you are keeping well!

https://programming.dev/ pings over IPv6. Basically, any instance being hosted via Vultr should have IPv6 by default.

 

I hadn't seen any posts here about Nim yet, and wanted to find one that was a good introduction to it. "Zen of Nim" from 2021 appears to describe the language fairly well, and is based on a presentation from the language's creator.
