I’m finishing up A Crown of Swords this evening.
As someone learning Rust right now (reading through The Book and doing rustlings), most of the basic concepts have been straight forward and easily carried over from the languages I currently work with.
However, as someone who hasn’t touched c or c++ in the 20 years or so since university, the ownership stuff has made my brain hurt. That section in The Book has been a real slog for me and I’ve had go through that section several times now, but still haven’t truly ‘got it’ yet.
All that said, I do like the compiler helping ensure I’m writing good code and in that regards, I can see why the author says that Rust is easy. Instead of beating your head on a desk trying to track down some obscure bug, with Rust, there’s a good chance it’ll tell you where the bug is and why it won’t let you compile (at least based on my beginner understanding).
Most of my day as a Senior is wading through red tape and piecing together out of date internal documentation so the rest of my team doesn’t have to deal with it. Maybe some coding, if I’m lucky these days.
That’s a neat idea. Is the top edible?
Heheh. Sometimes if it’s getting close to going home time, but I just had an epiphany, I’ll add comments to my code so I can remember my train of thought for the next day. Then I promptly forget to remove the comment after I add the code because I get pulled into some other ‘emergency’.
For me, I’d have to lean towards Peter Capaldi with probably Matt Smith and David Tennant a very close 2nd and 3rd.
After watching the first season though, I do wish that Eccleston would have had more time as the Doctor. My first run through that season he didn’t click with me, but after the 2nd or 3rd time through, I grew to have a certain appreciation for his style.
I really enjoyed Peter Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star/Judas Unchained) + The Void Trilogy which is in the same universe as the Commonwealth Saga books and features some of the same characters.
