Super stoked to see the note on rustc!

Would you mind sharing any details of your dev setup (HW/SW)?

Spoiler alert: I am also the maintainer of Pop!_OS and the Principal Engineer at System76 so it will be easy to guess.

I have loads of computers (which helps when doing OS work!) but my main one is my desktop. I have a System76 Thelio Mira with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU, 128 GB DDR4-3200 ECC RAM, a couple PCIe Gen 4 drives, and a couple larger PCIe Gen 3 drives. The most important parts of my setup, though, are my System76 Launch keyboard and 3x LG 27GL850 monitors. There's also probably a mouse somewhere.

This computer runs primarily Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, but on those extra drives I often have some other OS's installed for testing. I also use loads of VM's, as you can probably imagine.

For apps, I mostly use Alacritty for my terminal, Firefox for my browser, and Vim for my editor.

Some insights into a rationale ex-spleen nation of the future. Thanks for sharing.

If the opening illustration catches your fancy, Goodsell's book "The Machinery of Life" may be a good buy. https://ccsb.scripps.edu/goodsell/machinery-of-life/

He also illustrates the Molecule of the Month section of the PDB (https://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm), which highlight different proteins.

As as sidenote, his depictions of proteins are usually rendered using a Fortran program he wrote several decades ago: https://github.com/ccsb-scripps/Illustrate

TIL, thanks for sharing!

It's all about perspective... literally; You're just a dark mode deity. https://darkhn.herokuapp.com/item?id=30668137]

Totally thought that was cl for command line...

Not by any means a Jibo replacement, but Peeqo may be of interest for some of the social aspects. https://peeqo.com

I almost backed the Coolest Cooler, until I saw the built-in 'ice blender' and realized I didn't want a cooler that required a power supply. Sad to see so many people get taken for a ride :/

A friend of mine got hers and loves it. She uses it multiple times per year, it is a staple at her parties.

I understand not all backers were so lucky, but it seems to be more a situation of the company not being able to execute on something that a lot of people actually did want (judging by the # of backers they had).

Interesting, cool to hear that it wasn't all bluster. So now I must know... how's that blender?

It has made plenty of iced cocktails, so it seems to work well enough for her!

can lead you to some fun places.

I am intrigued, but I think I still need a bridge to help me get to practical uses in my my fields involving (largely) non-physical systems.

Tenet would beg to differ.
