  • Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

    It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

    Edit:

    Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

    Using package manager mitigates that.



  • I think most early users do check further than open source licenses. It’s possible they’ll add things later, but if they add after it has enough users we have significant number of users to have some people check. And if the user base is small then they’re probably more involved, or are reading/modifying code for their use cases.

    Of course it’s not foolproof, but it has worked for a long time because of things like that

    Honestly, there’s a lot of increasing religious things going on around the world, and some people claiming their religion did things better than science and we should go back to that. So there are definitely people that’ll benefit from these things if this is funded by them.

    If you find half a worm, you just spit it out, cut/bite out the wormy part and continue. Can’t throw the whole fruit. Although the worms I remember in guava make hard shells around them as they eat, so most times you bite into it, know immediately, and throw that part.







  • I do have a career, I am a specialist of (kinda) GIS and data analysis related to hydrology. I’m currently on the path to complete my PhD within the next year. I have been really successful at pitching my programming ideas on non-programming domain. Solve problems for clients, make applications/algorithms that can outperform what they had before. It does sometimes make me feel like I’m a bit too wide on my skillsets related to others in my field, but at least in my immediate circles, I am still as good in the core aspects of my field. But there are so many people that are better specialist than me if I search around.

    But now, due to the current climate, and situation in the USA, I have been thinking I might have to move to another country before I finish PhD, and I might not be able to find a job in another country immediately, so I’m thinking of finding some small gigs I could do for some side income.
