As hard to believe as it may be for some of you folks who recently got into Windows, there was a time when the Redmond giant had decided that it was going to stick to Windows 10 forever. It was, for some

I would suggest that you upgrade from XP to 2000. Windows 2000 was a much better O/S than Vista!

I could not find a ripped copy yet, maybe it was so good. Visited my local PC shop, they have no copies, all about Googling and download stuff, no idea what they were rambling on about!
Oh damn, just realized I have no internal DVD player to install, have to use an external player, I wonder if my USB 1.0 will be large enough to copy files...

GitHub promises that this new system can remediate more than two-thirds of the vulnerabilities it finds — often without the developers having to edit any code themselves. Fix as in plumber, or fix as in veterinarian?
|
|
|
|
|
Not much to edit in the first two thirds as it was generated by itself as an Ai as master code, not much to edit in the latter 3rd as Dev's do not mess with their own master codes, it is always correct right...

Introduction - Rust for C#/.NET Developers[^]:
This is a (non-comprehensive) guide for C# and .NET developers that are completely new to the Rust programming language. Some concepts and constructs translate fairly well between C#/.NET and Rust, but which may be expressed differently, whereas others are a radical departure, like memory management. This guide provides a brief comparison and mapping of those constructs and concepts with concise examples. Now you have no excuse not to learn Rust!

I've been meaning to bite the bullet. Maybe this will be the final push.

Nooo, don't tell me you became rusty at this!

Thanks ... The idea of both languages side-by-side makes it very interesting for learning  , and Rust Playground makes it even more interesting

Rust Explorer is better. Richer intellisesnse and inline compiler errors. It also keeps a history even if not logged in. Though not always operational. Not working right now. Code runs but no intellisense.

Thanks, good to know ... I'll keep it on the agenda 
Lately I also installed RustRover, I will try it too,
it will be a kind of multi-track learning  ...

Rust for professionals is also worth a look just to get a quick overview of he syntax.
Quote: This is a short introduction to Rust, intended for developers that already know another language. In the examples, Rust is compared with TypeScript, JavaScript or Java, sometimes with C++ or Kotlin.
And also bookmark GitHub - jondot/rust-how-do-i-start: Hand curated advice and pointers for getting started with Rust
What I found initially was that when I first read the initial concepts around ownership and borrowing they seemed straightforward enough. But it's when you start writing real code that things get scary quite quickly. 
I remember being stuck for three days at one point when trying to convert a C# program to Rust. I never did solve the problem. Instead I took a different approach.
I'd also say don't sweat over trying to write idiomatic Rust at the first attempt. Just get something working. So in my case when porting an application I just wanted to get the correct results. Having achieved that I then successively "Rustified" it as I started to learn more.

Many thanks, my backlog for multi-track learning becomes still more interesting,
Wish you a good weekend ...

It's fun though, even when you get stuck. Also the Chat AIs are pretty good. Though these came out well after I'd started learning. It's best to avoid them until you've reached a certain level on your own first. Then you can gain more from them.

I think that may be a pretty good excuse. 
Sorry, just trying to muddy the waters.

But a long way from 1.0. Having said that, a while back I saw a post from someone who's used both and he feels there could be room for both.

When I took a C course way back before becoming a dev they actually started with a bit of Pascal before moving to C. But I never used C very much commercially. Started with C++.

I always thought metal and water creates rust, seems I missed something if you have to learn it. I will have to follow suit and start learning then...

While the terrible Facebook ad featuring PM with Aussie accent is amusing, experts say it's a sign of things to come in political misinformation He doesn't have that accent?
Welcome to our new (un)reality. Every election is going to be horrible from now on, isn't it? (OK, they often already were, but this just makes them even worse)

If only were the elections... I expect a huge increase in a lot of different things, or said with other words, is there anything save from it? 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
