I recently picked up Rust, still a beginner, but it’s very nice. And the compiler errors and tips are top. Since I used only Python before, Rust is my first compiled language and I’m glad it was Rust. Options and Result’s are also something I appreciate tbh. Other than for AI, simple stuff and maybe prototypes, I would use Rust over Python. Definitely recommend it. The borrow checker is a pain in the ass though. I’ll also be using it later for embedded systems when I become more fluent with it. I am also currently making a big project with Rust that I haven’t been able to do with Python.
Copypasta:
Does a tree make a cracking sound in the forest if nobody’s around to hear it? Well, depending on the circumstances, the answer could be yes, no, or both. According to classical mechanics, the answer is definitely yes.
Classical mechanics, a physics subfield, studies the motion of large objects like planets and galaxies. Determinism and reversibility are central to our comprehension of the physical world; they allow us to predict future object behavior based on initial conditions and the laws of nature, suggesting we can trace motion history back to its initial state.
In classical mechanics, sound is described as a pressure wave propagating through a medium like air or water. When an object, such as a tree, is subjected to an external force, it may crack, causing a rapid release of energy transferred to surrounding air molecules, creating pressure waves or sound waves that travel until reaching a listener’s ear.
Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, creating an electrical signal transmitted to the brain, resulting in the perception of sound. Thus, according to classical mechanics, the cracking sound by the tree is an objective physical phenomenon, occurring regardless of observation.
However, quantum mechanics introduces uncertainty. In this realm, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously, as seen in Schrödinger’s Cat. The presence or absence of the sound of a cracking tree is uncertain until observed, known as superposition.
In quantum mechanics, a particle is in superposition until observed, lacking a definite property. Observation causes the wave function to collapse, fixing properties. Thus, whether a tree makes a sound in the forest without an observer remains unclear until the particle is observed.
Observation’s impact extends to sound waves’ particle components, affecting their behavior. While the sound itself is objective, the act of observation can influence the experience of that sound.
In conclusion, the question of whether a tree makes a sound if no one hears it is straightforward in classical mechanics but introduces uncertainty in quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger’s Cat paradox exemplifies the complexities, challenging our understanding of reality as we continue to explore fundamental principles in our evolving understanding of the universe.
My first discord bot written in discord.py. It had over 800 lines of code. I wrote it all in one main.py and hence the organization wasn’t great. I also wasn’t very good in Python at the time so I am now rewriting it with cogs and better practices.
I still think Briar and SimpleX are the best ones for both privacy and anonymity.
