Qownnotes

It's a desktop app, but can sync with self-hosted cloud servers. It's also literally just text/markdown files.

For sure, but as long as clickbait works they'll keep doing it.

If they had made the deck more powerful, the old ones would suddenly have been obsolete.

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with current chip technology not actually changing that much in the, what, 2 years since the deck first released?

Also obsolete is a pretty strong word for what - if it had stronger internals - would likely end up being more expensive than current models.

To be fair, "an entire x" does have markedly different connotation than "x". The emphasis is that it's, well, the entirety of x. It's the difference between "i ate the cereal" and "i ate all the cereal".

Honestly, it's because a bunch of programs i used disappointed me (performance, functionality, [being a web app at all], etc.) and i figured it couldnt be that hard to do it better. In some cases i was right, in most i was wrong. As it turns out though, I really like programming so i guess i'm stuck here

I mean to be fair, those errors arent really meant for you (the end user) in the first place.

Generators probably. It's the one thing i genuinely miss about python when i work in rust.

code that's been written today has been made obsolete by a language feature in the latest nightly build

I mean couldnt you say that about any language? There's lots of old C code that's obsoleted by features in C11. There's lots of stuff written in python today that's obsoleted by stuff in the 3.13 alpha. It's just kinda how things go.

Doesnt the edition system prevent this from being too big of an issue anyway?

Counterpoint, i didnt like the rust book at all (as an inexperienced self taught ~6 months to a year into learning python at the time). Programming Rust and Rust In Action were far better.

Seems you missed the last line

compiles to fast code

Obligatory shoutout to Qownnotes for being excellent, fully open source, and with owncloud integration.

Thank fucking god lmao. The PR specifically mentions the Some( case too, which is exactly where i encounter this the most.

Overall very nice changes
