That is a common thing i think. It's pretty common for people to like, finish paying bills or renew their lease or things like that, stuff involving planning for the future, before...

Well all that to say my friend I have been there. It's good to have things you want to do before you go. I hope you decide to stick around. But if you don't I hope you manage to get all out of life that you want to.

It's actually not, it's very good! The premise is what if the soviets beat the US to the moon. Each season takes place in a different era in the space race, in an alternate history where things are a bit better.

The current season however takes place under president Al Gore and everything is being privatized (which is portrayed negatively) so there's kind of a lot of shitty stuff going on. The show itself is good.

The one thing i find hard about rust is that most of the programs I write for my day to day use are things that basically just call linux system calls, or use popular C libraries, things that C++ is extremely good at. Or they're things that are trivial to do in python.

So as much as I like Rust, I don't actually know how to perform a sha256sum on a file and then set an xattr for it (without shelling out or downloading a random crate).

It's little things like that that keep it from being my go-to, but it's really good and I want to use it more.
