Under Windows I use following keys to switch among 3 languages: ctrl+8, ctrl+9, ctrl+0. No Autohotkey is required for that, Windows has built-in feature to redefine these keys combinationations (with some limitation).

>non-automatable windows servers They are fully automatable, actually. Powershell is all you need fo that, plus, maybe, Active Directory.

Excel Solver allows you to create target function with different variables and describe limits for them. Then you may try to find maximum, minimum or exact value for the target function.

They support Oracle Linux. It is almost the same as RHEL.

There won't be any other front. Just stop fantasizing. Russia has the same regime as China. China is sponsoring Russia's war with Ukraine by buying Russian oil, supplying dual-use products, and providing diplomatic assistance to R

Russia will never fight against China. Moreover, Russia can already be considered a Chinese province.

>Most cases But not all of them, right? I don't need scaling across different hosts, but I need scaling between different threads on the same host. And I don't want for that PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle an other stuff like that.

I have such application. It scans hosts for gathering some information in several parallel threads. Then each thread stores part of this information in Sqlite database.

It seems you didn't get the point. Why spending my time for learning those things, if in another language you may perfectly live without them?

>people overstate its complexity without much study/experience The is no need in any experience to have ability to estimate C++ complexity. C++ specification is about 1500 pages.

Rust is not only about ownership or ints with specific bit lengths. It is about powerful type system which is quite important in business logic (if you have enough knowledge to use it properly).

I disagree. It requires to know Python, YAML, Jinja2, own set of commands. It requires careful developing of playbooks. It is slow. It is complicated for non-standard cases where you don't have ready for using modules. Is there a bette

In early versions (before 1.0) Rust already had GC. But then it was removed.

Garbage Collector acts mainly in unpredictable way. I mean it is possible it won't free memory even if counter is zero already. This is not true if we are talking about Rust.

So, you can't rely that someone will follow that style in Zig. That is my point.

>The idiomatic way to handle that is with some combination of `defer` and `errdefer`. Then, in code, there are no lines between alloc/free, and if a try would exit before the free then you would instead first free anyway. Do I under

>1) Lack of a garbage collector does not make your program faster, it makes the performance more easily predictable in terms of latency. AFAIK, some time ago non-predicable GC behavior was the reason why Discord migrated from Golang to R
