As a Lithuanian I can tell that a lot of what Lithuania does with regards to the nuclear plant in Belarus is just fearmongering. The most active critics come from political parties which don't want that plant due to political reasons. Having a nearby nuclear plant effectively controlled by an ally of Putin is not a good thing and I agree with that, but this has nothing to do with safety. It's all political play.
Ironically, a decade ago the same political parties which now oppose the Belarusian nuclear plant wanted to build a nuclear plant here in Lithuania. What's more ironic was that the chosen location was just a couple of kilometers from the border of Belarus.
Personally I'm happy that Belarus managed to build the nuclear plant. In the end of the day, every new nuclear plant results in one less coal power plant somewhere.

Or better, use 3 4K screens :-) My record of the number of source files being opened concurrently was 10 when I was trying to understand a particularly nasty spaghetti code base.

I suggest trying Kubuntu. I've been running 3 4K monitors for years, all works fine, including HiDPI support.

Seconded.
I could have sit on it for 15 hours a day without problems. Other types of chairs caused back pain after only several hours.

It's just more work, because worst case you just need to wrap C++ APIs to C and bind that to rust.

That product is walking dead. Use https://github.com/debauchee/barrier which forked the last open source version.

> This is absolutely wrong! You cannot annotate a function as returning `auto` in C++.
You can do that since C++14.
