Jiff is a new date-time library for Rust that encourages you to jump into the pit of success
  • You should look at it, they say the implement RFC 9556 timestamps, which include tz info. In my experience it IS useful in real use, because a fixed offset timestamp can lose a bit of information.

    For example, if you have a timestamp and want to add a few months to it, for example for a reminder, you will get a timestamp at the same time in the same offset. In many cases that will be wrong, because of things like daylight savings time, which change the offset of the timezone. You will get a timestamp an hour before or after the moment you intended, and it will be in the "wrong" offset in that timezone in that time of year. With timezone aware timestamps, they are aware that the offset will change, and will be able to give a timestamp in the future at the correct time and offset.

  • In this section, wouldn't be more realistic for chrono users to use timezone info around the wire instead of on the wire, rather than using Local+FixedOffset?

    They do say that the difference is that chrono users would need to keep out-of-band timezone information in addition to the datetime, whereas Jiff does it in-band.

  • Question: Just got a Surface Go; want to install linux (use case details in post)
  • I have a Surface Go 1 with 8 GB RAM running Aurora-DX, which includes the linux-surface kernel. It works great, and I find that modern KDE works quite well with touch, even though I mostly use it with the type cover attached. I only use the surface connect port for charging, but I do use the single usb-c port with a usb-c hib, and it works well. The Fedora atomic distros work great on little machines like that.

    Edit: I'd add that Bluefin is the same with Gnome.

  • Recommend me an eink reader that I can transfer files to from my phone
  • I never had performance issues, but I don't read huge books or anything. There seem to be some online converters, but I agree that is not the most ergonomic. Maybe calibre-web could also do the job, with you connecting to it through your phone's browser.

    Never heard about the kepub format but I'll look into it, sounds cool.

  • How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client
  • Probably wifi, I dont think Moonlight Embedded uses much ram. I also get the undervoltage warning nearly constantly, since the a+ is powered by the usb port of a projector. Maybe that also affects things.

  • How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client
  • I use Moonlight Qt on a raspberry pi 5, and used it on a raspberry pi 4 before that. Both connected via ethernet, streaming at 150 mbps. It works very well, feels like being at the computer. It feels like there is next to no delay, and moonlight reports around 5 ms.

    Somewhere else I use a raspberry pi 3 A+ with Moonlight Embedded, connected via Wi-Fi, and it works pretty well, but I can notice the delay a bit more. Still able to stream at 40 mbps.

  • Child killed in USA school shooting is identified
  • I mean there's more than these two categories. There's "Canadian news", "French news", "South Korean news", "USA news", and so on. It's not a privileged classification, it's national news, every country has them.

  • Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?
  • I have the 128 GB storage 8 GB RAM, it's still very usable. I often get annoyed with the small SSD, I'd assume 64 GB is way too small. Also if I remember correctly the 64 GB version has much slower eMMC storage, while the 128 GB and up have a real SSD.
