Actually, “earning a living” is an example of an idiom, and it is not meant to be interpreted literally. It just means aquiring the income necessary to pay for the basic expenses of modern life. You may also notice that people rarely find themselves inside of pickles or with butterflies in their stomachs, but before you get angry that someone is suggesting you should break your leg, remember that figurative speech is fairly common.
Yeah! Dumb babies expecting a handout! Fuck em, they need to earn their keep, let’s leave them on a mountain and see if they come back with ore to sell for breast milk.
This is actually how you should declare something that you will never change, but something might change externally, like an input pin or status register.
Writing to it might do something completely different or just crash, but you also don’t want the compiler getting creative with reads; You don’t want the compiler optimizing out a check for a button press because the “constant” value is never changed.
I used to have a spreadsheet of all the packages I use and their availability between distros. I think I’d like to update that and see if Alpine is viable (I like Fedora but it’s getting a bit stale how good and stable it is, so I’m kinda looking forward to trying something new)
Personally, I’m interested in, and prefer the stable version, where that is available, with the only exception being OpenSUSE where I’d pick Tumbleweed any day of the week because it had some packages I wanted that weren’t on Leap yet.
