You are framing the issue as men vs women, it's classic culture wars.
Saying that because you could do something all people that can't do that are inferior is quite an arrogrant stance. Lots of people can give a shit and still be bad at things. Very few people put up a dating profile they think is bad.
I just think that the unpresidented transformation of how dating works in the last 15ish years, doesn't work for anyone very well. There are studies showing how it is affecting the fertility rate. With just a handful of companies controlling the algorithm that most people now use to find their partner, with no oversight or accountability.
I don't think the dating landscape would be any healthier if everybody suddenly got good photos. Algorithm based dating just leads to general dissatisfaction. Not that it was much better in the past to be fair, but at least it was organic.
This is what's wrong with the culture wars. You know why most men don't have any pictures of themselves, or if they do it's of them doing something else? That's the only time people take pictures of them. Most men literally don't have someone that they can just ask to take a picture of them. That coupled with the generally terrible body image issues most men have means taking dating profile photos is intimidating, better just to flick through the ten or so photos you already have and pick a couple.
I would bet the vast majority of men posting pictures of themselves holding fish would love decent photos just of them but have no idea how to do it themselves or have anyone to ask.
You can criticise rust for a lot of things but bad learning materials I don't think can be one of them. The sheer amount of high quality learning materials is one of the selling points for the language. It was one of the areas targeted strongly to get an easy on-ramp to drive adoption.
I haven't looked for this kind of resource before but I found one that looks very high quality and up to date in less than a minute. https://github.com/nrc/r4cppp
I think the main mainters are very busy at the moment which is why a few big features got merged immediately after this release. They want some time to let them get tested by people on the edge as they didn't have time to iron everything out themselves.
This whole thing is incredibly immature and seems to be blown up to an absurd degree.
Did ThePHD unfairly have their hopes raised about giving a keynote speech? Sure. Was this done out of malice? After - for some reason - thousands of words of aired dirty laundry I can't see any indication it was. I can't see how hyper-analyzing everyone's testimonies and expecting people to have a perfect memory of things they never thought they would have to post-hoc justify helps anyone. Is it really reasonable to expect people that get into highly technical positions based on technical merit to also be perfect organisers and have flawless interpersonal skills?
If there was some catalog of people being offered keynotes or other prestigious things and having them taken away due to spite I could see this being worth spending time over but as a one-off this all just seems absurd. Unless of course there was some key detail I've missed in the half-dozen blogs posts that makes everyone involved terrible people?
Neat, a way of ensuring zero panics in at least your own code is really cool. I wonder how deep the lint goes.
OK so looking at that PR the reason you aren't getting any errors is because it looks like one of the dependencies is trying to load python and thats where the error occurs. Rust would normally give you a pretty good stack trace but because this is happening in external code it can't and you won't fix it in the av1an codebase. vscode likely has its path setup differently allowing it to find python. I would double check the paths inside the vscode terminal and wherever you are running it.
Dynamic libs in rust are supported but only through a c abi and it's a bit complicated.
Looking at av1an I couldn't see anything showing it is dynamicly loading anything, it looks to statically link to ffmpeg according to the build instructions.
