I understand the downsides people have of systemd, but I have the feeling the huge upside is often overlooked.
Holland is part of the Netherlands. Not unlike how say Texas is part of the United States.
So in that regard the statement was redundant, yes.
Learning this also complicates things as I am feeling overwhelmed with all the things needed for simple configuration structures instead of starting out with a simple program.
I gave up on the synced reading position at the same time I sold my Kindle, but I can live with that.
Getting stuff on the device is a bit of a hassle too, because I can't exactly go plug it in to my NAS, but exporting 50+ books to a directory and copying them manually takes a few minutes and I'm set for a year or more - so it's time well spent :D
Having everything (except for comics) consolidated in one place is the main reason I tolerate Calibre's quirks and eccentricities. It's ... opinionated, but it's still by far the best tool available for the price.
It will convert books to Kepub automatically and you can select to only sync certain shelfs.
Go does have operator overloading, for example + is overloaded for float.., int.. and even non numeric types like string.
And it does so for a very good reason: having operator overloading makes code much more readable when used correctly. It's just that the language designers didn't trust their users.
As long as you know the types of x and y you always know precisely what x + y does, same as you know what x.Add(y) does. There's no difference.
And verbosity helps, forcing users verbosity helps the general level of quality. Programmers could overestimate themselves and think they are doing it correctly. Looking back in my code from a year ago I see things I should have done differently. I like languages that avoid me making real dumb mistakes
And IDEs have integrated terminal panes as well.
Same way an IDE is a nicer debugger, linter, profiler, test run platform...
