  • That makes sense, thanks again! I think dynamic dispatch is not as much of a performance issue in my case, yet you’re totally right not to waste resources that aren’t actually needed. Keeping things on the stack if possible is also a good thing.

    I’ll definitely need to read more about Rusts type system but your explanation was already very helpful! I think this might be why my initial approach felt unnatural - it works but is quite cumbersome and with generics there seems to be a more elegant approach.







  • I’m able to speak German (native speaker) and English (fluent).


    Also, as a German speaker, I’d like to correct the question in the post:

    Formal would be “Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?”.

    More fitting for a casual environment (such as Lemmy) would be “Welche Sprachen sprecht Ihr?” though :)

    This is, because in German there are formal and informal ways of addressing people, both with their distinctive pronouns. Usually, when talking to people you don’t know personally, you’ll address them formally and then, when offered to, switch to the informal style once you know them. Online or among the younger generation it is much more common to just use the informal case though.















  • When you re-import the images into another program/library, they will not be displayed in the correct order and all other information will be lost as well.

    Metadata in general is very useful and contains a lot of valuable information like location data, lens, focal length and device information which you have to manually re-integrate into each and every photo.

    I mean yes, I could write a quick and dirty Python script for this, but why should I have to do this in the first place?

    In my subjective opinion this is malicious as in it only being this way to make it as hard as possible to migrate away. I highly doubt this is the way their servers store the images as it is very inefficient and the images are likely stored in a database instead. This means in order to retrieve a file they have to process each image anyway, so why not follow the universally accepted and well defined standard and include the metadata in each file?
