Installing specific versions of a package with apt
To list available versions of a package (e.g. rustc), run
$ apt list --all-versions rustc
rustc/jammy-updates,jammy-security 1.75.0+dfsg0ubuntu1~bpo0-0ubuntu0.22.04 arm64
rustc/jammy 1.58.1+dfsg1~ubuntu1-0ubuntu2 arm64
For rust two versions (1.75 and 1.58) are available for ARM64.
To install a specific version, use e.g.
apt update && apt install -y rustc=1.58
AI may be making your code worse (StackOverflow podcast)
- Code churn is reduced by use of AI (less code is being replaced)
- AI often suggests code that already exists. This leads to more duplicate code
- Human dev’s reuse code (move code); AI often only suggests adding code
- Does adding the project code to the context help? Maybe (no successful precedent yet).
