It’s still useful in cases where you’ve already handled the error case. For example: if res.is_err() { // Do something return; } let res = res.unwrap();

Three levels of storage: 1. iCloud: native sync from iPhone 2. Photoprism running on my home server backed by a ZFS dataset: photos synced periodically using Photosync (excellent app by the way!) 3. Backblaze B2: cron job syncs ZFS dataset

One datapoint: I follow one of the devs on Twitter and he was - until very recently - a software engineer working on security infra at Google.

Wow, that is the kind of story you’d expect to see on SNL.

Agreed. Personally, I find that too much magic impedes my learning process. So when I was first learning Python, I was able to understand how Flask works fairly quickly. The documentation is also excellent imo.

I watched the show and thought it was pretty good. Not sure how faithful of an adaptation it is, though.

As an additional data point, I've been using Mullvad as a long-running VPN for a while now (hint: Linux ISOs) and it has been working like a charm.

“Very easily monetizable” is referring to the fact that you will easily find people who would pay to play the latest titles (in the past: modchips, emulators, etc.). This is especially true with PS5 thanks to the ongoing console shortage.

> Only if they can monetize it, which would require breaking various and sundry laws. I mean, doesn't the same restriction apply to mobile exploits? You'd be breaking some kind of law by selling the exploit off, no? In my opini

Transmission is a much better option imo, mainly because this amazing container exists: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn Of course, the idea has been used with other clients, but I have yet to fin

For most use cases, I agree. But Rust is a better option when you also need one or more of the following: a) tight control over allocations b) deterministic performance c) strong data race protection d) zero overhead C interop (e.g., proces

You’d be surprised how much effort goes into reverse engineering APIs and keeping these bots working across many sites as they get updated. I actually tried writing a simple checkout bot for Bestbuy. After a couple of hours of fiddling arou

Eh, it’s still an excellent passport. Decent social safety net, visa-free entry to a ton of countries, E-3 US work visa (the best US work visa class out there), and automatic residency in New Zealand.

Ah, should have been more explicit: you also need a working C compiler (+ make, pkg-config, etc.) and the libav development headers. As for libav itself, if prebuilt libraries are not present, the build script will fetch the source and buil

by Cyph0n 4y ago
Just to compare, here's how you would add the latest version of libav to a Rust project using Cargo: [dependencies] # Safe Rust wrapper ffmpeg-next = "5.0.3" or [dependencies] # Direct FFI bindings ffmpeg-n

Now walk us through how you would use a relatively large library in your new project (e.g., libav or boost). And then show us how to cross-compile both for another OS + arch.

I just installed it. You are presented with an option to disable telemetry once setup is complete in the form of a CLI command (fig settings telemetry.disabled true). But, for some reason, you can't disable it during setup. However, du

I’m not sure what “gnarly” things you tried to implement, but for anyone else in a similar situation, a good starter usecase for Rust is writing a command line utility. Crates to check out: - clap for command and argument parsing - anyhow f

Completely off-topic: I am 99% certain that I read a very similar comment on HN a few weeks back. Did you happen to share this anecdote on another HN thread? This is my first time experiencing HN deja vu :)

The primary alternative to achieving this is through formation of unions. But, I’d wager there is an overlap between people who are against enforcement via legislation and people who are anti-union.

I did a double-take when I saw $150B. It’s actually ¥150B, so around $1.2B.
