What's funny is that DRY was first popularised in the Pragmatic Programmer[0] book, and "coincidental" duplication is explicitly addressed right there on page 34, "not all code duplication is knowledge duplication... the

On the shell, it is all the other way around, so to use command substitution it is like this: f $(g x) To pass the output of g x to f.

This is frameworks vs libraries. In the first case the framework is calling the code with config and hooks to change behaviour. In the second case there are common library functions called from completely separate “application” code.

A common issue is trying to store a variable sized value in fixed size storage, with no test that the value fits!

I think this would be fine, as long as the CSV layer was still parsable using the RFC 4180, then you could still use a normal CSV parser to parse the CSV layer and a normal JSON parser to parse the JSON layer. My worry with your example is

Have to say I’ve not been following this in any detail, but it was also disabled in 1.52.1, has it been re-enabled again in the meantime? https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/05/10/Rust-1.52.1.html

Maybe not exactly House style, but yes. Think one or two paragraph questions, multiple choice answers, a minute or two per question, for multi-hour exams. At least the certifications are recognised, so you can pass once and apply in multipl

There isn't a massive difference between type instability vs programming against interfaces in OOP languages or using a Box<dyn T> in Rust, both add an extra indirection which has a performance impact, but depending on the situat

The difference is between working out something from scratch vs recognising something you’ve seen before. The second will be much faster, but it depends on experience, not talent.

Have to day, mixing async and CPU intensive code (I’m using Rust because it is good at CPU intensive code!) has been a frustrating experience, with lots of noise and baggage associated with spawn_blocking to make things run well.

Usernames is a nice example. Just as a demo, we could make things simpler: Look at all the usernames in the input, keep track of all the letters you’ve seen. When you get a new name, if you’ve seen all the letters before, you might have see

I had this benchmark[0] in mind while writing the comment, though perhaps Go does well there by avoiding GC rather than having fast GC as-such? That would explain why its performance is close to the non-GC languages. [0] https://
