Not ready to outright delete Linkedin, but it was the noisiest mobile app on my phone. Luckily the mobile site works decently, so it has been assigned to a firefox tab for the foreseeable future.

Eh, seems like a stretch to me. At the end of the day making usable UIs is hard, and any decent guideline that a non-visual person like me can follow is a good thing. My thanks goes out to all the designers and UI engineers that have put th

I believe that's because Alacritty focused on optimizing for throughput instead of latency. That is it will take less time to render a large chunk of output, such as running yes.

You can't just use a windows restore disk to get a new windows installation. When installed, it will ask you for your license key, and will not function fully until you have done so. The only thing this guy was doing was making it so c

I'd be terrified about #4 with any laptop that I use. I run Fedora on an XPS 13. I've never run into #1 or #2. I hit super+L by habit before closing the screen so I don't know about #3, but closing it while typing this commen

Ultra portability. And there shouldn't be any startup scripts, however, the binary does need to be compiled for the target platform. I'm pretty sure the use case of this is more akin to an electron replacement, and not a productio

Are you talking about statically linking the database itself? Seems like it'd be better to keep the database separate from the binary, unless you're working with a read-only database. For static-linking the sqlite3 library, if you

Putting the string in the binary is really only useful for trying to do ultra-portable deployments like this imo. The overhead of copying the string into memory is pretty meaningless in the use case where you only expect a single, home-desk

To be fair, this sample of code includes macro usage (every function call that ends in an exclamation point is actually a macro). The syntax inside the macros is different from normal, legal rust syntax. Still, I agree that Rust's synt

I love me some akka. Actix would be the actual rust comparison, since it's also an actor system being leveraged to provide web features. You have to dig into Tokio/futures to get access to streams, which atm is still not at 1.0.

Doesn't this just make the argument that having kids is bad for them? That doesn't affect whether or not it has a positive impact on the lives of the couple. Also, this assumes that you ascribe to the anti-natalism viewpoint, whic

This is a well written article, and I absolutely agree with the idea that profiling and analysis is more important than language choice in order to eke out performance wins. That being said, some of these optimization techniques completely

Huh. That's incredibly simple and seems pretty effective. Of course, the sponsored sites could try to track user preferences themselves by fingerprinting Firefox visitors across distinct sites, but at least Firefox does have some anti-

I did this before when using ripgrep, and accidentally created a several hundred GB file. Now ripgrep checks if this is the case and handles it gracefully: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/pull/310

Using an HTTP based search engine should be explicitly opt-in, imo. Moving it to https by default seems like the right choice for non-technical users.

The only requirement to make macros work in a statically typed environment is to create a suitable type to represent the source code, and provide the operations to transform the said type. For instance, Rust has a macro system that's p

I on Fedora and the latest version is available via dnf. But still I use nightly, and all I had to do to j install it was untar it into my opt directory and symlink the binary.
