I work on network services, but generally my server's requests start on a user's computer, get to my service, get proxied to some upstream destination elsewhere on the internet, and then the responses flow back. Point is, I work w

K8s probably wouldn't make sense for a lot of startups -- it's designed to solve a lot of different problems, and you're probably not going to be interested in solving most of those. On the other hand, once you know k8s, it m

Funny, I know a decent amount about k8s these days, but I've never really used AWS. I think there's a lot of systems that try to solve the same problems: "define these services, keep them running, here's how to check if

Update: I did go through every `match` statement in my 16k-line Rust project at work, and I found a number of places where it was useful. My commit to use let-else had 10 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-).

Except the let-else version has one big disadvantage. The 'match' version has bound the error to `e`, so you can log that error or inspect it. The 'let-else' version can't read the error, so its log message can&#x27

I think HPBN and Beej's guide are perfect companions to each other. They've been the most useful resources on my journey to learn more about networking.

This is really noticeable with video chat. I never use Bluetooth when talking with my family... between the Texas - Australia lag and the Bluetooth headphones - Android phone lag, it's enough to impair conversation. Now the problem is

Hello, friendly Cloudflare employee here... there's a much simpler alternative to managing cache policy if your whole website is static. We built a tool for deploying static websites to Cloudflare [1]. It watches your Git repo for chan

I was aware that other DNS clients existed, but just using one of them would have taught me as much!

Oops, thanks so much! I forgot to check 'em. Fixed now.

Does anyone know why Axum is so much faster than the basic "spawn a new task to accept the connection and write the response" async webserver? I'm curious what they're doing under the hood. They're both using the To

That is exactly why I ended up learning bitwise Nom, and the inspiration for this blog post :)

I agree, it's surprisingly usable given how complicated parsing can be! I think the key to its ease of use, at least for me, is that you can unit test the individual parsers. You can program very iteratively, building it piece by piece

That's really neat, thanks for showing me. This looks very straightforward for parsing a straightforward format. I think Nom might be more useful as the format gets more complicated... the combinators can really save you quite a bit of

Oh, interesting. I've used Bitvec for serializing binary data, and I can see how you can use it for parsing single bits or u8s... do you have an example of how to parse, say, a 3-bit binary number with Bitvec?

Serde is good for self-describing formats like JSON, YAMK, TOML etc. At least that's what I use it for. Nom isn't necessary for them! Nom is good for protocols where you need to know the schema in advance. E.g. a binary key-value

Hi Josh! "Parse, don't validate" is one of my favourite programming blog posts of all time. Between Nom and Serde, I find it very easy to use that approach in Rust.

Interesting! The quote "sometimes, nom can be almost as fast as regex" has been removed from the Nom docs, so it's probably become faster since 2018 when that Cloudcity article was written. In fact, Nom now claims to "ou
