I know there is no flag library built-in in rust (I do quite a lot of rust as well as go). That's my whole point. It should be compared to something like https://github.com/urfave/cli . That would be a fairer comp

Are you using "clap" because the "built-in" one in rust is not good? :P

I read somewhere that a hacker called support, and when they asked the security questions, he said: "I remember just putting any gibberish in there." And voila, support person opens the door for you.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to have secure websocket (wss) without using "async". (as far as I know)

easier said than done though. I tried the second option (calling callback with a mut reference to self) but I couldn't make it all work. I think I also had issues with "async" in a closure that could not be done. Anyway, if y

Congrats on the success! I always like to see familiar faces when I randomly read HN articles :)

When I search for something, then just as I am about to click a link in the results, some panel animation scroll half the results down and I click on a completely unrelated link.

I see two different scenarios for this: Open source: in open source, I hope people want their contributions to be visible, so that they can brag about it, or put it in their resume. Business: in business, maybe some people wants to hide som

There is a new sentence in the "Things I've changed my mind on" section: > Things I now believe, which past me would've squabbled with: That phrase was not there originally when the article was posted.

I used to be an "insane weirdo", but at some point I gave up. Now, I just focus on code correctness, merge and fix the code style myself, avoiding a lot of useless back and forth. My hope is that people like to see their name when

And yet, the DMV cannot have access to a I94 form even if they already have all the information. And they also need me to print it so that they can scan it back in their computer system ! What a world we live in.

The goal of this library was not to visualize the graph, but to embed it in your own software. So if you want to use cairo to render the graph in your native app, you can use it. The renderer is really simple because the go library does all

The goal of this library was to create a clone of sourcetree algorithm that you can use, the way you want, in your own software. You can actually try `git2graph -r` (inside a repository directory) and paste the output in the renderer http:

It's been a while I haven't work on this, but if you do 'git2graph -r' within a repository folder, I believe it will generate the needed json for that repository.

Do you have permission to access HackerNews (:rolleyes:) ? You access it because it's publicly available...

I personally find it more elegant to distribute a single .exe file which contains all the html/js/css inside it, to customers. Instead of having a "messy" folder on their computer.

I use docker. And yes, it normally just take care of restarting the app whenever something goes wrong. But somehow on lightsail (only), the machine just goes completely unresponsive instead.

The difference would be: - They could have much better service - And bring down their expenses by at least half again I used lightsail, and it's a terrible service. It is very expensive (still) compared to other hosting providers. And

Just like my resume has absolutely no value... until I need it.

I did some benchmarks at some point, and for me: Go was faster, Go use (a lot) less memory, much easier to distribute the application, and I don't need generics (even though I like it)

I'm curious what's your opinion on "dudes" that are doing deepthroat ? Are they also forced to do it ?! (or maybe they genuinely enjoy it)

I would say it's probably because many (quieter) people can relate to the stories.
