whether it's rare depends on the wine. most champagne has added sugar before fermentation. search for "brut nature" which for cava, champagne and the like means it's only the sugar in the grapes themselves.

But then, babel translation isn't typically a continuous operation.

any idea why?

You can solve that with STUN which is how WebRTC does it. Each end sends a STUN packet to get the NAT statefullness going. Granted, it requires transferring of ICE connection candidates out of band (via the horrors of SDP)

What do you mean that all interactions between components are asynchronous? I've built and am maintaining a rather large chrome extension for video recording using xstream/cyclejs. I find that the thing xstream get exactly right i

It's a complete mess. I tried to switch from macOS to Linux Ubuntu running wayland gnome. HiDPI is sort of ish there. Spotify definitely isn't and weird stuff going on in other apps too. The touch pad is not even remotely comparab

Control is another reason. You relinquish control the more moving parts there are. If you ever looked into the tokio stack you realise there are a Lot Of Stuff going on. Which doesn't mean it's bad. I'm excited about tokio a

And also the ABI compatibility for C interop is harder without a "classic" stack.

This seems like a good idea. If a package has more than x downloads or y dependencies, then require 2fa for publishing it.

A trait is like an interface. A struct implementing a trait means it takes on the methods of that interface (but there's more to it, because a trait can have default implementations of of the trait methods). If you want to express some

I love rust, but the standard libraries are nowhere near the same abstraction level of nodejs. All services I've deployed built on rust pulls in a kitchen sink of deps. Granted. I get a static binary as my end result, so maybe it'

Treating errors as values might be the best shift I've done as a programmer in later years. In fact, after learning it in rust, I took it with me back to typescript. I can only recommend trying it. It's magical!

Exactly. GDPR is around the corner and any private data without explicit consent to be targeted for marketing is going to be useless at best, a liability at worst. Explicit consent means the company must be able to prove the user consciousl

You mean this thread? https://github.com/promises-aplus/promises-spec/issues/94 I love reading the for-against monadic promises. It actually is educating just following the discussion.

I'm sorry you found Rust hard, but it really is a world apart from Perl. I started learning programming using assembly (Motorola 68k), and then went a different professional route (via Java and Javascript). Rust to me is back to basic

it's not any more expensive than allocating a new object in Javascript. possibly less. if you want immutable models, allocation will most likely happen on mutation.

I remember reading this a while back. I think the SON specification could tighten up a few more things, like number ranges and further string escaping problems. http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php

Of the vegetables in the supermarket, the ecological / organic have the most packaging. I find it ironic that if I want to use reusable bags to buy greens, I am pretty much forced to go non-organic.

In the 1700s castratis were quite popular throughout Europe. Does that mean they had low sperm count then, or was it just something people liked? I really don't believe you can explain cultural phenomenon through medical science.
