It’s a bit of a joke, everything rust does is “blazingly fast” and has almost become a meme at this point. Though it does seem to trend towards well performing programs on the whole. I meant the rest though in a more serious manner.

It feels like we are on the cusp of finally having secure software after decades of C and C++ failing at every step. I for one welcome our new blazingly fast coreutils and wait expecting a blazingly fast kernel to go right along with the fi

Been hoping someone would make this, looks great! I guess I’m next hoping someone gets it working using jtag/swd debug probes for embedded targets :)

This is kind of like the PCB pricing story, they could be priced competitively but that's not how the market in the US for domestic PCB manufacturing has been setup. It's been setup to target things that must be made here, wh

PCBs would need about 400-1000% tariffs to allow us domestic manufacturers to be competitive with their current pricing vs say jlcpcb. It’s that big of a difference.

Nix would let you do just this already with potential binary cache and reproducibility. I’m surprised it’s not more widely used for embedded. Maybe due to larger images? That’s a solvable problem. Maybe best of all it’s fast. Yocto is painf

Yes but how many people are employed and well paid by warhammer? How many were employed and paid by fishing? Dollars don’t vote, people do!

Its happened before to any company that focuses too hard on short term profits and gets too comfortable. Motorola GE Boeing The list goes on…

Not really, there’s two models that work. The react model and the immediate model. The whole class inherits widget hellscape is not, no loss there. That route inevitably leads to bugs that are hard to find and fix because of all the weird

Inherit is the first step to tell.

Android is going to go closed source. There's no benefit to Google when a Chinese company takes Android, guts the Google parts, and shoves it on a cheap ass phone for a market with a few billion people. Maybe longer still... I could se

A clear eyed take, Nvidia is reaping the benefits of this new rush for now.

It's more like replacing 4 C++ software people with 1-2 Rust people, because there's half as much work when you aren't constantly coding foot guns. The rest really is tin foil hat stuff. I'll believe it if I see it, unti

LLVM has spawned probably a dozen vendor supplied toolchains that you never see the source for, best of luck figuring out why your program didn't compile correctly, or adding support for something other than the tools/languages pr

I tried it once, ran out of memory debugging a template error as it blew up my terminal into a sea of jibberish.

I guess this is why their market share grows and grows, because the product is terrible and the competition is amazing. Or maybe reality is the opposite. That android phones that are supported by their vendor for maybe a year or two, have t

I wasn't aware safari allowed unfettered access to my phone and provided that to completely untrustworthy web apps and javascript. You have a source for this information? Would love to read more.

More like Apple restricts data being shared with 3rd party devices as it then loses all hope of curtailing abuse. As someone who uses Apple because of their MO is not selling everything about me to advertisers this is great news.

Qualcomm can say whatever they want, it seems unlikely Apple goes back to the hassles of working with them.

They’ve reached peak design perhaps. The milled alloy bodies do have negatives but not many.

Rust does ok at this but typically works better with some tooling to make register and bit flag manipulation look more like normal rust functions. chiptool and svd2rust do this for microcontroller code using all rust. The only asm needed is

This is a really cool set of articles, and while it’s not going to replace sqlite it’s fantastic to see the pieces needed to do sql with SQLite’s file format
