Except here, there is static before the content appears on the channel. Which is not the same as stumbling upon an empty channel. Very old TV's did not have memorized channels, and so you had to tune to find the next channel, which wou

Here is my guess. The author is most likely younger than you and I. And has never experienced the instant response of analog.

Or they were actually asking for time to officially work on it. Thinking their superior must have a good view of the big picture. Waiting confirmation that their idea made sense in the grand scheme of things.

I have a personal vendetta against almost all modern UIs, coffee machine and printers included, like the sibling comment joked about. The lag on key/touch presses. The stupid and overcomplication of the controls. The simple made diffic

Indeed. A way to communicate, reduce mistakes, all the while; hopefully; without restricting the task at hand. Basically, the opposite of a modern microwave.

In my experience, applying the same mindset and efforts to interfaces for which the principal user is not a developer also yield similar benefits. Good interfaces are retroactively obvious. Not like my modern microwave.

The only way I know to manage python dependencies is Bazel as the build system, and implementing a custom set of rules that download and build all python dependencies. The download is done in a git repo. All magically missing libs must be a

The short answer is that an async function in rust (and C++ and C#) is rewritten by the compiler to become a state machine (a struct + an enum to discriminate the current state + an union store local variables). You could do it by hand, th

Indeed I was merely describing how it behaves within the context of future + ioloop with tokio. I didn't take a stance on future vs actor. In Rust my instinct tells me the difference between actor and future is negligible. Because it c

I am responding to the very last point about dropping a future and the resource usage. Let's assume a future that implements reading from a network socket. And the file descriptor (fd) was already passed to epoll/select (I am igno

The tool "entr" (and similar like "cargo watch") are so useful there. Save the file and it runs the command. For extra credit I mapped shift-enter to save the current file in my editor.

I am a bit dyslexic and even though I am an avid vim user, I do often rely on copy paste to avoid silly typos that cost so much time for me to fix. Because I cannot even see the typo, even in the compiler output!

Same, I don't mind carrying a big machine. Problem is most have a numpad, which shifts the keyboard and touch pad to the left. Being right handed, I find this very annoying.

Light and radio waves are the same physical phenomenon. The difference is the frequency. Light is much much higher frequency than radio. Nuclear radiation are even higher frequency. Maximum throughput with maximum damage!

What a refreshingly clean, quick to load website. I would have done without the email popup. But I can forgive that. If I trust the footer, the server is solar powered in Barcelona.

You can refactor all you want, but you maintain API compatibility. Otherwise it is a full rewrite. Design changes are most often more rewrite than refactor.

And to avoid mishaps, you can also set the phone side to be send only. Do remember that as you delete photos on your phone to save space, it will delete them on the PC. You would need the PC side to move the photos to a different directory

I personally still use and pay for Google photo. Mostly because I am lazy finding a better solution. As google photo UI is becoming worse overtime, I wouldn't mind an alternative though.

+1 syncthing too. Over the years it has gotten rock solid for me. I use it between all my machines and phone. With various 1 to many, 1 to 1 and one way or two way sync. One of my machine is always on and is backuped to the cloud everyday.

In my experience a decent way to solve this is by two layers of abstractions. I will take any better design ideas! First layer gives you safe access to the hardware registers. For example, ensure atomic/synchronized access, forbid inva

I have some complaints about UUIDs. Why not just combining time + random number without the ceremony of UUID versioning. And for when locality doesn't matter, just use a 128bit random number directly. And in my experience most people s

You pay for not having to manage anything yourself or hire somebody dedicated to do so. How much is that worth?

That's pretty good indeed! I don't like the keyboard layout (I want my delete key!). But that's a minor inconvenience compared to how good the machine appears to run Linux.
