I really enjoyed Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Been recommending it to everyone that will listen. I felt it really nailed what I imagined Neuromancer would look like. E.g. the "hacking" scenes looked exactly like the 'ice' ha

>For all three HaikuOS users out there, good news, you now have access to Emacs! (In all seriousness, I should check out HaikuOS one day) That's great news!

What Emacs mode might that be? And are there more reasons it falls short, besides the autocomplete?

I really like this! Tip for on mobile, press and hold anywhere on the page to aim the katamari. Going to fire up my ps2 and play some katamari today!

Fun to see this is still around! Used this in 2016, at a big bank. I did not enjoy it, but that can largely be attributed to the way management wanted us to use it. The tests had to be written in our native language (not English) which caus

Interesting, I've been using "the other one": lsp-mode, and have been quite happy with the results. Will see how eglot has progressed and if I can slim my config a bit.

Both of those sites are useful and I'd like to add one more: I've been using TheDailyEdit[0] app (it was on the front page here not too long ago). It doesn't tell you what political spectrum the publisher is on, but it does h

Cool! Also, I really like your demo gif! Super effective and fun way to go through all the features.

This is what I used to learn Rust, in tandem with The Book. I would read a chapter of The Book, then do a chapter of Herbert's Roguelike Tutorial. Very well written and fun material, that guides you deep into a tricky space with very l

I think it's worth making the distinction between Maven as a build tool and Maven as a package manager, because the latter I think does work quite well. I've had enough maven for a lifetime. Too much time spent fiddling with set

I share this sentiment, it's kind of a bummer. I ran into this non-stop in enterprise Java/C# development environments, more specifically in developers who are not "classically schooled" (i.e. bootcampers). Fact of the

There seem to be a lot of long running Rust job openings in the cryptocurrency space. Maybe those positions are always open because nobody wants to work there? You asked for speculation :)

Amazon did a nice write-up this year related to your comment : "Sustainability with Rust"[1]. The cost savings are there, both for a tiny startup, like you calculated, but also for giant companies with 1000+ instances. [1] https:

This is great, it looks like it does a lot already and I really like the plugin system. I think you should definitely get the documentation written up. One thing, the "Walkthrough" video in your README is unwatchable, because it d

You're right that with regards to memory management, using Java over Rust doesn't make me any more nervous. The things I really miss are at the type level. Small things like the compiler forcing you to be explicit about mutability

I'm surprised to see multiple people mentioning pay cuts. In the Stackoverflow Annual Developer survey[1] I see Rust developers consistently being among the highest paid in the industry. [1] https://insights.stackoverflow.c

I saw Ceephax playing at one of the weekenders, there was a small shuttle bus ride to a beach, and everybody danced in the sand. Lot of surprised locals looking at this crowd of strange people raving in the middle of the day. A ton of fun a

A few months back I started a feature in an Elm project. I did a few hours of programming and then stopped and forgot about it for two months. When I came back to it I couldn't remember what I was building, and the git branch name wasn

Fun note, almost all of it is written in Haskell. If I remember correctly they've also done a bunch of stuff that helps Godot, or at least something to do with the Haskell bindings. Very accessible guys, I once asked a question on the

I came here to post this. Have it on copy. It's the first thing that came to mind when I saw "tracker" and to be honest I didn't even know it was done in renoise. I know a lot of chiptune music on gameboys is made with t

In general clojure can be a very terse language. A lot of mileage per line of code, so to speak.

I concur, for me the journey was: Java -> Clojure -> Haskell -> Rust. Each language introduced concepts that made it easier to learn the next. So far I've had jobs in all of those languages except for Rust, but that time wil
