To me, the correct solution to the problem of being tied to one ecosystem crate for utility features like serialization or logging is reflection / comptime. The problem is not the orphan rule, it’s that Rust needs reflection a lot more

If it’s just a Starbucks link every time I search for “coffee shop”, that’s fine. The one I hate is when Google Maps inserts ads into the directions it gives me. “Continue straight for 0.5 miles” “Continue straight, past the Pizza Hut, for

The big thing for me was switching off LLM autocomplete. I found myself typing a few characters then hovering my finger over Tab while I waited for it to catch up, instead of just typing a line I already knew how to write. So now I only use

B2 has serious performance problems on the US West Coast (and possibly other regions too) in the evenings. Between the hours of around 5 pm to 2am, somewhere between 1% and 5% of requests transfer at <= 1% speed. This is bad because it’s

Yes, because they would have to. Why start a pharma company for a disease that doesn’t exist? How else would you get people to invest in a company providing something people don’t want unless you have a plan to make them want it?

I think we’re at the point where leasing EVs still makes the most sense. You don’t have to worry about massive price drops or battery degradation, plus it keeps you abreast of the rapid changes in technology. It was only recently that the i

For me it’s Ctrl + C / V. I will frequently hit Ctrl + C when I want to paste, and some software helpfully copies a blank line to the clipboard if nothing is selected, thus erasing whatever I copied.

I think it can make sense for user-facing services. I host my web and database servers with AWS because unmanaged DBs can be a PITA, Amazon is peered with basically everyone, AWS is way more generous with network speeds than many dedicated

The government raised taxes, consumers paid the costs, and companies will take the spoils. I don’t think this is what people voting MAGA intended, but will they realize that they got screwed?

I think “Make America Great Again” was effective because it means whatever the person hearing it wants it to mean, and there’s no obvious metric by which to measure its success. The policies on the left tend to have a lot more nuance, which

But if you already know how to 3D model manually, like the author does, why would you spend all that time trying to fix the AI output? For users capable of creating such outputs themselves, the time saving is the point. If you don’t know ho

I think an issue hindering Rust adoption is ecosystem immaturity. So many crates are pre-1.0, or just basic wrappers around a C library. There are good crates for core things like cryptography, but finding something production-ready for som
