If I was just working in a SaaS world then maybe static linking isn't a big deal, but I ship and support software across 4 different versions of glibc, libstdc++, and any runtimes for various languages ( Java, python, php, ...). Also I

Nothing in that list makes me think Rust won't ever be a good language for game programming. It reads more like these are the current pain points that need to be addressed, and even with that list there are no real showstoppers there.

I will have to give that a try. Its amazing how much hot reloading speeds up development.

Two big benefits are the static typing and compilation so a I get a lot of benefit from catching errors early, and the second big benefit is static linking. Other languages give you that ( namely Go ), but I found the correctness checking f

My current project is an interface to get detailed application performance statistics off a clustered system. So it connects to a local database and has a configurable list of system checks that it can run. Then it has a defined API that is

I have fully switched over to Rust to do my web backend's. I use Nickel.rs and it has worked great. The code is very succinct and fast. The only downside I have found to this is that there is no "Hot Reload" which I had with

I like the backpack better as I can bring it with me on the last 100 ft and into my building where I shower and change, where if its pannier's I either need a backpack inside of it, or I need to carry my stuff around. Also people steal

I know its not an option for everyone, but a good cyclecross bike will do wonders for that kind of commute. I picked up a hybrid bike and got a set of tires with some tread on them and I can now handle gravel fairly well, and still get good

I applaude this effort. I think many people discount how capable they are of making the switch to commuting via bike to work. Almost any commute less then 10 miles can easily be done via bike, and making a "safe" route to connect

no $119 would buy him one year of updates, and he could choose not to update in the future if he didn't want to. If he chose to update on a regular basis, then he would still need to pay $119 every year

Its not really new, and its not really powerful. From what I can see all this does is give you an estimate based on the square footage of your rooftop. There is a lot more that goes into a real estimate then how big your roof is, namely how

Also you can pipe from one database into another, you just need to have a common format (SQL), or be able to convert to a common format. every database I know has a tool which will take text from stdin and can return text on stdout.

Which is funny because when I was younger I preferred Hotel's, but now that I have some time traveling I much prefer a non chain, roll of the dice AirBnB room to any hotel. Spending night after night in a soulless hotel room is so drai

I don't understand the request for freelancers to have resumes. I have always pushed back and attempted to provide the company with a statement of work about what I would do for them. I understand you want to make sure I am qualified,

I know its an old article, but knowing the current situation at Digg's replacement Reddit, I wonder if Digg can do to Reddit what Reddit did to Digg. It wouldn't be far fetched to see the kind of mass exodus from Reddit that would

Even though its dynamically linked the GPL still applies. The LGPL is designed to allow you to link to the software without requiring you to use the GPL license. Also since you have made your binary available you are required to make the so

So one thing GitLab and others don't offer that Google can is tight integration with Deployment. Yeah we have all used the CI servers to do a form of Continous Delivery, but can google and amazon surpass those offerings by giving a tig

rust code can incorporate assembly just like C can and low-level rust should be just as fast as low level C so it sounds like rust will be a great replacement to write production-quality codecs

yeah but no mention of the schematics for the circuit boards, or the existing designs of the enclosure. If you look at the ergodox they ship the gerbers for the circuit board as well as STL files for the enclosure.

I love that someone is paying more attention to the keyboard space as switching to an Ergodox is the best thing I have ever done, but I don't like this one. I wish them the best of luck, but the lack of full open source ( hardware and

I like the idea, but I would really like to see a bank or another finical institution offer some services that I can use as a modern introduction to banking for my kids. When I was a kid I had a savings account, and a savings book that I to

APL and co got becoming popular wrong. As great as a singular developer might be they will never make the comunalative progress that a much larger number of acceptable developers will make. The software ecosystem evoloved so rapidly around

It sounds like you both have this ideal of quality that theoretical quality counts for something, even expressed quality doesn't really matter that much if you can't bring _quantity_ to bear.

by dkhenry 11y ago
I think he came to the wrong conclusion. We shouldn't be looking at APL or J to see what they did right ( surprisingly little ) we should be focusing on how they failed and making sure we don't fail the same way. Yeah an APL maste

I have been issuing tests to candidates for a long time now and I have used a plethora of methods to do it. What has worked the best for me was a home rolled solution of having a server they must ssh into and then having a few bash scripts

I have been using keybr.com since I ordered my Ergodox and its been awesome, I have even made the top ten a few times. My typing speed have gone from 40wpm to 110wpm and you really notice it when programming or emailing or IM's with co

I started with keybr.com just to learn touch typing, however I quickly found that you can upload your own words, I got my hands on some source code and I was off to the races.

I can not agree with this advice. There are still a few area's where its worth it to have a trained professional, and their fee's are well worth it. I have a wife and three kids, I will not trust their future to some random page o
