I know it's trollish, but as person using C++ I have to do it: Writing software using C++ in 2016 is an anti-pattern.

So, is ADD/ADHD actually a real thing, or is it just part of a trend to make everything out of social norm "a condition". I mean naively speaking, we didn't evolve to sit in classrooms and read books, grow up and sit in

Let me see... instead of having to capitalize every single usage of a given symbol, I can just prefix it's defintion once with `pub`? Yeap, I rather do that. Instead of replacing all instances to lower case, I can just remove the `pub`

Oh. Go love-hate relationship post. My turn. So I really like channels and coroutines built into language and used everywhere: it makes some patterns compose nicely and language very productive. But just as in the article - some of Golang c

Rust is particularly good at it. It makes bugs finding easier as language forces good habits and eliminates whole classes of bugs, tests are easy to add and check, ecosystem has established ways of dealing with CIs, reviews, good autoformat

Yes, I'm aware of it, though not as in-depth as I'd like to. AFAIK, it was a bit unfinished yet eg. not having any congestion control story, which is very important. But yeah... it's what what HTTP2 probably should have been

Agreed about possibility of over-ramp on good links. But on wireless packets drops can be quite frequent and unrelated to reaching bandwidth limit.

by dpc_pw 10y ago
I did not do any real tests and I might be completely wrong etc. but it seems to me that http2 is going to perform poorly over wireless links like 3g. With http1 one had N tcp connections, and with the way tcp slowly increases the bandwidth

That should tell you something when many new programming languages pick Rust for their implementation.

Poor analogy. Virtual land is unlimited. You can get your servers quite fast if you need to. Plus being a commodity, prices race to the bottom, and if designed right, you can swap you "landlord" rather easily - move your dockers e

You need bluetooth with AptX audio codec support. Most phones have it, but most cars don't (because cars are lagging with technology). I'm using separate bluetooth dongle powered from the lighter socket and plugged into car RCA po

Would it be possible to use it for syncing data? I mean I have deduplicated data, and then I generate more backups, and would like to sync new chunks&remove old chunks from the c14 backup.

Of course not. This time it's different.

Rust can, somewhat is already and ultimately will beat C on performance, due to way better guarantees on pointer non-aliasing. See eg. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/146159/is-fortran-faster-... Other than tha

Part of the reason I avoid Python software like a plague. The flaw of Go is not reporting unhandled errors at compile time (solved by 3rd party checkers), and no convenient mechanism to escalate errors upwards. Both somewhat fixed in Rust b

The whole "bug-density by language" thing is just pointless for sooo many reasons. The first one being the lower-level statically typed languages are used to write more complex, widely used and mission-critical software. The secon

I was checking out Urbit before, and it's an amazing idea. I can highly recommend anyone investigating it a little, just to get a notion how things could be. I need to check the current progress. I hope the previous "invitation&#x

Google did not take Java code. It wrote it's own software with exactly same API. Any API that is "in the open" is free to be emulated. Especially Open Source ones! What this mean for open source software is that if I write a

For users, I think it's better to ask to install rustup from rustup.sh, and then just `cargo install wscat`.

Piggybacking on the thread. I am a person that would like to provide Open Source for personal use, non-profits and other Open Source projects, but I'd like to force commercial institutions to pay me some money or give back to community
