Why would anyone stockpile emergency stuff, if in case they are needed, they will be called "profiteers" and taken advantage off? People that rush buy this stuff to make a profit, are actually helpful in promptly preserving the li

The parent-parent comment was "I want an escape hatch in the language" and then the argument for it is "someone else used an escape hatch, and now I need an escape hatch". :D

Not it didn't. Rust error handling is glorious comparing to exceptions. Rust community is just full of perfectionist and we love to argue endlessly about how to improve stuff even more, which is very refreshing. In many other PLs peopl

If there is a lot of connections actually running transactions, then I'd expect the db will become overwhelmed due to number of transaction, and per-connection overhead is not going to be a problem. How I understood the problem is thou

It might be possible write a small proxy in Rust, that would run next to a PG instance, accepted connections using `async` and then forwarded queries using some limited size connection pool.

Thinner TP clogs the pipes less often. At least that's the explanation I heard.

This should be the top comment. It makes a lot of sense. Margin should be a property of the enclosing container, not the items in it.

This is such a nonsense being pandered by people who make money on it. You, you can absolutely "time the market". You just can't do it exclusively based on the chart. The real world is still there, and it's important, yo

For what it's worth, I used to be big on C, and grew to very dislike C++ (because it's simple insane). Rust is my language of choice for years now. IMO, Rust shares the same inner-simplicity that C has, but combined with ability

This comment is spot on. I've seen similar scenarios myself. :) 99% of articles like the above one come down to: "developers wanted to pretend there isn't some underlying data model underneath, and abstracted it away". T

C++ ecosystem is beyond recovery. It's just too vast, archaic and osified. It's much more practical at this point to learn Rust and use it for new projects when possible or keep doing whatever you did before to get you C++ project

Bad take. The advise on how to do better logging at the end are OK, but the arguments before that are quite weak.

Knowing only React, or one programming language doesn't make you a specialist. It just means you have very little knowledge and/or experience. What's next? "if statement developer"? Software engineering as a whole,

I am big on Rust, and I enjoyed using Scala at work in the past. Scala has a more elaborated type system, and everything is heap-allocated so some stuff is easier. On the other hand... JVM is often a PITA, and debugging blowing up memory is

I would take Go over Python, any day. It is productive, especially if your program is a relatively typical network service: get request, poke here and there, transform this into that, return a result. It looses steam when the code is abstra

With Rust you can also convert to `Vec<T>` where T is either `u8` or `u16` and use generics to work on any. ️ And there are probably handful of libraries that would help with all that too. Also - whatever convenient functionality you
