I came to love pattern matching so much that now when I write TypeScript I get frustrated. It is a weird balance.

So, this got me curious. Assuming a cpu heavy benchmark with no syscalls (calculate primes or something like that) I’d not really expect a major difference between OSs. I guess you have the scheduler possibly fucking things up and the memor

Whenever I used channels in Go, I regretted it at the end. Always have to look up "what happens when I do x and the channel is closed" kind of stuff. Code becomes weird with all the selects and shit. I like sync primitives and goo

Any source on the zig 1.0 thing? As far as I can tell it is not even on thr horizon.

I’ve seen a couple videos of Dave Plummer and they were fun. Gave some insight to internals of Windows etc. I even followed him on YT back then. But lately it feels like I see him all the time and there is something off with the guy. Can’t

As a side note, zig supports arbitrary width integers. I'd like more languages to support that. You can have i7, i3, i1024 or whatever you want (I guess up to some limit). Makes it a lot easier to handle packed binary files etc.

While the implementation is straightforward enough, this post clearly shows me why I don’t like Rust. So, the function accepts two values that implement Mid trait. And there is a blanket implementation for Mid that applies to anything can b

VsCode surprises me to be honest. Besides slow starts, it does not seem to be suffering from any major slowdown for me. I’d expect that thing to get bloated pretty far, really fast.

Used both a lot. I like both. Vue makes things simpler and when you get a hang of the reactivity fundementals, it is a breeze to work with. React has more 3rd part support. Larger ecosystem and much better tooling. You’ll have better editor

I’ve read the initial paragraphs of Readme and I have no idea what it does. I think a technical no buzzword summary would be good.

Is this completely in React? Just curious as this should be pretty easy to render.

Ok haven’t tested this but assuming a naive implementation of an array of 1000 items and setting completed: true in one of them by updating the array would trigger 1000 calls to the inner components. If the react compiler is used, 999 of th

The compiler is interesting. I was expecting it to analyse dependencies and create automated useMemo calls around everything. I mean write regular, readable React code someone might write manually. It does not do that, instead it creates a

We got a SOC2 cert in our bootstrapped small saas company. Then we hid the report behind Enterprise subscriptions because it takes too much time, effort and money to obtain and maintain it. We did not get certified because we wanted it, we

Oh the Facebook thing. We had an ads account manager who really did take us to dinner. Would call, ask if we needed anything etc. It was great. One day she ghosted us. I mean that, she ceased all communicated overnight. And in a month or so

I might be completely wrong as I only played with rust but the current method seems to couple any async libraries you’d like to write to the executor. Which feels wrong imo. Would it be feasible to provide async io (file, network) code in s

Instead of SQS, I recently created a basic abstraction on PG that mimics the SQS apis. The intention was to use it during development and we would simply switch to SQS later. Never did. The production code still uses PG based queue (which h

I see a lot of work being done on rust game engines / ecs crates / frameworks etc but I don’t think I’ve heard about an actual successful game launched based on the rust game dev ecosystem. Are there any good examples? Don’t get m

Nope. I give Linux serious shots at least once a year. Never sticks. The desktop environments are always shit. I even built a specific, compatible pc last february to go with linux. It now runs a headless Fedora server in my study.

I was trying out the stdout example. Could not get it to log anything. DuckDB example worked so I went digging into the source. Apparently the stdout sink is using tracing and I did not have a `RUST_LOG` env var set. Might be a good idea to

Oh I've been doing the `on conflict do update set id = EXCLUDED.id` thing for ages now. Thought the update would be no-op because nothing changed. Interesting.

The "URL.openConnection()" API has always looked out of place to me. I thought it was deprecated at some point but guess not. It feels backwards. Like you would not do "select * from tbl".execute(db).. There was somethin

As far as I can remember MongoDB did not have any dedicated block caching mechanism in its earlier releases. They basically mmap’ed the database file and argued that OS cache should do its job. Which makes sense but I guess it did not perfo

Deno was doing its own thing though. Bun came out swinging with strong Node.JS compatibility promises. I have simply replaced node with bun for most of my own work without much effort. The mental effort required is to use `bun` instead of `
