Besides any modern negatives, there are historical ones that need preservation (my grandfather-in-law's WW2 negatives for example). We've been meaning to digitize them but time is always an issue.

I feel like Mint has reverted in functionality. It used to be that I rarely corrected and auto-categorization and now I feel like I do it with 1out out of 10 line items. The Flash issue is also terrible. For more challenging but important

This is a sad day for Rust. Situations can spiral out of control. Who started it? Who escalated it? You can't really define these because communication is sloppy and difficult, especially when there are cultural and language barriers

I'd go the opposite and say that Rust is a competitive edge for Firefox to beat other browsers, architecturally. There were things they tried and failed many times to do to improve Firefox's performance and it wasn't until R

I can't believe their leadership de-prioritized the port until the last minute when they have an ecosystem on top of them that also has to port. I feel that was irresponsible. The project lead said to not push `b""` on people

Another reason the complaint doesn't make sense is that the author then praises Rust which is more similar to Python 3 than 2.

Some of the highlighted error crates will include a full backtrace if you are using nightly rust. Not sure when it will hit stable.

Is it employing anonymous enums? They come up for helping errors in the Rust community from time to time. The main dropback I see on relying on them is that they make it easy to accidentally expose your implementation details as part of y

I think the interest in dynamic errors (which is what most of the error libraries deal with) comes from (1) people learning Rust and trying to get them to do something besides `unwrap`, (2) people prototyping and not wanting to use `unwrap`

Rust brings some great features to the table but the combination of them opens up a new level of challenges to deal with which is why there is so much talk in the community on error handling libraries. Some of the competing needs that need

Some factors for this - When prototyping, deferring worrying about exact error types is helpful - In applications, you aggregate so many types of errors, sometimes it is easier just to dynamically accept any.

-sys are raw wrappers around C code so wouldn't provide much benefit for them to be exposed as dynlibs. And crates are the equivelant of python, node, go, etc packages. That they are also a compilation unit is, I believe, an implementa

The challenge with async code is that the state across yield points is put into a struct and if a reference to a stack variable is used across yield points, then that struct is self-referential which Rust can't reason about (yet?). I

Another reason I'd prefer things to be rewritten in Rust rather than using bindings is that calling out to external build systems introduces its own set of problems. I've run into the most problems with C-based dependencies (slow
