After one becomes wealthy, social media easily becomes the only place where anyone says no to them. When everyone who surrounds you tells you "you're absolutely right, let me get that for you", you atrophy the muscle that

Is there any package manager incapable of working offline?

Even side stepping that tokio no longer pulls multiple packages, it used to be split into multiple packages, in the same way that KDE in Rust would be hundreds of packages. Rust projects tend to take their project and split it into many s

Don't do this. Use a package manager that let's you specify a specific version to pin against. Vendoring side steps most automated tooling that can warn you about vulnerabilities. Vendoring is a signal that your tooling is insuffi

Social media being bad is partly because of shady business practices, and partly because a lot of people suck (in different ways, at different times, including us). Having said that all of that, have you tried mastodon?

Hey! It also had a barely working physics engine. Then again the dinosaurs were physics entities, so maybe you already mentioned it. :)

I found that I would have enjoyed the movie a bit more if I hadn't read the book, but it was still a solid 8/10. I'm really glad that a movie like this did well in opening weekend.

You can look at the discussions in any of the language RFCs to see that increased complexity is one of the recurring themes that get brought up. RFCs themselves have a "how do we teach this?" section, that IMO makes or break a pro

I think there is: a schism. Another language, inspired, intelligible and interoperable with Rust, but with other goals, likely ease of use or surface simplicity. In my mind it would be pretty much the same as Rust, but whenever a compile er

I used to hate semicolons. Then I started working in parser recovery for rustc. I now love semicolons. Removing redundancy from syntax should be a non-goal, an anti-goal even. The more redundancy there is, the higher the likelihood of makin

rustc does exactly that keeping the indent level of every unbalanced curly brace. It works OK, but it isn't perfect by any stretch. More heuristics are needed.

If anything, Unicode should have had more disambiguated characters. Han unification was a mistake, and lower case dotted Turkish i and upper case dotless Turkish I should exist so that toUpper and toLower didn't need to know/gue

If you define success for Rust as "everything is written in Rust", then Rust will never be successful. The project also doesn't pursue success in those terms, so it is like complaining about how bad a salmon is at climbing tr
