Interestingly it also seems to mix your content with content your friends tend to view. Or at least it does so tentatively, to see if you share the same interest. When I friended a pilot friend of mine on TikTok, I immediately started see

I'm having trouble parsing what you wrote. You say that you don't need to have unquestionable authority to use this style of language and then proceed to give an example of an unquestionable authority using this style of language.

Is this basically an Effect System? Either way I'm excited to be able to generalize over asyncness. *EDIT*: I now see that they explicitly address this question in the post: > The short answer is: kind of, but not really. "Eff

I'm not well versed in queuing theory, but I would assume that's rather the point. The existence of an unboundedly growing queue implies an inability to keep up with demand, so someone has to lose. The most shameless queue jumpe

Because there’s no async fn on traits yet, almost all “async” traits are returning Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output=T>>> under the hood. Same principle also applies if you’re trying to put a future in a struct (to create a named

As someone with extensive experience with Rust and a teensy bit of experience in Go I can tell you that I adore Rust for every use case I’ve tried it out for *except* for network services. It works ok for low level proxies and stuff like th

1. Don't use the `async` ecosystem. 2. Prefer dynamic dispatch to monomorphization (i.e., use fewer generics). 3. Don't use proc macros (i.e., don't depend on the `syn` crate, even transitively). Easy to say; hard to put into

They do containerize but it’s not enough. You still need the right drivers and CUDA stuff installed on the docker host, which can be finicky to setup. Not to mention figuring out how to get docker to actually pass the GPU to the container.

Are you boycotting operating rooms while you’re at it? I’ve never seen such an overreaction to such a non-issue before. How do people get to a state where they can unironically say things like this with a straight face?

You’re completely correct, but I think GP’s point is that we need said web developers to chase fancy new framework Flask-Native-Redux-Rust Edition™ to keep momentum going for the language as whole. Which personally I think has some merit. P

There is an answer to this. Just `.clone()`, `.to_owned()`, `Arc::new`, and `Mutex::new` like a madman. Sure it’s visual garbage. Yes it impacts the semantics of your program. Yes it wastes memory. Who gives a crap? Those four things break

Alright, then allow me to explain. Before, there were a multitude of reasons not to develop in a VM: Poor support for accelerated instructions on laptops; Slow CPUs; limited RAM; slow file-sharing between the host and guest. The M1 architec

That may be one of the effects of reducing moderation, but not necessarily the only one. It may also reduce chilling effects on good actors. Some speech may be worth sharing but may not currently be shared because of those effects.

So just ask the other party to give you a salt they generate on the spot? And/or you do so on your end? You can still get targeted for a direct attack but much less likely to end up caught in a dragnet approach.
