Are you bothered by how they only stay alive for 60s or so before being killed? Or the somewhat difficult to estimate pricing? I eventually just decided for those use cases I'd rather run a dedicated server. Pricing is easier, no lock

If you cant wait for the cool off period to expire before responding, consider you might be too worked up to make a coherent case. For one, any reasonable interpreter of the English language would understand that sentiment was being attribu

It's the Rust foundation that considers it's users dumb and little, unable to think for themselves and determine which resources are worth using. How could you in good faith read what I said and come away thinking I support contro

You're arguing one of them should have exclusive right to use the word "mumble" in reference to software related to vocal communication?

Conflating product names with legal company names does nothing to help the discussion. The fact of the matter is I can have a business called https://learnjavascript.online/ but not one called https://learnrust.o

I don't think they do need technical credibility to "prove" themselves as a fork. If it were the case that all was well in Zion and nobody had any desire to leave Rust, then sure this would need to make a compelling argument

False dichotomy. It's a step forward toward a better experience for all who want to write systems code with strict ownership semantics. It may be acting as a negotiation tactic now, but it's existence is only possible as a result

TS allows terms to depend on terms (normal JS functions), types to depend on terms (typeof operator, polymorphism, etc.), and types to depend on types (mapped types, inferred types, etc.), but not terms to depend on types. Macros could help

Well that's a whole lot of talk with 0 concrete code examples... One interesting thing, the author mentions VS Code as abolishing the need for Hungarian notation, which is funny - the entire VS Code codebase in written in Hungarian.

Personally I couldn't even get it to draw me a regular pentagon in CSS. It was happy to draw hexagons and call them pentagons. It was even happy to go back and fix its mistakes when I informed it that it was making hexagons, not pentag

I agree it sucks, but iOS's service worker policy gave me no other option. Every other browser is just fine having the timeout running in the background, and I in fact have both codepaths running simultaneously so any other browser can

Not ideal, but fairly easy to hand roll this with the new web push notification support. I support it as a component of a site I'm working on. The main annoying part is iOS PWA's kill their service workers when off screen even whe

Not sure why the downvotes, this is a reasonable question. (As evidenced by all the other answers...) The simple answer is that you don't encode device specific intent in the URI, you put in in style sheets where it belongs.

The linked law has to do with cookies (search the text), and nobody said we were talking about GDPR. Europe has a long history of awful legislation in this space, GDPR is just the latest incarnation.

Right? They pretend to have a dev server with live reload, but it's about the worst implementation of such I've seen. Protip is to wrap it within some watchers and cleaners of your own: while true; do pkill -f miniflare-dist

And if they’re scraping using “serverless” compute? It’s distributed, but could be used without “meaning” to attack. That seems to be what happened to Archive (they said AWS, could be ECS or Lambda, idk). FWIW this thread inspired me to imp

You understand a central tenant of Rust is forbidding shared ownership?

by jakear 3y ago
How ironic that Rust should have the most problems arising as a result of shared ownership. Perhaps they should consider a model where the entity has a single logical owner and requests to change its state are made by passing messages to th
