Programming is secondary to my primary duties and only a means for me to get other things done. I'm in constant tension between using Python and Rust. With Python I can get things up and going very quickly with little boilerplate, but

FWIW, it appears it's a free read for those of us who have never visited before. It's a very thought-provoking article and one that deserves more time than just might lunch break to ponder. In particular, this quote at the end of

I've actually been hearing ads for Vrbo on a lot of the podcasts I listen to, so that comes to mind immediately for me. Searching for airbnb alternatives seems to suggest that there are a number of options out there.

Apparently our sensitivity to bitterness decreases as we age. It explains kids' aversion to cruciferous vegetables and coffee, among others, although I think most of us grow to appreciate those things by our twenties at least.

You can check out a number of strategies for reducing rust binary size here: https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust I don't think he mentions it, and I doubt it's relevant in your Hello World example, b

I can't remember the source anymore, but I've heard that air resistance becomes a significant factor above roughly 16kph (~6min/mile).

I wish there were equivalent books to Zero 2 Production for other ecosystems. I'm working on a project with Sveltekit project right now, and a major frustration for me is the proliferation of choices that come from working in the TS&#x

It's possible to specify no alias in C with the `restrict` keyword, but it isn't a widely used feature. With Rust, a whole bunch of bugs related to it were found and fixed in LLVM, so I think you're correct that it is the mos

I suspect there are two factors at play: first, there are a lot of drive-by rust critics who spout of stuff they've read that plainly haven't really tried using rust themselves; second, I suspect that people want others to underst

Would a normal async task block indefinitely like that though? Under non-contrived circumstances, I can see the scheduler becoming starved of threads where all the tasks are blocked, but presumably they will stop being blocked eventually, w

It strikes me that my cat probably views my intelligence pretty close to how you describe a Myna bird. The full sum of my mental energy is spent mimicking cat conversations while clearly not understanding it. I'm pretty good at doing m

Not necessarily. Sentience may well be a lot more simple than we understand, and as a species we haven't really been very good at recognizing it in others.

Isn't that a bit different from it not being safe, though? Ill-advised perhaps, but not necessary unsafe.

FWIW, these are items that they are working to improve with things like keyword generics and defining a clearer async api so that it will be possible to swap out executors in the future.

They are probably referring to the introduction of scoped threads last year.

Do I mention going on a trip with my husband, or my spouse? That's what I mean about being open about my sexuality. Most people don't give that sort of thing a second thought.

In the FOSDEM presentation about Rust coreutils, they mentioned that security concerns were not a motivating factor for the rewrite - the C implementation has had only 17 CVEs since 2003. https://fosdem.org/2023/schedul

As a gay man, I'm not especially concerned about the hammer factory being unwelcoming, but I'd still rather work for the one that has a non-discrimination policy and where I see employees are open about their sexuality.

You don't even need a smart pointer: `let bar = Box::leak(foo);`

It's not exactly what you are talking about, but tokio is kind of doing this - hyper, tonic, tower, tracing etc. and then all packaged together in axum.

Rust for Rustaceans is a good book that covers some of this, but is definitely not recommended for beginner Rust users.

The shipper can still specify signature required for those higher value items, but it does come at a slightly higher cost.

I deal with logistics at the small company I work for, and deal with UPS all the time and am actually thrilled with them. Good rates certainly help, but the customer service (at least for business customers) has been far better than Fedex,

I think Hawaii was historically the largest producer of pineapple in the US, which may explain the association.

You have things a bit backwards. The try operator was not conceived until after sum types and traits were already stable parts of the language. The addition was simple, didn't really alter the language in a meaningful way and is almost

I think it's more than just about competition. If the whole point of a subreddit is to critique each other's work and discuss process etc., someone coming in with AI-generated art isn't going to further those goals, and the r

For rust, it is probably the try (?) operator. Fundamentally, it's just syntax sugar for a match statement with an early return in the Error or None cases, but it really improves the ergonomics of dealing with Result and Option types.

Would 8 lessons be enough to build that muscle memory though? It is pretty remarkable, though, how long muscle memory can last. I haven't played piano seriously since university except for occasionally noodling on my mom or sister&#x27
