Very good, enjoyed that, was very clear and easy to follow. For anyone who's hungry for more I recommend the Rust Book Second Edition (not finished yet) https://rust-lang.github.io/book/second-edition/index.ht

Yeah I found this odd too. Rust docs say unwrap() shouldn't really be used, but through the rest of the documentation examples it's used everywhere. I suppose it's to keep the documentation simple and focused

When's the last time PHP has been used in this way? Don't people use frameworks these days such as symfony, silex and laravel etc? And then point the web server to the entry point like with any other language?

Of course. I don't know how you would even do shared hosting with nginx, as I don't think it has a .htaccess equivalent, and restarting the server for everyone else wouldn't be acceptable

Is VisualRust still active? It seems dead or moving very slowly. I know there's some commits going into the project, but their last release was over a year ago.

No, https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants Not unless you explicitly use the Unix method

This maybe a stupid question, but could we not use Bignum as a datatype to solve this? or would it be too computationally expensive?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem explains pretty well why that wouldn't work and other solutions tried

Yeah I agree, I know some who stopped bothering to ring up stores and ask if they had switches in stock and just bought something else. They've under-stocked by a large margin and I wonder how much they've lost doing that.

> The article is about how they are explicitly not letting people download those security fixes. Well... to be fair this will only affect those doing new builds, not current builds already running supported cpus. If you're installin

by jayflux 10y ago
No, afaik they have never claimed to support those cpus officially. I think up until this point it's been a "if it works it's a bonus" sort of thing

But that loses its usefulness if there's new tools every 6 months. Yes webpack gives me structure today, but there could be a new structure tomorrow. Look at Grunt and Gulp, NPM and yarn....

I noticed there's no mention of Boxes. Do we still need to know about them? Or are they going away?
407.
by jayflux 10y ago
Agree with this. I regularly have to jump onto other colleagues' machines and edit code. So I try to stay as close to vanilla key bindings as possible.

Thanks! I would absolutely love a single webpage version, that would be even better

Is it possible to make a PDF or an offline version? Sometimes i like to read these sort of things while i'm on the train etc. I struggled to get the current rust book working on my ipad on the train without signal.

True, but some of the things Crockford moans at have been fixed in ES6/ES7

Sure, I'm not saying remove version numbers as a whole, more that semver isn't needed for something like a browser. What you've described doesn't need semver specifically
413.
by jayflux 10y ago
I feel like semver works great in the right context, for example if I'm building an API/Library which other deveopers are using, it helps them to know if there's been a major version bump, breaking change or just general patc

I think the original idea of dart was to replace JavaScript, back when the language looked stale and had no future. Now that the JS community/committee have sorted themselves out and we have ES6 etc, there's not much need for dart

Surely there's a trade off, as we add more and more features to browsers, w3C specifications, add ons, JavaScript updates etc, a browser will inevitably get slower. Yes older browsers were fast, but they did little in comparison to tod

Yeah, i do find it odd that Google finance (which is used quite a bit i believe) hasn't had any life breathed into it. I'm sure its had the same design for the last decade now

Could you tell us which libraries you want don't support 3.x? Genuinely curious as i thought nearly all of the main ones were ported now

If Google (or any other company) don't know whether they should hire you after 6 interviews, I think that says more about them and their process than you.
