Sublime is mostly written in Python. Yes, there are some native elements, particularly where performance is paramount.

You can also use Route 53 for the same purpose, for a tiny premium on the standard rates for name resolution. (See latency based routing queries and geo DNS queries below, plus health checks for failover.) https://aws.amazon.com&

Datapoint: GNOME's Federico Mena Quintero is working on a file-by-file port of librsvg to Rust. Compiled Rust objects are linked with compiled C objects. Both Rust and C call functions in librsvg's C dependencies, such as Cairo. N

Use case: Never having to maintain a NAT instance (or, worse, but necessary: failover NAT instances). That's how I tend to use AWS at the moment, with IPv4. Almost every resource (except AWS services) has a public IP assigned, few have

Because each container image has only that app, and only what it requires (libraries, etc.), and each container instance runs only that app's process, and only with the very specific hardware/filesytem access that it requires.

Branding is very often an important issue to open source projects, contributors, organisations, and enthusiastic users. Emotions run high when we get things wrong, and rightly so -- people invest their lives in these worlds. It's fanta

"Not paying ISA licensing fees" is the right problem for many of the stakeholders, and few would describe it as "fun". :-) RISC-V has a solid basis in academic and industry experience, and implementations are moving quic

He's not. Far better to run a tightly configured systemd on an embedded device than thickets of shell scripts. And as he states, it makes modifying device behaviour that much simpler.

Servo makes incredibly good use of the GPU. Being able to do that, and iterate so fast on that work, is part of what Rust brings to the table. (I don't think they've swapped out the font renderer and image codecs yet, but there ar

If we ignore the unnecessary heat of the comment for a moment, there's an interesting developer experience misunderstanding in there. It may even be enough to just change the wording -- instead of "unstable", "proposed&q

The "Rust team" isn't picking winners, but they do happen to be contributing to and creating the leading solutions. There is a lot of energy around futures and tokio, very early on in the story of Rust. Sure, Rust has alrea

That's just the database, and one that we happen to know works.

You "store" it that way (as a string? no), but how are the relevant systems (database, OS, application) handling calculations with it?

Don't judge it too much by the speed of the JavaScript demo. The (host) native emulator is ridiculously fast.

Linux is already pretty comfy at 48+ cores (and more), probably especially so on a single socket.

It's really useful to see what key pieces of code look like in assembly (though easy enough to do locally), and reaaaaaaaallllly useful to see what they look like across compilers and architectures. Instead of finding (or worse, buildi

Cool! Certainly quicker than loading up cross compilers (even when they're so easy to get on Debian/Ubuntu), building a binary, and running the right version of objdump. The Rust Playground at https://play.rust-lang.org

Try `ps -afx` in Hyper. Then in iTerm 2. Though I love the ideas behind Hyper, I'm going to stick with iTerm 2 as my daily terminal for now.

There's another way to look at it that I don't think the USA will be ready to understand any time soon: Universal health and education are (key parts of) freedom. You can even put a market spin on it: None of the risks involved in

For the last few weeks, I've been doing all my Rust hacking in Visual Studio Code + the RustyCode extension on both Windows and Mac. It's a good experience, but the (currently early in development) Rust Language Server will make i
