One way rust's just a different tool for a different job, is it really doesn't optimize for knowing everything that's happening inside someone else's code. It's a great example of the difference in procedural vs fun

My demand for that too has slowed in the past couple years, mainly because it's getting easier to do more on the client. e.g. I don't need to upload an entire .docx file, if all my backend needs is ~50kB of values queried out of o

It's barely even lib-dependent -- we use rxjs instead of redux; react hooks have a useReducer now, and the "reduce" function isn't a new idea so it shows up in many more places where it can easily trigger events. I'

It's more a difference in weight and opinion. Laravel carries a lot with it; symfony nearly as much. But you could install composer and install the parts you like and not need everything shipped together. I agree you're normally i

Odd that the author ends on saying to make apps secure from the start, when this is often the intent in using bulkier frameworks to do "simple" things. It's also odd to criticise abstraction on abstraction since that's w

Great to know you'd only hit 1/3 the level needed to cause the apocalypse.

Oh god yes. Otherwise it's always the same: try to bargain you down to billing 30 minutes work, then complaining that you didn't do the 1.5h of work they'd agreed wouldn't be done to save costs. The usual "in lieu o

I agree with all of that, except for making it a reasonable rate. Go up to the edge of reasonable, then bump it up by $15/h.

Yes the bias is huge, and doubly bothersome because even attempts at inclusion are framed from the perspective of the currently powerful. I look at how many big-name white male devs on my twitter feed make a big show of trying to raise up o

The difficult challenge is that the skills aren't uniformly distributed, because the discrimination goes back way earlier than the interview. I remember how aggressively hostile the general culture was towards girls focusing on "g

I won't dispute that "patriarchy" (or even white supremecy) are forms of order, but they're order built by forcing roles on people based on gender and race. Anyone wrapping punctuality up into that is enforcing such a sy

The best way I remember enhancing the graphics of my door games, was with those local versions of the game you could install that'd connect using its own protocol to the BBS. Versions of The Pit where you'd get local images and so

Being too much behind a product idea is doubly bad, because an idea isn't a business. You need some plan for how that'll progress over time, or how does any delivery, licensing, or potential investment get managed? I'm about

Forgiveness certainly does not require being correct. The "mistake" language is excellent, because it covers cases where you may not have been badgered at all. You could feel it was a mistake to post something based on its timing

We'd recently moved our jwt code into rust (using the jsonwebtoken crate), and it's wonderful to have this article to read in that context. The pitfalls listed in the article were mostly handled by design, so we had to correct mis

It's a common stressor because it's obviously going to be used to assess your job performance, and you need to put effort both into reporting accurately and making you look good. It can get excessive, depending on the quality of m

I do a lot of yoghurts at home. I find skim milk powder is really excellent for thickening it up before you culture it. I also enjoy browning it a teensy bit on the bottom of the pot - gives it a nice caramel flavour.

If you're bottlenecked, then certainly. There's no free lunch, but for us, problems that can be solved by simply scaling up the resources on the host as relatively cheap as free vs expensive developer time. When we're purely

It'd be interesting to implement this on a type that would defer all of these drop threads (or one big drop threads built off a bunch of futures) until the end of some major action, like sending the http response on an actix-web thread

I'd even made your same comment about Strings over on reddit last week - it's not like the ways it's doing it are wrong at all. It's more that newbies can suffer decision paralysis when you are obsessed with learning the

I'm the CTO of a small company (about a dozen people), and I don't know that my career has been hurt, but I've certainly had to reprioritize. Doing dev work, where the occasional task can take 30m to 30h, and you have to be f

Came here to ask how it compares to juniper. Juniper has been the one part of my stack of crates that's made async difficult for a while now. Building a rust app with full futures support from top to bottom has huge benefits, but suppo

It's studying for the test. It's too common to see a stock index as the stock market as the economy, buy they're all distinct things. Ideally an index _should_ represent that market, but when an economy becomes massively cent

We often divide UX into those two broad "inexperienced" and "powerusers" categories, but in my experience those are only what we see for Good Software that could at worst miss its demographic. More frequently, I see Bad

The US also got hit pretty late, yet is taking it the worst. The extra time could've been used to prepare - everyone in this comments section wants to compare to Europe, but there's a much better reference point sitting on America
