I'm totally fine with enforcing that int8_t == char == 8-bits, however I'm not sure about spreading the misconception that a byte is 8-bits. A byte with 8-bits is called an octet. At the same time, a `byte` is already an "a

Note that the "<<" operator for std::cout is not related to the language itself but related to the standard library.

Interestingly I find the examples very difficult to understand. I replaced the table "raining? umbrella? faithful?" with "raining? umbrella? dry?". Then made sense in my head only if I write something like this: dry = um

Is it less "safe" than your own restricted definition then... maybe?

I love it ! No extra mental process to really know if a brace is a brace of a bracket.

At this point isn't the lesson to use serverless stack for fast iterative processes then use a custom solution once you know exactly what you want? I have 0 experience with serverless/cloud. Just a thought.

I did not know package managers relied on Github, this is the most unwise thing to do from a package manager perspective. Anyone could just change username/organization and break thousands/millions of build.

It looks strange to use "computational time" in order to slow down the server. In such scenario you are describing I believe an explicit delay like "thread_or_task.sleep()" would be even better? I believe that the "

While I understand and agree to the solution you provide, I would dare to call it a workaround. Since Github default culture is to use issues in a certain way, in which the maintainers are actually the bottleneck, most people will keep usin

The main issue mentioned in the article is to use Github. The "issues" on Github could be "bugs", "feature request" or even "improvement" (it could be anything actually). If I were to maintain a proje

Not sure what is there intention. Usually it costs a lot because organizers expect companies to pay their staff to go there and "learn" stuff. Milking people using rust professionally does not sound profitable. It's also hard

Especially because it also means that potential OnlyFans competitor will come across the same fate. So there is no need to worry about them (unless the owners intended to get massive cash asap).

It's all of them. A transpiler is still a compiler. A front-end compiles to an intermediate state (C99 in this case).

Nothing beats the simplicity of FAT. Btrfs has a lot of bugs while being active for a long time. This is mostly related to its complexity. If I'm going to implement a filesystem for a custom hardware I would definitely not chose btrfs.

You also need to consider all the future signs as well in the equation.

Yeah, it's close to an empty project. But since it's web-dev related and rust-dev related it deserves the front page on Hacker News...

Is this sarcastic? I mean, the versioning part sounds good, but JSON like request? I do believe people don't know what inefficient/efficient a system can be depending on the data format they are using.

Th worst part is that if say "You could have both, speed and gifs" no one would "believe" it could happen.

I assume the point would be to be aware of it beforehand.

Yeah, that's actually how any C FFI bindings should be. Ans also, that's the strength of C and its simple ABI.

Sorry I won't be able to give you a lot of feedback. As a matter or preference I really like colons and semi-colons. That said your work is amazing. This is a true example of simplicity. I don't think most of people would get how
