I dunno about civil war, but I'm increasingly convinced the US is a failing state. Capital owners in a variety of sectors are siphoning off public money while paying next to no taxes. The introduction of unlimited money in political ca

They said they implemented the query engine in tokio, a popular async runtime in Rust, but quiche is blocking AFAIK. I wonder how they integrated the two.

The thread is very clear they are only open to perspectives that don't challenge any of their own opinions. They complain on the one hand that one shouldn't care about offending, and on the other say that they wouldn't want t

This thread is shocking. It sounds like some workers tried to introduce DEI and were ridiculed from the top down. Also, they may have had "20 people" who were brave enough to say something but I guarantee there were more who just

The fact is that writing a doubly linked list correctly is hard and it's easy even for veterans to miss things. Rust is going to put those invariants in your face. My advice would be not to judge any language on how easy it is to imple

Would like to know this also. I don't write much python but I frequently look at scapy with jealousy. It looks like a wonderful library.

If this is the system working as intended, and you think that is a good thing, then I don't think there is any way to convince you otherwise. To, on one hand, talk about helping the unbanked in Africa while at the same time justifying

The average house price in Canada is over 800k now. In a city like Toronto I would expect that to be higher.

If there is no conclusion then you are just un-productively saying "modern software sucks". My point is, if the claim is that modern software is bad, what do they offer as the solution to that? > The conclusion”, if you need on

by leshow 4y ago
What's the conclusion though? Modern software is crap so you shouldnt use any libraries and roll your own implementations of everything? Sounds like a recipe for lots of bugs.

Not to be that person, but the free marketplace doesn't exist. All markets are legislated, and government picks winners and losers all the time, and that's not inherently bad.

Are you framing this as a defense of the practice? It's hard to imagine that you view it as a positive thing that you get a massive bill you can't hope to pay, and you then have to call and beg to be lowered to some reasonable amo

If I have a central authority, why would I not just keep all my transactions in a regular database? It would be much cheaper and many times more efficient.

With respect, I don't feel you've defended anything. Some blockchains may be less wasteful than others, but almost every popular one is very energy intensive and IMO you haven't even talked about the elephant in the room: do

Simpler in what way? There are efforts to make writing Rust simpler, to make lifetime elision better or have the borrowck accept more valid programs. I don't think it's reasonable to expect Rust to explore removing language featur

I recommend Jon Gjengset's book "rust for rustaceans" https://nostarch.com/rust-rustaceans If you're comfortable in Rust, it is the next step up for intermediate developers.

Keep in mind Rust wasn't even 1.0 until 2015, so servo was being developed in tandem with that, from 2015 to 2020 they integrated stylo from servo to firefox, and a few other components if memory serves. So no, I guess they didn't
