The universe is 13.8 billion years old. The JWST has found galaxies formed just 400 million years after the Big Bang. It took the earth 4.6 billion years to form, and 1 billion years to create life. Our best theory of the universe, General

We could expand this further: async/await is the wrong abstraction for Rust.

Totally agree this is something the world needs to investigate together. That's why Grusch asked DOPSR for clearance to talk about the 1933 Magenta, Italy crash. Him and Elizondo have been working with Italian government officials rega

The government/DoD isn't a single entity. Especially when it comes to waived, bigoted special access programs where only a handful of people will even know the programs exist. So just because one person says "oh we don't

I have no clue. But it's hovering without rotors or any jet propulsion engine, and it's rotating in mid air.

I'm posting this because it's crazy to me how the link regarding Jimmy Carter's UFO encounter gets upvoted in HackerNews, but not David Grursch's claims. Grusch was a former NRO/NGA intel officer. He testified under

All of the evidence is classified. If he would've brought out imagery or any evidence to the public, he would've been put in jail. And it's not "hearsay" He brought 40 people with first hand knowledge to the ICIG. P

There's strict protocols for aircraft flying near the president's aircraft. There's no way in hell the airbase would allow take off while the president is in the air and he wouldn't have been told about it.

Engineering can’t always combat a poor integral structure.

There will still be cases where more fine tuned control is warranted. Rust has done this very intelligently by moving data race controls to the compiler level.

Hmm, Jesse Michels posts videos so infrequently (he just did the first one in a year) and he still got 2 million views instantly..

Idk if I buy this. I’m mostly a backend service developer, but my team manages our own infra using CDK and we love it. And we’re glad they used typescript as it’s a fantastic language.

Async await is polluting rust. What was once my favorite language is now a pain in the ass. And I am not the only person who feels this way. There’s no shame in pivoting

Can you admit that you failed in making it a pleasant experience to write async, especially for library authors? I don’t think it’s too late to admit failure and implement something like May https://github.com/Xudong-Huang&#

People love(d) rust because it’s a pleasant language to write code for while also being insanely performant. Async is taking away the first point and making it miserable to write code for. If this trend continues, it’ll ultimately destroy t

by likeabbas 3y ago
But you have to pull in an async runtime to do it. So library authors either have to force everyone to pull in an async runtime or write two versions of their code (sync and async).

by likeabbas 3y ago
So you’re stuck choosing a single CPU or having to write send and sync everywhere. There’s a lot of use cases where you would want a thread-per-core model like Glommio to take advantage of multiple cores while still being able to write code

> async doesn’t imply multithreaded Async the keyword doesn’t, but Tokio forces all of your async functions to be multi thread safe. And at the moment, tokio is almost exclusively the only async runtime used today. 95% of async libraries

Do you have any evidence of this? The IC can refer you to the justice department on his own if you've lied to him/her.

Even still, you’ve completely ignored the other half of my comment. Grusch is alleging specific people and corporations are involved in illegal activities. The corporations should have no trouble suing Grusch for false accusations and defam

That’s why congress needs to send a special envoy to investigate, and from what I’ve read they are looking into doing so. Ross Coulthart likely did not get this information from David Grusch btw.

Whatever it may end up being, I think it’s imperative that congress investigate this because of what you’re saying is true then this is not good for the American people to be led on like this.
