If Chrome operated that way, we would still have broken locks on mixed-content SSL pages and no warning at all on non-SSL pages. The fact is, an attempt at security is better than no attempt at all, and visibly marking the insecure option a

Another way of looking at it is that your dependencies are still part of your code and to minimize those as well. It can’t easily be taken literally because who really wants to consider the Linux kernel and glibc as part of their everyday a

It’s worth pointing out that Orwell wasn’t so much predicting a future as commenting on current trends. For instance https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4412199/ or https://www.jstor.org&#

All it takes is one hit traced to a misconfigured VPN or browser, for example, to learn an IP address and thus real user, at least from a law enforcement perspective… though I suppose the same is true for any honeypot links. Same goes for c

That's Facebook's claim, yes. And when it comes to Apple News and even the App Store, Apple also serves advertising on behalf of its partners. It's also true that Apple themselves runs a lot of ads, and benefit from ad networ

This is why I tend to like the example shown by the Immutable javascript libraries. They implement find-by-value using a library-specific calculation of equality built on primitives, but if you need something custom, you can pass predicate

The page you linked to on the NASA website does mention the worm logo, though its image quality is a bit visibly compressed. Perhaps it’s a recent addition.

I'm with you on this one. I'd actually suggest https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail could be extended to do this, though I haven't found the time yet for my own codebases. For example https:&#x2

Python's been implemented and works well enough with sane codebases. I imagine given Ruby's strong use of conventions, common usages could be covered easily given time.

Traversing and displaying code as a graph is indeed the primary use case for Sourcetrail. It's documented at https://www.sourcetrail.com/documentation/ You can also click any part of the code to navigate the graph

I’m not a lawyer but if you’re not embedding GPL code output into your code, you’re fine. Using GPL code to write or reason about code under a different license is not the same thing as having GPL software output a copy of its own GPL-licen

Yep, Sourcetrail can do that, for the languages it supports. (It has an SDK so additional languages can be added, with effort.) Give it a method, another method, and it will draw a line from point A to B (with all the functions in between)

The 0.x stability is news to me. I would suggest the community would get wider adoption by moving to 1.0 for components that others can build on, such as web servers. To me, that Tokio hit 1.0 is a significant milestone, one that encourages

I would not have gone shopping for it without the article pointing me to its existence, but I couldn't find it at any of my local stores. If Eataly has it, I might have to brave the elements and pay too much for it, just to try it! ;-)

That's a good point. And since AWS put forward their support for Rust recently, along with Microsoft's interest and the new Rust Foundation, the future is looking rather bright for Rust. But it reminds me still of the early days o

The incorrect alternative I meant is the idea that you can "just switch languages" or frameworks and get an instant speed boost. I mean, yes, sometimes your web server, caching proxy or CDN can act as a silver bullet, and rewritin

> about Actix framework being mostly unsafe Yep, that's what I meant. To me, until Rust unsafe implementations hit 1.0 as web frameworks, not just Tokio, I can't consider them as stable or bug-free as more mature web servers. I

To me the interesting part is when you can read the benchmark source code and learn about a high performance feature for the framework or language you’re already using. That’s happened a few times for me with Go, for example. I hope more hi

by lstamour 6y ago
If you read the source code, it’s fair to say that while you can use the frameworks and implementations at the top to build your own systems, they would likely perform slower than these benchmarks as you add more features to them. Now, you

I wrote this comment based on pre-release benchmarks, based on Physical benchmarks run against Git commits from Jan 23 - but it should still largely apply to the final benchmarks: It’s kind of frustrating to spend a few hours investigating
