Given the context of the article, I think "Rust specific" here means that "it couldn't be done in python". For example "No interpreter startup" is not specific to Rust either.

Video Streaming has surprising little overlap with Video Codecs . Once you choose input/output options, then there's little to change about the codec. The vast majority of options available to ffmpeg aren't supported in th

Ignoring the fact that the assumption that you will automatically have as good or better uptime than a cloud provider, I just feel like you just simply aren't being thoughtful enough with the comparison. Like in what world is payroll n

I'm not sure what is meaningfully different about RDS that wouldn't rule out the cloud in general if that was a concern.

I think you and I simply disagree about your database being a core/critical part of your stack. I believe RDS is good enough for most people, and the only advantage you would have in self hosting is shaving 33% off your instance bill.

Unironically - I agree. You should be outsourcing things that aren't your core competency. I think many people on this forum have a certain pride about doing this manually, but to me it wouldn't make sense in any other context.

As I understand it, this is too brittle. I think this is trivially defeated if someone adds an append to your code: func do_another_important_thing(key []byte) []byte { newKey := append(key, 0x0, 0x1) // this might ma

As I understand it `--no-quarantine`, as it is currently implemented, is a noop on ARM Macs. So if Homebrew has two options: 1. Play cat and mouse with Apple to ensure `--no-quarantine` works 2. Deprecate and remove the feature.

The `futurelock` is probably closer to something like: import threading mutex = threading.Lock() def gen_1(): yield 1 print("acquiring") mutex.acquire(); print("acquired")
