This is neat, but I'm a little confused on those benchmark numbers and what they mean exactly. For example, with 10% or 50% packet loss you aren't going to get a TCP stream to do anything reasonable. They will seem to just "p

My sleep tracking works pretty well on my S9. It isn't perfect and there are glitches and bugs I've noticed, but overall the long term trend tends to even out and feels pretty comparative to my old Fitbit.

Dang, I felt safe getting the series 9 last year and that there wouldn't be any major features this year. The sleep apnea detection would be something that could be handy as I suspect I'm borderline. It would be nice to non-intrus

I've never understood why anyone would use a conservative collector outside toy programs or academia. It is hard enough to make programs deterministic even with precise collection. I can't even imagine releasing software that was

As always with Bret Victor, the idea is huge and you can't help but get excited, but as a programmer of 35 years I'm always left wondering "well that is total cool for X and Y but how would you do Z?". I guess I just don

Isn't that the purpose of `become`? I thought it was to say "this IS a tail call, error out if it is not". After that validation is done, then the compiler can drop as needed.

If added to Clang then I would assume this means it got support from LLVM. If so, does this mean that Rust can now rely on tail calls in LLVM to support something like the `become` keyword?

After getting used to Python's dicts being ordered since 3.6, I really wish every language would do this. I think it is natural to think about the keys being kept in inserted order, and it is very handy a lot of the time. Rust's `

I don't hate SQL and I agree for many applications it makes sense, but I disagree 100% with "default to a SQL database" (like Postgres). Instead, figure out what you need based on your app. Recently I had the opportunity to r

Looks nice. What UI design system did you use here if I can ask?

Then I would need two different mechanisms. Local and remote are both satisfied by TCP sockets, so this is easier.
223.
by nu11ptr 2y ago
As one option, yes, the other option is to run them on different machines. App isn't done yet but the idea is that you are presented an option to either connect locally (if localhost detected) or remotely via auth on UI startup.

I use Flutter for my desktop UI and Rust for my backend. However, I chose to separate the two using gRPC instead of the bridge. This allows me to be agnostic of language on both sides and I suspect gives me a cleaner interface for mocking t

This is interesting. I evaluated Swift, but it didn't feel like platforms outside of Apple were first class. If this is changing, it would be a good thing.

How would you ensure that the values of the types doesn't invalidate the contract? Easy for basic assignment, but not sure how you would do that when doing arbitrary mutation.

This whole thing likely would have been averted had microkernel architectures caught on during the early days (with all drivers in user mode). Performance would have likely been a non-issue, not only due to the state of the art L4 designs t

I love railroad syntax diagrams. Not sure why, but I guess it is because they work in my brain. Grammars just seem to be shown in a way that makes it easier for my visual brain to comprehend.

How easy is it to follow along and yet build a statically typed language (instead of dynamically typed one as used in the book)?

But if they COULD be lists of >1 then by unwrapping it you have two scenarios to handle instead of one. How is this an improvement? And if it is ALWAYS a list of one why return a list?

Powershell wasn't awful when I wrote it but I never understood why arrays of length 1 removed the array and become the contained type. This caused a huge # of bugs as you suddenly had to care how many items could potentially be in the

Why is automatic array flattening a good thing? This has caused more bugs than I can count. Every time I make an array I have to check if it has a length of 1 and do something special with it or else the script blows up. Best I can tell thi

The article is just as wrong as articles that say you should use JWTs. They are both wrong because they lack context, at least in their opening. Interestingly, the article eventually does give context, but saying "it depends on what yo

Am I the only one who was shocked to see this still exists? Honestly I thought it was shutdown a long time ago. It does bring back very fond memories, however.
