I'm building commercial hardware products using embedded Rust, I love it. I cant really imagine going back to C. I haven't dug too deep into the offerings with this update, but none of the standard library stuff is relevant for me

A man can have honor and represent amicable qualities: wanting to provide and protect - nothing wrong with that, but if a man has a problem with a woman being a provider or protector then thats a recipe for disaster. You shouldn’t have to m

I’m sorry but I find this overly simplified psychological model of men quite demeaning. Sure you will find men who do fit this model, but why the hell would you want to? You are essentially asking op to change who she is to fit into an outd

At what cost? At least if you ring the alarm bell early you could improve your situation if you attempt to stick it out (couples therapy etc), but resigning to being “a washing machine” sounds like a terrible plan for your life. The mind fi

Can you elaborate on the proficiency of your dev team, is this with juniors etc? Is it a large team? And what is the complexity of the project? I think this is important information

I know synthesizer manufacturers that are switching over to Rust for their embedded devices, Elektron is an obvious one that comes to mind. There is also some adaptation in the Eurorack space thanks to a lot of open source work done for stm

There is nothing inherently wrong with borrowing money to buy an asset. The problem is that most people don't have the money and they likely never will, passing on their debt to their children, but they want the asset anyway - so we ha

As a person who has only ever borrowed money for tuition, I don't understand the attitude that "debt is good", I never have and I probably never will. To me, an economy that is fueled from debt is a broken economy. If you nee

Theres a lot of criticism here about “async rust”. I find this wording strange, I use rust asynchronously with rtic (realtime interrupt concurrency) for low level work. Its really excellent. Are peoples criticisms specifically about inline

I was burnt out for about a year, two main symptoms for me were: I hated standups, felt a high degree of anxiety around them, even though I was a very influential and productive team member and I felt completely zapped of all my energy - wa

Sums it up pretty well actually. Life isn’t so easy in Australia anymore, I guess thats what happens when realestate has indebted the entire population. Personally, Id rather buy something in Europe for a fraction of the price, with more fr

Frameworks like nextjs are in an eternal existential battle to stay relevant. In my 4 years of using Next, I experienced a large number (6 or 7 releases) of major version releases. What the industry needs is not more breaking changes, but s

Seems like a strange system that a government / central bank would purchase assets with low interest rates and then sell them as they raise interest rates. Whats the purpose behind this?

Can someone please explain to me why "relatively" safe drugs are being cut with Fentanyl, a drug which seems to be killing a lot of people? To me it seems counter-intuitive to kill unsuspecting users of party drugs. If the dealers

Can I ask, how do you find work as a Freelancer? Generally I find a majority of companies are looking for FTE workers and often its hard to negotiate to work as a contractor/freelancer on a role that's advertised on a job board.
