All I want is a basic tiny single threaded async runtime in std. No need for Send & 'static on everything. A modern single core is more than plenty for my workloads. Need more horsepower? Sure grab Tokio. I'll be fine with sin

Not sure if trolling but, Rust had green threads before Rust 1.0. Like everyone sane before them they figured N:M scheduling is not the way forward and they ripped it out before going stable. That decision impressed me a lot and made me loo

Pre-chip Brother laser printers can be found for $50-100 on Craigslist. Will last for a decade of home use if not more. Toner can be refilled or bought aftermarket for under $20.

So far, parsing common crawl database at line speed, rewriting a lot of AWS Lambda functions, embedded systems upgrade scripts, few ESP32 deep embedded devices, REST API backends, custom key-value stores, custom TLS terminator, etc, etc. A

Yeah, don't cheap out on the soldering iron. If you have to, at least get yourself a t12 clone. For $50 you should be able to find a decent one with extra tips and accessories. Anything less is a waste of money and will bring frustrati

Germans learned their lesson, Putin lost his funding. Loss of that pipeline is a net win for humanity. If the headline were: "Ukrainian oligarch funds Polish mercenaries to blowup NordStream pipeline" I wouldn't even blink. S

Dark patterns trick WhatsApp users to enable backups to Google and Apple. If you have them disabled odds are good the other side got tricked into them. Even if your backups are encrypted, it's using only a 64bit key. That means Five Ey
