   Yep. Like to see some competition and I’m a huge fan of rust, so like to support it any way I can. I hit minor compatibility issues on some sites, but it’s rare. Main thing I miss is auto shrinking tabs. FF doesn’t support the bajillion tab

   I installed that software on Linux. It then randomly spread my music library around my Gooogle Drive. Support's answer "Your local sync db must have got corrupted. But here is a list of all the files that got moved" wtf?!

   If only there were a systems programming language, offering c-like performance with memory guarantees and well suited to high throughput network servers that would catch this class of bugs at compile-time [1] [2] [1] https://www.

    There was a great ML presentation at RustConf yesterday where a couple of guys broke down building a classifier using Python and Rust. It really demystified the process.

    I like it. There was a thread on here recently about an ex-googler going freelance on toptal.com and earning $2,000 USD per hour. That still looks more individually focussed though. I know what you mean about the team thing though. After 15

    Hehehe, yeah admittedly the "actually" part was exaggerated, but it definitely hit a nerve. There is this sort of tacit understanding hardware kickstarters are often late, but obviously not all, as all the good folk who have poste

    I know what you mean. Around the time of our campaign these guys [1] were on every major news website in Australia (paid ads, not stories). Their marketing budget must have been huge. I've heard Sony launches stuff under different name

    For us, it started on OpenWRT blogs, scouring Alibaba and seeing who got back to us. Later it was email lists and the network of our accelerator. If I was going to custom design, i'd be going to maker meetups in your city, or applying
