I read it more as "random people on the internet may be part of some country trying backdoor software because countries are sngaged in cyber warfare, so actually meet the people you want to hand over access to"

Oh, OK. That sounds more like stuff you're directly responsible for, and it looks sensible.

If I'm generating the data, sure, I'll use CALDAV. But for ingesting unstructured data I didn't generate, I'm going to reach for an LLM now (provided latency isn't an issue).

I came for the speed, I stayed for the lack of `ConcurrentModificationException`s. In all seriousness though, I'd say I only have 2 real projects that needed Rust's speed, and the rest I've done is because I bring the other t

The world grid snapping is only for foundations. But it allows you to have separate factories far away that eventually meet nicely together once expanded to meet.

I suspect that stuff like accessibility and minimum OS version are not independent of the profitability of a customer, so it's not necessarily insane. For example, I'd suspect that people who stay on old iPhone's are less lik

This reminded me of that... but I also don't know enough to say 100% for sure.

Yes, on that we can agree. You specifically seemed to be saying "Why use rust when you don't want top tier performance", to which my response was "I do want top tier performance." That aside, with regards other lang

I mean... if it was me: 1) I know Rust, not Go (esbuild is written in go-lang) 2) I don't have to worry as much about breaking Rollup, and I'm not nearly as confident in my ability to write performant JS as I am in writing perform

> apparently dealing with borrow checker for userspace software that doesn't require 1us performance within 512 KB is appealing. Having worked on large web-apps, I'll take all the speedups I can get, thanks.

There are absolutely things I'd be comfortable writing in Rust and not in C because I'd very likely mess up the C implementation. Rust encourages and lowers the cost for certain algorithms and implementations. Whether or not that&

I think it's wonderful. Some design decisions are odd at first glance, but upon looking at their reasoning I find myself agreeing. I think it'll integrate nicely without causing disruption. I especially love having custom processo

What this actually sounds like is building up a base of tricks and tools. Like a senior dev who has utility code they bring with them from job to job. The same applies to paradigms and code patterns. The fun thing about programming tasks an

I appreciate the sentiment. It definitely seems possible, but it doesn't ever seem as easy as copy + paste if you ever want performance or to go outside the same generic tutorial. > Just like this: Just is doing a lot of heavy lifti

You'll still see those though? A fully GPL implementation doesn't prevent the current implementation from being used in a proprietary rust distribution... unless of course the GPL implementation were to fork from the current imple

IIUC, there are two main components to ADHD, and you can have one, the other or both. And all qualify as ADHD. I'm likely ADHD, and the majority of my siblings have it. There's a night and day difference though between me, who in
