If you want transparent failover you need to use your own domain for the repo URL. In case of a failure you (or some automatic job) would have to change the DNS record. Gitlab has a repo mirroring feature [1]. But of course you'd also

Just hearing Salesforce should make you run as fast as you can , if you value your sanity as a developer. Salesforce is unbeatable in marketing and sales strategy, but the products are horrible.

Can you share a few? YouTube always seems to stick me in a bubble and never recommends any worthwhile new channels.

Many companies invested a lot of time. But from what I have seen, most of that time was spent on the legal and policy site, not on actually implementing the technical changes required to properly handle, store and delete data. I can absolut

I encourage you to have a look at the operating income that AWS rakes in. Sure, the amount of expertise, redundancy and breadth of service offerings they provide is worth a markup, but they are also significantly more expensive than they ne

I agree that Rust async is currently in a somewhat awkward state. Don't get me wrong, it's usable and many projects use it to great effect. But there are a few important features like async trait methods (blocked by HKT), async c

That's an interesting observation. It definitely has merit. I've run into this exact same thing in type-system heavy languages like Haskell/Scala/Rust, where I spend more time juggling abstractions than implementing feat

The new compiler is very innovative and a distinguishing feature, but I would recommend giving a higher priority to package management. A package manager is more or less expected by developers now, and I bet you will see a lot more adoption

There are so many situations where an error payload is either mandatory for properly handling the error, or required to get somewhat decent error output... Side channels are not really a feasible implementation option. So you have to resort

As mentioned in my other (wall of text) comment, that's not strictly beneficial. It forces you to implement a lot of logic in "userspace" that other languages do for you automatically. Complexity for certain abstractions move

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think D has the ability to just import C headers and seamlessly use them without having generated or manually written `extern` declarations?

What do you find radical about Zig? I like Zig, but can't see anything particularly revolutionary about it's design. The features mostly an evolution of concepts found in languages like D or Nim. Between the two, Rust is much more

by the_duke 6y ago
Can you mention some concrete criticism? Rust has evolved a lot, even since 1.0, but all changes were well designed and for the better, in my view.

After writing a lot of Rust, I recently did a small project with Zig to learn the language. I'm especially impressed with the C interop. You can just import C headers, and Zig will use clang to analyze the header and make all symbols a

I used to assume that Linux had a huge test suite with hundreds of thousands of tests, given the crazy feature matrix that the kernel has to support. And that they would have started requiring tests for new features and bug fixes. Alas, tha

Humour is rarely appreciated here, but I found this funny and on point. Battery technology announcements are always extremely over hyped. Mostly by media and PR departments rather than actual scientific or domain specific outlets. Advanceme

The list of changes is tiny compared to the 2018 edition. The module system was a big change, and the macro changes caused quite a bit of breakage. Both were important. The changes here are nice to have, especially the partial struct borrow

Well, I can see how someone fixated on a "store" Vs "cache" terminology might arrive at that name. Browsers store, proxies cache , so it should be no-cache, obviously! Sure, it's stupid, but naming is hard and these

Wouldn't many bugs only surface in multi-instruction and status register interactions? But those are also probably way harder to verify.

No, please, no. I understand that it's often easier to express something with a quick voice message, rather than writing it up. But is it searchable? Is it coherent information that I can refer to, copy and paste? Is it efficiently con

Repaired by whom? Many companies make it hard/impossible and expensive to repair things on purpose, because they really, really want you to buy something new every few years. Mitigating this "build to fail" mentality is the v

It has been said again and again, but this is a very common misconception. The memory is a soldered on extra chip. It's not on the SoC.

It wouldn't be that far off if we had the money and motivation. We could probably have a mostly self sustaining colony in caves on Mars within ten years , if we really wanted to. It would just take an absurd amount of money and singula

On one of the unofficial cams (Labpadre) it looked like they deployed but didn't lock in place. But it looks like the engine gave out early. The rocket was way too fast, so the legs probably wouldn't have made much difference.

As usual for Google products, this works fine in Chrome on a decently powerful desktop. Not up to the speed of well-written Javascript, but definitely viable. In contrast, this is completely unusable on other browsers or on lower powered de

You are arguing from the perspective of a single company, while the parent is arguing from an ecosystem perspective. Sure, for a single customer it's good to have a widely used product with a big ops and security response team. But if

The gallery already downloads a wasm file for me. Not sure if it's used. ps: for me the Gallery is extremely laggy in Firefox, but works decently well on Chrome. Maybe wasm is enabled on Chrome only.

Can you share any example of Flutter Web that isn't a extremely basic Todo app, doesn't completely break regular browser UX and works without being slow as molasses? I haven't seen one. I like Flutter, but I don't think
