As a 33yo in Europe who got diagnosed and prescribed medication 2 months ago I can attest that it is possible to get a prescription as an adult. I just started working again (on medication) after a 6month work break and it is so refreshing

Support or service subscriptions are probably your best bet. The only software I have paid for on my Linux machines is IntelliJ.

In a similar vein Belgian startup FibriCheck is doing the same thing for detecting atrial fibrillation.

I’m not deaf but I watch a lot of video content with no sound and only CC captions. Usually with my own music playing instead. When the CC is good it can communicate the mood of the music that is playing, sometimes it even shows the lyrics.

I’ve been playing around with code sharing options between web, mobile and desktop platforms. The idea is that the app core is written once in Rust and bindings are automatically generated to all target platforms. I have a project that star

What the article shows as a typical commuter bike in the UK is from the brand Specialized, which is a high end luxury brand comparable to BMW or Tesla for cars. They are not going to sell bikes with racks and mudguards. If you step into a b

I’m going to play with this as well since I’m learning about the whole tasks/notes space. Do you have plans to support any form of sync? Like CalDAV or some API on top of which CalDAV or another sync method can be implemented?

Amazing to play with. In light of the font size discussion from a few days ago: I would love to have a UI like this integrated into an IDE like InteliJ so I can fine tune the font rendering to my liking.

Not specific accounts but Reddit Public Access Network and Twitch are interesting services to discover this kind of content. Although the signal to noise ratio is low.

When using an external db every query needs to cross the connection boundary and thus perform network IO and deal with the threading implications for that IO. With SQLite running in-process a round trip just means a function call, and when

I know actix uses lots of generics and macros to match up your functions with varying signatures to Handlers for a request. That might be a reason why it’s slow but I don’t know enough about Rust compilation to be sure. Can’t you put the we

I can’t give you actionable advice since I’m struggling with this (and a recent autism diagnosis) myself. But it might be interesting to research the empathising/systemising theory.

Some parts of the Rust ecosystem belong to this category. For example the way Rustup and Cargo features with conditional compilation helps cross compiling code to new platforms. Yes we also have cross compiling in C/C++ but the extra t

Inside the article is a section "How to get started using Backblaze B2 in Terraform" with a link [1] to the getting started guide which should have everything you need. I can see why they put it on a separate page to not clutter u

Terraform is an amazing tool and it’s always great to see more infrastructure providers jumping on the bandwagon.

Stuff like parsing JSON is typically still blocking. I’m sure there are other forms of blocking computation. JS being single threaded means that while some tracker is parsing a big json blob your website becomes unable to handle input event

I don’t know about real world implementations but to answer the last question: IMO authorization responsibility belongs to the backend service. I like setups where the API Gateway talks to Keycloak for authenticating a request and passes a

I’m very interested in the post mortem about the specific race condition. Since the article mentions session ids returned to the wrong user my first guesses would be 1) something with thread-local storage saving the the auth info in the req

I assume parent means that the compiled flutter app uses GTK3 as the shell for spawning windows and initializing the Skia context to which the app can render. This is also how Druid the Rust GUI framework works on Linux. Use GTK to start th

This problem is what CRDT's are good for. I'm not sure if Git is the right tool to build this on top off.

And this works both ways. Like the Postgres standard API you mention: Not only does it allow you to bring your own client, you can swap the underlying implementation and still use all the clients that speak the protocol. Like the author I w

IIRC Flutter compiles your Dart source code to a native platform binary and uses Skia to render the UI. I assume the Flutter Desktop API provides abstractions for creating windows.
