I previously asked "why cargo vet instead of extending crev" and I think the answer was that architecturally cargo-crev is meant to be a single repository of public audits, where as cargo-vet aims for a decentralized system where

I've been using this library in production to handle doing operations on domain names and it's been incredible. It's one of those things that's so easy to use it almost starts to seem simple. Like of course we need a l

I'm American and started using A4 because good fountain pen paper is usually A4, A5, etc. I eventually found that I like the A4 size better than US Letter. US Letter seems unnecessarily wide for most writing.

Depends on your definition of "small". Clap will add significantly to the compile time, but your binary won't be too much larger. Rust binaries tend to fall in the range of 2–30MB, depending on lots of things. But that's

Yes, it's more-or-less the case that you need the current Rust compiler if you want to compile a bunch of Rust projects and have no issues. But there's really no downside to this. Just grab the latest Rust version. It's free

I'm excited to try this out when the beta releases. I wonder what typesetting algorithm they're using. Hopefully it can produce output at least on-par with TeX's Knuth-Platt algorithm. Also the math syntax as shown is probabl

Well this seems extremely misleading. Technically this is true: Rust doesn't have forward compatibility. But it does have guaranteed backwards compatibility since the 1.0 in 2015, which is far more important. So "break things&q

An infinitely recurring payment shouldn't be thought of as costing infinite money, even though that's what you'll pay over time. The later payments aren't worth as much as the payments today because the money today can b

It's definitely not FTL information transfer. If it were, you'd know. It would probably be on the front page of every newspaper as the biggest scientific discovery of the last century.

This library's focus on correctness is what made me realize how absurdly complex SVG rendering is. They focus only on static SVG, and only on SVG 1 (though apparently they're working on SVG 2 support) and they still only manage to

I wonder if string interning is advantageous for a lexer, where you know the strings you'd want to intern ahead-of-time (AoT). If you have reserved words, those will probably end up as enum variants in "Token". And things you

I'd like to see an "owned" version where the tokens hold something like a CompactString [0] instead of a &str or String, where CompactString is just some type that uses the small-string optimization and usually avoids hea

Wow, that sounds really exciting. How would this work for something like a service that runs for a long time, and periodically needs to make a web request (and therefore periodically opens a TCP socket)? Are you counting the ability itself

Which topic are you trying to learn? The books and other resources people suggest will probably depend heavily on the specific topic.
