To be clear though, the allocator API is still experimental and from what I remember has been for quite a while now..

The more you struggle at something the more you will learn. That works up to the point where the struggle is beyond your capacity for struggle - then you just get stuck. So ideally (assuming you are doing this because you want to learn some

Yes, a discussion of the tradeoffs of different solutions is exactly what I want to hear in an interview.

A well implemented system would somehow allow you to use your ID to prove you have the attributes a service needs (being over 18, able to drive, no criminal records, not a communist or whatever it is they need) without providing any further

Emacs can be a curse too. Once you get into it, it's really hard to use anything else..

They believed their writing was gifted to them by the Gods. According to them they were not the first, they were just the next in line after the Gods.

I've been programming Rust professionally for several years now and being totally honest I don't really understand Pin that well. I get the theory, but don't really have an intuitive understanding of when I should use it. My

Huge codebase. It was handled in 13 places, but they missed the 14th.

The problem isn't so much the lack of enums, it's more that there is no way to do exhaustive pattern matching at compile time. I have seen production systems go down because someone added a variant to an 'enum' but faile

A few years ago I worked on a Solaris box that would lock the whole machine up whenever I grepped through the log files. Like it wouldn't just be slow, the web server that was running on it would literally stop serving requests while i

Once installed I've found it to work pretty much flawlessly, very few windows plugins don't work with it.

If it supports VST, I imagine yabridge would work fine to allow you to use Windows VST. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

The other commenters to this are correct, `Vec::new()` doesn't actually allocate so the code in the book is fine. I had a brain fart. If that function was taking a reference to an object that was fairly expensive to create a default va

The example at the end of that section: pub fn encrypted(&self) -> Vec<u8> { encrypt(self.payload.as_ref().unwrap_or(&vec![])) } Needlessly allocates a `Vec` if `self.payload` is `Some`. Re

I see. So essentially the issue is built in to the way Activity Pub is designed. It is a scaling issue. Your browser may not blink at loading 100 resources, but say you were constantly reloading 100s of tabs, it would start to grind down. R

What is the biggest resource bottleneck in Mastodon? Like, are the certain design decisions that could be optimised to make it more resource efficient? Is it just because it is written in Ruby? Is there something inherent to ActivityPub tha

The difficulty with a lot of dynamic languages is that it is very difficult to determine at compile time what parts of the runtime are not going to be invoked so you largely end up having to include the entire platform in the executable.

Vi commands are verb-noun (cw - change word). Helix are noun-verb (wc - select the word then change it). Learn to use multiple cursors in Helix - many of the things I have found lacking from Vi - eg pressing . doesn't work the same way

"Whether to choose Emacs or Vim is a difficult decision, as it depends on the individual's preferences and needs. As Seneca said, “Will any one give this passion as an assistant and companion to virtue, although it disturbs calm r

For sure, optimise when necessary. Rust lets you do this.

I've been writing Rust professionally for a few years now and if there's one thing I've learned it's that if you ever write a function that takes a parameter of `impl Fn(&Vec<&'a str>) -> &&#x27
