If you're thinking about building something in Rust, a good question to ask is, "what would I use if Rust didn't exist?" If your answer is something like Go or Node.js, then Rust is probably not the right choice. If your

Both Modularization and Microservices solve scaling problems. Modularization allows development to scale. Microservices allow operations to scale.

> the gap between 100M and 500M isn't that impressive This is absolutely not true. The closer you are to peak performance, the harder it is to scale, and the returns diminish heavily. At many major tech companies, there's a hug

We migrated many of our critical protocols from JSON to protobuf, and the experience has been very positive. As your system gets bigger, and your teams get bigger, the value of a typed schema has a multiplicative effect on both reliability

There's lots of apps that do real-time rendering of Markdown, either for side-by-side editing, or for rendering snippets (comments, examples, etc.) that are stored as Markdown.

This is not really true. Yes, there are economies of scale to be had, but if you're talking landmass of Canada, then the primary cost is laying fiber, which tends to be a one-time cost (some caveats there) almost entirely subsidized by

That thread actually seemed like a reasonable response to balance out the "gloom and doom" from the media. Also, not sure why you think "8 twitter posts" are a such big deal -- tweets are limited in size, and twitter has

I don't understand this. Of course there's a point -- if there's an AirTag following me around, I'd like to know. Having an Android app just for that would be really useful (and not so hard to build.)
