I dabble in "life storage" and your comment made me think that some sort of executable shipped alongside backup locations to read the data, if in some deduplicated backup form, seems valuable. Eg Camlistore/Perkeep had the pr

How useful would that book (IPv6 Address Planning) be to someone not working specifically in networking/ops? I like developing applications and i manage, of course, my home network. I'd love a book that gives me everything i need

Man, a personal hosted VPN for all my junk is my dream. Can't wait to get something selfhosted, tail-scail-like setup. Something i can get into from anywhere and work from anything. I'm tempted to order a bluetooth keyboard like t

I don't know much about Starlink, but isn't one point of Starlink that eventually it could even beat wired connections for distance latency? Ie it's a shorter and more direct trip to use Starlink to get from US West to US E

It's not a security risk. The security risk was removed, and the provided feature is an expensive workaround to avoid the security risk.

I gave an example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27909949 But in addition to that, 1-3 seconds per click is horrible imo. I have to literally pause, and slow down my workflow, because every input (navigation cli

You're right, i'm sensitive to load times and exaggerated by approximately 4x. I just (loosely) timed it, it took ~10-12s to open a backlog selected issue card _with cache_ from refresh. I used that example because it highlights t

I could agree with you from a UX-flow perspective, but the tech is so shoddy that i loathe it. Everything is a "web 2.0" monstrosity of load times and popin. Open the wrong link and it takes you 40 seconds for components to popin,

Man, i feel like i'd miss so many interesting topics. Do you think this same goal might work if you limited it to, say, 10 bookmarks? Survival of the fittest, you always compare it to the rest and if it's good enough, it goes in a

Wow i'm going to have to try this sometime. That looks impressive. Anyone here try it before? How well does it work?

This looks cool! I'm writing an immutable data store, with my own hashes as IDs; I wonder how viable it would be to use IPFS CID's as my IDs? I expect the trouble there would be how the data is chunked. If IPFS disagrees about the

I don't know this field, perhaps my bar is low because of Python lol, but Go's GC has very short GC pauses. So short that it makes non-GC'd usecases less attractive imo. My big issue with Go's GC, or GC's in general

by adkadskhj 5y ago
Yea, i can see that. As much as i dislike Go these days, their GC is impressive as hell. I can imagine future GC's will learn a lot from Go.

by adkadskhj 5y ago
Is there a reason you'd not just throw RC-like solutions on it? Ie the GC is basically going to employ a handful of techniques with overhead like RC, memory Arenas, etc - which you could also use in Rust. So i imagine you know this, is

by adkadskhj 5y ago
Curious, why do you want a GC'd Rust? I imagine there's something about Rust that you feel would be improved with a GC?

> I don't mean saying something like "our tech stack is in Rust." More like "3-5 years experience in Rust" under the job requirements. I think i addressed this in my edit. We are not doing this.

Your 25k cards interest me. I've long hoped to merge the concepts of knowledge base and retention. I love knowledge bases, but i want them to aid and augment my natural retention. Can you speak about how you use the 25k cards? Do you

This statement is so odd. So we should hire to bring on people who want to work in PHP, and then force them to use Rust? We have a large codebase in Rust. We're hiring devs who want to use Rust. Why is that "doing something wrong&

For me it was things that aided user(dev) experience, and that was primarily things like iterators, enums, and functional patterns like maps (in the robust stdlib) , good crate ecosystem. That made a huge DX improvement for me because it

Fwiw it can compete in a lot of areas to a lot of languages. It doesn't represent a need to replace, say NodeJS or Python with Rust, because those languages don't typically have safety issues. However Rust offers low-level benef

Disclaimer: Rust fanatic Sidenote, i think a lot of the tech crowd forgets how much industry will lag behind popularity, for a whole bunch of good reasons. My shop uses Rust, and all our hires are aimed at Rust, and it's still not easy

There is no illusion of safety. It's 100% safe, within the code you right, if you don't use unsafe. If there is unsafe in code you use (write or shared), it's a handful of lines which you can nearly grep for it's so easy
