I read that article when it came out and thought it was well written and had good evidence and sources. It's the opposite of unhinged IMO, and explains a lot as to why Google is as terrible as it is now.

There is indeed: Bezier::compute_lookup_table[1]. You'll want to use a `TValueType` of `Euclidean` to get equidistant points. [1]: https://docs.rs/bezier-rs/latest/bezier_rs/struct.Bezier.htm...

I suppose they're being pedantic in that the Channel Tunnel only carries rail traffic.

Completely agree. I'd be tempted to put up some Rust code if the contribution pipeline wasn't such utter crap (yes yes it was good for it's time, but that was decades ago). But I won't be putting up any code either way u

You can! I needed to run some realtime networking stuff on an isolated core and followed this [1] I used Windows 11 and the two cores I isolated show no CPU usage in task manager until you run something that's pinned to those cores. [1

Built into `cargo`, I'd recommend `cargo tree`, `cargo tree -i` and/or `cargo tree --duplicates` to figure out where certain types of dependency tree bloat are.

We use it a bit for https://github.com/embedded-graphics/embedded-graphics and I have to say I love it. It's just the right balance between configuration variables/constants and "a folder full of bash sc

I always get a bit excited when I see a righto.com post. An excellent read as usual.

If you’re a library/tool author, please put a small code demo in the readme, or at least link to some. I’d like to see what the syntax looks like at a glance. I think it helps adoption for all projects, including this one.

I'm not affiliated in any way, but Dave Addey's book of the same name as the blog is fantastic. Highly recommended if you're into weirdly specific stuff like why there's specific text on the motion scanner Ripley uses in

As I understand it, the Quake RTX demo is fully ray traced but I could be wrong on that. The FPS isn’t super high but definitely playable.

More "mechanical" stuff like typos in payload fields and deserialisation is MUCH safer (and more pleasant with the derives!) due to the benefits of Rust's type system, but broader stuff like authenticating requests and user r

Just to throw some anecdata back at this overly broad statement, I use Rust full time at work and maintain some embedded crates with moderate download numbers. I suppose I mustn't exist then?

Still reasonably early days like the rest of the ecosystem, but there is good support for a lot of ATSAMD and ATSAME devices here ( https://github.com/atsamd-rs/atsamd ). I'm not very familiar with the ATSAM* series

It might not help judge performance for individual tasks, but PassMark's CPU listings ( https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php ) should help with relative performance. The results have a multi- and single- core score

`cargo-outdated` is mint. If you haven't already, consider installing `cargo-edit` too! It adds `cargo add`/`cargo rm` to add/remove crates, as well as `cargo upgrade` to bump semver versions. https://github.com&#x

I've used date-fns ( https://date-fns.org/ ) with good success. The import structure allows for pretty good tree shaking. It's really good if you only want to format a date in like 2 places in a huge app - don'

Perhaps not a timelapse in the traditional sense, but Gource ( https://gource.io/ ) is a fun way to watch a Git repo evolve.

Won’t be any economy left if the planet is made uninhabitable. It’s like the most sacred thing is profit, not anything about the people that create it. Very odd train of thought.

I moved over to Fastmail from ProtonMail a few weeks ago. I think if you value the encryption and privacy and don’t mind the lack of basic stuff like threading in the mobile app or IMAP integration, ProtonMail is fully worth it. That said,

It's _really_ good for Twitter posts. Formatting is non-existent, so sharing an image is unfortunately the best way to do it in-feed. Links to Gists, etc are the best if you don't mind leaving Twitter for sure. That said, if image
