seems like `cargo nextest run` just runs `--lib` tests by default? however, `cargo test` is not so slow if you do `cargo test --lib`. how do I get nextest to execute the doc tests, too?

redis is single-threaded but handles lots of connections (i.e. > 500) with much better performance vs. postgres. there's zero chance someone building postgres in 2025 would do one process per connection, I don't think there&#x2

From the article: > The real bottleneck is the single-threaded main loop in the postmaster. A single-threaded event loop can do a lot of stuff. Certainly handle 4000 tasks of some sort in under 10s. Just offhand it seems like it would be

ripgrep is one of the main reasons I got interested in rust. it worked so well, it piqued my interest that it was written in rust. many years later, very glad about that. been using `rg` daily since then as well!

imagine some people started using hammers as weapons, leading to some gruesome murders vividly depicted by the news. as a result, construction companies started advertising that this house was built without the use of ANY hammers. that&#x27

was expecting to see examples of python tests you would use, presumably for testing the rust code? like, how would writing the tests in python be easier?

unrelated rant, but I'm still salty about it. needed to send "raw" http requests instead of using their bloated sdk for reasons, and requests failed with "content-type: application/json" header, but succeeded w

like you I'm more open to the idea of keeping data in memory than most of the responders here. when I got to the part of the article about how they are using common lisp with hot reloading, I was thinking, well you guys can do whatever

enjoyed the article - provides a comprehensive tour of the benefits of deploying in a tmux session (seamless restarts via ctrl-c, up, enter). for super important stuff, a systemd unit is worth considering.
