If you follow the best practices for using Cargo you don't have a Cargo.lock file for libraries. This means your library tests will not be deterministic. Using the Cargo.lock file for libraries does solve this, but then every binary pa

Well, now you can do that in Cargo as well :-) What we do currently is we lock everything to an explicit version - even libraries. At least it's possible to get deterministic builds if you are willing to do a bit of work carefully &#x2

I built myself a setup like this a few years ago. Everything about it seemed glorious - but I soon started having trouble with the back of my head. I never noticed how heavy my head was before. I started to have dizziness problems because o

I haven't read anywhere that they failed. Isn't the timeline: - Akamai mitigates attack just fine - After the attack is over, Akamai does the cost/benefit analysis and decides to stop providing the free service.

The first day in radar class the instructor put a piece of steel wool in front of a small dish and it instantly melted white and dropped molten metal onto the floor. It always made me nervous when the class goofballs turned the horns on oth

I think it's an inside joke: 2 people bet each other a dollar they could take a fundamentally simple concept and wax poetic insanity around it until the text was so insane no one could actually read through it - so people just shrug, w

Amazing Rust announcements (core and third party) have been coming in constantly for quite a while now. So much win.

Yeah, I can't help but feel like I'm just 'walking the spreadsheet'. I do find helping my kids to 'save the world' is still enjoyable! Losing to my 12 y/o daughter at Rocket League (seriously trying my har

As part of a recent project I had to: - build an AST from a large and complicated DSL - transform the AST into something that could be compiled into a DSO. I chose to write both parts in Rust. Fwiw the semantics of the language really didn&

Your 8-bit adder will have to wait ~225 CLKs (possibly x 2) to get the data it needs to add. Add a ton of transistors to intelligently prefetch and cache will in some cases decrease those 225 CLKs. A great deal of transistors are added to c

Where I work client auth is used for a good (and growing) number of internal services. Client auth is simple to use - our internal services are given the username from the CN, which they use to perform authorization checks. For a lot of sim

I'm just now completing a rather large event-driven system in Rust. It's also callback-based and has to interoperate with C. I do struggle with the ownership rules sometimes but it's pretty much always because I'm clashi

I quit doing the survey when I read the color question. If you had worded it something like, 'do you feel welcome' I would have answered (yes) and kept going.

Memory is terribly expensive and I have to fight all of the other developers/product folks/upper management for every byte in my environment (hundreds of thousands of servers). I have no choice but to use DSOs for our Rust code.

I wonder if times are changing again. It just seems that meeting vendors or walking down the street for resistor strips is no longer necessary. Rationale: you now just need to bulk order the raw materials / components and "feed th

Incredibly impressive! I solved this. The center required all of my soldiers to be maxed out, and all of them carrying lasers. Iirc... it feels like several lifetimes ago... I'd give it a go but after moving about 15 times there's

What about for using it as a headless browser with javascript and Rust manipulation of the DOM? We have a http proxy that would like to analyze html responses and rewrite parts of the page. Is servo ready for that or should we use something

I've always felt that if I had done all of my calculus with Mathematica I would have left college with an excellent grasp on how to use higher level functions provided by Mathematica that would have largely abstracted away all of this.

I randomly lie about my gender, age, and anything that could be used to identify me. I learned this from others, and have also encourage my spouse/children/etc. to do the same (which they seem to do). There is no compelling reason

Ok, just to summarize: foo(some_struct) == memcpy() for both copy and move. foo(&some_struct) == copy usize ref/pointer value onto stack So, mostly the same as C++. The exception is that Rust can use a ref under the hood for foo(so

Here's something I find confusing about Rust references/borrowing. Please correct me: The '&' character does not seem to mean 'pass by reference' ala C++ - it simply means borrow. Put another way, using &#x

I completely agree. unwrap() is a huge mistake in Rust. There are brilliant ideas implemented in Rust (primarily the borrow checker) but their advantages seem to be wiped out by the kludge of unwrap.

What helps today is skipping the translation phase (syntax checking only) using rustc -Z no-trans. This makes the edit/fix syntax cycle 20x faster. A way to configure this in vim: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust&#x2F
