I was immediately reminded of this old piece on water quality issues and local politics... > An Enemy of the People [..] is an 1882 play [..] that [..] centers on Dr. Thomas Stockmann, who discovers a serious contamination issue in his t

I've been playing around with Zig as a potential C alternative in my stack, and I think that it's pretty good at least for toy/learning projects actually. I especially like the way `comptime` gives me superpowers. Before Rust

The site's source code is already updated, but unfortunately the website itself is refreshed per Rustup release, so we might have to wait for a bit longer...

Thanks for sharing the experience! At Rustup we're also getting ARM64 Windows-related requests recently, so I'm very curious about how well these machines actually do as a daily dev workstation. Looks like your Yoga 7x performs ev

This reminds me of one issue that I've encountered at Rustup. Early versions of ARM64 Pi OS actually use a 32-bit userland. As a result, this has caused user complaints since our installer sees a 64-bit kernel and will happily download

As a current Rustup maintainer with a bit of Ada background I gotta say: nice work! I do feel Ada as a language is way ahead of its time, but when I was learning it (a while before the first Alire release) I was also puzzled by dev environm

Many thanks for this book! Think Python 2nd is the first book I've ever read in order to teach myself programming. Now I've come a long way to become an actual developer shipping real products and have certainly learned a whole lo

Rust dev here. I really love the fact that most of the time people from the Golang community would like to say "look what I've made with Golang!" That's the sign of success: the users (here I mean general devs) should no

I have also encountered this quite often. I'll say the ideal solution would be "postfix streaming methods" like `.filter` and `.map`. Unfortunately, Python doesn't have those (prefix `filter`s and `map`s are not even clo

The last time I gave F# a shot, I tried to write a simple Telegram bot in it. Just to test how much I would actually benefit from the .NET ecosystem, I chose to use a C# wrapper for the Telegram API. Suddenly I had to handle null references

Indeed, that has been a real problem, so now you can probably write `private Dictionary<RoadPlate, List<RoadPlate>> road = new();`.

Exactly. I recently started to write some LEAN which uses a ton of Unicode characters and I still use JetBrains Mono with ligatures on. ≠ is 1 unit wide but != is 2 units wide, so it's not that confusing as one might think. Besides, if

As a PDM enthusiast for quite a while, I'm sorry to inform you that PEP 582 has been officially abandoned (which doesn't mean that it won't be revived someday, just not so easily). https://discuss.python.org/t

Agreed. It seems to me that doctests (i.e. code examples in docs that also count as tests, common in Python and Rust codebases) can possibly cover parts of this.

However the borrow checker is not only about new/delete, it also prevents other forms of reference invalidations (e.g. when holding a reference to a vector element while appending to the vector, that reference can become invalid when t

With VSCode there doesn't seem to be such a technical limit. See: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sean10.m...

I love to see that Helix tries its best to ensure an out-of-the-box experience, as well as to add so many interactive hints for key combinations (for example when you want to paste in insert mode with C-R it’ll immediately list a set of reg

Instead of enums, how about something similar to Scala's sealed trait syntax to tell the compiler that I'm actually doing a static dispatch?
