Quantum number of dependencies for the uuid crate? By default it actually has none. If you were to enable the `v4` feature, it only pulls in `getrandom` for platform independent rng. All other dependencies are disabled by default or are dev

You could make the exact same argument for something like git. Yet everybody would be totally fine if their remote/origin is down for a couple of hours. Offline support is about bridging smaller periods of being unconnected while still

Lovely. > This page is copyright 2005 by Graeme Cole. What are you allowed to do with it? Pfft. Anything within the realms of common sense, really. I don't want to prescribe rigidly what people can and can't do with it, so I&#

I would make a distinction between managing memory (malloc, free) and then subsequently handling said memory in a safe manner. The first part Rust does for you. The second part you'll indeed have to do yourself and the compiler will fo

Literally the whole point of rust is to not do manual memory management and let a compiler handle that for you.

I'm not sure what the relevance of your example is regarding your question. Aside from that, how did you come the to the conclusion that the second project is 'lacking when it comes to good programming'? Just because you didn

I immediately closed the tab away as soon as it asked if I was sure.

This hits home. Manytime have I come to appreciate a library or technology only after delusionally attempting to create a 'better' version. Mid attempt I actually start to understand the problem space, at which point I humbly and

It's not just about upsetting the other person, it's more about the end goal. If the end goal is to express superior knowledge, do strike down your hammer of truth. But if the end goal is to enlighten the people around you, and le

Using ballast in port operations is significantly different then using ballast while sailing especially for offsetting a non static moment. Container vessels are designed to sail at a very specific draught. The bulbous bows on most containe

Exactly. Compiler developers wrote the logic for the errors you see, they (mostly) have the knowledge to explain the error, why do we need a language model trained on all this derived information, when it could be provided upfront together

Firstly I think the most important thing in engineering is nothing is free. If you change a parameter in your design something else has got to give. If you increase the cargo capacity of a plane it is probably going to have a slower cruisin

This exactly. There are many ways to remodel a bathroom. Some more optimal than others. Now imagine your plumber tells you he discovered a better layout for the plumbing just after finishing his work, then he enthusiastically asks if he cou

What ever model works for a group of people producing software I'm fine with. But as someone else said in this thread: If the question is more about who provides the estimate and less about why is there an estimate (also plenty of opin

We're performing applied mathematics, but we're performing that task as engineers. The key is in 'applied'. Going from theory to practice takes planning and is not as unbounded as performing science in my opinion.

As someone who moved from a practical engineering field into software engineering, this separation in tasks between management and developers seems weird. Engineering in general is about finding a local optimum in a multidimensional problem

Rust actually accomplishes this with the unit '()' type which is similar but not the same as void in other languages. Any statement (or expression) produces a value, sometimes that value is just a unit, which can be passed around
