If I was writing no-alloc production code, I would stick with Rust, FWIW, at least until Go's library ecosystem improves. I don't mind writing Rust (have been dabbling with it since ~2014), especially with some AI assistance. It&#

I touched OCaml several years ago and ran into a bunch of problems with build tooling, standard library, syntax noise, ideological/unhelpful community, etc that turned me off. I'm also just not experienced enough to write OCaml w

The lock screen widgets don't tell you much more than what you can get from looking outside. It's not very helpful to know that it's currently overcast and raining, but it would be a lot more helpful if I could know when the

If the app doesn't have any sensitive information, then yes. We already do this with home screen widgets today, so clearly there's no real barrier.

I've been having _a lot of fun_ writing Go apps that don't allocate anything and that use small, preallocated buffers to stream through requests/etc. Basically TigerStyle for Go. I don't use arenas, I just size everythin

Unrelatedly, I'm still trying to figure out why Apple requires me to unlock my phone to look at the weather. Is there some concern that someone could pick up my phone and learn what city it is in?

As an American, I wonder if Trump succeeds in giving away so much of America's economic and military power to other countries, will it make America a less interesting target for corrupting interests? Maybe the billionaires and foreign

This isn’t a thundering herd problem, it’s a cascading failure. (Thundering herd is about a bunch of workers waking up simultaneously)

I also just realized that delegating to “UntypedStateMachine” for I/O probably doesn’t allow for Sans-I/O, right? Presumably the UntypedStateMachine must commit to either being sync or async and that must propagate to the typestat

I think this makes sense. I’m eager to try it. Some residual questions: what is “untyped” in this case and what is “PostConditional” (an enum of possible states?)? How do subsequent transitions work?
18.
by throwaway894345 17d ago
How do you model cases where the reservation fails, where the inventory operation is already complete, etc? Basically conditional transitions based on some data received? Also, where does the actual I/O happen? Presumably there is some

by throwaway894345 18d ago
I’m probably doing it wrong, but when there’s a state with multiple transitions out, I can either model it as distinct methods per transition in which case the caller needs to know how to transition between states or I can have the caller p

I’ve been experimenting with Rust’s type state pattern—I’m trying to build something that builds an inventory of some object storage prefix (recording the version and size of each object in the prefix), but the pattern seemed so cumbersome.

Yep, it's crazy that people can correctly recognize that corruption is responsible for the current situation but fail to recognize that adding more corruption will not deliver us from it.

I mean, I understand the need for an escape hatch, but it’s strange to me that it’s the default and that it’s unsandboxed. Feels like build scripts should be treated like CGo in Go—a rare escape hatch that people strongly try to avoid so th

I don’t even understand what a capability based language is, but presumably closed source software wouldn’t apply here? Is it common for closed source software to give the source code to customers to build?
