We are using it to write Express (node.js) middleware via Neon ( https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon ). This has a few key benefits: * Progressively introduce Rust instead of replacing entire applications (Rust really

The `miscreant` library also does this: https://github.com/miscreant/miscreant . It's really effective. For example, any method that requires a one time pad takes ownership. This allows the borrow checker to valida

Interestingly, I was able to get an amazing speed improvement without going completely to Rust. I didn't want to port APM code as well, so I kept node.js/express for routing. Very simple middleware that immediately passed the requ

This. I'll also add that in the world of things like Docker and [Insert]CI you don't need to mock most external dependencies like databases.

It's interesting that this went _beyond_ a prank. Almost the definition of "fake it until you make it."

I like the use of "unsafe" for something that you don't want to reach for first. Those who are new get a very clear warning and those who aren't have had the opportunity to understand the nuances. React uses the term &qu

FWIW, I just checked and they don't use an iFrame approach. This means their entire checkout page must be in scope for SAQ-D.

Unfortunately, PCI does not put very many restrictions on the parent website. If credit card elements are in an iFrame, the parent site is excluded from most requirements because the iFrame is "secure." Of course, if you own the p

They may also be uncertain what another driver will do. For example, turning right onto a two lane road may be safe if the right lane is open. However, despite it not being legal, a driver in the left lane may change lanes mid intersection.

About as confident as I can be without having insight into their perspective. I'm mostly referring to right turn on red scenarios where I'm not comfortable with the risk. Although, the occasional honking immediately after a light

Every single time someone honks at me for this, I'm tempted to stay in place longer than necessary. Fortunately--most of the time--I think better of being this petty and passive aggressive.

I recommend using a threshold of at least 2 stars. It's fairly common to star your own repo to improve visibility.

What I found most interesting about this write-up is that most of the speed-up in the CSS parsing came from parallelism and that parallelism was attempted many times on the C++ without success.

I've heard this called "bunny code." It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it'll reproduce.

You can wrap up the build and the copy with a multi-stage docker build. Something like the following. FROM rust:latest RUN rustup target install x86_64-unknown-linux-musl COPY . /src WORKDIR /src RUN cargo b

I highly recommend using multi-stage builds to move the rust binary to a clean container. The rust build tool chain is fairly heavy and is unnecessary at runtime. It can be as simple as adding something like this at the end of your Dockerfi

I can think of a few benefits, even if it takes longer: you may need to do something similar again and now you have the script, you've gained experience and you might right the next script faster, correctness. I think correctness is th

I agree, but I think this also supports the parent argument. CS and EE are not very different at the undergraduate level.

+1 for Neon! The best part about Rust is that it changes this question to "what language AND Rust?" Node + Rust is a great experience.
