I dabble in "life storage" and your comment made me think that some sort of executable shipped alongside backup locations to read the data, if in some deduplicated backup form, seems valuable. Eg Camlistore/Perkeep had…

Heck if it's a general purpose web app - ie not only Chrome, maybe give Tauri[1] a try? [1]: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
How useful would that book (IPv6 Address Planning) be to someone not working specifically in networking/ops? I like developing applications and i manage, of course, my home network. I'd love a book that gives me…
Hash Map/Set keys is a common one, for example.
So i agreed with you until: > I'd certainly classify that as addictive behavior -- i.e. when a healthy young man is more interested in what's on his phone than he is in the attractive woman sitting across the table from…
I don't know much about Starlink, but isn't one point of Starlink that eventually it could even beat wired connections for distance latency? Ie it's a shorter and more direct trip to use Starlink to get from US West to…
It's not a security risk. The security risk was removed, and the provided feature is an expensive workaround to avoid the security risk.
I gave an example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27909949 But in addition to that, 1-3 seconds per click is horrible imo. I have to literally pause, and slow down my workflow, because every input (navigation…
> Sometimes I don't understand what's going on in the heads of the people thinking this stuff up :/ So this post made me look up[1][2] COOP/COEP, but as far as i can tell this seems to be a security measure. Seemingly…
I could agree with you from a UX-flow perspective, but the tech is so shoddy that i loathe it. Everything is a "web 2.0" monstrosity of load times and popin. Open the wrong link and it takes you 40 seconds for…
Man, i feel like i'd miss so many interesting topics. Do you think this same goal might work if you limited it to, say, 10 bookmarks? Survival of the fittest, you always compare it to the rest and if it's good enough,…
Wow i'm going to have to try this sometime. That looks impressive. Anyone here try it before? How well does it work?
This looks cool! I'm writing an immutable data store, with my own hashes as IDs; I wonder how viable it would be to use IPFS CID's as my IDs? I expect the trouble there would be how the data is chunked. If IPFS…
I don't know this field, perhaps my bar is low because of Python lol, but Go's GC has very short GC pauses. So short that it makes non-GC'd usecases less attractive imo. My big issue with Go's GC, or GC's in general, is…
Curious, why do you want a GC'd Rust? I imagine there's something about Rust that you feel would be improved with a GC?
> I don't mean saying something like "our tech stack is in Rust." More like "3-5 years experience in Rust" under the job requirements. I think i addressed this in my edit. We are not doing this.
Your 25k cards interest me. I've long hoped to merge the concepts of knowledge base and retention. I love knowledge bases, but i want them to aid and augment my natural retention. Can you speak about how you use the 25k…
> But for Rust, looking for language experience might be the right choice since the learning curve is relatively steep and takes time. Unless, of course, the company is okay giving 2 months to just learn. Yea, this is…
For me it was things that aided user(dev) experience, and that was primarily things like iterators, enums, and functional patterns like maps (in the robust stdlib), good crate ecosystem. That made a huge DX improvement…

There is no illusion of safety. It's 100% safe, within the code you right, if you don't use unsafe. If there is unsafe in code you use (write or shared), it's a handful of lines which you can nearly grep for it's so…
Well damn, i had no idea about Wez. I really miss Ligatures with Alacritty, so i should give Wez a try. Thanks for the link!
> both available but the whole point of nix is to let go of this notion of versioning To be clear, i'm on NixOS and i use Flakes to manage my imports. Letting go of versioning feels like nonsense. I need to write my…
But you still have to look up the individual values right? I'm using Flakes, pinning commit hashes is automatic (lockfile) - but i still have no clue what version any package is on. As with a lot of comments about…
