Nobody ever is. You’re forced into it by external events, and you either kinda make it work, or don’t. It was, after all, changing times and dumb moves by a mad despot that caused the US to revolt and form a country.

Supposedly Roy Cohn was startled by how easily he was discarded when he wasn’t useful anymore. Makes me wonder who will be the next in line with the knife.

Safer threading for performance improvements was part of it, as I understand.

https://github.com/clj-commons/rewrite-clj is an absolute superpower for this kind of thing, if you were using Clojure. It always saddened me it doesn't get more exposure.

As good as Rust is, I still feel there needs to be a "high-low" strategy for most biz/game code. You want to be able to depend on your low level abstractions, while constantly changing up how you fit them together.

Hs stuff is really cool. Building out a whole construction yard, vehicle by vehicle. Very worth a look if you haven’t seen it.

That’s really interesting, as a long time clojurist and recent rust user. Can you expand on that, or is it too early days?

Nerd sniped on the first entry. The first sentence of the first entry. The first minute of the video in the first sentence. The first comment in the video, etc.

If anyone was going to manage recursive, fractal, nerd sniping, it would be fogus, of course.

Rust also runs on picos and Esp32s, if that’s your jam.

May I ask if they are direct paper to screen transfers, or if there are specific features/apps that add extra value? I do a lot of work in (paper) engineering notebooks, and I'm curious about what improvements your workflow has.

This is a nicely in depth and enjoyable read, especially as a long time software engineer, who's recently become interested in raspberry pi's and microcontrollers.

Since devcontainer.json works fine on docker desktop, I usually use that, but I do use codespaces frequently for review and small patches, as well as exploring new libraries. I'm slowly adding devcontainers to the open source projects I work on. It's much nicer to have a docker compose file and several docker files in this setup than maintaining instructions on setting up test environments.

I've run k8s/k3s with docker-in-docker this way too. Really easy once you get it setup, and great for playing with architecture ideas.

Tamam?

Heh, the creator of Lisp probably was "God enough" to redef constants as he saw fit.

I always thought it was because AI dominated the shallow parts of the galaxy, but there was something that wouldn't let it expand down to the deep.
