erichdongubler··on Ask HN: What are good genealogy/family history/immigration search engines?
> The idea salvation can only occur if you were lucky enough to have your genealogy recorded is far removed from mainstream Christianity.

As a practicing member of the religion in question, this phrasing misrepresents what we believe will happen if records are missing. I don't have a reference to material on hand (am on mobile), but our belief is that during the millennium after Christ's second coming, much work will be dedicated towards recovering records of individuals who were "lost", even by miraculous means if necessary. This is possible in part because such individuals themselves will have been resurrected.

erichdongubler··on Show HN: Cleanvoice – Automated Podcast Editing
I'm a very happy user of the free tier of Descript right now, and will definitely pay once my transcription limit is reached.

It seems like this particular product might do a better job of the automated editing specifically, but Descript has a ton of other features (speaker identification, transcription, real-time editing based on text edits, asset management, and uploads), and I definitely wouldn't trade them for marginally better auto-removal of noise and filler.

Does anybody who develops Cleanvoice have any commentary here?

erichdongubler··on Resource efficient Thread Pools with Zig
Does this already use `target-cpu=native`? Not sure if that would be apples-to-apples with the Zig implementation (which is what's important here), but I'd be surprised if it didn't yield some interesting wins.
erichdongubler··on Discord Launches Threads
Hmmm, I wonder how Flowdock's threading implementation compared with Zulip's?
erichdongubler··on Technical interview methods pale in comparison to playing Factorio with someone
Honest question: is that fundamentally any different than building skills by imitating StackOverflow solutions or studying principles and patterns to build knowledge? I would view those as respective software development analogues, though there's definitely room for disagreement, particularly for very deep problem and solution spaces.

erichdongubler··on Using Microsoft Word with Git
Has anybody used SimulDocs[0], which sells itself as a "version control for Microsoft Word documents"? I've been really curious if it's a decent solution in this space, but I tend to keep myself away from Word docs in my life recently.

erichdongubler··on Colorize Your CLI
I myself have really enjoyed `delta` and the variety of configuration it has: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
erichdongubler··on Linux kernel in-tree Rust support
You're right, I didn't distinguish between overall compile times and the front-end time taken, which is what you were focusing on. For the Rust toolchain, the (vast IIRC) majority of compilation time is in LLVM's backend. So, to me, front-end optimizations are interesting, but not the highest priority for Rust specifically. LMD seems to be a great thing to compare against, so here's my follow-up question: What's the proportion of front-end to back-end time in LMD?
erichdongubler··on Linux kernel in-tree Rust support
It's important to note that run-time tradeoffs were made in the interest of fast compilation speed. When it comes to optimizing code emitted from D source, it's important to leverage the alternate implementations from GCC or the LLVM-based LDC...which don't sport nearly as fast compiles as DMD, the reference D compiler.

Interested in looking for making the Rust ecosystem grow, esp. in domains where C/C++ are used right now (I find FFI and resource constraints exciting). If you want a Rust expert and somebody to ramp up others on it, pick me! I've got a broad and deep skillset that makes me especially suited for mentorship, navigating your software ecosystem, and learning your domain fast.

erichdongubler··on 500K bet on rock paper scissors ruled invalid by Quebec court
You can have the money and still decide that you can beat the interest from mortgage with another investment, i.e., stocks. So, that's not necessarily indicative of a financial standing. :)
erichdongubler··on OpenSSL high-severity bug – affects 1.1.1d, 1.1.1e, 1.1.1f
This is a good question. Also important to remember is that for many Linux distributions dynamically linked OpenSSL artifacts are what end up getting used by the vast majority of binaries.
erichdongubler··on C++20 Reference Card
Thanks. I really don't want another newsletter in my email inbox!
erichdongubler··on Firefox 69.0 Released
Two things about that in reply to your comment:

1. Right now Firefox Monitor uses your Firefox account for signups. For somebody like me who already has a Firefox account, I don't see a net difference in risk here.

2. If you don't want to make one, then Monitor is transparent in that they just use https://haveibeenpwned.com under the hood (source: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-monitor-faq#w_h...), which doesn't require anything more than submitting your email and passing their Google captcha. It's unfortunate that they're not more forthcoming about this, but the option is there.

erichdongubler··on The Future of Docker Desktop for Windows
In the meantime, have you checked out MSYS2? It's the best option I've found for a *nix toolchain until WSL2 arrives. :)
erichdongubler··on Why Hashbrown Does a Double Lookup
Uh...this is what Rust uses currently. ;)
erichdongubler··on Case Study: Npm uses Rust for its CPU-bound bottlenecks [pdf]

erichdongubler··on The internals of testing in Rust in 2018
Shameless plug: you can have D-ish testing blocks with a macro I published on https://crates.io as `adhesion`: https://github.com/erichdongubler/adhesion-rs
erichdongubler··on Excel Adds JavaScript and Power BI Support
That's...very different from making a promise, though.
erichdongubler··on Is it worth supporting Firefox?
Have you tried clicking the vertical bar that spans the comment and its children right underneath the voting buttons?
erichdongubler··on Mermaid: Markdown-like generation of diagrams and flowcharts from text
GraphViz in the browser was made possible by `emscripten`, which is essentially a JavaScript compiler target. In that sense, there's not a implementation in a language besides C++ that's gotten much traction.
erichdongubler··on Storyboarder: free, cross-platform storyboard tool
This is odd because the "download link" that gets mailed seems to be a MailChimp email subscribe link too. What the heck? I wanted a download link, not a subscription to whatever marketing you want to send my way later...
erichdongubler··on Niko Matsakis: Lessoned learned from Rust's “impl period”
AFAIK, the Libz Blitz was a totally separate program as part of the overall execution for the 2017 plan, much like the `impl period` itself.
erichdongubler··on Virtual Keyboard Developer Leaked 31M Client Records
Not the GP, but...yes. ;)
erichdongubler··on Vim plugins and config walkthrough
I've done some research, as I have the same interest. I know that `neovim` allows clicks on non-tab elements -- I think something akin to `vim-wintabs` and `neovim` might get what you want.
erichdongubler··on Learning Rust with Entirely Too Many Linked Lists
And those are...?

It's hard to refute or agree with you when I don't know what you're talking about. :)

erichdongubler··on Interesting Codebases
I've actually done undergraduate research with AOSA, and by far it was the most interesting to analyze the differences and commonalities in architectural approaches between FOSS projects with similar domains.
erichdongubler··on Git git git git git
That's actually EXACTLY what I had in mind. The fast version is so much better! :)
erichdongubler··on Git git git git git
Hey, don't forget about zsh with a highlighting plugin! :)
