love2read··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
what language are you referring to here?
love2read··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
javadoc.io is similar in the fact that it lists things I guess? It looks worse (objective) but is also depended on a lot less so is just by default going to be a second thought. It’s also not auto-generated like docs.rs like you said.

the problem is that when you write enough <1kloc projects, a couple of them are useful enough to stay used in which case you are now maintaining python in prod.

The real problem is that this compiles without error
love2read··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
“There’s no specific tooling to catch this, because nobody[…]”. So? This is a standard library/language feature, which is usually the first place people go for features in the language. To say that nobody uses it is stupid.

comparing these examples to “grabbing a knife by the blade” equates writing code that looks right to picking up a sharp and jagged object with your hands that would obviously hurt and will hurt once you hold it.

It’s more like picking up a fork and being surprised to find out that it’s burning hot without any visible difference.

It seems weird to shame someone for talking about their own experience?
love2read··on Goodbye to All That – My Resignation from the FBI
> On May 31 of this year, in a series of phone calls beginning at nine in the morning and ending that afternoon, the newly installed Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Norfolk Field Office, Dominique Evans, made clear to me that, at the direction of Dan Bongino, my career with the organization had—for all intents and purposes—come to an end.

Doesn’t sound like a resignation

love2read··on Malware found on NPM infecting local package with reverse shell
The fact that http fetches and fs reads don't prompt the user are continually the craziest part of the `npx` and `package.json`'s `postinstall`.

Does anyone have a solution to wrap binary execution (or npm execution) and require explicit user authorization for network or fs calls?

Saw this on twitter, it’s fun! The creator noted that it’s engineered to work well on mobile phones and I’d agree, I wish more websites were this smooth :)

For an example of how this is used when setup: https://wiki.fabricmc.net/tutorial:mixin_examples
love2read··on Compiling C to Safe Rust, Formalized
C2Rust is mentioned in the second paragraph of the related work section.
love2read··on I added some optimizations to my compiler that turns Lisp into JavaScript
I did a similar thing in opposite order, I compile js to scheme. https://github.com/u9g/js2scheme/blob/main/example.js

Not a serious project, made purely because I had a class that mandated writing scheme for the homeworks.

I think the coolest thing to come out of that project was that I learned that it is possible to convert branching if statements to lisp constructs. That was a fun project :)

Done, thanks!
love2read··on Writing a Minecraft server from scratch in Bash (2022)
This website is the one of the rare times where safari’s reader mode that changes the font was super nice to read.
love2read··on Was Rust Worth It?
It really depends on what your previous programming experience is, if you can state which languages you know now, someone can give a better response to this.
love2read··on Was Rust Worth It?
I heavily appreciate the simplification of the memory model. I was able to go from comfortable with typescript/js to comfortable with rust with essentially zero knowledge of manual memory allocation in just a few months.

love2read··on Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
My immediate thought is the design isn’t there yet. Maybe the tool is but people also pick tools based on how they look, and this could take a facelift before mass marketed.
