nefasti··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
The "idiomatic Rust" thing rubs me the wrong way. If someone writes Rust that compiles and works, that's Rust. full stop. Telling people it doesn't count until it's "idiomatic" is just gatekeeping. It quietly says you're not a real Rust dev until you've put in years and absorbed all the unwritten rules, which shuts out exactly the people who are still learning. Everyone writes "non-idiomatic" code when they start. That's not a failure, that's how learning works. Even if being written by LLMs, the devs still will need to improve their knowledge to keep the codebase.

nefasti··on Designing a Dataflow Editor with TypeScript and React
"Our broader goal in writing this up was to illustrate some higher-level TypeScript features and type-driven design patterns in the practical context of modern web development."

Is type-driven design a think? For me it's just development ...

nefasti··on Playstation 5 review: Not just a more-powerful PS4
I wonder if we could hack/mod the airpod pro to gain access to their internal microphone, we could use it to create our own HRTF head model, probably what apple is doing to enable their version of spatial audio
nefasti··on Intake of saturated fatty acids and risk of coronary heart disease
Nope. Your metabolism is related to your current weight, unless you have some specific diseases. You probably don’t remember your actual activity level from the past.

nefasti··on Why forgiving someone else is about you
Sorry to hijack your answer here. But you pointed me to the pmohackbook, I read it, and it is helping me a lot. Thanks so much. (Couldn’t reply to older thread)
nefasti··on Why forgiving someone else is about you
“ For me personally, it feels oppressive to require anything from the person who wronged me. The fact that they wronged me indicates that perhaps they don't value my happiness as much as they should, and now my happiness is predicated on them acting the right way?”

Thanks for that. That is a powerful thought and did help me right now.

nefasti··on GitLab 12.5
I’ve set up teamcity, Jenkins, CircleCI for past projects and companies. Tried to use gitlab with all their built-in DevOps feature and found it extremely frustrating to get to a good setup.

nefasti··on Instagram now forces people to sign in to view public profiles
Good luck. I temporarily disabled my Instagram account and can’t recover it. The process is supposed to be just login again, but it hangs because I had two factor Authentication enabled. My account is now in a limbo. There is no proper support channel for this problem. And the form they provid for help on the app just give an “invalid parameters” when trying to submit, but the funny part is it’s hidden behind the iPhone X notch, only found the error because I took a screenshot. Instagram always been like this? or is this sign of Facebook tighter grip on it?
