Thanks for the heads up. Will think on this and will probably just document the polyfill.

Good catch. Will get that added today. github.com/howie-code/temporal-fun

Agreed. We've almost eradicated our usage of JS Date - fixing plenty of bugs along the way, and then I extracted thousands of lines of conversions and formatting from our productio…

Location: Seattle Remote: yes, but not necessary Willing to relocate: no Technologies: DevOps, Kubernetes, Rust, Ruby, Typescript, Svelte, VueJS Résumé/CV: https://anowell.com/port…

This is roughly my story with the added note that I find that Github activity inversely correlates to how much Netflix I watch. I currently average about 3hrs /wk of TV time and pr…

I am excited to write some Rust in the browser, and have been tinkering with what it might look to have a rust frontend framework with ergonomics comparable to what you might expec…

I've been wondering this myself, so thanks for the link. Looks like it lives under the label: "Proposals we might consider in the future". I've been building a [super early/experim…

(of course, I don't mean to undermine the argument for hesitating to jump to Arch on the grounds of maintenance. It certainly takes thinking about maintenance more often.)

fwiw, I find the long term support pretty minimal. I'm only slightly more conservative in my use of`pacman -Syu` than I would be with `apt-get dist-upgrade`. If I notice a kernel o…

You might checkout the literal optimizations that ripgrep does. IIRC, the underlying regex lib is optimizing a few classes of "simple" regexes with SIMD to achieve better perf than…

In addition to the other responses, the ecosystems around Rust ML (e.g. scientific computing) are still very early and the Rust ML community itself is still fairly small. Take a pe…

This is solid. I'm an engineer at Algorithmia, and this caught our attention as the sort of project we love to host as a service on our algorithm marketplace. We've already made no…

It would seem that your desire for a divine book is one that centers on human advancement and academic knowledge. If God's highest desire was for our self-advancement, perhaps the …

Speaking strictly of infrastructure costs, stripping away any other value of our marketplace and platform, ignoring an on-premise deployment of our platform that uses your own AWS …

The service operates at a higher level than EC2, and pricing is calculated on a per-second of compute basis. Comparing prices is going to depend a lot on the specifics of your work…

While I also generally prefer to choose open source services over closed source ones, it seems to me there is a place for both.... That said, over 75% of algorithms on the site are…

[As one of the developers in charge of this feature...] That's a fair question. Rust was a personal itch, but it also provided a good test for supporting native compilation while p…

It's a few years old at this point, but the 2013 Velocity talk "there is no talent shortage" is still one of my favorite resources on the topic: https://youtu.be/P_sWGl7MzhU

I spent an hour fighting with the Airport utility in WINE a couple months ago. It launched, but I had issues discoving the Airport. Eventually I caved and had a non-technical frien…

That would be me. Someone alerted me to the "30% worse than java" benchmark results, so I did some experimenting. It was my first attempt to optimize a bit of Rust, so I would love…

There's a lot of hate for whiteboard coding. Having been on both sides of whiteboard, code reading, and code pairing interviews, I like them all for different reasons: Code reading…

Great question. We currently only allow GPL-licensed algorithms to be open source as we continue to evaluate the best way to promote the virality of OSS licenses in compliance with…

While infrastructure usage cost is measured per second, algorithm developers currently set royalty costs per API call, so there is no incentive for stalling. We also provide a brea…

You have effectively described the AGPL restrictions that explain why we do not currently accept algorithms licensed under AGPL.
