All of the things you mentioned are designed and tested incrementally. Furthermore software has been used on Mars missions in the past, and that software was also developed increme…

That’s a pretty solid endorsement. Where do you work?

Rust memory management is automatic. Object destructors run when the object exits scope without needing explicit management by the programmer

I made this app with Rust + React Native. It combines a puzzle game with a solver. While quite a lot of work went into UX, the solver is what I’m most proud of and was the first fu…

I built an iPhone app that is now available in the App Store. Its purpose is to make it easy and effective to use intermittent positive reinforcement as a motivation tool - the psy…

I recently had a recruiter from them email for hybrid positions with no remote so take that as you will Edit: 15 remote engineering positions open out of 219 total on their career …

Random Intermittent Reward (known as Variable Ratio Reinforcement Schedule in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis) is a powerful concept from psychology. It states that the incr…

This isn’t correct for a=5, b=0, c=0. It would return true while OP’s example would return false

Or you can call map_err to do an on-the-spot transformation if you don't have a general way to go from Error A to Error B. I still sometimes make mistakes reading rust code with th…

If you are measuring response in nanoseconds, 100 microseconds is still a lot. However, it may be good enough for games at well below 1% of your time budget for a 60 fps game assum…

In my experience they don't really stand out other than being a bit slow (for which it actually got ticketed). They seem to just be very conservative.

DDOS usually occurs via a botnet of infected networked devices. Thus, the attacker is getting their resources for "free" since their host is unknowingly wasting CPU and bandwidth d…

I read through the Rust book, and the problem I was having with it and the other docs is that it was hard to map the Rust concepts with what actually runs when it is compiled. For …

Suppose a company raised money at some implied valuation. If they raise money again at a lower implied value, you call it a down round.
