    I was skeptical of X-Pipe at first, but after setting it up to access a remote docker container running Postgres that wasn't listening on a publicly accessible port, I can say that…

    One nuance missing from the article is that since branded / tagged types extend from the base type, callers can still see and use string methods, which may not be what you want. Eq…

    I'm collecting a bit of a benchmark for rust bitstream libraries inside my own library[1], and I wasn't aware of yours, so I'll add it to the list this afternoon! [1]: https://gith…
