Well this interpretation certainly explains some of the reactions that word has gotten in my use of it!

I talked about this a little bit in the meetup talk I linked and I intend to write a bit more about this, but I'll try to summarize. There are kind of three prongs here: First, usi…

I use this word the way we did when I worked as a PC technician and help desker, where there's a lot of automation but then we sneak a bit of manual labor in to make it actually us…

great idea!

I currently do something pretty similar by using the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel to track the behavior of each benchmark function. In my early measurements I found concurren…

Each benchmark result is only compared against values from running on literally the same machine, actually. I agree that good results here would be extremely difficult to produce o…

Thanks! Not yet, but I am tracking this as a desired feature: https://github.com/anp/lolbench/issues/9 . The benchmark plan generation, storage keys, and results presentation will …

hi! author here if you want to ask questions or (nicely pls) let me know where I've made mistakes!

Do you have numbers for how much of the web avoids variable hoisting? How much of the web has more than one top-level fn per file? Do these numbers shift significantly between diff…

How is partial execution baked into JS? IIUC, my whole JS file is fully parsed an resolved before it is evaluated. If you're referring to the use of multiple files for parallelism …

It would be interesting to try for some apples-to-apples comparisons for the parse and initial exec time of js vs wasm. The latter was designed with the goal of streaming validatio…

Many types in the standard library do not consider it sound behavior to have their allocations freed by functions other than their own destructors: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/bo…

Re: non-thread-safe items in lazy_static, you can also wrap them in a mutex within just the lazy_static so the struct only uses synchronization when it actually needs to be thread-…

Rust's built-in lints are configurable with compiler directives, so you'll be able to add #![deny(bare_trait_objects)] To the top of your crate and cause a compiler warning if some…

There's not a lot of consensus about what primitves good *-native framework needs, implementations are often pretty tied to specifics of the JS libraries they were built to be driv…

FWIW, I read "To an outsider..." to mean "if you are reading this on HN and aren't involved in the community, this might seem like" as opposed to "I am pretending to be an outsider…

I'd actually be interested to find out how Cargo's performance compares in a situation as TheDong describes where all of the dependencies are being fetched directly from git. Part …

The official (I think?) youtube channel has them: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaYhcUwRBNscFNUKTjgPFiA .

I tend to agree, but I also think that there's a little bit of nuance here. For one thing, I have definitely enjoyed using a large standard library...when I didn't have access to c…

I recently found myself inserting &/*/ref/ref mut into match expressions before I'd even seen a compiler error. My first thought was "aha, look at how experienced I am with Rust no…

One might assume that not every user of HN has the same beliefs and motivations as the others.
