One annoying thing about cut is that it outputs the extracted fields in order of position, not the order you specify. Other that that it's great, I use it every day

Never before has a programming language received so much marketing. It's very odd.

It's mainly binary to JSON conversion, and firing that out over HTTP a few thousand times a second. That's the only IO. Goroutines look very interesting, and as I said, ASIO (C++ a…

It's very clearly anti-Trump (I live in the UK). As for the article, there's this part: "The president was criticised for ordering authorities to forcibly remove peaceful protester…

It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over. Now it's this.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I can't imagine working for either company, especially in SV. I would be walking on eggshells lest someone hear, or overhear, something 'toxic'…

To be honest, the only QT-using program I use is QT Creator.

It might be due to tax reasons if the remote workers are not contractors. This has been an issue for my UK headquartered employer

shared_ptr all the things? If so, they may as well write in Java.

Oh my good god. I'm hoping this is down to developer naivety rather than being a feature of rust.
