I read that article when it came out and thought it was well written and had good evidence and sources. It's the opposite of unhinged IMO, and explains a lot as to why Google is as…

"I was enjoying a beverage while travelling"

There is indeed: Bezier::compute_lookup_table[1]. You'll want to use a `TValueType` of `Euclidean` to get equidistant points. [1]: https://docs.rs/bezier-rs/latest/bezier_rs/struct…

I suppose they're being pedantic in that the Channel Tunnel only carries rail traffic.

Completely agree. I'd be tempted to put up some Rust code if the contribution pipeline wasn't such utter crap (yes yes it was good for it's time, but that was decades ago). But I w…

You can! I needed to run some realtime networking stuff on an isolated core and followed this [1] I used Windows 11 and the two cores I isolated show no CPU usage in task manager u…

Built into `cargo`, I'd recommend `cargo tree`, `cargo tree -i` and/or `cargo tree --duplicates` to figure out where certain types of dependency tree bloat are.

We use it a bit for https://github.com/embedded-graphics/embedded-graphics and I have to say I love it. It's just the right balance between configuration variables/constants and "a…

I always get a bit excited when I see a righto.com post. An excellent read as usual.

If you’re a library/tool author, please put a small code demo in the readme, or at least link to some. I’d like to see what the syntax looks like at a glance. I think it helps adop…

I'm not affiliated in any way, but Dave Addey's book of the same name as the blog is fantastic. Highly recommended if you're into weirdly specific stuff like why there's specific t…

As I understand it, the Quake RTX demo is fully ray traced but I could be wrong on that. The FPS isn’t super high but definitely playable.

More "mechanical" stuff like typos in payload fields and deserialisation is MUCH safer (and more pleasant with the derives!) due to the benefits of Rust's type system, but broader …

Just to throw some anecdata back at this overly broad statement, I use Rust full time at work and maintain some embedded crates with moderate download numbers. I suppose I mustn't …

Still reasonably early days like the rest of the ecosystem, but there is good support for a lot of ATSAMD and ATSAME devices here ( https://github.com/atsamd-rs/atsamd ). I'm not v…

It might not help judge performance for individual tasks, but PassMark's CPU listings ( https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php ) should help with relative performance. The resul…

I’ve been looking to switch to it. What’s bad about it?

`cargo-outdated` is mint. If you haven't already, consider installing `cargo-edit` too! It adds `cargo add`/`cargo rm` to add/remove crates, as well as `cargo upgrade` to bump semv…

I've used date-fns ( https://date-fns.org/ ) with good success. The import structure allows for pretty good tree shaking. It's really good if you only want to format a date in like…

Perhaps not a timelapse in the traditional sense, but Gource ( https://gource.io/ ) is a fun way to watch a Git repo evolve.
