Async ruined rust and I’ll stand by that until I die

I haven’t moved any goal posts - I’ve coded async rust and is miserable compared to normal rust with threads. That has been my point which is why I started down this project. My en…

Yes - brain fart.

You literally can't use one of the other async run times because of the current state of async/await does not allow library authors to easily write for multiple runtimes - they wer…

I completely disagree. Having to make sure every little function is Send + Sync + lifetime even if it doesn't need it is fucking hell. writing concurrent code with plain kernel thr…

Thank you for this! This is really helpful. The UMCG implementation allows kernel thread context switches to happen in 150-200 microseconds, compared to the 1500-2000 microseconds …

you’re talking to the core of the issue. In no other language did they try to satisfy the case of running on an embedded system vs general purpose computing. Async rust tried to, a…

I'll have to check my work computer on Monday. It was 8 cpu virtual machine on a m1 Mac. the UMCG and normal threads were 1024 set on the server, the Tokio version was 2 threads pe…

I have some test code that runs a comparison of Hyper pre-async (aka thread per request) vs async (via Tokio), and the pre-async version is able to process more requests per second…

There's an attempt to make linux kernel threads context switching much faster (150-200us vs 2500-3000us) and if that happens, I'll really hope the rust community pivots from Async …

null safety is very nice. But @Nullable and @NotNull annotations have worked very well for me so far.

If you're building tools that need to be deployed to machines, Go/Rust with their static binaries make a lot of sense. But for backend web services, it's hard not to go with Java i…

My company is trying to force Kotlin as the default, but I just prefer modern Java tbh. Kotlin is a very nice language, and I'd be fine with writing it, but modern Java just seems …

Java 21 is pretty damn nice, 25 will be even nicer. For your own application code, you don't have to use exceptions you can write custom Result objects and force callers to pattern…

It's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking deathwish

What part of the passage confirms GP's (who's GP?) statement? Again, I can't paste the entire 64 page bill in a hacker news comment. You have to do some effort to read the bill to …

I pasted a link to the bill for everyone to read. You're expecting me to paste the entire 64 page bill in a hacker news comment?

Why do you assume I'm gullible? just because I'm a bit more open-minded than you?

It's one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation in the last decade, and people just completely ignored it.

Why would some Von Newman probes colonize us instead of just observing?

We peaked in our radio frequency output in the 60s. It might be smarter to limit your technosignatures once you reach a certain point of technology.

It's not automatically assumed, and that's the conversation we're trying to change.

I apologize, I just had surgery a few days ago. My recovery isn't going as quickly as planned.. Now, I still recommend reading that proposed legislation because it sets the context…

You really think the Senate Majority Leader would risk his reputation on a 60 page bill that references "non-human intelligence" 20+ times a misdirection? The only misdirection I s…

Maybe if you would read the entire bill before commenting you'd realize that your comment is completely wrong.
