Just looking at the examples, you can tell that they wouldn't compile: the other structs passed in don't derive the trait as well, nor implement it. It's really simple, not broken.…

Whelp, that's one less application that I feel compelled to make

Definitely the most likely

The developer could use the cupertino framework for iOS releases, but usually choose not to.

46 here and broadly experienced across multiple stacks. My last job ended 3 months ago and the market has been rough in the US at least. I struggle to get interviews. It’s not just…

I have a hard copy of this one. Definitely a favorite!

There are at least two implementations there on that page: - One in typescript - One in rust

I was homeschooled back in the 90’s and it was all on me to teach myself. Have things really changed?

Thanks! Ordered

I just had my first week last week. Took a startup first engineer position and I’m not regretting it!

I would work for a decentralized platform and a video game that would run on it. The platform and the video game work hand in hand and have been planned since 1996, but I’ve never …

Hacker spaces are the most relevant, when tech crashes are happening or tech hype is high: it’s important to have a community of people to simply hack with; to lean on each other i…

This may seem useless, but stop questioning yourself: make a choice, wrong or right, and stick with it. Making a choice, and learning to work around the consequences, is one of the…

My kids say otherwise…

AltaVista was absolutely great! I got way more interesting content through them! Their death was a real loss that finally forced me to use Google, and not for the better.

I would NEVER want a setup like you are proposing. Those are awful ergonomic!

The great resignation was mostly about us who could survive a paycheck or two, leveraging the chaos to demand our value: if the current employer wouldn’t pay it, others would. We d…

Mindless distraction is exactly what you turn to when your efforts to better your life become too monumental to bear: lifespans shorten because destitution drives people to apathy …

Exactly. Rust is actually a loser in this due to the lack of a fleshed out stdlib.

I have extreme test anxiety (part of my anxiety disorder). Even as a software engineer of 25+ years, I still fail live code tests more frequently than I like. I’m just happy that I…

In the US, doing the latter is a tax write off and perhaps enough to give you a stimulus.

Doom scrolling tonight (because I couldn’t sleep anymore) I found the end of the HN rainbow. Apparently it’s 20 pages…

I agree. I’ve been developing with Rust since pre 1.0. I call developing in Rust, developing by guess work (or where to put the next clone(), unwrap(), Box ). It’s nearly impossibl…

You are not getting it right: he specifically excludes himself from the category of genius. What he bemoans is the languishing of his ideas and posits that, despite the several int…
