Quantum number of dependencies for the uuid crate? By default it actually has none. If you were to enable the `v4` feature, it only pulls in `getrandom` for platform independent rn…

You could make the exact same argument for something like git. Yet everybody would be totally fine if their remote/origin is down for a couple of hours. Offline support is about br…

Lovely. > This page is copyright 2005 by Graeme Cole. What are you allowed to do with it? Pfft. Anything within the realms of common sense, really. I don't want to prescribe rigidl…

I would make a distinction between managing memory (malloc, free) and then subsequently handling said memory in a safe manner. The first part Rust does for you. The second part you…

Literally the whole point of rust is to not do manual memory management and let a compiler handle that for you.

Don't forget python and c++

I'm not sure what the relevance of your example is regarding your question. Aside from that, how did you come the to the conclusion that the second project is 'lacking when it come…

I immediately closed the tab away as soon as it asked if I was sure.

Probably some variation of WBNTH? (would be nice to have)

This hits home. Manytime have I come to appreciate a library or technology only after delusionally attempting to create a 'better' version. Mid attempt I actually start to understa…

It's not just about upsetting the other person, it's more about the end goal. If the end goal is to express superior knowledge, do strike down your hammer of truth. But if the end …

I would gladly use it

Using ballast in port operations is significantly different then using ballast while sailing especially for offsetting a non static moment. Container vessels are designed to sail a…

Exactly. Compiler developers wrote the logic for the errors you see, they (mostly) have the knowledge to explain the error, why do we need a language model trained on all this deri…

Firstly I think the most important thing in engineering is nothing is free. If you change a parameter in your design something else has got to give. If you increase the cargo capac…

This exactly. There are many ways to remodel a bathroom. Some more optimal than others. Now imagine your plumber tells you he discovered a better layout for the plumbing just after…

What ever model works for a group of people producing software I'm fine with. But as someone else said in this thread: If the question is more about who provides the estimate and l…

We're performing applied mathematics, but we're performing that task as engineers. The key is in 'applied'. Going from theory to practice takes planning and is not as unbounded as …

As someone who moved from a practical engineering field into software engineering, this separation in tasks between management and developers seems weird. Engineering in general is…

Rust actually accomplishes this with the unit '()' type which is similar but not the same as void in other languages. Any statement (or expression) produces a value, sometimes that…
