We are using it to write Express (node.js) middleware via Neon ( https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon ). This has a few key benefits: * Progressively introduce Rust instead of rep…

The `miscreant` library also does this: https://github.com/miscreant/miscreant . It's really effective. For example, any method that requires a one time pad takes ownership. This a…

Interestingly, I was able to get an amazing speed improvement without going completely to Rust. I didn't want to port APM code as well, so I kept node.js/express for routing. Very …

It's a play on "The Twelve-Factor App" https://12factor.net . https://3factor.app/#comparison-to-12factornet

This. I'll also add that in the world of things like Docker and [Insert]CI you don't need to mock most external dependencies like databases.

It's interesting that this went _beyond_ a prank. Almost the definition of "fake it until you make it."

> "...review design docs" In my opinion, one of the most important and most difficult parts of the job. Architecture and design shouldn't be limited to senior engineers--it won't b…

I like the use of "unsafe" for something that you don't want to reach for first. Those who are new get a very clear warning and those who aren't have had the opportunity to underst…

FWIW, I just checked and they don't use an iFrame approach. This means their entire checkout page must be in scope for SAQ-D.

Unfortunately, PCI does not put very many restrictions on the parent website. If credit card elements are in an iFrame, the parent site is excluded from most requirements because t…

They may also be uncertain what another driver will do. For example, turning right onto a two lane road may be safe if the right lane is open. However, despite it not being legal, …

About as confident as I can be without having insight into their perspective. I'm mostly referring to right turn on red scenarios where I'm not comfortable with the risk. Although,…

Every single time someone honks at me for this, I'm tempted to stay in place longer than necessary. Fortunately--most of the time--I think better of being this petty and passive ag…

A blog discussing the handling of this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17786791

I recommend using a threshold of at least 2 stars. It's fairly common to star your own repo to improve visibility.

What I found most interesting about this write-up is that most of the speed-up in the CSS parsing came from parallelism and that parallelism was attempted many times on the C++ wit…

I've heard this called "bunny code." It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it'll reproduce.

Despite earning marginally more than minimum wage, being a lifeguard is still the happiest I've ever been at a job.

You can wrap up the build and the copy with a multi-stage docker build. Something like the following. FROM rust:latest RUN rustup target install x86_64-unknown-linux-musl COPY . /s…

I highly recommend using multi-stage builds to move the rust binary to a clean container. The rust build tool chain is fairly heavy and is unnecessary at runtime. It can be as simp…
