Self-documenting Code
  • I agree, this is an anti-pattern for me.

    Having explicit throw keywords is much more readable compared to hiding flow-control into helper functions.

    .dev It's time to return to the roots, to the C programming language.
  • That's right. Let's return to basics, to the first programming language we learn as developers: Pascal. Well at least I have, I assume everyone does too.

    It's official, Rust is an anti C/C++ elitist slur
  • That's a valid argument, but a very weak one. If we are not completely sure something is an improvement in all aspects are we just to dismiss it altogether?

    Inconceivable!
  • This logic is not sound. Why couldn't be the case that only one religion is right?

    Three people looking at a triangle might have different opinions about what shape it is. It is inconceivable that they are all right, but that does not imply that they are all wrong.

    Fraction of our power.
  • Oh, special powder adds so much to scout gameplay! The other day I tried using some other secondary weapon and I've realized I'm half as mobile as I'm with special powder. And it's so much fun!

    Praetorian.
  • First time hearing this got me really worried:

    Hrm, this doesn't look good... We've just picked up a group of Praetorians heading your way. Dig in, team.

    But this one gave a bad feeling in the gut:

    Something big is headed your way. Better prepare for the worst.

    Why YAML sucks?
  • This is the major reason for me. I really liked yaml, because it is way more readable to me than JSON. But then I kept finding new and more confusing yaml features and have realized how over-engineered it is.

    Yaml would be great language if it had its features prunned heavy.

    Stealing?
  • They've lost potential revenue, but that is not the same as if amazon would come to their house and had stolen their only rucksack prototype.

    Potential revenue is not your property.

    It still sucks though.

    Matrix let-down
  • It works great for a closed group of people, all on one instance. Another data point that federation is hard.

    Which is more important for rust compilation: higher number of cores or faster single core performance?
  • Oh, i have to try these out to see if it effects my development cycle. I do notice that cargo check is super fast, but cargo build takes a long time. So codegen and linker could be the source of slowness.

  • I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

    The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

    I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

    But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

    What's your usage? What do you host?
