I added a navigation menu to the site (e.g., on https://ncameron.org/about). It appears when you scroll down on desktop and expanded from the hamburger on mobile. What do you think?
I wonder how to best describe how #RustLang influences design, for better or worse. Here is some rambling...
It makes you avoid cyclical data structures, and you are far more aware of ownership. This makes surprising action at a distance harder. It also makes it more difficult to misuse globals or struct fields as globals just to pass data along to where it is needed no matter how.
Enums turn out to replace dynamic dispatch very often. Inheritance is just gone.
So here's the thing with #Microsoft's new #Recall feature:
It's not about Microsoft now suddenly spying on you. They can probably already do that if they want in a much easier way without you knowing.
So please be more realistic!
The far more severe #privacy concern in the age of #remote work is when person A shares their screen and person B having Recall enabled, thereby "recalling" the other person's screen without person A knowing.
I am reading the rust for rustaceans book, but it’s not the end of all, I need to implement my learning. What could be the best, short and crisp way to utilise most of async and concurrent feature in a small application?
My goal is to get confident enough that I can build/contribute to something like #pingora or a database like #quadrant
As some of you may already know, I co-host the Rustacean Station podcast (https://rustacean-station.org/), especially the "What's New in Rust" episodes. And today, we're doing a live marathon episode to catch up on the past 7 Rust releases all in one go! No idea if it'll be interesting to follow along with, but come find out with us 😅
@jonhoo Thank you so much for this podcast, Jon! I always really enjoy this series you do with Ben!❤️ I really like the dynamic between you two. So much valuable insights one wouldn't get otherwise.
Totally random: I think Ben has the best laugh (seriously!). It is so contagious!😅🙂
@lily some time ago, I've written a macro that helps with matching on patterns that are commutative (as it involves duplicating the pattern "in reverse").
Does anyone else have the impulse to want to be the best version of yourself online, sometimes? Even if anonymous? More generous, accepting, warm, less argumentative, more constructive?
Not for reputation afaik, at least not consciously, but just to make everything a bit better? I don't always get this impulse (no saint here) but I have felt that.
Since so much discourse is about how the internet brings out one's dark side, I thought I would mention the opposite.
@faassen Oh absolutely! I assume (at least for me) it is, because I want to inspire others to do the same.
It's the same in the real world:
When you witness someone else helping another person, you are more likely to help another person that day. So everyone wins! Isn't that beautiful!?🥰
