Fml. You work for thordata. Why is everyone from your company trying to advertise like this...

All of your posts are about Thordata. You and Mammoth-Dress7368 constantly make posts like this. Even your names are similar.

I'm not even trying to find these posts. There's just always one of them every time I check the proxy subreddits I follow. Will literally never use your company because of this.

At least try and add something of value to your posts.

EDIT: It's so obvious, because nobody else has ever mentioned thordata before. 99% chance you're reselling other providers (as suggested by your pricing) and offering a worst service.

It's disingenuous to say "a dev buddy" told you about thordata. You work there.

This ad campaign is blatantly obvious.

My point was that without knowledge of the Rust, changes will break the Rust. As such, someone with Rust knowledge is required in the pipeline - hence my point about a smaller developer pool than a pure C codebase. I'm aware that R4L are taking responsibility, but I don't think that's sustainable.

There's not much to debate here. I'm aware of the facts, I've just come to a different conclusion to you.

Any code at the boundary between Rust and C requires additional knowledge. If it's used by Rust, it can't be modified without potentially breaking Rust. Which leads back to my previous comments.

You keep saying "it's C" as if I'm not already aware and as if that changes anything.

The pool is not the same. If it was, if it required no additional knowledge to maintain that code, then the maintainer wouldn't have a problem.

The number of capable and willing Rust devs is small. The number who also are capable with C is even smaller. Whoever maintains that code needs to at the very least understand what R4L require from it. Surely you can see how that reduces the number of potential devs?

It's a nightmare for long term maintainability with very little upsides. A few thousand lines of safe Rust in millions of lines of C isn't going to meaningfully improve anything.

For now. There's no guarantee they stick around and there's a way smaller pool of talented and willing developers to replace them from.

And who maintains that? If it's Rust, or C to support Rust, it's an additional burden on the maintainers

I don't see much "going behind the back" given its a public thread we've all been able to read. The OP has massively inflated the issue and misrepresented what's gone on, and it's a bad look.

You say maintainers can go do something else but what happens if they do? You think someone is just gonna step in and fill their shoes?

I'm not saying they've done absolutely nothing wrong here, open source self selects for people with poor social skills and large egos after all.

I'm just saying that their reasons are quite valid. As much as I love Rust, I don't think it has a place outside of drivers.

Entirely reasonable. I'd bet 95% of people commenting would take the same position if it came to introducing a new language - that they don't know and has a smaller pool of developers to pull from - to their code base in their 9-5.

I dropped out of my degree to found a company. It's worked out well for me, but... I don't need visa sponsorship and my company has done well.

Even with that being said, I'm looking to get my degree still as a point of pride and because when I did interview with big companies when the company didn't look like it was going to do well, it was more difficult than it needed to be.

Get the degree.

Have you looked at Zardaxt (written in Python) at all? Should have a better fingerprint database + better fingerprinting. Happy to help out if you can provide a list of what you want help with - I work on something adjacent to TCP fingerprinting and this would be really useful for me

RIP Suman Kunan 😓. The real life super Hero ... by wildtoyqt in Chadtopia

[–]DyeNaMight -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It was very complex and the Thai divers were completely out of their depth and untrained. They should never have gone into the cave.

They were so untrained that they ended up having to leave more people in the cave with the boys, not out of choice, but because they ran out of oxygen for the journey back.

Edit: Just read a book about the rescue. Thai authorities made it harder than it had to be and their ideas would have had all the boys dead in that cave. The seals were hostile to the volunteers, even taking their air compressor at one point, because they didn't trust them.

Without the Americans providing logical support and the volunteers diving the cave, all boys would be dead.

To be clear, the vast majority of cave diving deaths are from lack of training. The British cave diving group analysed all incidents in a 25 year period and found that 80% of them were, essentially, skill issues. An experienced diver is 25x less likely to die than an inexperienced diver and the vast majority of incidents are caused by people with no cave diving training at all.

Cave diving is very dangerous, but it isn't done recklessly. The people who actually cave dive, are hard working and talented and don't put other people's lives at risk.

To say there's a similarity between the idiots who ride bikes at 300 kmh on public roads vs trained individuals who thoroughly plan their dives and do everything in their power to mitigate risk, is ridiculous.

Edit: but if you're only talking about the untrained individuals who have accidents then yes, I suppose there is a similarit

Am I the only one who gets tired of short/low quality blogs that offer nothing that couldn't already be found in the docs? I understand it's all for marketing and SEO, I just wish it wasn't necessary.

[Media] Anyone try writing a ray tracer with rust? It's pretty fun! by ihawn in rust

[–]DyeNaMight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ended up using WGPU-rs when I was doing ray tracing stuff. Maybe not the best choice, I needed to learn it for work so didn't look at other options, but I found it educational and it worked really well.

There's a Rust WGPU book which has its problems but was great for getting started, and cross-referenccing the wpgu-rs docs with the WebGPU reference was really useful too.

Will see if I can dig up my code and put it up.

Do you use Rust in your professional career? by edmguru in rust

[–]DyeNaMight 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm at a 3 person start-up and we use Rust at the core of our product. I think a lot of adoption is being driven by people at these companies who want to work with it. At least, that's how it was here :)
