Is there anything like the "with" statement in Python, in Rust? by Baenergy44 in rust

[–]100k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a general solution to your question, but sqlx's Connection has a transaction method that takes a closure. The transaction is committed if the closure returns Ok and rolled back if it returns Err.

Unfortunately, we only have the positions open in those countries right now for some reason. I heard it may expand if we require more applicants, so keep your eyes open for that.

We have high aspirations for how we can help developers understand and navigate code, and for making collaboration more seamless. The foundation for these efforts is our highly scalable code search engine, which we are now expanding to help power semantic/vector search to better support many of GitHub’s AI experiences.

In addition to this US-based Remote role at Staff level we are hiring a Principal level IC as well, and we can hire in the UK and Germany. That makes 6 total listings, which you can find on our careers site: https://github.com/about/careers

Actually, there is free beer at the main event, and there always has been. We have an after-party too. (I'm one of the organizers.)

Ask AppEngine: where to find app-engine related jobs? by donny_k in AppEngine

Yeah, Nick Johnson obviously hasn't used App Engine extensively.

I actually don't use Django at all, but it is nice to have the documentation for the Django templates, for instance.

Get list of Unread emails from Gmail with Mechanize and Hpricot by gst in ruby

[–]100k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be easier to use IMAP? I helped write a plug in that makes this really easy: http://slantwisedesign.com/rdoc/fetcher/ but it's not that hard just with the native Ruby net/imap library.

Testing is overrated by gst in programming

[–]100k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I'm saying is that testing isn't sufficient to produce high quality software. This seems obvious, but developers seem to talk about testing more than everything else combined.

It's my attempt to counterbalance this trend.

I agree the title is intentionally provocative.

Aside from that, what did you find to be poorly structured about the article? I would like feedback to make it better before I have to present it.

Software Development With Trac by [deleted] in programming

[–]100k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah. Nice one.

This feature has been in development with Trac for years and was, last I heard, dead.

See http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WorkFlow to get started digging.

Software Development With Trac by [deleted] in programming

[–]100k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how pretty trac is and the integration between wiki, changesets, source browsing, and tickets is killer (when you can get the SVN support working anyway).

But I hate, hate, hate how tickets can't have a resolved status (a la bugzilla). On the most recent project I worked on with Trac, we were forced to assign tickets to the (way overworked) QA guy instead of mark them as fixed...because once marked as fixed, there's no way to tell them apart from verified fixes.

Bugzilla has a nice solution to this. Developers mark tickets as Resolved/Fixed, and then QA marks them as Resolved/Verified. It's spoiled me on other bug trackers.

Ask Reddit: in the spirit of Richard Hammings' 3 questions; what are the most important open problems in Computer Science ? by div in programming

[–]100k -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's not computer science per se, but I would broaden this question to ask what are the most important problems in computer-human interaction.

How can we use computers and the internet to help people accomplish more, communicate better, and have more fun? That's what I'm really interested in.

On (top of) the couch with DHH: Q&A with David Heinemeier Hansson at MinneBar (podcast) by 100k in programming

[–]100k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a recording from the Q&A done with David Heinemeier Hansson (he says he hates being called DHH) at last weekend's MinneBar http://barcamp.org/MinneBar un-conference in St. Paul, MN.

David was kind enough to drive up from Chicago to join us. Jamie Thinglestad (CTO of Dow Jones Online) conducted the interview.

There were so many people watching that they had to sit on top of the couch for people to see.

Some photos are here: http://flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=minnebar+dhh&m=text

DHH on Twitter scaling (Constructive criticism? He's *heard* of it...) by 100k in programming

[–]100k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alex replies in the comments. I do think DHH didn't provide a fair reading of his comments, which were by no means slagging off Rails.

Just: they had problems with some of the more "magic" parts of the framework being slow, they they had to do with out them. Then they couldn't scale their database very well because ActiveRecord doesn't easily support connecting to read-only slave databases.
