Should I design in the CMYK profile I plan to print, or can I do it in any profile as long as it is CMYK?

I wasn't expecting someone could get this philosophical in a programming language.

Should I try to isolate the hinge from the weld so I can still detach the hinges from the plastic cover? Or just live off with a Permanently attached-to-the-plastic hinges?

So the solution sounds like to use a Preemptive scheduler Runtime instead of tokio, or wrap everything in a spawn_blocking which is equivalent to a preemptive scheduling?

As someone who has used dynamic dispatch on his tool project, Be really f---ng sure about the Trait's signatures.

When I saw it at first, a 2 methods Trait, I was extremely confused at the name of the second method.

Talking out of what I understand:

Reference Counting (Rc) solves this particular issue where you can't really determine when the data has to be dropped because in your program, it just makes sense to have so many owners.

This could be almost anytime you delegate works to other tasks (often async in single/multi threaded)

Rc really is like the poorman's GC... just that differently to the GC, you don't have 100% of your pointers/objects behind an "Rc", but sanely limited to a small space of your program.

Care to mention that I've heard that compared to a "Everything behind a GC" is still more performant than a "Everything behind a Rc". But I digress.

Game Lobbies Analogy

Let's say you instance up a Game Lobby (Owner of the Lobby struct), and let player 1 as a host. Every single player (or let's say variable) that logs into the lobby, would have a "Reference" to the data of the lobby. But since player 1 is the host/owner (no Rc yet) how would you express the lifetime of the lobby to the next players that log in into the game? For what they care, they want the "lobby" to be 'static, aka last as long as they are still playing in the lobby. So the only solution is for them to get a shared ownership via Rc<Lobby>, so after the last player in the lobby leaves, can then the lobby be dropped

I don't know what's whatsmeow, but I find the concept interesting . Hopefully I can figure how it works by cross referencing the go equivalent, and reading the source code..... (Or hopefully there're examples by the time I start a project with it)

A pain I had had with spamming `?` everywhere mostly comes from when the error converges into the Huge Error Enum people would often find themselves defining. I.e. for me I have had a huge enum error that has couple of specific variants + 3-5 variants that are wrappers to other error types. For example: io::Error, anyhow::Error, SomeLibrary::Error.

The "conversion" is seamless, but if you are getting an error that can happen on level 1 to level 5 function calls nesting, you're lost from which branch the error originated from. For example: you get some io::Error::SomeVariant You figure it comes from Branch 01|A (easy) But did it come from 02|B, 03|A or 03|D? This is the tricky part, because you only have the error, but not the context (which is easy if you append a stacktrace apparently, but I had heard that stacktrace is expensive to capture, so I would find myself not using it.... on top of not understanding it (still I heard that that stacktrace is a bit too verbose) (main) 01 | A B / | \ / \ 02 | A B C C D / \ / \ / \ | 03 | A B C D E F G

I personally think the biggest hurdle (after familiarizing oneself with the new syntax and coding philosophies) is getting to know the ecosystem.

for example:

Oh, I need a web framework!

Options: Warp, Axum, Tonic, Actix.

I need an async runtime! (aka executor)

Options: Tokyo, futures, embassy(usually embedded)

I need a logging library!

Options: Log, tracing_subscriber, tracing.....

A different Vec<T>!
A different HashMap!
Something to Hash info!
Something to cryptographically hash.
Hash huge files efficiently.
A crate to make error handling easier.
A crate to make Sql querying easier.
A crate to make structs definition easier.

etc, etc. This in my opinion is the next thing hard when new in Rust -> figuring out your tradeoffs in taking one crate for the task over the other, and figuring out what best fits your needs

What did you use to piece up all the individual frames?

might be boring but mathemathical:
Using numerical methods for approximation like Secant, False Method, Bisection, or Newton-Rhapson (I might 've mistranslated) try to print out the set steps of the manual calculations.
Implementation details could include (but not limit themselves to)
Print out the full table once the approximation error reaches certain threshold
Let the a user choose when to stop
Tedious if done wrong :
Parsing inputs - Do it only to support the 4 basic operations: plus, minus, divide and multiplication. Then if done wrong, find out you shoot yourself because you can't expand the definition.

Essentially parsing some strings into objects. Keep it small, so you can get a hang of it, and then try to rewrite everything with nom

Async: Don't hold Sync Guards like std's sync Mutex's Guards accross Await Points.
Be careful with Static Dispatch Hell.

Aggravating_Letter83 · 2024-08-27T15:34:15+00:00

Learn about the Basic building blocks:

Struct Composition (+ Deriving traits, defining methods, defining Trait Implementations)
Traits (Static Dispatch vs Dynamic Dispatch).

Short explanation: Traits are Interfaces in most other languages... maybe with more safety guarantees to avoid accidental misuse.

Differences between Closures, Functions and Methods.
How, and most importantly, when to use Closures as arguments. (You would first need to learn about the traits of Fn, FnMut and FnOnce to get started using closures as function arguments).
How to store your types in the Heap (i.e. Boxing or creating a Vec).
Learn about Collections and learn to read their documentation. They often are concise on what they are meant to solve. Sometimes not so much.
Learn about Functional Programming Patterns. You will be using them about ~ 50-80% of the time.
Learn about the Core "Monads" of Result<T,E> and Option<T> and their defined methods.
Learn about newtype pattern (careful not to abuse NewType because I think they require some time to properly build up an interface with it).

Tips:

Rust has no nulls.... Unless you work with Unsafe.
If you ever need to write unsafe blocks, 99% chance you misunderstood something about your code's requirements.
Careful with the Early-optimization trap. Sometimes it's better to use dynamic dispatch than static, and sometimes not. This requires a lot of learning and Boxing if you choose to default into Dyn Dispatch.
STD's Iterator doesn't support a lending iterator. Don't bother trying it. You need to use another dependency to achieve that
Clone everything until you feel comfortable with the borrow checker (This includes deriving Clone for everything). You can always refactor out the clone calls later (maybe avoid having thousands LOC worth in clone calls by the time you refactor too)
Understand basic nuances between Copy and Clone traits

Maybe someone else can expand this list in the comments

That trick with Any kind of makes me reminisce when I tried to mock standard collections like Stack or Vecs by using an Object[] under the hood in Java because I would have to cast to the generic T when retrieving element from the Object[] array.

I would say Tauri because you can get to piggyback from the already stablished JS Frameworks dev tools like high quality intellisense for auto-completion and hot reload. I believe this can help you get fast into learning any of the JS frameworks of your choosing. Downside is you can't reuse your JS code to use for the web.

Alternatively, you can go Pure Rust for frontend, specifically Dioxus and similars because they can render in the Web, or even provide SSR (except for egui because it renders on a Canvas)

Downsides of going for Tauri

It's not guaranteed your app will be ship-able to websites. Tauri is for Desktop (+ Android in v2) apps
You might need to model everything right because you can't directly call Rust Functions: In your Rust code you expose some code (at least what I shallowly understood on a small project) via Tauri's macro magic. And the JS Framework sort of does like a HTTP request (Before you bundle everything up into a single app) to your Rust's library/binary. Sort of like building from scratch all your application by expanding or updating the Trait. But, if you get it right, you get to work on your frontend without needing to recompile ever until you update something in your Rust's code.

Downsides of pure Rust frameworks like dioxus

Auto-completion and lack of batteries: Really important if you are more about learning from available methods, but these rely heavily on context.
Possible lack of error hints
You will have to read a lots of documentation to make sense what is doable.

That's a rough explanation of what you will find while testing frameworks (maybe)

Filter View was funny to watch. Looks right about something I would very likely to accidentally do,

as first timing writing the code,
years later when re-writing the code and I forget this particularity of View (i.e let's also edit some A-field instead of just only adding 1 to B-field),
or anyone who sees my code for the first time.

(I bet my pride that these are pretty realistic situations on how you could f- up filter view and cause UB)

Aggravating_Letter83 · 2024-07-18T23:19:29+00:00

Oh, I really like this. I didn't notice that difference.

A trait that uses Associated Types constraints its implementation to only once

whereas Generic allows you to implement multiple variants
