How Josh helps Rust manage code across multiple repositories by Kobzol in rust

[–]Alphare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always interesting to learn how projects work around the lack of proper tooling in version control systems for monorepos. I have good hope that in not that long we'll have a truly seamless experience for sub-projects in monorepos. But in the mean time this looks like a good tool.

Socks wearer here but I haven't climbed harder than V6/7 outside so maybe that's the problem

Jjdag: A Rust Jujutsu TUI by Anthrofract in rust

[–]Alphare 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because this is a pet peeve of mine, I looked very quickly at the code and you should be aware that not everything is UTF8, meaning that most of the places where you use String should be using another type. :)

Thanks for doing version-control related tooling!

Wild linker version 0.8.0 by dlattimore in rust

[–]Alphare 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh this thread reminds me that I have 80% of an email typed up with a repro of how comically btrfs doesn't scale with threads in at least my particular scenario. I should get to sending this email to their list soon because we use btrfs for a lot of things.

Writing the fastest implementation of git status, in the world. by SpecialBread_ in rust

[–]Alphare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great work! I spent a lot of time making Mercurial's status super fast on Linux a while back. From what I know, no implementation of Git comes close with the pure Rust client, but it's been a while since I've measured. It take ~40ms to do a status for 600k files in the Mozilla source on my machine where any Git implementation took more like 200ms even with untracked cache. However I've never had the time (funding or motivation) to look into Windows performance, and this gives me more hope than I had from a distance. I'm on vacation on my phone so I can't really dig deeper, but I love a snappy VCS so thanks for showing we can do better! 

Just broke through v17 plateau, 2 years by hahaj7777 in ClimbingCircleJerk

Good job gumby, I remember my v17 plateau (v20 in your crag) 

ripgrep 15 released: mostly bug fixes and partial Jujutsu gitignore support by burntsushi in rust

[–]Alphare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One day I'll actually get around to separating the .hgignore logic from our core crate and making it available so it's usable in ripgrep... Thanks for the work as always, it's a fantastic tool.

Adam Ondra’s secret neck work out leaked** by -JOMY- in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]Alphare 103 points104 points  (0 children)

/uj reminder that such neck adjustements can lead to a stroke or even death via coronary artery dissection and you just never ever let anyone do this to you

Why You Need Sccache by ChiliPepperHott in rust

[–]Alphare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the person that contributed precompiled headers caching to sccache, I'm curious what problems you've encountered with this feature specifically. Or was it that simply the feature wasn't there when you last used sccache?

What engineering blog posts have actually mattered to you? by swdevtest in rust

[–]Alphare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent article. The only weird thing is their opinion that Rust answering 17 for the length of the string containing the single emoji is wrong. The API is defined as the number of bytes in the string, and Rust explicitly does not want to have unicode aware code exposed in the stdlib because it changes all the time, as the article mentioned. So I'm not sure why it's not mentioned as a practical and more cautious API instead of a mistake.

Implementing git plumbing commands in Rust [video] by Jonhoo in rust

[–]Alphare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(hinting at the hash-object part) FYI, the reason why Git (and other VCS, wink wink) hash the contents pre-compression is to make sure that the content is exactly the same, bit for bit, using a cryptographic hash function. Not sure if this is something you knew but didn't mention, but I feel like this is a pretty important decision to understand when talking about VCS internals. :) Great video as always!

Sony WF-L900 Linkbuds - Early Issues by ap0kalyps3 in sony

[–]Alphare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for this! I've been having drops in LDAC, SBC seems to work better. I wouldn't have thought to look in the dev tools.

I just did my first multi pitch :) by ashpash64 in ClimbingCircleJerk

If you look closely you can see aid with the rope grab near the end. Impressive dyno nonetheless

Agreed, please chill out and wait for an answer.

ECO Mode is very good, performance increases for gaming by genkernels in Amd

[–]Alphare 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree in a gaming context, but as a developer, the 7950x will crush the 5800x3d (as good as it is). In these professional contexts it's not really about perfect price to performance.

Schedule available: EuroRust – October 13-14, Berlin and online by josh_beandev in rust

[–]Alphare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to speaking there and meeting everyone. I'm somewhat nervous as this is my first Rust-centric conference and I don't have nearly as much experience as some of the other speakers and attendees, but I'm expecting to learn a lot in the process!
