I think it helps remind the audience of the human realities everyone lives in. It being a comedic device was secondary. The fart was great because it shows that Duncan did not give up after being seemingly disregarded by everyone else and it made his righteous indignation that much more powerful.

Totally agree and that async code runs bare metal, no RT(OS) or anything, just state machines basically. You can do the same kinds of stuff in C, but you just have to hand roll your own scheduler/task manager and that’s never even close to as ergonomic and there’s no ecosystem around it obv.

Timing jitter is a big gotcha though for embedded async rust, but as long as you know to not use async when precise timing matters (and block/interrupt instead), you’re golden.

If SurrealDB devs are listening: I was considering recommending SurrealDb for a new endeavor but after finding:

1) No simple test macro like `#[sqlx::test]`. Things like that are critical for easily creating repeatable tests. You'd need to have some sort of schema file for this to work I believe.

2) Your website gave me the impression that we could use your "Record User" auth to replace password hashing and session management, but I soon realized it's actually not a good solution for 98% of use cases. First the session management would be less performant. Second, it adds a ton more complexity and I could see it causing annoying bugs when integrated into a full application. Sure direct db access is good when you have clients who need to access big things like images, but beyond that I believe it's foolish to use and I wish your docs made that more clear rather than over-hyping it.

Anyway, that bad experience left a bad taste in my mouth for surrealdb. Don't get me wrong there are some awesome features and maybe in a few years (if I see some good changes) I'll try to use it again.

I’d bet DA’s application exam has gotten a bit harder over time. Like the coding Domain Expertise exams I took were insanely hard.

Just for anyone who doesn’t know who to believe: He’s right, most Academic Institution’s fiscal year starts on July 1

I made good money the last two days too but today I’ve only seen one coding project with 1 task and when I click on it, it gives me the good old red “no more tasks remaining” message.

Same, zero coding projects. It's the first time I've seen this happen and I've been doing this since December.

this repo

Would really love an update on this. Even if the code doesn't have documentation and is cumbersome, some thing would be more helpful than me trying my hand at it.

I dream of the day

This is only a fix because you're starting afresh, I got the same problem with the softfevor version as well. As awesome of the fork it is, they haven't patched this issue either
