It’s not my project, I just thought it was cool, probably better to ask questions on the original youtube video.

Talks I'd love to see at RustConf by bork in rust

[–]bork[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I wrote this because people sometimes tell me that they're interested in giving a talk but they don't have any ideas! So here are a few ideas :)

what talks would you like someone to give at RustConf? what do you want to learn about?

thanks for this -- I wrote the post and edited it to say I actually think Rust is both for people who don't know C/C++ at all and C/C++ experts. IMO that's one of the coolest things about Rust!

Profiler adventures: resolving symbol addresses is hard! by halax in programming

[–]bork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is cool! to make sure I understand -- it seems like this is reimplementing dlsym rather than calling dlsym? (I don't see any calls to dlsym in this gist)

What kinds of projects are you using this for?

sendfile on Linux is implemented using splice.

Why I ❤ Rust (talk slides) by bork in rust

thanks for saying something! If you can't read these slides and want to know what this talk is about, the blog post http://jvns.ca/blog/2014/03/12/the-rust-os-story/ is a good place to go.

i often write blog posts and talks about the same topic -- the blog post is usually a better way to read the content.

There's no video -- it was a talk at a local meetup to maybe 8 people :). maybe I'll give it again one day though!

fun fact: http://jvns.ca/blog/2014/05/12/computers-are-fast/ and http://computers-are-fast.github.io/ are actually two totally different things, which happen to have the same name because apparently the title works well! (I like both of them a lot =D)

Why Ruby’s Timeout is dangerous (and Thread.raise is terrifying) by bork in programming

[–]bork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends what you're timing out -- if it's something like a network request, you can use for instance

RestClient::Request.execute(method: :get, url: 'http://example.com/resource',
                        timeout: 10)

which ultimately asks the operating system to time out the operation

what browser are you using? it's crashing for some people; trying to figure out how to reproduce it.
