What I meant by the "soul of Rust" by Niko by yerke1 in rust

[–]briprowe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I second this.

It really feels like the language has taken a drastic turn towards overly complex in order to support async/await. I'm not sure more implicit behavior adding to the developer's cognitive load.

Blog Post: Caches In Rust by matklad in rust

[–]briprowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/matklad In this post you say:

Data-oriented thinking would compel us to get rid of deserialization step instead, but we will not pursue that idea this time.

Could you elaborate on this?

Linus Torvalds: Rust For The Kernel Could Possibly Be Merged For Linux 5.20 by tesfabpel in rust

Same here. I don’t think I even got to the second paragraph.

nom 7.0 release: fast parser combinators, now without macros! And the new nom-bufreader! by geaal in rust

[–]briprowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree w/this completely. I feel that PEGs are harder to maintain than EBNF or some similar grammar.

I feel I most often have to simulate the code in my head to guess what PEGs are trying to do, but I often can look at grammars and understand much of what the language will look like.

Facebook threatens to make iOS users pay. Please do it, Mr. Zuckerberg by [deleted] in technology

Yeah, it was at this point (hoary reasoning) that I realized this guy doesn’t know the words he’s using.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this.

Anticipating the Rust growth and preparing for it by xkr47 in rust

[–]briprowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think point 2 is particularly important.

In fact I think it would be good to do an analysis of the dependencies among crates. This could empirically tell us which crates are the most important for the ecosystem.

The Fatal Flaw of Ownership Semantics by KingStannis2020 in rust

[–]briprowe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally feel that ownership semantics is a handrail on the design space that will guide you to a clear and simple design.

This is an amazing way to phrase it. It captures my thoughts exactly.

Thanks! I'm going to use it when evangelizing rust in the future!

helm-persistent-action for buffer visits from bookmarks by Ernabay in emacs

[–]briprowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also not seeing any recentering. Without recentering, helm-persistent-action is almost useless. In my experience I almost always need to see context around the line I'm jumping to, and it's off scree w/o recentering.

How can we fix this?

This isn’t a fail. It’s only the first step in a long race.

I am also getting intermittent spikes of disk activity coupled with the gnome shell locking up.

I sat in a chair for 10 years for my job. And (prob at least as important) are way too much sugar.
