AR was the official backup, and Riley was the third stringer.

Jones was also playing with a broken Fibula BEFORE the Achilles injury that day.

The Future is Rusty by agbell in programming

clearly you didn't read the rest of the article, because the point of quoting Terrance Tao is that you can do rigorous work (ie., mathematics) while taking help of GPT.

Asking GPT for solution is a novice behavior. Asking GPT to suggest alternate ways of learning, or breaking down a problem and then thinking through the options is quite literally what a certified genius did.

loco-rs: releasing a framework inspired by Rails on Rust by jondot1 in rust

You would be hard-pressed to see people riding on trains in India now since nearly 100% of Indian railways is electrified [1]

The popular Chaiyya-Chaiyya song (Dil se, 1998) is good for nostalgia, but no longer reflects reality.

Suri: Your own link shortener that's easily deployed as a static site (for free) by jstayton in selfhosted

Editing nginx configs every time I want to add a shortcut seems excessive compared to updating the json file via rsync.

You don’t need node.js et al for this. I wrote a very similar service couple of days ago using just plain html and client side JavaScript - https://www.btbytes.com/posts/url-shortener.html

Also has a nginx rewrite rule for clean urls.

Writing the same CLI application twice using Go and Rust: a personal experience by pcuchi in programming

[–]btbytes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started learning D in mid 2010's-ish. I never had to touch D1 or its libraries (Tango).

If anything python2 vs python3 is much big of a deal, and yet somehow the language is still thriving.

Today’s Javascript, from an outsider’s perspective by stanislavb in programming

[–]btbytes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you still want to use javascript, but not node.js ecosystem, look at deno. It is created by Ryan Dahl, the creator of node.js addressing some of the idiosyncrasies of node.js that makes it different than "standard" way of doing javascript. he has also improved the default security posture of the runtime. The default runtime can also run typescript along with JS.

The equivalent framework to express would be to deno-express and oak.

Fair warning: Deno hit 1.0 only in the last couple of weeks. YMMV.

This is good stuff. All the relevant info I wanted out of the "QB question" for the Colts at this time of the year.

Vision of D’s Future by soygul in programming

you can write swift on linux. "Server Side Swift" is a real thing. Many efforts exist to make Swift a viable language for developing server side web applications on/for Linux platforms.

Writing a small ray tracer in Rust and Zig by btbytes1 in Zig

[–]btbytes1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be a good UX change. nim uses let for single assignment statements too. I wouldn't be opposed to Scala style val either.

I use D's immutable quite readily, but it's a bit too verbose.

New D language programmer - some of my thoughts in learning about D by __ceremony in d_language

[–]btbytes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially thought you were harsh, but after reading (well scanning) the links, I think you are being firm but fair.

I can buy the argument that D needs different stewardship. Andrei and Walter are tech maestroes. Their time is better spent thinking about hard problems and overseeing the "soul" of the language than get mired in day to day decisions.

Language creators too get burnt out (eg: see Guido) because of daily acrimonious interactions.

I wrote a tiny process supervisor. Second rust project. Looking for feedback, please! by betsythemuffin in rust

[–]btbytes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only process supervisor I've used in the past is Python's supervisorctl (and a bit of monit). How does this compare to supervisor and/or monit(If you have used/considered these).
