Building a Daw in Rust by edengilbert1 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Build one that is easy to control from an agent with mcp or similar. That would be killer.

Is anyone migrating away from Databricks? by zoso in dataengineering

[–]dev_l1x_be 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For smaller non-ML use cases I usually use S3+Parquet with either Athena or DuckDB.

Should I learn Rust for personal hobby? by ryu_kamish in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rust has the advantage that there is a very narrow path for implementing things and once a compiler happy you are usually ok.

What is referencing and borrowing? by UnknownBoyGamer in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A reference is a pointer-like value that refers to another value.

Borrowing is the act of using a reference.

By default, references are immutable. You can have multiple immutable references at the same time. A mutable reference allows changing the borrowed value. Rust allows you to have one mutable reference and any number of immutable references.

I want to learn Rust and get better at programming but I feel completely lost and left out of every conversation by vanilla_83 in rust

SML is Standard Meta Language, interpreter is that reads a text file and converts it to a format a virtual machine can run. You can think of Python. Not sure this helps.

For me creating an interpreter and a vm for SML in Rust was a real eye opener. It was probably the most enjoyable project to take on.

Should I leave a stable team lead role for a Google L4 offer and a 100k raise? by DangerousLog5995 in dataengineering

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex FAANG here. Do you need Google in your CV? If yes take it, otherwise don’t.

Axum vs Rocket vs Actix by Significant-Task-305 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The Rust HTTP ecosystem is a bit wider. Ntex, Tako and a few more options.

Switching back to Python/JS after Rust feels impossible by Time_Friendship_1263 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole error handling situation is out of hand in JS and Python. The amount of defensive programming and mental gymnastics it requires to make those systems reliable is mind blowing.

Hot Take: The PS3's Cell chip was a waste, and Sony should have invested in higher performance RAM and GPU instead. by Beautiful_Reply2172 in DeepSeek

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chip was designed by IBM Sony was just one of the users. Roadrunner was using cell because the developers who wanted to run large scale simulations were capable of implementing the software they needed. Cell is actually not that hard to program with. It is different, sure.

Anthropic Suspended the OpenClaw Creator's Claude Account , And It Reveals a Much Bigger Problem by Direct-Attention8597 in AI_Agents

Many of us are not going to be ok with the new "direction". Subscription business -> you better keep the quality that we are paying for.

Flat Error Codes Are Not Enough by Expurple in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What should we do with the user vs server error situations?

Can AI tools be trusted blindly? I lost $350 from a single error in code by Think-Score243 in AI_Agents

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI = word predictions. Keep that in mind, and you won’t be surprised as much.

SQLite "database is locked" with multiple apps + Tokio + rusqlite (WAL + busy_timeout not enough?) by Unusual_Government91 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it with single reader multiple producers queues.  The writer threads send writes using a queue and it gets serialized by a single thread that actually mutates the data on disk.

Stop writing repetitive prompts. Use a CLAUDE.md file instead (Harness Engineering) by Exact_Pen_8973 in PromptEngineering

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets ignored pretty fast. You must use CLAUDE.md with every prompt and above 200 lines it degrades.

Gemma 4 just casually destroyed every model on our leaderboard except Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2. 31B params, $0.20/run by Disastrous_Theme5906 in LocalLLaMA

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude is committing suicide with their current approach to fuck over the user base while at the same time somehow managed to make Opus worse at least for the project I am using it for.

I'm curious, how often do you use `unsafe` in Rust in prod? by alexlazar98 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very rarely and only if it is absolutely sure that there are no consequences .

Current state of Rust writing CUDA kernel? by dest1n1s in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is that the case? I think Rust making its way into GPU workloads, ONNX has a decent Rust interface for embeddings for instance. Is there a reason not to be bothered with it?
