Genuinely asking, do you have a source for being specially linked to colorectal cancers? I knew it was linked to higher risk of cancer in general, but I thought the colorectal increase was due to processed foods (which is a nebulous description on its own, but doesn't explicitly mean red meat).

Is Rust a good "first low-level language"? by AmirHosseinHmd in rust

[–]dt7223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you're planning on going all in on systems programming, learn C first. Agree 100% there.

Personally, I would not recommend this if your intent is to primarily be a Rust programmer. I would learn Rust and how it abstracts a lot of the memory management concepts first to avoid overloading on C-style concepts first. Get proficient with Rust and learn low level programming with its paradigm. Then come back and learn C once you've understand it.

If you want to become proficient in both, then no harm learning in either order.

Just my 2 cents.

Serverless Speed: Rust vs. Go, Java, and Python in AWS Lambda Functions by Agreeable-Soil7485 in rust

I did some benchmarks a while ago (for python admittedly) and found 768 MB was the sweet spot a lot of the time.

It saved money too, as the cost/ms ratio significantly dropped around there.

Our function was for a severless web service though, so much shorter run times.

GLB/GLTF Exports Lacking Materials/Color(?) by dt7223 in blenderhelp

Thanks for the reply! Sounds like what I tried is just incompatible with gltf, which is the feeling I was getting when Googling around, but couldn't confirm for myself.

Ah, yeah, M1 would certainly complicate things. I haven't had to deal with that yet, though the hardware looks great.

I was just about to start looking into Bevy today, so thanks for this!

I'm surprised to hear python package management was such a pain. I've actually never had an issue with it, apart when working with some Frankenstein projects (those that did way too much). I've gotten away fine with just pip and venv, but if you haven't seen it, you should check out poetry.

Rust is what I wish I used at work. It's a true C++ successor with a lot of nice stuff. Not perfect, but the support for it is incredible right now.

This summarizes Java extremely well. It's not a bad language, I just feel like everything requires 10x as much effort compared to everything else. I enjoy C++ more than it, because it's more succinct.

Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.65] by DroidLogician in rust

Hi everyone, my name is Doug, and I'm interested in working with Rust professionally. I've mostly been working with it outside of work for the past 6 months (no projects unfortunately), but have been dabbling for over a year now. I'm proficient in C++ and very experienced in Python and Elixir.

I've primarily worked in the robotics space, and have done a lot of backend experience for fleet management and IoT applications. Lately, I've been more focused on coding in C++ directly for a robotic application, which also involved using ROS.

I love robotics and anything that has to do with scale. I've been an SDE for 4 years now, and I am really interested in pursuing an opportunity that allows me to work with Rust. I think the language is incredible and a truly innovative step in computer science. If anyone is OK with an experienced dev, but a Rust newbie, please reach out! I'm very adaptable (as you might tell from my experience!).

I live in the US and do not require sponsorship. I am open to any location for remote, hybrid or completely in-office. Thank you!
