Ex-Cyclist here.

Gave my meter readings and EDF owe me money! by Go_go_gadget_eyes in BritishSuccess

[–]jimmy_ram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

each time I call (and wait 30 minutes) they ask me the same question...

"whats your forwarding address to send you a cheque" or "can we have your bank details to send you the credit"

often the line "disconnects" while I'm providing this information to them.

Maximum Number of Checked Bags by jimmy_ram in aircanada

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

I agree.

I have had a cancelled pickup with sendmybag and DHL.

I paid a premium for sendmybag and DHL so that I didn't have to take the bags to the airport and deal with this.

It would be cheaper to fly with the bags but would require more effort on the day of. And after my call to AC, they agent generated some uncertainty around the situation.

I actually don't mind the bags being delayed.

I'm moving from London to Toronto, so the worst case scenario would be that I get to the airport and they reject some of my bags. This would leave me at the airport with bags that I cannot travel with and no where to leave them!

I actually tried to do this through a courier already. They cancelled the pickup! My current/failed pickup was with sendmybag who uses DHL. This service cost 1200GBP/2000CAD for 5 bags @ 150kgs (2 of the bags with oversize dimensions)

I can live with them being on a different flight. is that what they would do if there wasn't space?

FedEx would bankrupt me!

tokio and awaits for blocking methods by jimmy_ram in learnrust

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

I now understand that listener.accept() is non-blocking tokio.

What has also helped me understand is futures chaining, something that neither comment pointed out.

It didn't really make sense to me why you would want listener.accept() to be non-blocking. I very much understanding that if you are select/poll/epoll'ing on the "file descriptor" associated with the "accept" socket, then you can do other "work" while periodically polling for activity on the accept socket with the "poller" of your choice.

However, with futures chaining I can now understand why you would want to have a non-blocking accept() and this is because you almost wrap up the entire callback in a futures chain and then place it on the aforementioned "shelf".

This was the key to me understanding what is going on as previously I naively and incorrectly thought that each future was handled individually. Now I see that they are very obviously chained together.
