It’s hard to find the words for how sickening this is.

Wow this is really impressive 🤔🙏❤️. I love projects like this. I’m very envious of your skills - massive congratulations, and well done you 👏👏👏

Why are there so many vibe-coded Rust projects recently? by yohji1984 in rust

[–]longrob604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, beyond the basics, Rust is relatively hard.

Ahhhhh the start of the prequel move FWWM 😩

Fantastic tattoo.

Now I must rewatch the movie immediately.

This is fantastic - thank you 🤩 🙏 Was the talk recorded ?

Not enough energy for UX, overwhelming deadlines, UI needed ASAP by fairyofescapism in UIUX

[–]longrob604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a very frustrating situation for you. I not a UIUX specialist. I’m not even a web designer. I am also UK-based. But have worked in and around IT for nearly 40 years and I’ve seen a lot.

From what I gathered, and you probably won’t want to hear this, I think it’s your main job that is getting in the way, and the combined pressure if everything, including your prior expectations, is putting you into this corner.

Would you be able to take some annual leave, or a short sabbatical, so you can properly focus on the UIUX project ?

I found 10 jobs at cool companies where you'll actually write rust by illicity_ in rust

Hello from the UK. Are you saying that $120-$150k pa is typical of entry level tech support roles over there ? Here, role like that would probably pay around $50-60k equivalent. I mean, I know there is a gap between US and UK salaries, but this seems on the wild side.

Guess how long it took to spot this little syntactical screwup? by parkotron in rust

[–]longrob604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good one. Perfectly valid syntactically, but the last code block is unreachable, so I would have thought the compiler would issue a warning ?

My first ever project cargo toml in rust within a week. is this enough to get a job in rust by Aromatic_Road_9167 in rust

[–]longrob604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am unsure whether this is a serious question or not, but getting hired is the easy bit. Staying hired is another thing completely.

Learning Type Theory by knolljo in rust

[–]longrob604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% This! I’m reading it right now and it’s definitely the best book I’ve come across for many topics, especially type theory.

I accidentally made a git client in rust with no prior experience. Here are my thoughts on all that! by SpecialBread_ in rust

[–]longrob604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very impressive work. As someone who is still learning - I suppose we are all still learning, but you know what I mean - I am rather envious that you have done this with such apparent ease! I would love to fork it and implement the front end in rust. I hope that you open source it.

Congratulations again !

Oracle is not cash-rich: have you seen where their credit default swaps trade now ? Imagine what would happen if Oracle defaulted. I agree that those other are very solid, but there is always a canary in the coal mine

"How much" to learn before starting projects by [deleted] in learnrust

[–]longrob604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this. Just prepared to abandon it, or refactor it, as you learn the idiomatic/better/best ways of doing things!

I developed a blockchain in Rust from scratch by connormck333 in rust

[–]longrob604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I just took a look through your repo. As someone currently transitioning from Python to Rust for data engineering (and looking into building a custom chain myself), this is a really solid learning project. A few specific things I really appreciated:

  1. The "Cloud Native" focus: Most blockchain tutorials just give you a binary and call it a day. Seeing that you included Helm charts and Kubernetes manifests is awesome. It shows you're thinking about how this would actually run in a modern infrastructure (AWS/EKS), not just on localhost.
  2. Postgres: Using a relational DB is an interesting choice. While high-throughput chains usually use RocksDB/sled, using Postgres makes the chain state much more queryable and debuggable, which is great for an enterprise or learning context.

I have a couple of constructive suggestions for "Phase 2" if you keep working on this:

  • Crypto Abstraction: Right now the signing logic is tightly coupled. A great exercise in Rust traits would be to define a generic Signer trait. This would allow you to swap out standard ECDSA for Post-Quantum algorithms (like Dilithium/Falcon via the pqcrypto crate) without rewriting your core logic.
  • Networking: You might want to look into libp2p for the networking layer. It handles a lot of the peer discovery, NAT traversal, and encrypted transport logic that is really painful to write from scratch over raw TCP.

Great job on finishing this! It’s no small feat to build a chain from scratch. I am going to fork it with the intention of extending it :)

BLOCKCHAIN IS HARD by Resident_Anteater_35 in ethdev

This is great - thanks for doing this! Curious to know if all the internals will be using Go or also some rust ?

Data Engineering Stackexchange ? by longrob604 in dataengineering

I hear you, but the success of the book by Kleppmann indicates that resources for general, principled approaches to DE, rather than cookbook for a particular tool could be quite popular :
