I agree with the technique of divide and conquer, but those links are really hard to see! Bright blue on a dark blue background, oof!

> My issue with Rust is the refactor cost when it needs to change.

That’s an interesting take. I’ve heard it before but I believe the opposite. For me, Rust is much easier to refactor.

Did I miss where the article mentions that those workers tend to be older?

Also - why does working at home imply any of those things (besides video calls).

It depends on which jungle though ;)

Yes, exactly. How close does it come after all those optimisations?

There’s ruffle! It’s able to play swf files, but there’s no editor, yet.

Ok, thanks :)

How does this compare to TVM?

What is your sound engine built with? What tools are you using for the GUI?

I’ve found the GUI the hardest part of VST development (but I’m not on a traditional C++ Juce stack).

Just out of curiosity and because we all have different limits - how much do you think you used to drink, generally, and what helped you quit?

My project Renderling (https://github.com/schell/renderling) is funded by NLNet and I can say the whole process has been great. It’s changed the way I think about open source and gives me motivation to continue.

Wouldn't the extra money allow their message to get better "saturation"? If they can get their message out and cover more ground, be repeated more often, etc. Doesn't that give them an advantage?

I think the sentiment is that they’re both hype bubbles.

I mean designing APIs. Working with APIs is a different discipline than designing them and it takes practice to get it right.

You would hope, but some folks don’t have a background in APIs and don’t really know when life could be better.

It will never be finished but Stephen Diehl’s “Write you a Haskell” is great.

From my friends who work on rust-GPU it’s been my impression that Embark is moving away from Rust. But it’s not because of the ecosystem. Although I agree that it is immature. Instead it seemed to be more an economic situation.

It’s hard to pay the frontier tax and ship AAA games.

Tabs or spaces? ;)

Because that’s the racket! They can’t pay you top dollar because they’re a lean startup, so they make up for it by adding “equity” to remuneration. But that equity is in the form of options which you have to buy with your not-top-dollar salary, so it’s unlikely you will. Then you leave the company before an event and those options expire after a month or so, going back into the pool for another engineer to do the same. The house always wins!

Don’t take this the wrong way, but Americans seem to have an issue with roundabouts. I’ve seen several go in around LA and then promptly get turned into wacky stop signs. Btw I am American, though I’m living in New Zealand and I prefer roundabouts to stop signs.

I have a similar setup in using helix with Alacritty. Of course Alacritty doesn’t provide a GUI (being a terminal emulator) but it is a very fast stack that looks quite nice.

It’s the most widely used dialect of smalltalk and it compiles down to native code.

Also it’s a superset of C and C++ so you can mix all three in a single file, for better or worse.

Maybe trivial to “work around” but there is a difference, ay?

With this type you would have to check/match an extra case!

The type you use there also takes more memory than Option<T> or Maybe<T>. So it has some other downsides.

They should open source their game engine. That way we can learn from their mistakes. How can we be sure this is a shortcoming of the language and not the APIs the author is working with?

Anyway - no one is going to ship a game written in Rust with this attitude. To the other folks out there happily writing their games in Rust - don't be distracted! All it takes is one success story to prove the concept :)

There’s [Rune](https://github.com/rune-rs/rune/).

The Russians are probably tunnelling through another connection or are steering a botnet.

First off - congrats!

This is the first I’ve heard of langflow. From the link it looks like an open source, visual … editor … for running and possibly training models? Or doing prompt engineering? Please forgive my ignorance.

My question is actually about the acquisition. What was langflow’s business model before the acquisition? Why would datastax acquire instead of donate? Essentially, is there a specific direction datastax wants to take the project, or was this a special deal to acquihire the talent?

First off, congrats!

Can you elaborate on what the “graphics code” might be in this case? Many Rust graphics engines seem to cover the same ground by having asset loading cfg’d on the target (wasm vs native). What does your project provide that a dev wouldn’t get with Rust + a wasm compatible engine?

That’s totally true, but the point system is cool in that they give a massive boost to special skills like software development.

Earthquakes - so far so good, but I grew up in LA and lived through multiple large-ish quakes (Northridge). One big difference is that many small rural towns only have one road in or out, so a quake could block the road, leaving you stranded, possibly without power. This is the case along the west coast of the South Island.

Food - groceries are pricey! It was surprisingly expensive given the lower wages here. CA seems to be catching up though!

Mosquitoes - comparable to LA, less than Sonoma County. Smaller too. But here on the South Island we also have sandflies. They vary by region. West Coast has them bad in some remote spots.
