sakex··on Reasons why Fortran is still used (2021)
Talk is cheap, show me the code. There are exactly 0 snippets in this article, despite making subjective claims about the language being easier and more intuitive than C/C++ for HPC.
sakex··on Test scores are not irrelevant
I think that when people say test scores are irrelevant, they don't mean irrelevant for studies but irrelevant as an indicator of job performance.
sakex··on Show HN: Async UI: A Rust UI Library Where Everything is a Future
In C++, this will compile:

    class T {
        public:
            T(int & m): member{m} {}
            int & member;
    }

    T MakeT(int m) {
        return T(m);
    }
    
    int main() {
        const auto t = MakeT(10);
        std::cout << t.member << std::endl; // UB <- member has actually been destroyed
    }
Rust will correctly observe that the lifetime of m in `MakeT` is lower than the T object returned and will refuse to compile
sakex··on Zig, the Small Language
Might be, I assumed it was one of the const-variables declared before, but didn't bother to check
sakex··on Zig, the Small Language
I don't know Zig, but aren't we missing a return here?

  fn count_nonzero(a: []const i32) i32 {
    var count: i32 = 0;
    for (items) |value| { // "for" works only on arrays and slices, use >"while" for generic loops.
       if (value == 0) {
        continue;
     }
    count += 1; // there is no increment operator, but there are shortcuts for +=, \*=, >>= etc.
   }
  }

sakex··on Is this the end of social networking?
When I think about what social medias are left, I can only think about LinkedIn. Interestingly, there seem to have been a recent surge of interest for that platform (especially all the cringe worthy posts that started to pop up).

After reading this article, I am starting to wonder if people didn't simply migrate to LinkedIn because of the degradation of Facebook's quality as a Social Network and as they still feel the need to share their lives, started sharing those cringe posts.

Is that emulation or compiled to WASM?
sakex··on Crossbeam – Tools for concurrent programming in Rust
Flume channels support both, but yeah those are very different implementations. I think that supporting it in crossbeam would be great too

I wish crossbeam channels added support for async/await
