Rust is hard at the start, but easy after. But I feel async keep it hard. The sad part is that async is SO infectious that you are forced to move all on it to align with the rest of the ecosystem.

I also believe the way all of this is presented is not the right abstraction. Actors + CSP is probably the best way. Plus, even if concurrency <> parallelism I think the parallelism idioms make more sense (pin to the "thread", do fork-joins, use ring-buffer for channels, etc).

However, I suppose the whole issue is that async as-is is easier for the mechanical support that work for the compilers and allows to squeze the performance/resource usage, that is important for Rust.

But maybe keep it hidden and surface another kind of api?
I migrated several huge CMSes in Financial Services and know you pain. Here is what I did and I hope you can use it.

2 things:
- knowledge about the structure
- math, math, math

You will need both exercises later on for the other CMS as well.

Do the math: how many changes over time? Which department/person needs to do changes and why? Which files and content is affected? Prioritise: if there is no live actualization needed, postpone certain changes. Is there critical content? Do you need a workflow for certain changes (legal approval etc.)?

You might need to mix different approaches:
- using some scripts
- using a deployment pipeline
- using a lightweight CMS for parts of the content
- using a dev team who does the changes manually (speed and costs do usually not warrant hacking a CMS for 6 month, so manual changes can be sufficient)

For some frequently changed pages it can make sense, to have some sort of mini CMS or even simply have a small team of business and dev people who do the changes manually.

Do not overengineer at this point, since this can lead to a fragile solution which backfires: "Why do we need the new CMS? It works currently."

Have fun! :)

PowerShell grew up in Windows world, and largely has stayed there. If you are not Windows sysadmin, there is high likelihood you have never ended up on a server with PowerShell installed. I have ~200 server credentials in my password manager, and I can't think any with PowerShell, but maybe over 90% has bash. All the examples for new things usually have just bash instructions.

If I'd give an advice to new programmers right now, I wouldn't say learn PowerShell over Bash, because PS is just so niche.

If they stick to core and basic Rust features, then I can see this project succeeding.

Types more advanced than Vec<T> should be avoided IMHO. Rust is a beautiful language when you can contain it's complexity to a minimum. Them it reads like safe C, just like it should.
Guy Who Claims He Invented Bitcoin Loses $100M in Court, Calls It a Win
Naïve, black-&-white, over-simplified, amateurish advice.

Security measures to deploy depend on the risk level involved, e.g., potential costs of being hacked.

Measures like SELinux, grsec, fwknop, snort, IDS (tripwire or Samhain), HSMs, hw entropy sources, split SSH/TLS, and microservices compartmentalized into VM containers rather than Docker have their place.
Sounds like Intel plans on doing the same thing with their chips that Tesla does with its batteries.
Section 230 is specifically designed to allow them to do that without being liable. Without section 230, a site "curating" by deleting some comments, banning some accounts, etc. would then be liable for any illegal content on the site.

The HDMI capture device I'm using has shipped with an A-to-A M-to-M cable. Even if that is the reason I can't find it, I still need an M-to-F to extend this thing and I can't find that either, except from brands that either don't work at all at SS speeds or drop half the packets (like Amazon Basics cables).

The shareware version of Snow from Windows by Rick Jansen linked here doesn't work well with Windows 10, lots of image artifacting from (I assume) old Win32 display calls attempting to animate sprites across the desktop.

Looking for alternatives... found DesktopSnowOK which is freeware, small and portable, but doesn't seem to collect snow on top of the window frames :(
There are plenty of people who find those characteristics aesthetically pleasing, I enjoy the affine texture mapping effect and vertex jitter when they're used effectively- depends on the game. For example in Silent hill these sort of effects enhance the eerie atmosphere, giving it a more warped and dream-like feel.

As for developing directly for the PS1 there are many practical reasons not to, like ease of development and actually being able to release/sell your game on modern storefronts
I thought we were solidly in shitposting territory when I read "Don't forget that the CCP's raison d'etre is not to responsibly govern China but simply to accrue power".

Maybe that’s part of why Windows owns the enterprise and Apple isn’t really a thing in that market.
> last time I looked into this problem (in 2005 or so) there wasn't much latency difference between FMA-based implementation and a dedicated hardware divider

In 2005 or so, the newest and greatest CPUs were probably Core 2 Duo i.e. Conroe microarchitecture.

Hardware dividers became much faster since then. Conroe took up to 20 cycles for FP32 divide (DIVPS), and up to 34 cycles for FP64 divide (DIVPD). AMD Zen 3 does that in 10 and 13 cycles, respectively.

Additions and multiplications improved too, but not nearly as much. FP32 multiplication (MULPS) took 4 cycles on Conroe, 3 cycles on Zen 3. FP64 multiplication (MULPD) took 5 cycles on Conroe, 3 cycles on Zen 3. Both FP32 and FP64 additions (ADDPS, ADDPD) take same 3 cycles, despite 16 years of technical progress.
Plus, isn't it MAANA now? (Meta and Alphabet)
> > spiped didn't exist when that article was written (or if it did, it certainly wasn't mature).

> it was used in production on tarsnap's infrastructure since it is the same author. It had [3 minor] releases+ by the time the article was written. And [the initial release] was in debian [unstable] by the end of the year 2013 [after the article was written].

You're not exactly making a strong case there but fine, I'll concede it did exist and had some undefined degree of maturity that we're never going to prove nor disprove. :)

+ it was 3 minor releases not 4. The 4th was released in April, the article in March. But in fairness to yourself there were also 2 patch releases you didn't count.

For many years, the aliases were worse than the problem. Aliasing `curl` to `Invoke-WebRequest` without also aliasing the flags was a crime against usability.

That said, tab completion works, and I used PowerShell on macOS for a long time with no complaints.
That still doesn't sound like a strong argument against it to me. Getting the booster might help or might not help as much as was said. Not getting it does nothing for or against you.
It sounds to me like getting a booster is a safe, reasoned choice that has a good chance at offering additional protection, zero financial cost for almost everybody, and typically very mild side effects. "Don't get it because there's a chance that it might not help and almost no risk of harm" doesn't sound compelling.
Yes, it’s a huge pain to the point where you don’t want to be stuck fielding support calls from enthusiasts tweaking things on their own. Huge pain in debugging this code
This is completely stupid; Microsoft didn't develop PowerShell and Excel macros on purpose in order to enable cyber threats, so that it could then monetize the countermeasures.
I took the competitive advantage comment as the short story to a much longer reason.

I could see not wanting to support a tool. I've written tools that automate processes in useful ways but the interfaces aren't perfect and you need some base knowledge to understand how they work. I don't want to spend my time improving and supporting those tools. I wrote them to reduce the amount of work I have to do, not add yet another responsibility.

I've also made the mistake of sharing my tools only to find criticism but no offer to help make improvements. Fuck em, wasting my time.
I'm just careful not to make any absolute statements. I'm not a crypto advocate.

I also tried not to pass judgement. I understand that less regulation leads to more crime (and I think we are seeing evidence of that). What I'm trying to say is that this solves a problem for people who want less regulation.

With respect to simplicity and fees; If I want to send money to a family member in Botswana, I can do that in about a minute with something like Stellar. The transaction fees are negligible (<1 cent). Converting to fiat to actually use it, does carry some fees (roughly 2 x 0.1% on Binance). I couldn't get an exact quote from Western Union, but I remember it being a lot more expensive and a lot more hassle (granted, it's been over a decade since I last used them)
Well i do agree that the title they choose for this project is kinda stupid. But with some argumentative charity we can do better: this is a TUI for managing git repos, kinda like a TUI for gitolite+cgit. And it's a server-side program so you can work some magic with ssh forced-command. I think it's cute, altho i'm perfectly fine with doing stuff manually.
You can also take a look at our country's airports. They are all worn out. I spent a lot of time in airports and they are all aging. There's been work to rehab some of the insides but many of them are too small, and what money there is to spend has been spent building new and ridiculous security barriers. Things like parking, shuttles, and baggage handling have not been invested in.

Same with our roads. I drive up and down I95 and the roads are full of road snakes and patches.

My car has lane assist but it makes life worse because it doesn't recognize how lanes are used in this country. In the countryside on certain roads you are supposed to cross over the dashed line so it just keeps dinging at you until you disable the system. Side assist flashes bright leds in your eyes whenever a car is in your deadspot which is all the time on the motorway. The car needs to tell you whenever the temperature crosses over 4c. It likes to warn you that the tire pressure has changed when it is absolutely fine when you test it.
I suppose auto braking is the only one actually useful.

I’ve considered doing this —digging out PS1 homebrew tools and targeting libRetro. I even worked on PS1 games just a bit a long time ago.

Then I looked at actually doing it and, oh man, it’s a lot of work to get started! If I was a younger man with more free time I could pull it off. But, at the moment I need to keep my side projects smaller scope.

As far as OP goes, setting up a renderer like this requires digging out some unusual techniques. But, they aren’t hard to implement once you figure them out. And, then you can go back to the speed and convenience of modern gamedev environments.

Too bad that only x86-64 output is supported out of the box. There's no real reason for this, other targets work just fine but you need to place e.g. `--target=riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu` or even `--target=wasm32-wasi` in the compiler options input. C/C++ doesn't have this issue, it's specific to Rust.
All Firefox ads can be turned off. You can very quickly remove Pocket from new tab pages.

Meanwhile, Firefox is providing useful features like tab containers and Facebook container that are not replicable in Chrome even with extensions.

When you use Chrome you're using a browser made by an advertisement COMPANY. Every time you Google search you are looking at Google ads, and Chrome itself integrates with Google search and other services so that users feel like they are missing out if they decide to choose an alternative.

The entire purpose of Chrome is to lock you into Google services, Android, and make it just that much more convenient to use Google products for everything you do.

But somehow, the independent alternative run by an actual non-profit is worse because they dared to try and monetize their product, in a unintrusive and fully optional way. No, it'd be better if we all subscribe to Google's information dragnet, because that's "free" and has "no ads."

I was in the military for years. Vaccines galore for any and every conceivable illness. I was required to have flu shots. Every single flu shot I've had gave me the flu. Full blown sickness, within a day of receiving the shot. Since leaving the military I've not had a flu shot and I've not had the flu. Obviously it's anecdotal but you'll never convince me to start taking flu shots after such repeated experiences.

Either you’re using the medical definition of mild (didn’t require hospitalization) or you haven’t gotten a true influenza infection in a long time. So many people call strong colds a “flu”, which creates confusion around its severity and contributes to people avoiding the vaccines. But real influenza will have you in bed for a week and set back your fitness for a month (making you tired after even moderate exertion).

Getting my first real flu since childhood is definitely what got me back on the vaccine train. All this talk about mortality, I want to minimize even basic inconvenience to myself!
Valve has already done this stuff in a way that makes far more sense. A lot of people lament CSGO’s skins (and yes they have some issues) but here are some points about them:

- Skins are purely cosmetic and tied to a competitive game that many people tie their life to. Cosmetics of differing expense make sense, the better players show off their personality in the expense and style of their cosmetics.

- Skins are tradeable on the steam market which itself is a ledger, no reason for it to be distributed.

- The best thing about skins is that after you buy them and you don’t want them anymore, you can resell them and recoup a portion of the money you spent, or in some cases even make profit.

- Additionally, because the ledger isn’t distributed, valve can actively change skins and fix mistakes to them. This allows for user submitted skins to even work, as they can respond to DMCA take downs

You asked a question.

I answered it.

You're ignoring the answer.

You're now arguing against a proposition which doesn't exist and wasn't made.

Goalposts have been moved.

The goal, however, stands.

Anyone in the least familiar with Smith's works, would be aware of his discussion on differentiation in wages. It's actually a useful discussion, with solid points though with divergence from empirical evidence, and including only a subset of sources of personal wealth. It would make for a more useful further discussion than ignoring responses and changing the subject.
lol this is exactly what people are talking about, get a life.
I missed that in your prior comment. Yes, I think you are right. Docker --which I kind of hate to admit-- seems to be the only low friction solution at this stage.

This is why I insist that the Django dev team ought to put some thought and effort into fixing this issue. If Django installed in a realistic baseline production configuration (not a toy DB, runserver, etc.) and came out of the box with a super simple mechanism to deploy to the average VPS the framework could become 10x more popular than it is today.

Nobody could blame a developer looking that the Digital Ocean deployment tutorial you linked to and thinking "f-ck this!". I can even see said developer using that as an argument against Python/Django if management was involved in making a platform decision.

There are dozens of articles just like that one that are multiple pages long. To me that constitutes absolute proof that deployment in Django is seriously flawed, if not broken. I hate to say that because I love the framework, but c'mon, the fact that such articles exist pretty much says this is ridiculous.
You're projecting your own conspiracy thinking. You're literally seeking hidden, dark meaning in things that are benign (the word `patriot` in this case). That's more revealing than anything.

I definitely prioritize supporting all languages. (I don't care about flags and emoji and crap like that.) However I don't know enough yet. The current list of supported languages is enumerated at http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/103glyph.subx.html#L98

It's not just a matter of supporting more fonts. I need to support smarter fonts with ligatures and more. I think we could preserve the constraint of a single font and just make it smarter. But it'll take me some time to learn enough to do that.
