> In fact, I think that the current state of async Rust is the best implementation of async in any language.

Hahahaha hard disagree. Last year I implemented the braid protocol (a custom streaming protocol using HTTP) in javascript in less than an hour and about 30 lines of code. Then I spent 2 weeks trying to do the same thing in rust - writing hundreds of lines of code in the process and I couldn't get it to work. Eventually I gave up.

I got it working recently - but only by borrowing some wild tricks from reading the source code of tokio, that I never would have thought of on my own.

> To get Pin stuff out of the way: it is indeed more complicated than it could be (because reverse compatibility etc), but when was the last time you needed to write a poll implementation manually?

Last week, while writing a simple networked database application. Again I needed to produce an async stream, and thats impossible using async fn.

> What makes you think ".. had everyone loving it" and "the majority of people who watched it loved it"?

"the majority of people who watched it loved it"

Because why someone who doesn't like something watch it all the way through. The majority of people who watched Wheel of Time loved it. Sure, some people who disliked it or weren't interested would have watched it all the way through, but most people don't. Did the majority of people who watched only an episode or two love it? I don't know. But that was never my claim.

Maybe you can share why you think people, outside of being reviewers, will watch things they don't like? Am I the odd one out? Seriously, if I don't like a book I stop reading it. If I don't like a show I stop watching.

"JordanCon/WoTCon had everyone loving it." (completely different from saying "everyone loving it")

Because I attended them, and everyone there was loving it. Judging by the cheers and the interest at the associated panels, and well everyone I spoke with.

Contracts don't necessarily need a signature to be valid. If you order food at a restaurant, there is an implied contract that you will pay for the meal.

However, this amount is almost always stated in the menu, so it isn't arbitrary. In fact, in each of the above cases, the amount you pay is almost never arbitrary, but based on usage or a preset price.

This makes no sense to me, why would a conflict-free modifiable commit within the last 10 be the one I want to fixup any more often than roughly 1 in 10?

I fixup^ frequently, often often with conflict to resolve in the process, and I have never ever thought 'if only something would automatically choose the target commit for me', even if it was advanced AI why would I trust it to be what I wanted?

^my alias is:

!f(){ target="$(test -n "$1" && git rev-parse "$1" || git fzsha rev-parse)"; git commit --fixup="$target" ${@:2} && EDITOR=true git rebase -i --autostash --autosquash "$target^"; }; f

`git fzsha` being another alias of mine to choose the target commit with fzf if not given. I rarely use that though, because usually I know it's HEAD~5 or whatever from doing it a second ago, or I've already been looking at the log to work out what I want.

Everything I know about Deno
Today I'm super excited to announce that the first part of my Deno course is online! With Deno 2.0 just around the corner, I am more interested in getting Deno into everyone's hands.

The course will continue to grow in content. I'll be adding topics as I get ready. For now we have the introduction plus the whole Deno toolchain (fmt, lint, etc). I'm currently writing about Deno on the CLI part, which will cover things like the permission system that Deno implements, making the applications super secure by default. (When not using the `-A` flag of course).
When I look at the way C++ has been developed and implemented over the years, I can’t help but think that a relatively small and questionably sustainable group of compiler engineers, no matter how passionate (and people do burn out) cannot possibly hope to sustain development of Rust indefinitely, especially as the project’s complexity and convolutions continue to further complicate and convolve. The only reason C++ has been able to is that it has very extensive industrial sustenance behind at least two of its major compilers, and presumably they also help keep GCC up to par. I don’t know, maybe GCC can somehow set the standard for what Rust can hope to do over the years, but it seems like a minor miracle from the outside.

> Monoliths are problematic because they are too large and unweildy;

The idea that something could become less unwieldy or overall "smaller" by splitting it into separate codebases and introducing RPC and dealing with all the other complexities I mentioned above seems fanciful to me.

As far as I can tell the only semi-reasonable reason to want to move to micro-services is social -- effectively Conways law driven by Dunbar's number -- ie. you've scaled your organisation to a point where you have too many people to work effectively together and you need to split off into smaller teams, each with a subset of your total pool of developers, and want to be able to grant each team autonomy over their 'microservice'/domain to prevent death-by-committee.

I'd still argue most would be better off modularising/maintaining the monolith so multiple teams can work on it, but I do at least understand that rationale.

This is a week vacation though, not a weekend. I agree it doesn't work for a weekend, but if you take a full week off things look much better. If you really do want to go to that exact place in Hawaii for one week a year every year for the rest of your life a timeshare is a great deal (assuming the fees are as stated, sometimes what looks like $100/month turns out to be $2000/month) - but I don't know many people who vacation like that. I do plan to go back to Hawaii, but I also have vacation plans for Boston, Florida, California, Spain... Even the people I know who do vacation like that don't do it for life (I make regular trips to visit my in-laws, but they are thinking about moving states so I may have already taken my last visit to their current home)

In the end, the best case a timeshare does save money. However for most people the restrictions mean you are never in the best case and often you are in the worst case and lose money.

They can be fixed, but as always, there’s a lot of work to do. The bug that the above package relies on has never been seen in the wild, only from handcrafted code to invoke it, and so is less of a priority than other things.

And some fixes are harder than others. If a fix is going to be a lot of work, but is very obscure, it’s likely to exist for a long time.

> Hence the requirement to also limit / ban `unsafe` in untrusted code

I think you’d be surprised by how much code has a transitive unsafe somewhere in the call chain. For example, RefCell and Mutex would need unsafe and I think you’d agree those are “safe constructs” that you would want available to “utility” code that should haven’t filesystem access. So now you have to go and reenable constructs that use unsafe that should be allowed anyway. It’s a massively difficult undertaking.

Having easier runtime mechanisms for dropping filesystem permissions would definitely be better. Something like you are required to do filesystem access through an ownership token that determines what you can access and you can specify the “none” token for most code and even do a dynamic downgrade. There’s some such facilities on Linux but they’re quite primitive - it’s process wide and once dropped you can never regain that permission. That’s why the model is to isolate the different parts into separate processes since that’s how OSes scope permissions but it’s super hard and a lot of boilerplate to do something that feels like it should be easy.
It's great to have something spiritually similar for Linux but I would say that Zeal does about 20-30% of what Dash does. The core functionality is sort of there but it's missing the overwhelming majority of docsets, especially language-specific package managers.

Scraping the web, creating maps and pointing people to the source is one thing; scraping the web, creating content from that scraping without attributing any of the source material, and arguing that the outcome is completely novel and original is another.

aside: me after reading the headline: Shouldn't that be Octopii?

But no!
"The plural form octopii is doubly incorrect. Firstly, octopus derives from Greek, not Latin; its etymologically-consistent plural form is octopodes. Secondly, even if octopus were a second-declension Latin noun, the plural form would be octopi; in the correct plurals radii and gladii, with which octopii is analogous, the first ‘i’s are part of the words’ stems (radi- and gladi-), and not their case endings — for octopii to be the plural, *octopius would need to be the singular."

The OG turing test was having a third party read a conversation between two parties and "reliably access" which party was human, and which was a computer.

Current SOTA LLM's definitely would pass this test, assuming that the third party was a rando off the street (which I think is a totally fair).

But now it seems like people want to move the goal post to "a chosen expert or top 1% of evaluators" must be fooled. Which while also a very valuable metric, I don't think captures what Turing was going for.

Ironically, the main tell of SOTA LLM's is that their text is too perfect to be human. Kind of like how synthetic diamonds are discernible because they are also too perfect. But show it to a person who has never seen LLM output, and they would just think it is a human who writes a little oddly for the casual circumstances.

Very cool. Although I wonder if the analysis really answered the question it set out to ask. The author's hypothesis was that the "entirety of contemporary Italian music rests on the shoulders of Gianni Maroccolo." He then tries to show this by showing who played music with who.

I would imagine that influence could be transferred even without artists playing in each other's bands. I can think of plenty of extremely influential bands that defined the start of a whole genre, whose members never played in another band.

But perhaps the original argument that the author was making was that Maroccolo is important because he played with everyone, in which case this analysis makes sense.

Anyway, cool networks.

I don't know what you had in mind for "sponsored" but others would disagree and say both C and C++ were "sponsored by AT&T Bell Labs" because the people who created them (Dennis Ritchie, Bjarne Stroustrup) were employees of AT&T. Analogous to Rob Pike, et al. of Go Language being employed/sponsored at Google.

But there's no reason such a "feature" requires bundling dependencies in the stdlib. As you mention 3rd party Go libs manage to do this perfectly fine.

> but I tend to think that the stdlib should be fairly big and tackle most common problems.

I tend to disagree with this, because the way to tackle those common problems with likely change in the future, but the stdlib will be stuck with it for eternity. I would rather have some community-standard 3rd party crate that you can replace in the future when it will grow old.

Heck, never mind perfect play, at current rates two single trades would have made me the single richest person on the planet: buying $1k of Apple stock at the right time, then selling it all for $20k when it was 10,000 BTC for some pizzas.
