Congrats!

It’s based on Iced, but it looks like they have their own fork. Anyone know how extensive their changes are and how much gets merged upstream?

Yup! Also languages in the ML family and others I’m sure.

Nope. In Rust, a semicolon denotes a statement while a lack of semicolon is an expression so you can’t just omit them at will. This does lead to cool things though like if/else blocks being able to produce values if they end in an expression. But the expression type is checked so you’re less likely to make a mistake. You can see an example here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/flow_control/if_else.html

In JavaScript I never skip semicolons because I’ve seen those subtle bugs.

Yeah, semicolons are ugly anyway and they’d ruin the beautiful expression of your code.

Sounds fun! I assume you’re read the Async Book?

Finally some positivity around async Rust!

I write a lot of embedded C for a living, and can’t wait for the ecosystem to get better so I can switch to Rust. Threading always starts simple. All I need is to spawn a thread and wait for a message on a queue. Then requirements change and I’m waiting on multiple messages from multiple other threads and suddenly I’m writing yet another state machine that async Rust would write for me.

I also wish I had “coloured” functions in my embedded code. Often times it’s not even documented if a function blocks or not, and sometimes the behaviour changes depending on compile time configuration (blocking, or interrupt driven, or DMA, etc.).

Async Rust certainly has it’s complexity too, but at least to my brain it would make a lot of my code much simpler.

I need to find some time to really dig into Embassy one of these days.

No job is safe from AI?

Startrekers, Inc.

Totally!

I hit burnout an now “productivity” is a dirty word. I’ve discovered that it is healthy to take time for yourself, even if it is to literally do nothing.

Programming is both my career and hobby, but I’ve had to adjust my free time to allow my mind to just let go a bit more often.

Was that the episode where he seduces the village elder’s daughter after winning 10 arm wrestling matches in a row at the tavern?

This is the story of a little ship that took a little trip

Came here to say exactly this.

I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.

He likes their opera?

I think the officers do get some form of stipend. I can’t recall if this was mentioned directly in the show though.

Do we know if any Federation members use money?

In Star Trek, all the software is built by prompting some AI, so nobody knows what the fuck the code is actually doing. 😅

Allamaraine, then three more

Are they not sending out emergency messages via the cell network? Is it not on local news and the radio? Doesn’t YouTube have the ability to inject regional advertising? Are they not even putting up road signs mentioning the evacuation?

I don’t get how it’s Facebook’s problem when not everyone has a Facebook account and there are many other (better) avenues.

Maybe I’m missing something about the infrastructure in more remote areas?

Wikipedia is pretty good for computer sciency stuff. I’ll often use it as a reference for things like protocols or if I need a quick refresher for some algorithm.
