The authors praised Rust debugging capabilities (also) in VScode, can somebody point to some references on this? From what I’ve seen around and what I’m able to debug in my VScode environment I might be missing something…
For Linux, I haven't used VSCode for debugging myself, just `gdb --tui`. Since VSCode supports driving gdb I would think everything would work fine.
For Windows, I used to debug Rust using Visual Studio (not Code) without problems, because Windows binaries built for the windows-msvc target generate regular .pdb files that VS can work with regardless of the source language.
Both VS and gdb have a problem where the representation of Rust values when printed / watched is funky, especially with enums, because the Rust type gets translated into C terms. But it's not unworkable.
This is something I’d love to try on my personal projects.
I recently used act[0] to locally test my GitHub actions pipelines and worked okay, the fact that I could interact with the Dagger API via a Python SDK could be even more convenient, will definitely try!
He's probably referring to the trading desk or similar teams.
Stock traders forced a lot of advances onto software. Random examples of high-perf stuff from that space include the new garbage collector in the JVM with a minimal pause time and LMAX Disruptor. Multi-threaded GUIs are relatively common in that space as well, to ensure that one hung control or window won't stop anything else.
I've known a handful of software engineers who have stopped through The Trade Desk for a year or less. It doesn't sound like a great place to work to me, despite the high throughput their software demands.
Ed: “If you can’t get the work done, then the past two years are basically worth nothing … There were at least five times, a good five times, where I totally broke down and I just didn’t want to do it anymore … I was actually really worried that either Tommy or I would die in the process of making this.”
I absolutely loved the Last Dance but I really like basketball. I wouldn’t recommend it to non-fans of basketball though (basing this off a small sample size of friends).
FWIW, I was absolutely captivated for all of Last Dance, and I don't watch basketball. But I do have an affinity for "30 for 30"-style docs on the human interest side of sports.
I’m not into sports and I don’t follow basketball. I couldn’t tell you beyond really famous basketball players who the majority of players are. And although I grew up in Jordan’s era of basketball, I didn’t watch his games. All that to say, I enjoyed it.
If you like something, recommending it is fine. Let the people decide if it’s a topic they’re interested in it or not.
+1 for Icarus. Until just a few years ago, cycling was up to its eyeballs and doping. Wasn’t just one American, one Italian, or one German. It was nearly everyone.
> If one million people came together to put solar panels on roofs - that would be cool!
That would be “cool” and actually great. The problem is that people who cannot get through the month because the bills have skyrocketed, cannot afford the upfront price of installing solar panels. So unless there’s government intervention, I don’t really think this would be feasible.
They cannot get through the month, but they have time to start a fight with the legal system by withholinding their due payments and then deal with whatever trouble comes from it?
What?! Following this logic then, the bread riots in the French Revolution[0] would not have happened because “they don’t have the money but they have time to start riots to demand a cap on the price of the good”?
By the way, I’m not commenting on whether this is the right approach to the issue, just commenting the current situation considering what’s happening now.
