While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).

You can set it to show what you want; if I’m doing TDD I’ll set it to show the test output, and then it’ll show the warnings beneath it.

You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc

But yes, it’s pretty similar to using watch.

My hope is that something like Servo gets good enough to be included, especially if it’s tree-shakable so you can only include a subset of the codebase. I don’t know if that’s a goal for either projects, but it would be cool - the default webviews can be quite lacking so currently you need to use a restricted set of HTML/CSS/JS to guarantee compatibility.

I see! Great work, along with plenty of others in your post history.

Is this unedited, or did you bring out that contrast in post?

btw, it’s a rite of passage.

This is an amazing shot. Do you have any more information, like the artist?

My (ISO) keyboards do, under the Esc key. I guess you’re in North America (or Australia) and have an ANSI layout.

Ah yeah, missed that 🤦‍♂️

Because this is the internet, I can’t tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder…

I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won’t even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there’s not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

And “if you’re not paying you’re the product” is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.

Perhapsburg they are

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

The term you want is “cross compile”. I’ve developed simple programs for the Pi on Windows and it’s simple enough to produce a static binary (using Rust, anyway). When extra dependencies come in it’s better to develop on the same OS, but targeting different architectures is the easy bit.

Token-based string distances looks like exactly what I need for my current side project - I’m using Levenshtein but I should be comparing based on words, not characters.

I just need to figure out which (if any) of these does what I need.

Edit: looks like the Python version has that information: https://github.com/life4/textdistance?tab=readme-ov-file#algorithms

How did you find Leptos to work with? I never got further than the tutorial so I have yet to form a real opinion on it.

It’s a subtle difference between that and path::exists().

• path::exists() == false might just mean you can’t use it (if path::exists() cannot access a file due to e.g. permissions, it’ll return false)
• fs::exists() == Ok(false) means it’s definitely not there (permissions error will cause an Err to be returned)
