Sometime I’m developing in Rust and I do something wrong.
Then I look at the terminal and it says...
“You did X, did you mean to do Y”
Then I do it and it works perfectly, and I’m like...
Why do I even have a job if the compiler is this good?7 -
"Linux is too hard and it's a waste of time"
"Trying to use vim makes writing code impossible. It's too ancient"
"Windows has gotten better"
"C/c++ is showing it's age and will be replaced by something like d or rust" yeah call me when that happens
"C# is good"
"Java is okay"
And many others.88 -

Never gonna happen:
* Port our API to graphql. Or even make it just vaguely rest-compliant. Or even just vaguely consistent.
* Migrate from mysql to postgres. Or any sane database.
* Switch codebase from PHP to... well, anything else.
* Teach coworkers to not commit passwords, API keys, etc.
* Teach coworkers to write serious commit messages instead of emoji spam
* Get a silent work environment.
* Get my office to serve better snacks than fermented quinoa spinach bars and raw goat milk kale smoothies
* Find an open source IDE with good framework magic support. Jetbrains, I'll give you my left testicle if you join the light side of the force.
* Buy 2x3 equally sized displays. I'm using 6, but they're various sizes/resolutions.
* Master Rust.
* Finish building my house. I completely replaced the roof, but still have to dig out a cellar (to hide my dead coworkers).
* Repair/replace the foundation of my house (I think Rust is easier)
* Get slim and muscular.
Realistically:
* Get a comfortable salary increase, focus more on platform infrastructure, data design, coaching
* Get fat(ter). Eating, sitting, gaming, coding and sleeping are my hobbies after all.
* Save up for the inevitable mental breakdown-induced retirement.9 -

I have my best moments but the first time I felt badass about computers was when I was at kindergarten.
There was one computer with one cool game with skateboard. I wanted to play but the other kids didn’t let me.
I thought that if it look like I fix the computer they will let me. I took me month or little more but I made shutdown bat(I didn’t really understood fully) and I added it to the game shortcut from usb.
One of the other kids started the game and the computer turned itself off. Hi tried a few times and then I offered to fix it, I created new shortcut replacing the “hacked” one and the game ran.
From that moment the computer and the game were always free for me.7 -

Books and command lines.
I don't like teachers.
I think it's because my learning process is very async and chaotic. When I see a snippet in Golang, I relate it to PHP, Rust and Haskell. I jump to resolving the problem in other languages, trying to find out which approaches work in Go.
Then I read about some computer science concept on Wikipedia and get lost in that while my hunger for knowledge and food increases. After a while I look up a recipe for a pasta salad, and while cutting bell peppers, I see the recipe in terms of typed morphisms, I sprinkle and intersperse ingredients through mapping functions, then decide to write an interpreter for the esoteric "Chef" language in Go so I can interpret my salad recipe while eating it.
Voila, I'm learning Go.
I have no patience for linear mentoring, and others have no patience for mentoring me.
But that's OK.1 -

About a week ago I bought a server rack case from some guy online for 40 bucks. When it arrived it was in the worst state I had ever seen a case. Even if I tried I wouldn't have abused a case like that. Rust... everywhere...
I stripped it down and removed all the rust I could. Then I painted it and this is the end result. Pretty cool if I say so myself :)

I've started writing Rust code for fun. My initial experience with it is that its like writing a program wearing a surgery mask and latex gloves with a condom around your keyboard, while you sit in a padded room with a nanny nagging over your shoulder.
The borrow checker is somewhat of a pain in the ass to deal with.
But that said, I've never been so safe and confident my code won't fail during runtime before.
And the best part: it's blazing fast.7 -

Update your shit Ubuntu! I have been trying to get my program to compile for the past 10 minutes, wondering what the fuck is wrong. Finally it dawns on me, fucking Ubuntu only has version 1.7.0 of Rust, so nothing fucking works. How hard is it to go, "oh look this updated" and add it to your fucking apt repository. I guess I can't be too hard on just Ubuntu here, because Rust is a shit show with their breaking changes between every God damned update. But Jesus this is frustrating, coming from somewhere like Fedora, which keeps everything up to date pretty well. FUCK, and the only reason I needed to use Ubuntu was because of their "universal packaging" called snap, but there fucking compiler snapcraft only works on Ubuntu! How the fuck are you gonna have a universal packaging software, THAT ISN'T FUCKING UNIVERSAL. Fuck Ubuntu.12

Dear Swift, we have to break up. I’ve found a new language to love. Oh don’t act so surprised, you know our relationship was on shaky ground. You never let me have any fun. You’re always telling me what to do and how to do it and I’ve had enough. You treat me like a child, and I’m moving on.
Things were good in the beginning, and you may have impressed me with your automatic reference counting, but my new language can do that too, and so much more, and does it faster than you could ever imagine. You see unlike you, my new language doesn’t boss me around. It *trusts* me, Swift. That’s the one thing you never could understand. I need to be trusted; and know that I can trust in you.
Well I can’t. Not anymore, Swift. It’s over. My new language just treats me better than you ever could. I’m sorry it came to this but I deserve better than you Swift. We’ve both known this for a long time.
I wish you the best, but you probably shouldn’t call.
I’m with Rust now.1 -
Hmmm, this feature that I added seems to make the whole process 50% longer. I need to optimize something. Let's see now...
Yeah, make that a shared resource and parallelize IO to leverage the multi-core architecture. Hash map for this, binary tree for that. This thing that gets called a million times can be written easily without a regexp. That thing can be rewritten in Rust as it's too demanding.
There! Works! And it's also a lot cleaner. Nice!
How's the performance doing? 70% longer.

Building an amazingly complex system from scratch in Rust means 2 things to me...
1. Really cool tech with great syntax to learn
2. My value as a developer will be going up a lot. In terms of the salary expectations
I really love when I get to learn a new technology, not for a project or course, but to build really cool real-world applications.
That’s what drives me!5 -
- Finish own blogging website (Vue/Flask as front/back-end)
- Improve my recently published Android App
- Learn ML (have a book for it)
- Maybe start learning Go or Rust
I guess that is way to optimistic but point 2 & 3 should be enough for 2018.
BUT there is also the real world:
- Graduating school
- Start studying.
So this is me for 2018 (at least the first half of it):

Rust, because if we can eliminate all security issues because of buffer overflows or other memory-related problems without a GC and still be as fast as with C, that would be pretty dope for everyone.1

The single most annoying thing about Rust the language, is that it shares name with Rust the game.

Does anybody find that different styles of programming suits their personality better?
I've put a lot of effort into learning Rust. I think it's type system is fantastic. But after trying to make a basic programming language interpreter in it, I found Rust too complex. I kept struggling to express my types correctly, so I spent more time trying to understand the language instead of designing and writing my program.
Now consider Go. It has some overlap in programming domains with Rust. It has almost none of the high level features of Rust baked in e.g. iterators. It's approach to programming is very imperative and procedural like C before it. If you want abstractions you will have to make them yourself. As someone who enjoys understanding the details I appreciate this step by step approach and its comparatively simple language design.
What do you think? Do you think certan programming languages are more suited to different personalities?18 -

When reading a new programming book I always go through the "who this book is for" and if they say it is not for beginners I get nervous even if I bought said book because it is supposed to be on an advanced level.
Don't know if I am being modest or just plain stupid.
I blame starting up with C and C++. Their "advanced" level shit is way different from what you find on your average web development book.
Pretty weird. Oh and Rust is pretty interesting.1 -

Hey everyone!
I'm on the hunt for new and exciting languages!
I'll state the ones I already know:
Python, Haskell, C(++), C#, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Rust, Lua, about every kind of Basic, some branches of Lisp, BrainF**k, assembly, Octo (Chip-8) and GML(basically JavaScript).
I've also learnt some styling languages:
Html, CSS, Markup and Markdown.
Some misc languages too: Regex and a runny bit of the Wolfram Language.
Also I'm kind of limited to Windows, Linux and Android, as I do not own any Apple hardware except I have access to an old iPad, so are languages like Swift still good?
Thanks!28 -

[DISCLAIMER : Potential Troll Topic here] I am self taught python and js (not considering myself as a real developer as I don't push much on github and work in a complete other field than anything related to CS right now) and would be interested to learn another language, with another paradigm. So, as I love you all, I would be interested In your highlights as I am currently considering either C, C++, Rust or Go.
with C, I know I could interface it with python. With C++ (despite Linus considering it evil) I know I could interface it with Node. I don't know currently what to do with Go, but some people seem really enthusiastic about it (not really relevant I know) and Rust seems like the C of today, with a bunch of new cool kid stuff. My main goal, after all, is to learn something new, to have another sight on programming. Either understanding more about hardware or learning another way of coding (like different from oop).
I know it sounds like a troll, but I promise it's not, just a serious genuine question (hopefully it won't be closed here like on SO)
So what do you think devranters ?
Being eternally grateful to all of you, I wish you a good night.10 -

Android flow I’ve found(fixed in android 8, working on 7.1.1):
To make app uninstallable by the normal user make the app device administrator, add “android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW” to the manifest and make sure it’s not granted by the user.
Now when you try to uninstall the app, it tells you to disable it from device administrators but the device administrator disable dialog is System Window handled by the app itself and if the app has this permission but not granted, settings will crash with SecurityException leaving the app untouched.

Day 12 of year of code,
I dicked around with some Rust because I finally have a functioning laptop again, albeit a 5 year old one my neighbor gave me. -
<story>
So a few years ago, I took an early compsci class for object-oriented programming. It was the first time my school would be using Rust instead of C++, and it came with a new instructor. The prerequisite class was taught with C, so this was a little different, and the instructor had a borderline obsessive devotion to the superiority of Rust over "unsafe languages" like C++.
While the class was large at about 250 students, he was still very unresponsive to students' struggles. In the end, it probably weeded out the ones that weren't gonna make it in the long run, but he was pretty harsh and probably made several students cry. His strict ways became a meme to us students, many of which had joined a massive Facebook group chat to help each other out when the instructor didn't. I estimate that 80% of the class was either in the chat or had a friend in the chat.
Meanwhile, I was somehow gliding along just fine. I was one of the few students to get all 100% on the homework assignments. This wasn't hard, since you could submit it as many times as you wanted until the due date, and the grading site gave instant feedback. After completing each assignment in like 30 minutes, I would go on the class forum and start helping people out. Because it had my real name, some people (not part of the group) would message me on Facebook asking for help, sometimes for money. Even now, I'll meet people who recognize my name as the guy who was always helping people in that class, and some even thought I was a TA. I'm not so sure why I was doing fine, since I hadn't heard of Rust at the time like almost everyone else, but I'd probably credit it to having learned other languages in my free time. There were some really smart, compsci-fluent people who just couldn't learn from the instructor.
Tests were extremely hard. Rust is all about using the compiler to tell you what you messed up, and we had to handwrite the whole thing. The questions were pretty simple, but you'd get points off for stuff like type errors, which would be easily solved with the compiler. On top of that, the instructor would not take any excuses for missing tests. He said that if you got your hand cut off, you could still write with your other hand. Someone went on the forum complaining about how she was so sick she couldn't stand but still didn't get to retake the test. I'm pretty sure she was a generic entitled person with a fake excuse, but if someone with a legitimate excuse tried, they wouldn't have been able to retake it either.
By the end of the class, everyone hated Rust. It was unfortunate because since then, and to a certain extent during, I learned it's a really good language. The worst part is probably the name.
When we were nearing the end, someone posted on the forum with a passage from the Book of Rust Christ. The instructor quoted it in a message to the class later.

Started learning Rust yesterday. As a web developer I like the static typing and the speed. I want to know a low-level language to complement Python but kind of dislike C and C++ and that's why I chose Rust. At the moment the syntax still feels kind of foreign but I probably need to just man up and embrace it. :)9 -

Why does my brain just struggle so much with Rust.
So much of the design fundamentals I've learnt over the last 10 years from doing OO in memory managed languages don't carry over very well into Rust, and my brain is sucking at coming up with alternatives, or finds the alternatives I do make ugly.

Fucking experimental technologies. I feel like doing webassembly stuff is like buying a smart device, it's not worth any of the trouble for now.
I wanted to do some webassembly-stuff with rust and yew (basically react for rust). I was really hyped because it all looked promising and i found this cool band "heilung" whose music made me my coding feel like black magic with complex incantations and shit.
A basic webassembly setup did work, but everything afterwards was pure shit. Crate installation didn't go as expected, i get weird errors even though i simply copied the example (and checked the versions). The best i got was when i tried to compile and rust told me to go fuck myself because i cant use feature XY in a package in the stable environment. Why the hell would someone even publish said package then? After losing half a day because of this i give up for now. I don't feel like a badass magician anymore anyways, more like the guy that puts mentos into coke and gets hit by the foam. -

Started working on a per project in Rust (first time using Rust) .. a scripting language.
Rust is great, so fast, compiles in 0.5-1.2seconds on my $200 laptop as well! Pretty rare for safety, speed, AND compile speed to exist in one beautiful language.
Also my scripting language is the opposite of beautiful. Oh God.3 -
Software engineering doesn't evolving the way you think of it.
There are no new big patterns. There are no new big concepts and ideas to bring that evolution to us. Rob Pike thinks that the concepts he used twenty years ago are the best possible way of implementing everything and he creates Golang.
The evolution of software engineering, and maybe the whole evolution as a concept is a tick-tock. Software engineering had its latest tick at nineties, when the concepts we call modern were developed. And the latest tock was the rise of the internet, and it given the single-computer-centered Von Neumann architecture really hard challenges. I mean ticks are theoretical inventions and patterns and ideas and etc, while tock is more of some practical, business-oriented implementations.
PHP is still in use. We have troubles with scaling and deployment. Banking systems still run old Java, Windows XP and even COBOL. We had persistence really, really long time ago, and now frontenders reinvent it and call it 'immutability'!
We had our tick many, many years ago. It's time for tock. With not only scientific but commercial use of things such as Clojure, CRDTs and maybe Rust lang, we are heading straight to our new big tock, which'll bring us new great problems to solve.
That's how any evolution goes. -

One day every 2 week, we got to spend the Friday just learning and trying stuff. No working on projects unless it's critical.
On these days, I feel like I learn much more than in the rest of the weeks.
Today I built (normally Python developer) a web service using Rust. -
What should I learn first, Python or Rust?

What's the hype about Rust
I've been seeing post about Rust everywhere and I got curious so I checked the repo. However, I'm not sure what is it for.
Is it like C/C++, low level languages that can be used for desktop and CLI, or is it a AI-oriented, etc?
Give me an example like "it could replace C#" or something.3 -
Assuming you're not a beginner , which language would you learn right now (or) which language would you prefer to stick with provided you already know it.
*The assumption made is to prevent comments on python cause that's usually beginners choice
Personally I want to hone my skills in rust.12 -
A relationship is, in my mind, like learning Rust.
There's a ton of excitement and hype about it. Everyone seems to think about it and talk about it all the time, but it looks so darn hard.
When you fuck up just a little bit, it complains and complains. It doesn't even let you run unless it's having a really good day and you manage not to mess it up.
Everyone wants it, some hate it, and everyone knows about it.
So goes my thoughts about relationships between humans.1 -
For all the cheap-ass sys admins:
I wouldn’t pay 100$ a year to apple just to have push notifications when my server fucks up or an user fill my support form but I want to know that in real time but I have iPhone(forget about FCM).
So I downloaded pushbullet to my phone and integrated its API in my server and when something important happen I get completely free notification which (thanks to url schemes in ios) redirect me to my server administration app.
Note: I used xamarin for my management app to be ready for the moment when I switch back to android.2 -
For fuck sake, stop complaining about the number of js libs. There is just as many if not more c/c++/c#/java/python/ruby/php... libs.
Just because they are available on npm or github, it doesn't mean you have to fucking see/read/use it1 -
Where are recently all this rust posts coming from? Did I just not notice them for the last half year or have they just started a few days ago? And why now?

What would be the best "hot"/upcoming languages for a final year college project?
The project will focus on reverse engineering.
Basic Example: Intercepting signals from products such as a toy helicopters/drones/etc, reverse engineer the signals and try gain control of the device from that.
That's just a very basic function and there will be much more to it, but I'm struggling to decide on a language to pursue hand-in-hand with this project!
I hear Rust, Go, Julia and co being tossed around a lot.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Cheers7 -
WTF, Rust. You are so fucking hard to write, and TBH, your docs are not understandable. Please writte your docs to be understandable, and make it fun to read, like golang does.
WTF, Rust. I am now looking, for 5 hours straight, for a solution for reading stdin into a variable. Nothing. 6 fucking solutions for 6 different rust versions of which not one works. Nothing is readable. Explain the philosophy of you language! What the hell is this?! Is your language based on the C family? On which is it based?! fucking idiots6 -
I've already gave Go, Rust, and Kotlin a whack at to varies degrees of success. Now I want to try out the Swift programming language. But it's macOS and Linux only, and I'm stuck on Windows. I get it, Apple, you're not Mozilla, nor did you make the language an EMCA standard like Microsoft did for .NET/C#. Still, they're so close to having Swift not end up like Objective-C - not that it was a great begin with.
Credit for at least being open source, though.1 -

At some point I was watching a sethbling video about programming mining turtles in a Minecraft mod called computer craft, which uses a reimplementation of lua with some mod specific functions. This inspired me to learn lua, then as I got bored with that I started moving through different languages until I settled on primarily kotlin and rust1
-
I wanted to learn a new language.
Started looking through jvm languages first because thats where i feel home, but they are all just subpar versions of java.
Then i started looking at script languages but anything they do, i can just do with java (i know js too, dont recommend that)
Out of the other languages, c# is the only thing that can give me something extra through unity, but hell, i can just use jMonkey.
So my questions is, can you give me languages that are both useful and unique? Also, opinions on Rust please.8 -

Few weeks ago I tried making a discord bot in python. It was really easy but I couldn't even make simple things with it. Then I looked around different libraries and found serenity library for rust. I then started reading "The rust programming language, second edition". It wasn't super hard because I already have a lot of experience with C++. Now I have a fully working rewrite of my python bot in Rust with even more features than original. List of available commands in screenshot, with list_srv (admin command which lists all every server my bot is in) that didn't fit into my screen. I currently host it on my pc so it does not work at night but I need an alternative. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 model B which I almost never use, should I use it as a host for my bot or are there any other good alternatives? Anyway, I'm happy with the result and I like pretty much most things in Rust.

Been thinking about taking up server-side programming (I'm mobile).
Any tips?
Should I go with something like node.js, which I'm a bit familiar with and is quite popular or should I try another language/platform? Maybe Rust (given it's similar to Swift) or even Swift itself.
Any good resources (tutorials, guides, etc.) would be much appreciated, especially if they focus on security.

Being fairly new to the software game I’ve yet to tried my fair share of languages, both at work at a professional level and small to medium sized projects at home. I’m now starting to see patterns and different features in languages, and I must say that Rust is a language that blew me away totally.
I read the online book and then I wrote a few small programs. It feels super modern with all the cool features and it’s so fast. The threshold can be high, depending on your background.
I’m no pro using the language at all, but I enjoy it so much. I urge you to try Rust for your next project. The community around the language is also very interesting and welcoming.

Hey folks,
So, rust.
Has anyone any ideas on a decent way to learn it? I feel of all the languages I've ever looked into it has the least about of resources of any discernable quality available. Even the docs can be a but dodge. Would I be better off learning pure c and then migrating? (as I imagine is the pathway of the standard rust user)
Any other recommendations would be deadly!9 -

I wanna seriously start learning another programming language, and I have three that I really wanna learn but I can't decide which one would be best to learn first. For some background, I vehemently prefer web development over anything else development-related. I have almost solely been developing frontend, and I am extremely interested in getting more into backend development. So, which one should I pick and why?
- Rust
- Ruby
- Go15 -
Hi devRant,
I'm starting a little side project (a web app for finding/booking musicians) and have to decide which language to use for the backend. I have broad experience with Java and C#, but it would also be nice to learn something new (Kotlin? Go? Rust?)
Additionally, what's your recommendation for databases? (SQL vs. NoSQL vs. ...)
For the frontend, I'd like to use typescript, webpack and Vue.js.
Any thoughts? ;)8 -
I'm learning a new lang. Read all of the introductory guide. Have an algp to implement.

Ryan Dahl working on Deno is one of the current interesting projects that I have been following.
Initially, the dude was trying to use Golang and is currently migrating to cpp and rust since Golang is a gc language. Nothing wrong with that really. I am just excited to see what this man comes up, and Typescript as the main language? Fuck yeah.
This shit js gonna be bomb af. Happy to see him talk to openly about his flaws when building Node, which was still a massive success and a true game changer for a lot of people(me included) and I believe that Deno will repeat this. It already has 24k stars on Github and tracking the repo has become very interesting! I just wish i had the cpp/rust knowledge needed to help out with it.3 -

Finally finished my macOS+iOS project.
Mac app which play your YouTube playlist while displaying changeable image next to the player with the workout you are doing. It has features like:
-saving workout details in calendar
-download the currently playing video
-remove song from current playlist and add it to playlist with Old songs
-save the remaining songs of the playlist shuffled to new playlist to listen to them from your phone while you take a bath after the workout for example
-the app detects three playlists based on the description:
*”music” in description for Music playlist
*”newest old” in description for Old songs playlist
*”rest songs” in description for rest songs playlist(the songs you didn’t listened to from music playlist, this playlist is auto generated on exit if you want)
-the app can play any playlist or video from YouTube sent by the iOS app over tcp and add a song to your Music playlist if you liked it.
The iOS app features:
-gesture control for the main app over TCP
-chart for the weekly calorie burn retrieved from calendar.

Hi fellow DevRanters! I've been studying software engineering for a while now and, while I love programming, I'm starting to think that all I'll be doing as a software engineer now a days is pulling data from a database, sticking it in a nice gui with some buttons and moving on to the next, similar, project. At the same time I am loving linux more and more, I love working with bash and other unix-like tools and I am interested in systems languages like C and Rust. It is for these reasons that I am playing with the idea of switching to Systems and network engineering. What are your thoughts on this? Is Systems and network engineering a field in which I get to program a lot? Will there be more variation in it? Is my view of software engineering completely off? Please share your thoughts and opinions!2 -
I know this is a recurring question. What language to learn in 2018?

It's been a while, hoes. I've been doing tons of shit, so much that I totally forgot this place even existed. I've been learning Haskell (which I absolutely love, don't get me wrong) but I'm hella pissed it has a garbage collector. Let me manage my own memory dammit. Rust is cool and all, but I'm falling for that functional shit. I'm currently doing a naive neural network in Haskell (naive as in I'm not using stochastic anything because I'm not smart enough), and also working on some new curriculum content on freeCodeCamp, introducing iterators and generators. It's been fucking busy. I haven't got to do FCC as much because recompiling to see the changes takes about, say, 10 minutes at a time, so if you make a typo in your JavaScript, open up your console, and see that error message, you'll feel nothing but self-loathing as you go back and recompile.
This summer, I am tasked with moving our production server from PHP5 to PHP7, and our current CMS has been modified in a way to be only compatible with PHP5 (as in, someone went in to the source code [and did not make a plugin] and modified the CMS), so now we are probably going to have to start everything over, or do the painstaking process of finding all of the modifications and reverting them, and then seeing the reverberations across the website of that, and fix everything. Not in the mood.
One (now previous, graduated) member of our team brought up the idea of straight up dropping everything and moving to a new language. I honestly don't even know where to start in doing so. Our code is vanilla PHP, no Laravel, no nothing, just hypertext pre-processing. I cannot fathom how the graphic designers and people who aren't too familiar with the system would handle such a shift in paradigm. On one hand, I would love to use something like Rust, with Rocket and a compile-time template engine (aka not Handlebars), but on the other hand, not everyone in the team is as experienced as me, so there would be a whole new learning curve that disregards all the previous progress they made in PHP.
Even though freeCodeCamp and the PHP migration are pretty time-consuming tasks, I really enjoy everything I'm doing this summer. I'm teaching myself new things (Haskell + neural nets), teaching other people new things (FCC), and doing some actual work that can be put on my resume (PHP).
I dabbled a bit a few months ago in Lua, which is kind of like Python, but the arrays start at one so fuck that language, damn it to hell.
Bye hoes.5 -

I want to learn a new front and back end webdev language. So far, I've found Dart and TypeScript (though this one is not completely new to me) on the front end side, and Go, Elixir and Rust on the back end side. As I don't have too much free time, I can choose one of both sides for now, but I can't decide which ones to go with, since I can read so many pro-contra opinions.
I only need to choose for the skill, I don't have any specific target, I just want to learn new stuff.
Which ones do you suggest?1 -
Too early in the year for goals so far, but I'll give it a shot. Here's what I'm gunning for in the short-term:
Week 85 - 2018 Dev/Coding Goals:
- Continue educating myself in the Rust programming language (I feel like I dropped the ball there last year, Rust is easy to get programmer's block because it's syntax isn't always clear what should be done with it and/or why, the references. Ugghh fml).
- Get feature parity of PYXReloaded with it's predecessor, and get most of the planned features implemented. Friends of mine really want this and like screencaps I've sent already. It's a project I've been working on with @Gianlu for the past few days.
Week 85 - 2018 General/Personal Goals:
- Get over my motivational issues.
- Get over my depression/loneliness
- Get over my social anxiety.
I'm trying to better myself, both in coding and personal life. I fucking love this community. I used to use Reddit to find posts exactly like the ones here, but this is wayyy better and has everything all in one place.
Have a prosperous 2018, guys. Remember not to look at what you want to get done in just 365 days. You need to see the big picture. -

You know how people rant about js frameworks; well the very same is true about nosql.
I thought let me broaden my horizon (pun intended) with a nosql db in my project.
So from Friday evening, I started off with ElasticSearch, which is pretty simple to get started, but apparently I need to understand it a lot better to use it as a primary data-store.
Then I stumble upon orient-db, was pretty exciting and learnt the apis/librarys but researching it a bit more to learn about the community; there is some bad-blood there.
Now I'm onto something called ArangoDB, think I'll stick with this; Any more time spent on this and I'll just give up on the project.5 -

This thing always bugs me. What should i do totally??
I've been experimenting with all kinds of development. Web, mobile, system, desktop apps and softwares. I don't know which one i should choose as a career. I like doing everything and will code till the end of time. But, Frontend stuff, UI/UX doesn't interest me. I love writing softwares that makes things easier. Like Rails made web development easier and fun. I have been following Redox OS which is built using Rust and my interest in OS has been propelled. I have interest in cloud development too. I don't know which i should choose for my profession. I am currently a student so i have a lot of time to try everything but i don't know what i should do professionally. Any suggestions guys?4 -

I'm currently working on a WebAssembly proof of concept where I need to generate a unique id, but since threading is currently not supported (rust and webassembly) I cant use half of the libraries currently out.
And the ones that does work... guess what... are not compatible with the nightly build of the compiler I'm using for Rust. Just fucking end me.
The legit only workaround I can find is to make a server request and get the unique id from there... piece of cunt software...I need a break 😑 -
Has anyone here tried nim lang?
I have been intrigued by it, but not sure if it will stay around for the long run. I believe they have been trying to reach v 1.0 for a while, but it is taking longer than expected.
Would be interested your opinions :) -

Writing the general memory allocator for my hobby os. It's kludgy, but it works.
I add a single for-loop that executes well after that.
The frame allocator can't initialize.
