This guy’s got great taste in films, I’ll have to watch some of those that I haven’t and then I get to enjoy the book cover.

If there’s not much in it, I’ll go with the rust app because I like to use something I can see myself contributing to if the urge takes me.

I know other languages, but there’s no way I’m driving into a random C++ codebase unless I’m confident it’s a trivial fix.

I would have posted this it you hadn’t.

I have it set as my default shell on my main machine, but it’s not going anywhere near my servers! It’s definitely the most fun shell I’ve used, and hopefully some more of the warts can be shaved off as it matures.

Some great lines in this film. Perhaps my favourite is

I watched this for the first time the other day and was shocked they didn’t make more (particularly as I’d noticed some other The Nice Guys titles in imdb but they’re all shorts or what would have been DVD extras once upon a time). Given that this was initially developed as a series, I’m sure they have more stories to tell, It’s a real shame.

I hate seeing new IPs not get traction as it just leads execs to churn out more of the same old remakes and repeats.

I love that it’s got the summary at the start, very respectful of readers’ time 👍

From the first paragraph:

And best of all, NASA says it will be “ad-free, no cost, and family-friendly”

Looks like you’re one of those who just assumes they know what a story’s about after glancing at the link title…

Yes, that’s where I got that image from. My curiosity is at the level of “I’d happily watch/read a clear explanation, preferably with animation” but not at “let’s wade through this patent that’s not written to help people understand”.

I’m already reading RFCs with my free time, I’ve got to draw the line somewhere!

You’ve got me wondering exactly how the mechanical version works . There’s probably a Youtube video in it, for anyone reading who wants ideas.

That’s a great explanation of how the algorithm works, thanks.

Are you the crate’s author?

People who see my code start feeling ill and start shifting their eyes nervously.

To be honest, I had this reaction just reading your description. But, if it’s a only personal project there’s no harm, as long as you’re not selling it as a new best practice!

He does, but the title makes it sound like he’s criticising when he’s just explaining some context.

He says they write their engines to be closely modelled on the specs, and that the web and the web spec is an object-oriented platform.

When asked if he’d use another language for Ladybird he first answers Swift - well actually he first jokes that he’d first design a new language, then says that he looked at Rust and likes a lot of things about it. When asked about why-not-Rust he says he likes OO languages and this project should be in an OO language because so is the spec, and Rust is not OO-friendly, “it’s, like, OO-hostile”.
