Honestly, you ever tried to look back through a long thread on Discord? It’s impossible. If you want to read the original message that started the thread, good luck, you’ll be scrolling all day and may never get there. How anyone can claim that’s “easy to use” is beyond me.

Discord works for quick discussions happening right now, and that’s it.

I used to work at a company that held to the concept of “don’t be a hero.” Basically, if you were having to step up, work overtime, and always go out of your normal routine to “fix” stuff, then you’re actually enabling bad processes.

I think the same concept applies here. If you can’t let any code be submitted without personally reviewing it, then there is something wrong with either the review system, the onboarding system for new devs, or the continuous integration system that should be catching mistakes. Same goes for triaging: if no one is triaging because it’s too exhausting and leads to burnout, then some other system may need to be devised for handling outstanding issues.

Obviously this is much harder to deal with in an organization where most contributors are volunteers. But if we want the project to survive and not be taken over by corporations who can afford to pay people to deal with this stuff full time, I think it should be addressed in a different way.

Don’t forget to upload them all to crates.io. Add them to the list of useless crates that no one will ever use.

I’m curious to see whether this survey shows that the amount of jobs programming Rust has increased.

I don’t really get why we need social media elements in GitHub at all

First 1/3rd is a bit of fluff but after that, good article.

Ah yes, the Wadsworth constant.

That’s actually what the comment above was suggesting, which is why I was wondering why you couldn’t get it to work. Glad you got it working!

Can you show us your code for when you tried this suggestion?

What does “FE” stand for in this context? Sorry if it’s obvious, I just don’t see anywhere that it’s actually written out.

I sure hope this is not how most CS courses are being taught

You gonna do Rust again?

I thought problem inputs were randomized for each user?

Anyone got a non-paywalled link?

It’s been this way for years. Really?

Oh, is this what they meant by “commenting your code”?

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.

Diesel is well-known for having some of the worst errors in the ecosystem. This is far from the rule.

I would argue that in this case the maintainers are in the wrong for not even responding to the issue, not the reporter responding with memes.

I’ve seen this same thing happen with Python’s type hints. Turns out giving an “escape hatch” type for devs who have no clue what the type actually is leads to a lot of useless type hints.

What tests? There is no hyperlink, for all I know, these are just some hidden tests that the owners of the competition run on the solutions to verify them. There is no link to Prettier at all, and at a first read it’s very unclear this is what they want you to do if you aren’t already familiar with the tool they want you to recreate.
