lmao what book is this?

It's like saying someone stole your bike and you don't want to be immoral by stealing it back.

So, the argument was that there was absolutely no way whatsoever that one could figure out they needed to depend on mio for a good event loop interface. It was totally an insurmountable task!

You still see this same mindset now with people making things like blessed.rs. It's the same idea, just not wrapped into a library. I find it hilarious when it gets shared in discussions and some people go "oh wow so helpful!", as if we all couldn't have found serde and rand on crates.io without it.

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

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

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.

Wow, I'm really disappointed, it's just full of posts from parody accounts with people in the comments not realizing it isn't real.

Hard to say without being able to see the comments. I suspect that if that were the case, the entire post would have been removed.

I don't think that necessarily holds true for OSS. The average user with no development experience wanting to use an open source project doesn't mean it will always develop faster.

Same quote of the week as last week?

I was originally introduced to the idea by this RustConf 2018 keynote: https://kyren.github.io/2018/09/14/rustconf-talk.html. It's rather dense though.

I did find this random article that outlines just the concept of generational indices pretty concisely: https://lucassardois.medium.com/generational-indices-guide-8e3c5f7fd594

That quote of the week is hilarious
