The one thing i find hard about rust is that most of the programs I write for my day to day use are things that basically just call linux system calls, or use popular C libraries, things that C++ is extremely good at. Or they're things that are trivial to do in python.

So as much as I like Rust, I don't actually know how to perform a sha256sum on a file and then set an xattr for it (without shelling out or downloading a random crate).

It's little things like that that keep it from being my go-to, but it's really good and I want to use it more.

Yeah if we're gonna pick a newfangled (invented post 2010) language I feel like it should support const.

That sounds really fun

When I was a kid playing Oregon Trail I always named my characters things like "someone", " nobody", "everybody", etc. So that when you're fording a river or what have you, it would say things like "Everybody drowned fording the river. Nobody was injured."

As the self appointed CFO of jstpst dot net, I can assure you that our best business strategy is to file erratic lawsuits accusing former customers of crimes.

STOP that!!!

there's gotta be a SQL update you could run to fix it. But please don't take down the site doing it

no way!

Probably because of computers

"Self-declared leftists are supporting maduro, Putin, and Assad. Whoever they think they're on the side of, it's not workers." Who even thinks this one? Yet I could dig up a blue sky post from a fairly mainstream person saying it. This one in particular bugged me with the equating of the three of them. But what leftist is supporting Putin?

Plenty of people like, don't want a war with Russia and think arming Ukraine is dangerous, and you can critique that if you want, but there's no "leftists" supporting Putin.

IDK I think there is a use for keeping the same stream open if you're a big website serving a lot of clients tbh. Each TCP handshake takes three packets minimum (unless you use TCP fastopen which is its whole own thing), and then if you want SSL on top of that there's even more latency, especially for slow connections, plus the computation, which is small per request but if you're a big site serving a lot of people it adds up. Even if you're not jamming your page full of ten trillion google ads it can add up.

Using the same connection again if you expect the client to make another one pretty soon makes a lot of sense.

I don't do web dev tho so what do I know.
