  • Not an expert in both the languages but I heard that C developers are trained to use memory smartly, sometimes even reuse a range of allocated memory for completely different purpose to save cycles freeing and reallocating. But for Rust developers, everything is about making sure when one should get the hand away from the memory, and whose memory is allowed to be touched.

    Sounds to me like sharing rides that maximise economically but we may have some oops moments sitting on someone’s laps vs absolute private rides to make sure no one in your family will be harmed but we have to make sure everyone gets a car only when needed.

    It is quite interesting to see how it will work out eventually…


  • RSS works great for me though.

    I have an app on my not-so-smart phone to read news when commuting. It is not a long journey so I just want to have a quick glance at the headlines and read the actual articles that I want to. There are only 6 sites that I am interested, but still will take quite some work to crawl from the proper websites. RSS in turn is unified so I don’t need to worry about their website layouts, formats, etc. It also gives me an URL to the actual content which I can use readability/reader mode library to parse and further reduce unnecessary contents.

    Quite the opposite, I hope more informational sites offer/keep RSS! (Some removed RSS typically after a revamp, design change)
