Community Picks·3yRust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. Starship is fast, highly customizable, and has a great default theme and settings. Exa is a bit faster than LSD for tree views and can show the Git status of files and folders. I prefer exa due to the Git support and faster tree views.

Medium·3yUsing Rust at a startup: A cautionary tale
Using Rust at a startup will almost certainly involve a nontrivial productivity hit that could be a major factor if you are trying to move fast. With Rust, one needs to learn entirely new ideas — things like lifetimes, ownership, and the borrow checker. Rust has a huge learning curve, even for experienced programmers.
DEV·3yTidy up your machine with Visual Studio Code Dev Containers
The Visual Studio Code Dev Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder or repository inside a container and take advantage of Visual Studio code's full feature set. So far, after the startup, you're ready to develop inside the docker container with a fully configured environment.
Pointer·3yopenai/whisper: Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision
Whisper Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multi-task model that can perform multilingual speech recognition. Whisper's performance varies widely depending on the import whisper model = whisper. The codebase is expected to be compatible with Python 3.7 or later and recent andrecent and recent PyTorch versions.
Medium·3yTauri vs. Electron for Tray Apps
With Electron, you start out with an 85MB bundle size for almost no functionality, and most apps come up to a 150MB download easily. Tauri takes a radically different approach in how it is implemented. We’re going to try and rebuild most of its parts in Tauri, and see what works.
Medium·3yFive Reasons Why You Should Learn Rust
Rust's ownership model is genuinely a new and refreshing concept for me, says Idan Zalzberg. Rust guarantees memory safety without garbage collectors or automatic reference counting. Rust expands that idea into thread safety. It's a new mental model and can take some time to learn.

Hacker News·3yTales of the M1 GPU
Alyssa Rosenzweig started working on reverse engineering the M1 GPU in April. She started writing an M1 driver for Mesa, the Linux userspace graphics stack, and just a few months later she was already passing 75% of the GL2 conformance 2 conformance. Earlier this year, her work was so far ahead.
InfoWorld·3yThe best new features in Next.js 13
Next.js 13 is the newest version, released by Vercel at the Next.js conference in October 2022. It brings a slew of new features, including a bundler called Turbopack and support for React-incubated optimizations like React Server Components and streaming rendering.
Coins Bench·3yWill your Rust skills pay the Bills? Show me what you got.
Rust is a strongly typed language, meaning data-types are important. The key difference between Arc and Rc is that Arc is thread safe, while Rc isn’t. Arc uses atomic operations to manage the reference count, which gives it a higher runtime cost but makes it safe to share between threads. Some of Rust’s smart pointers, need to dig deep into this.
Changelog·3yUsing Rust at a startup: A cautionary tale
Rust is a system language with high performance, super strong typing, no need for garbage collection, etc. But it's often used in situations where it's not a great fit, and teams pay the price of Rust’s complexity and overhead without getting much benefit.
