I don't see the point in AI code completions, they are just distracting noise. I'm only doing bigger changes with AI.

Prompt based stuff, like "extract the filtering part from all API endpoints in folder abc/xyz. Find a suitable abstraction and put this function into filter-utils.codefile"

What tools do you use to perform such tasks?

> This function might not catch all Rust panics. A Rust panic is not always implemented via unwinding, but can be implemented by aborting the process as well. This function only catches unwinding panics, not those that abort the process.

Lorak_ · 8 months ago

As far as I know panics abort instead of unwinding in three cases: - When a panic happens during panic unwinding - When the application (not the dependency!) sets panics to abort in Cargo.toml - When the target doesn't support unwinding.

Which of those is the case for the desktop app described by the parent?

Surprised more people don't talk about panics and third party libraries.

So a panic is when something happens that shouldn't and you want the app to just die. But the problem is that third party libraries can do this as well. And there is no way to wrap this behaviour.

For example, I used a PDF library that would panic when the file was doing something not in the spec. And rather than me being able to put up a dialog that said "this PDF is invalid" my entire process would die. Not great for a desktop app.

It is one of the more insane situations I've ever seen in programming in 30+ years. You literally have to beg third party developers to consider what is best for you rather than them.

I agree that libraries should avoid panicking, but it is not true you can't do anything about it. You can wrap a call to such library into https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html

Now that few people use it, major sites are not just no longer testing on Firefox they are actively blocking it. Slack, for instance.

Lorak_ · 10 months ago

I use Slack on Firefox for over 3 years now, without any issues. I've never seen any blocking attempt.

Are you planning to support more of mermaids features? I tried one example where this could be useful to me - Mermaids gitGraph - and it looks like it's not supported.

> And you can have a project that mixes those editions, and cargo will correctly use the edition asked for each crate.

I'm curious - if you had a `pub fn async(...){...}` in some 2016 crate, can you still call it from a 2024 codebase?

Does it support building native extensions and Cython modules or are setuptools still the only reasonable way to do this?

This for me does not make sense as a copyright violation. It’s like saying that Adobe is in trouble because you drew something infringing in Photoshop. If you prompt the model with the intention of creating something infringing by mentioning the name of the characters and the work, and you get something infringing out, then it’s you who have infringed the copyright, not the maker of the tool.

Lorak_ · 2 years ago

Did you read the article? It shows a lot of examples when no specific names are mentioned, or even with very generic prompts producing copyrighted material.

Do you plan to create native desktop app? Android app looks and feels good, but the desktop one is terribly slow (especially scrolling), probably due to being written in TS... I used Linux AppImage version if that matters.

Why don't you mention the fact that it is Mac-only before bottom of the page (download section)?
