Wintamute commented on Farewell, Rust for web   yieldcode.blog/post/farew... · Posted by u/skwee357

This is oddly timed in as much as one of the big success stories I've heard from a friend is their new practice of having Claude Code develop in Rust, than translate that to WebAssembly.

That seems much more like the future than embracing Node... <emoji here>

Wintamute · 23 days ago
If you’re making a web app your fancy rust wasm module still has to interface with the dom, so you can’t escape that. Claude might offer you some fake simplicity on that front for awhile, but skeptical that’s it fully scalable

Can they disambiguate between spike protein microclots produced by natural infection vs. those generated by the vaccines.

I literally just want Rust style macros and proc macros in JavaScript. e.g. using

``` const MyComponent = () => jsx!(<div></div>) ```

rather than a .tsx file.

That or wasm to be usable so I can just write my web apps in Rust

Writing a web app at the moment with C++/Emscripten. What makes wasm unusable in Rust?

The commenter talked about new projects, why are you talking about the web browser and the OS?
Wintamute · 7 months ago
Working on a major new project right now in C++. In our case, it’s a high performance 2D GPU accelerated drawing application - C++ and many of its battle hardened/established libs are the only game in town. Rust is a non-starter for a large range of apps
Wintamute commented on Layoff at Sketch (Over 80 People)   linkedin.com/posts/sketch... · Posted by u/langitbiru

I’m sorry to hear this, but as an active user, here is what they delivered in the past 3 years:

1. Not much that I’d use or remember

2. No AutoLayout - which is a definite must have for anyone designing interfaces

Wintamute · 3 years ago
Doesn't Sketch have smart layout in symbols? And they released multiplayer coediting last year.
Wintamute commented on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B   bloomberg.com/news/articl... · Posted by u/caoxuwen
rchaud · 3 years ago
Yep. Sketch can feel limited compared to Figma (I hate that they need iOS Mirror app instead of being able to access interactive prototypes on the web), but I love that they are a desktop app and you don't have to keep paying forever.
Wintamute · 3 years ago
You've been able to play Sketch prototypes on the web for a few years already, also they just released a new iPhone app that lets you preview prototypes and docs. Their iOS Mirror app is pretty much deprecated now I think
Wintamute commented on Half of UK university students think degree is poor value for money   theguardian.com/education... · Posted by u/mocko

Which is a good thing. More high educated people is better. Back in the days only a handful of people with the right background were able to study. Yes it might diminish the value of a degree. Now actual additional skills and experience are needed to stand out. I am totally fine with this. Gone are the days of arrogant students thinking their degree is automatically bring them wealth (ok not entirely true in lots of countries). But still. We are heading into the right (not always perfect) direction.
Wintamute · 5 years ago
That seems like a naive assessment of an education model that is failing across multiple dimensions of analysis. It saddles many students with crippling debt. It monopolises some of the most productive years of a persons life studying subjects often of minimal practical value to their future careers. It drains public funding and resources.

You say more highly educated people is better as if its a truism, it doesn't seem so clear to me. I don't see why, for example, someone spending their early 20s in an apprenticeship, doing vocational training or in an industry learning on the job is inherently worse for them or society than receiving a higher education.

Just about the only unambiguous positive I can see in university is the chance to grow and learn as a young person in a social setting, freshly independent of parents. But surely there are more efficient approaches that could be employed here.

> illegal strike

I genuinely can't tell if you're being sarcastic with your comment.

Wintamute · 5 years ago
It's not clear from your comment, but I'm assuming you deem the term "illegal strike" oxymoronic. It isn't.
